Our crew will now be enjoying Lot 9. Looking forward to some great times.

I agree. I know several people in either athletic offices with universities or in high positions in league offices, and they basically say the same thing, "that working in the UA athletics dept. is toxic".

I was there thru the 3rd quarter. My niece was in the band and my wife was working selling tickets. I dressed warmer than I ever had in the past and it still took me 4 hours to thaw out afterwards.

My mistake on Cincy.

Cincy & Dayton are not state supported universities.

I would assume TW did some serious griping to the MAC. I spoke with several different people within the athletic administration, expressing my profound disbelief at last years schedule. I also know that I wasn't the only one complaining, so I'm sure our voice found its way to TW.

Done.

Since I nhave u-verse, I am blacked out of watching the game. Anyone have a work around?

The attitude with some fans is truly scary. 2 years ago a young lady and her boy friend were standing in the aisle about 8 rows from I sit. She was wearing tOSU & he was wearing Michigan garb. she walked past me and I blatantly told that this was a Zips game and the Suckeyes were not playing here. Her response was " Don't worry honey, I go to school here". It just goes to show that our students don't give a damn.

BG is replacing UAB on the Tennessee schedule for the season opener. BG will receive $1.2 mil.

and will not be rescheduled.

Not looking good for next Tuesday or Wednesday, per GT's article on Ohio.com.

Correct. 36 bowl games plus the 2 national semi-final games and the championship.

Watching the replay now.

Game time temp 15, with a wind chill of 0.

Reason 3 is why I did not re-up my season tickets for this year. There was no way I would be able to function on Wednesday at work after attending a Tuesday night contest. In addition, this year, due to work I couldn't make the Thursday night game and the game last Saturday. Hopefully, next year' schedule will be a bit more fan favorable.

Before he had the nut farm in the Falls, in was in Springfield. At that time I worked for a restaurant, and on Friday nights after the service our store was packed. Was never able to buy into any of that.

Average attendance thru 3 games is 10,292. Miami is the last Saturday game at home this season. Temps should be in the upper 50's with a small chance of rain. I hope I am wrong, but I don't see more than 9K in attendance for this game.

UA basketball: Nick Harney departs team by 'mutual agreement' By George Thomas Published: June 11, 2014The University of Akron men’s basketball team has parted ways with a player that they hoped would be a cornerstone when he arrived. Forward Nick Harney transferred to Division II Fairmont State in West Virginian, according to a Fox Sports Ohio report. Zips coach Keith Dambrot confirmed the report Wednesday morning via phone call. “We just thought it was in his best interest to play elsewhere,” Dambrot said. “It was mutually agreed upon.” Harney, who averaged 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds last season, had a rocky stay at with the Zips that included three suspensions, the most recent one being for a violation of team rules in February. At 6-foot-8, it’s a case of a player with much potential never living up to it. Harney could be dominant in the post, but played inconsistently. Look below the surface, however, and perhaps other factors existed. Three suspensions in three years say plenty Harney’s time at UA. Dambrot rarely wants to give up on any individual.

Originally, all they were checking on was if the TO occurred prior to the clock expiring. However, when they went back from the point where the ball was put in play, is when they noticed the missed restart of the clock.

Sometime ago, I was speaking with several people in with colleges throughout the country. They told me that job function of the president has changed over the years. In years, prior, it was running the college or university. Today's president, has a person in charge of that area and the president's job is raise awareness of the university and to raise funds(most important). Raising funds is either by the private sector of grants, donations, scholarships, etc. In the public sector, it was working with all branches of the government to obtain funding for the school, whether it is for academics, athletics, buildings, research, etc.

I also agree with what you say. First and foremost, the MAC is a football conference. Until the MAC decides that they want to step it up with basketball, it will always be playing second fiddle. There needs to be a mandate from the MAC to upgrade ooc schedules, to upgrade facilities, and to increase pay for all coaches.

No defense from either team. Both teams shooting over 60%.

the line hasn't changed since I posted yesterday.

Zips are 2.5 point dogs for this game.
