  1. We'd be better off with a monkey as coach...so not too much of a consolation. This one isn't dead yet. I think we are forgetting that the Canton Rep article just said he wasn't in Akron today...we all knew that. Other than that, it's mostly opinion, and we have plenty of that already. I'm sure if he really turns it down, someone will leak info and a real media outlet will pick it up. Then we will know.
  2. This whole thing is getting quite asinine. Are you quoting the goofball from twitter who said Akron offered 6 million over 4 years? I have some swampland in Arizona to sell you if that's where you're coming up with info. People are making up BS, broadcasting it on Twitter/Fb on purpose, and then laughing. This includes some of our own. Time to stop monitoring and sit back and wait to see what happens like I did with our last homerun. It's too bad some people are ruining it..but bobbyake is 100% right on an offer being made. Hopefully that one can be confirmed by the university, because otherwise it would be impossible to prove. But hey, i'm not too worried if a few people don't believe it...i wouldn't without personal knowledge either.
  3. Saw the news van and a cameraman as well. Interesting, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was just for a story on how big it's getting...nothing of substance.
  4. I am one of the admins for that....no idea who posted that.
  5. Tressel is NOT in the Union. I even walked in on that meeting and found out it was an Engineering board (or something) meeting...they were not pleased. As far as the board of trustees meeting. Somebody was in that room meeting, but from learning that the entire "Tressel in Union" thing was 100% for sure made up by someone, I don't believe he was in there. Rumors suck when they aren't true but wow did that one blow up fast. It might actually be a good thing.
  6. Scoured the building...had two other friends watch the outside of the building on each side. I haven't seen him personally but there was a buzz on the second floor about it . Also, there is some sort of meeting in a large conference room on third floor of union. Professional looking people have been coming every few minutes and there has to be at least 20 people in there. Problem is, the doorway doesn't get much view. Trying to get a friend to take my camera across to Crouse to try to peer in window ha. This is ridiculous...i'm not sold that he's here yet.
  7. Tressel in student union? WTF Twitter. *Running* got video cam and DSLR in bookbag...
  8. MODERATOR EDIT: Please don't post full text of paid articles here @ ZN.O. The snippet from ESPN is a citation of the LCS article linked above. No new information. Pulled up a wire story and charged people for it. Insider eh? Glad we have ESPN to redirect us to articles we've known about for 10 hours.
  9. The Martin Center is very elegant. Sounds like UA may be hosting a luncheon with JT and local community/business leaders? looking in to that as well
  10. I'm roaming campus today...looking for any sign in the expected places... Nothing yet.
  11. Lake County Sentinel
  12. What's the Martin Center (excuse me if this is a dumb question)? The martin center is a banquet hall too. It's where the Varsity A Association inducts the Akron sports hall of fame inductees every year. It's a really nice traditional building. UA Website
  13. Facebook Note from ESPN intern Just thought i'd share.
  14. The rumor about Tressel being on campus is 100% true, which I find interesting that he is reporting otherwise. Hopefully we find out everything tomorrow. Technically is was in the JAR BEFORE the game...not AT the game. EXACTLY.
  15. can we make a damn free throw? and Cvetinovic hasn't taken a good shot in two weeks.
  16. I think when they're referring to "info" maybe it's a reference to InfoCision Stadium. Where we go to watch our 1 win football teams, then they cross the street, buy some drugs from the crackheads that makes them believe that Tressel would ever come to Akron. So ya if that's the "info" you're referring to, it's caused about over a dozen pages of hallucination. Just getting you in quotes in case you have to eat those insults later. I hope he does. All of this negativity is ridiculous. Obviously everyone (except GP1) wants Tressel because he would do GREAT things for the University and football program; and from what is going around, it isn't that far fetched to think it's a possibility. So what's with the negativity? Do you people not want Akron to succeed? Don't say you're "being realists" or any of that bull either. The truth is, many of you are just run-of-the-mill disgruntled NEOhio sports fans that never can believe that something good is possibly happening. Well, maybe that's part of the problem. Stop being so damn negative and get behind this thing, because maybe that unified support is just what UA and local leaders need to help make this a reality. We don't need you people being Negative Nancy's.
  17. I didn't mention the impact this could have on enrollment. If Akron were to hire Jim Tressel, you could assume that it would cause an enrollment increase as high school students will see Akron as a big deal. You could also assume that this would cause an enrollment decrease for K SUcks as high school students would prefer Akron. HS students already prefer Akron...some are just unlucky enough to have to go to Can't State instead.
  18. The final nail in his coffin? the story seems to be positive. It actually looks encouraging and something to help his case getting a coaching job again. Yeah, I don't get what you were going for here Z.I.P. Were you being sarcastic?
  19. I PERSONALLY saw Jim Tressel at the JAR Saturday night. Sorry for not posting this sooner but I was out of town until 6 am this morning. I showed up to the game fairly early and walked around the arena after entering. I noticed a group of people around the exit of the TEL (SE corner of the JAR) and noticed a man that looked a lot like Tressel. I joked that Tressel was in attendance to my girlfriend, who made fun of me and said i was crazy. Upon closer look, it seemed to be him. He was wearing a grey suit with a blue tie that had some sort of design on it. I took a long range picture (that shows nothing, don't worry) and then approached to get a better one but he was gone. I assume he went into the TEL or down the stairs. I can understand why people are skeptical but this "rumor" is VERY true.
  20. They had their meeting...according to several players on the team, it was a run of the mill meeting discussing things going forward for the team. Nothing specific was mentioned in terms of who we are targeting for head coach. "We had a meeting and we weren't told anything other than 'coaches are being evaluated'" -- Clayton Moore
  21. as much as they need...i have info that the bigwigs of business in the area are involved in this search.
  22. This is to the moderators/ZN.o gods... I know that a lot of ZN.o users know about the issue with posting from their iPad/iPhone/iPod to Zipsnation. IP Board has an iOS app (and Android app) that's out that allows iOS users to post easily to any IPB forum that they are members of but it requires that the site run on 3.1 or newer. Any chance that ZN.o will update at any point? I know that the site is fantastic the way it is, but it really sucks not being able to post from my iPhone. I have a snarky/witty comment to add sometimes when i'm on the run and it's disappointing when I lose the inspiration by the time i get to my PC. Oh...and does anyone have any suggestions to alleviate this problem in the short term?
  23. Now Wistrcill needs to go and we will be good!
  24. If he brings in Tressel, I'll see to it that a new facebook group gets started: "build TW a statue IMMEDIATELY!"
  25. He wouldn't make us a Top 25 team. He could get us what OU has right now and I would take an 8-9 win season in a second. I actually think a lot of guys could win at Akron given the chance. Jim Tressel is one of the top 5 coaches in America. He's also an incredible recruiters. Trust me, we'd be Top 25 within 2-3 years. +1 His connections paired with his ability/personality would put us on a fast track to cracking the top 25 at one point. We would become the top of the MAC in a few years.
