All good assessments...but let us keep in mind that Tressel is HELPING with fundraising for the new arena. He is not alone in that endeavor and never has been. There are many who have been "behind the scenes" long before Tressel arrived on campus who have been gaining donors for a new on-campus University of Akron Arena. And, BTW, if any of you think there is still a chance of the UA arena going downtown, take a very big bite of a reality sandwich. Look at all of the goals and objectives of Dr. P, Tom W., KD, and TB. We will have a new campus arena and it will be state-of-the-art and funded by alumni and other doors. The unfortunate dip in enrollment and lack of state funding will not negatively influence this project. While these factors impose a challenge, UA will succeed in its drive to build a new state-of-the art on-campus college arena.

Here we go again! Will someone wake me when they break ground?

I know the guy has a history of being a hot head, but it seems immaterial to the facts. This was a prudent decision on the part of the prosecutor and the officer involved. UA police have been empowered in like manner as state highway patrol since the '60s. There was never a question over their having firearms and authority off campus. The only issue was whether or not this was a "good kill". and it was. http://www.ohio.com/news/break-news/prosec...torist-1.412104

Where is that Marriott touted by the mayor to the stars? http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_new...t-courtyard-inn

And, by the way...BOOM!

Just like an Elvis impersonator... and no one ever landed on the moon... and the holocaust never existed. Nice fake picture

Doesn't matter what some sources say. Correct English and grammar still reigns above trendy fake lingo, Just like the name Xavior is pronounced Zavior and not Exavior. Stop the phonieness.

I thought Lyndon Banes Johnson was dead. That is who "LBJ" represents. "Bron" is part of LeBron's first name and not his middle name. His initials are LJ not LBJ. He and I had lunch together the other day and he told me that he hates it when people refer to him as "LBJ".

So, Quaker Square closed in spite of all its booming patronage right? You do realize that downtown Akron still has one hotel left. Try checking into how that one is doing as well for your so-called "business model". No one other than you said that hotels in downtown environments are a total waste. We're talking about downtown Akron specifically. If you can't put forth the dollars to buy and operate your own hotel in downtown Akron, then I suggest you put a sock in it. As always you don't have a clue. You just want to shoot your sarcastic mouth off and pick fights (eye rolling here).

I agree! I just wish he didn't have to sit out this season.

We have a convention center called John S. Knight. It's all Akron needs and there is absolutely no issue whatsoever with downtown hotel space. Very few want to stay in a downtown Akron hotel. That is why Jay Nausbaum shut his Quaker Square Hotel down and the university saved it from the wrecking ball. I see no shame here whatsoever. For the most part, the so-called hotel space at Quaker Square was hardly used before UA bought it and certainly after UA bought it. UA was just placating the mayor in one of his many fake hissy fits falsely accusing UA of "shutting it down". The university waisted a lot of time and money going through the charade of running a hotel that was neither needed nor wanted. All things must come to an end and I say good riddance. Hotel space in downtown Akron is a fake issue being propped up by those who refuse to face facts and move on. Wringing hands over the topic is more about politics than progress.

It was never needed as a hotel in the first place. UA should have made it 100% student housing from the get-go back in 2007. The mayor's tantrum was just bad theatre and the Akron Speaking Urinal backed his dishonest claims as usual. http://www.ohio.com/news/akron-s-landmark-...9249?comments=n

"I messed up at Ohio State and have only myself to blame for that. There were a lot of questions about why I left, and Akron discussed the issues with me and I felt they were ready to let the past be the past. I have no legal issues or academic issues at all, and I'm coming to Akron very humble and looking to contribute how I can." Is this a quote from Jim Tressel?
