Didn't coach Faust have one heck of a recruiting year when he signed 7 or 9 (can't remember) of the "Miricle 22" from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette?That was when Pitt was changing coaches...I think Johnny Majors was coming back...and he slipped in there and took some top-shelf talent.

Well, I worked in radio for many years. When a spot has an expiration date on it, you don't run it.It should even appear on the log (that's what the board op uses to tell what spot to play).If they ran an old spot, the client deserves a "make good."Sorry, this one falls on the station.

Bleacher...in all fairness, that's the radio station's fault for not pulling an outdated spot.

By the way, on the one shot, you can see the Beer Tent at the open end of the Rubber Bowl.

Great stuff Zipsrifle!!!These are really great shots. Never seen them before. Thanks

I noticed in one of the documents that they called for Field Turf for maximum utilization.

I can understand your frustration, but really...don't be so hard on yourself. No one deserves that.I've had dealings with the athletic administration at this school since 1977.I've said it before and I'll say it again...we are still a D II school in many ways.Remember when Summit County Employees Night was the big draw?PA-LEESE, yep, that's gonna bring 'em in.At least we could look forward to one big-time crowd and event, but unfortunately the Acme Zip game is only a fond memory.And I want my blanket!!!! (But I'm sorry we're out. This IS the last home game, you know. You'll have to complain at the ticket office)

I don't really care. I was just kidding.But the Alum asso does have my up to date e mail address...unless they don't even check their own Web site where I'm registered...even have my ugly mug up there.

I didn't get a "Season's Greeting" from the Alumni Association, but I did get a card from the Athletic Department. I'm gonna look again at my diploma, maybe I never graduated, just bought season tickets. Got home from work...there was an envelope from the U. Could it be my Christmas card????Nope...turned out to be a solicitation letter to the Akron Foundation.Yeah, right...No card, No money!!!! he he he

I couldn't agree more.Even though next year's schedule already has a few big boys, I say put Pitt on...

I guess I'm not getting one since I didn't donate to the College of Fine and Applied Arts this year!

I'm sorry Indians....Cleveland TV does NOT cover every YSU game. A playoff game...perhaps...but not EVERY game. I didn't sya TV, the PD and other print papers in cleveland does. I know this because of buddy of mine is a writer who I met up with several times at YSU. Sometimes the Pittsburgh Post has more insightful articles on YSU football then the Youngstown Vindy, Warren Tribune or Mahoning Valley Review had. Nethir the Youngstown Vindy, Warren Tribune or Pittsburgh post have any coverage of Akron and it pisses me off. I have to get the PD in order to read anything, and most of the time I have to read through YSU shit just to get to ours.I think YSU and Akron should meet, it would give me bragging rights with the in-laws. I already got some having our women beat YSU I guess what threw me off was that you mentioned Channels 5 and 19 in the same sentence.Newspapers, well yeah, doesn't take much to put a blurb in Ohio wrap up. I'm sure they also have the occasional feature.This type of coverage is pretty standard though...I wouldn't expect the Warren, Youngstown or Pittsburgh paper to cover Akron...other than in a MAC roundup or something. But with no MAC schools in the Pittsburgh area...you're not likely to see that. When you are talking coverage, you must be referring to Ohio or conference scores and roundups. I don't see any Youngstown State coverage other than that in Cleveland/Akron media...and unless there's something special to write about..nor should there be. If you're looking for Zip news, I'd reach for the Beacon rather than the PD...of course, I don't know if you live in the Akrong area to pick one up...I do wish YSU would go Div. I though. I wouldn't mind putting them on the sked either...but I hesitate to put a I-AA on there. However, If we're going to play a IAA I'd rather see YSU than Howard or someone like that...even though the band was fantastic.

I'm sorry Indians....Cleveland TV does NOT cover every YSU game. A playoff game...perhaps...but not EVERY game.

In addition....the Steel Tire Trophy was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.If you do move up and we play you...let's bag that idea.Youngstown doesn't make steel and Akron doesn't make tires anymore.

You forget about the Steel Tire Rivalry. If Akron didn't run out of that series, it would be back and forth between Akron and Youngstown every year. Throw out the I-A/I-AA Argument. When you are rivals, with a series going on, you do not just quit it because your opponent had won 3 in a row against you.And once again: YSU Draws more than Akron! That alone would be reason enough to have a game here. I know you guys won't like it, but why not, you struggle to get 10,000 at your place, while YSU gets 17,000 each week.THE ONLY PLACE AKRON WILL BENEFIT OFF YOUNGSTOWN FANS DRIVING 45 MINUTES TO THE RUBBER BOWL WOULD BE TO HAVE AKRON FANS COME TO YOUNGSTOWN.... PERIOD!Your AD Knows damn well you need to get that 15,000 a year mark, as well as Terry Pluto of the ABJ.... And even he says to play Youngstown, somehow someway....O ya... Howard-Liberty each suck....and Cal Poly was not all that good in 02; when they were ranked.STEEL TIRE RIVALRY Lets move on to something else...shall we?Move up to IA and stop your bitching...then we'll play you OK? You find fault with everyone but the people who can move you up a division...your own administration. Stop blaming everyone else already.We weren't in a conference when we made the jump..just go ahead and do it already for crying out loud (which is what you do very well).

Tell that to the guy from YSU.Did the NCAA rename D-IAA to some kind of a Division I title?I've heard this on a couple of boards.Not that I-AA is on the same level as IA, just calling it something else doesn't mean anything.

I wonder if the players could have done that better than KD (if NCAA rules allow?). I love what KD's doing on the court etc., but making "commercials" doesn't seem to be his forte, and that's OK. Just get us the wins, baby! I made this comment on another board in Zips Basketball Forum Coach D didn't read a cue card he memorized what he was suppose to say and happened to look up a lot i don't know why...I was there in his office doing the taping...another thing that was brought up was the office lighting...the department has no lights to do any in house commericals...marketing wanted a cheap fast way to get something on the board...and taping was done a day before the game.In regaurds to the players that would have been cool don't know why marketing didn't think of that ooo well. they should try a prompter next time.doesn't cost much to rent.big time program...huhfor goodness sakes...do what we did in Guzzetta hall...write the script on paper towel roll and drag it over a broom stick under the lens. :blink: :blink: :blink:

turn out the lights.

Man O Man...bad foul

that was a big turnover too...and they couldn't capitalize.....

C' mon Zippers.....

Is everyone watching on the Horizon League Network Web site?This is really great...and free.Way, way better than the MAC site where you have to pay 8 bucks for lousy audio and video.

Both Division I Now my friend...

Just curious Zen...why do you think soccer will survive this time around when it has not in the past?

Too Too funny.You should post that on the MAC Board.But then again, maybe not. They'll just bring up the whole "a felon is my roommate issue" again.Good job
