Saw the same thing. Just holding the ball would have given us at least a chance to come back.

The BobcatAttack board is nearly 100% in expressing embarrassment with the scene. I bet that every AD in the country started an investigation yesterday to verify that their mascot and cheerleaders were students of their university.

How many OU Bobcats does it take to cook microwave popcorn? Maybe we should use the money to buy them pre-popped corn in bags since they can't handle such intricate devices. Ohio U. federal grant to help cut microwave fires 8/11/2010 8:58 AM ET ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio University hopes to keep firefighters from running to the campus over burning popcorn or other food in dorm room microwave ovens. The school says it has been awarded a $388,000 federal grant, most of which will be used to buy 4,500 sensors for microwaves in the residence halls. The sensors can detect smoke in small quantities and will shut off the appliances to keep burning food from becoming bad enough to set off a dorm smoke detector and alarm system. University Environmental Health and Safety Director Joe Adams estimates it cost Athens city firefighters more than $2,000 each time they have to respond to a call on the campus. Adams says the sensors should help reduce nuisance fire runs by at least 75 percent.

Thanks ZW....and if you can't attend, buy a hole sponsorship for $200. Contact Lamont Paris or LeeAnne Casey in the Basketball Team Office @ 330-972-7781. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 23rd at Portages CC.

The Alumni Basketball Players, coaching staff and the fan volunteers who help organize this annual fund raising event invite you to attend this year’s Men’s Basketball Summer Classic. This outing is rapidly growing in popularity so don’t wait to send in your reservation form which is attached to this thread. The reservation form is also HERE. In 2008 we played at Raintree Country Club and had 34 foursomes. Last year the outing was at Silver Lake Country Club and a record 45 foursomes were in attendance. Last year for the first time we had to use both morning and afternoon shot gun starts. This year the event is being hosted by Portage Country Club in Akron. We have again expanded the outing with full morning and afternoon flights so we can handle more golfers on the course. Whichever time slot you choose, we all attend the same noon luncheon and get to hear Keith’s prospective on the new players and the coming season. We have improved the event each year (while keeping the registration fee constant) and you have responded in record numbers. A new feature this year is having a caddy for each foursome (still playing in carts). Portage Country Club has offered this service at no charge to our event. It will greatly speed up play and you the golfer can enjoy the event without worrying about raking traps, hunting for balls, holding the pin, etc. A great enhancement that makes this golf outing extra special. The importance of this fund raising event is highlighted in the letter from Keith Dambrot on the registration form. If you cannot attend, please consider helping out the basketball program by becoming a corporate or individual hole sponsor. Sponsorship questions can be forwarded to Coach Lamont Paris (330-972-7788 office number or lparis@uakron.edu). Don’t wait to form your foursome and enroll. This is a prepay event with registration and payment do no later the August 16th. I will regularly check this thread so if you have any questions, post them and I will get you an answer. On behalf of Keith Dambrot, the coaching staff, players (current and alumni) and fan volunteers, thanks for your past support. We all look forward to seeing you at Portage Country Club on Monday, August 23rd. Go Zips! 2010MBBSummerGolfBrochure.pdf

now up and in progress

black screen and no sound for me

The group in grey sweatshirts sitting in the north end behind the cheerleaders was from Girard High School.

I know we are all excited but I think we are really 23-0-1.

AD's thoughts from Tom Gaffney article to be published in the ABJ on Tuesday.http://www.ohio.com/sports/78174702.html

I arrive on Thursday and depart after the Sunday game.Using Continental from CLE to MCO (Orlando) for $299.If you are planning to go, try and get into the Hilton. It's on the beach and directly across the street from the arena. This is also where the team is staying.

Way to go RedHawks.......http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=bottom10091609

A nice note on David Carducci's Can't Sports Blog about UA's response to the Jarvis injury. Also note that Carducci is reporting that Can't QB Morgan is out for this weeks Iowa State game. The point spread on this game is going to be ugly.http://www.blogs.dixcdn.com/kentstatesports/

Congratulations to Nate Linhart.........1. For completing his course work this summer and graduating!2. For becoming a professional athlete. Nate has signed a contract to play for the Furstenfeld Panthers. He traveled to Austria this weekend to establish his new apartment. When the season gets started you can follow Nate's team at www.panthers.at (it helps if you speak German). Below is a picture of Nate in his new uniform.Again....congratulations to Nate !

Please take some of your stock portfolio gains from the last 6 months and send a check to Hunter Y for $250K and he will let you sponsor the back of the board. You can participate in the design. When the money shows up the temporary cover will be replaced. A chance to see you name in lights. Stop moaning about a minor temporary situation at a great new stadium.

You may want to be more specific.Sorry, thought they were pretty obvious. Look at the top of the lower deck stands, looks like some large white panels being stood up but only part way down the stands. It doesn't look permamant and doesn't exist on the west side stands.Those are platforms. Assuming ADA seating platforms. But I don't know why they set them up like that.G-M17....you are correct. They are aluminum platforms that replace the top five rows of seating in the lower bowl. They seat supplier must prove that the regular seating can be removed and the temporary ADA seating can be installed as specified in the contract. If you look at cam1 and scan the lower bowl of the west tower you can see where the seat removal is underway to test the west side ADA seating.

They are installing the north endzone auxillary scoreboard above the ground entrance to the endzone building.

....and I thought the Flying Wallendas had been booked to perform on opening night.

It was another exciting week of basketball in NE Ohio. Plenty of star power and controversy (ie: Lebron dunk tape). See link below if you missed the action. This is the best blog I have found on the events at the JAR and Wolstein Center. Nice mention of Dru III and Rome. A really funny note on LJ Jr. Nice to see Craig Ehlo involved again this year.http://www.slamonline.com/online/college-h...g-city-classic/

There will be lights behind both stands. The lights on the west side will be on top of the press tower, while the lights on the east will be on light poles.Uakronkid - You are correct except you should have said "The lights are on top of the press tower"". On Wednesday and Thursday about half of the west tower lights were installed.

Anybody have any idea how you actually "win" the tournament if all games are preprogrammed?Is the third game Saturday or the 22nd?I rechecked the schedule and they have made a change. The tournament still opens on Thursday but we play NC State on Friday, Drake on Saturday and Howard on Sunday. I have no idea who is playing on Thursday in the new setup.

All are home games except:NC State - Neutral siteDrake - Neutral siteHoward - Neutral siteTexas A&M - College Station TXWyoming - Laramie WY

Elton missed one game on his list...add University Illinois - Chicago as a home game on December 22nd.

Friday, November 20th vs NC StateSaturday, November 21st vs DrakeSunday, November 22nd vs HowardWebsite is not completely updated yet (full tournament schedule not updated) but here it is. http://glennwilkes.com/Click on the "2009 GWC Info" button for package prices.
