ZipsVoice - Appreciate your support and attendance at the swim meets. Look me up at the MACC's next month. I also attend every meet so let's sit together. Even with a few injuries/illnesses this season, Brian has the team peaking at the best time. Will be exciting to see Ocasek Natatorium packed for three straight days. 72Roo - I don't know crap about P5 swimming and diving budgets so since your the expert I will assume that you have done an analysis. Sad to hear we are at a severe disadvantage. To be honest with you I don't know the dollar amount of UA swimming budget. What is it? Since the athletic department does not have control of the UA facility does that make our budget less than other universities that allocate the facility expense to the team?

Come on 72, the team is going for their 6th straight MAC Championship. Your NOW comment makes it look like they are just getting to the top of the league. They have dominated the league for 6 years. Glad you finally noticed.

Wrong. It is the other arm and surgery on the wrist is scheduled for early this week.

Isn't this kind of an insult to both Jimond and LaPear. LaPear has been injured and not available for games and has missed significant months of practice since the back injury this summer. I assume LaPear will make this a red shirt season and hope his back improves in the off season. Jimond is having a senior season we all hoped for. Comparing him to an injured team member is not a true compliment.

NO.

NWAkron said "Kent plays all of their home games at 7pm" Wow. Thanks for that info because I've must have been watching some other KSU this season. 11/18 Alcorn St 4pm 12/1 Norfolk St. 4pm 12/8 Wright St. 4pm 12/31 Oberlin 2pm

Jimmy Ivey and Dan Riak will improve. Utomi is a shooter. Keep him shooting.

Please correct the spelling of her name. It is NOGAJ. Pronunciation is no-guy

To give you another challenge.....name the 13 players on a scholarship for this season!

You can not have 15 scholarships in D1 Men's basketball. Women are allowed 15. Men only 13. Nice roster list you made but not material for an accurate update to the chart.

So much for all the fuss about the preseason rankings. Can we even make it to the NCAA's post season?

Getting factual may be spitting hairs but the article you reference reinforces my point. if you measure the percentage of an age group who does not buy a product, then Millenials are the largest "cordless" demographic group. If you measure the group who has purchased the product in the past and no longer buys the product (ie cord cutting) then the Boomers are the largest demographic group. Millenials avoid many purchase decisions that the preseding generations made regularly. Home purchases, first class seating on airplanes, etc. That doesnt make the Millenials inferior but just more frugal than their parents generation.

The Daugherty/Williams/Nance/Price/Ehlo Cavs is the best team to ever play basketball in Summit County.

This is probably not relevant to your discussion because you guys already have your positions staked out but your data is not correct. Baby Boomers are the largest consumer grouping that has removed cable/satellite service. This trend has been in effect for over 20 years. They represent the highest penetration of cable users and so they would naturally have the highest defection rate. For the most part Millennials never bought the cable/satellite services in high numbers so they are not the "largest group of cord cutters" . A more accurate description would be the largest generational group to have never purchased cable/satellite service.

Disney-Fox merger approved but they must spin off Fox Sports Ohio and Sports Time Ohio. ESPN will not get access to additional programming assets in NE Ohio. https://bit.ly/2MsTnTs

My wife and I were at the Diamond Head classic in 2013. We did not go last year. Your right I love to travel to the holiday tournaments.

Our team hotel is the Westin....https://www.westingrandcayman.com/ The Westin is also the team hotel for Creighton and Georgia.

Great location. Good competition. No hurricane damage here. Who is going down to support the ZIps?

Z.I.P. said " I can imagine they're feeling homesick by now. " is not possible. They have never moved from their Ohio home.

Looks like we have wrapped it up for this chaotic post season. https://bit.ly/2GdXNKs I have not seen any news on where some of last years departing players have landed. Anyone have any updates I missed?

Please define "stabilize" as it relates to today's D1 Men's basketball environment. Thanks in advance for your response.

Black press will make more money selling the city block on which the BJ sits than selling the staff and circulation to Gatehouse. It is the true value proposition to Black Press. Developers will bid aggressively to get that full block downtown. Even the City of Akron is selling off their downtown real estate while the market is hot ......https://bit.ly/2qvaZor UA should put the Quaker Square property on the market right now. The best chance for dumping this drain on university resources. It cost more to keep it open than the revenue it can bring to UA.

Say good night to the "Townhouse Bar" aka the "Plasma Center" Source Uakron.edu......UA Construction News for summer 2018 Plasma Alliance Building (University Foundation and Grant Funded) The Plasma Alliance Building at the corner of East Exchange and Brown streets is scheduled for abatement and razing in April and May, respectively. Site restoration is expected to be completed in May as well.

I have seen nothing that says ESPN3 (paid for by the cable companies) will disappear. Some programming may appear on both venues. Initial press release by Disney is confusing to me.
