If we could get Jim Grobe as advisor, it would complete the trifecta. Seriously, this would be high schoolish beyond belief. I don't even think Akron would do this.

I call them losers.

What is wrong with you?

I'm 55 and don't think I've ever seen a worse Kent State team. Right or wrong?

That's not excuse. I went to a sports bar in Raleigh because my hotel didn't have CBS Sports.

There is a lot outside of just the players and coaches that has to change before I believe a corner has been turned. The Zips had a really good win last night, but that's short term. If the Zips played as well last night against top tier mac schools, they would be going to a bowl, but Kent has a way of making teams look better than they are.

This is a really entertaining game so far.

It is important to a lot of people.

Get 96 out of the game. His stupidity is a liability.

I have to admit, the crowd is better than I expected from what I can see on TV. Imagine if they played this game on a day of the week and time that was convenient for students alumni fans and general community around Akron to attend.

Someone needs to tell Joe to stay off the Barberton chicken.

Well, they will have the excitement of sell out crowds, Big Ten TV money, a club level and luxury suites. Northwestern doesn't need a giant stadium. They need a stadium that will benefit the athletes students alumni fans and general community around Chicago. Looks like they got it.

When I see this list, I'm not surprised by any of it except for Tulsa.

I injected him because I didn't have anything more interesting to say.

Yes. We are talking about that guy. We used to talk about him a lot more.

Akron ---> Heaven where we find out Jim Grobe is God after all.

Joe Biden? He strikes me as a genius. Maybe not Him Grobe though.

Not if Jim Grobe was coaching us.

Here are my thoughts on the game. I'm glad I didn't see a play.

I work with a guy whose brother is an extremely well known defensive coordinator in the NFL. When the Browns were going 1-15, people would say OSU or Alabama could beat the Browns. He asked his brother if that was true. His brother just laughed and told him the Browns would beat OSU and Alabama 77-0 and they would struggle to get more than one first down per drive. I thought of that when I saw your post.

My life experience tells me that no matter how hot it is out, no matter how cold it is outside, it's always 72 degrees on a barstool. Cleveland can do this. Maybe not on the scale of CLT, but it can be done.

I think the best thing about watching MACtion is seeing how good of a job the camera crews do of avoiding showing empty stands.

This is fascinating. Thanks for posting. I live in South Carolina, but if there were no other cars on the road, it would take me less than 20 minutes to get to the Carolina Panthers stadium. Charlotte is a bustling city. The part of CLT that is most happening is the South End just across a bridge from uptown. South Blvd runs through it. When moved here 18 years, a mayor of CLT referred to South Blvd as The Corridor of Crap. Now, there are 10 miles of things to do. It's designed for young people to have fun. What happened in CLT could happen in Cleveland and to a smaller extent Akron. These cities MUST make their downtowns a place for young people to live, work and have fun. The failure of Cleveland has been not making downtown an attractive place to live and hoping people from suburbs come and spend money. If the people already live there, there is a lot less hoping. Columbus figured this out two decades ago. Cincinnati figured out later than Columbus and I hear it now has a busy downtown. Cleveland needs to figure it out soon. I can't believe the amount of energy people in Cleveland are putting into trying to keep the Browns by the lake. The best thing that could happen to Cleveland would be for that pile of junk of a franchise to move out to that junkyard by the airport and play there. It opens up acres of land for lakefront property and development for young people. That area would be better than Charlotte's South End.
