GP1

I'm sure most of her followers would say "You need to stop being an intellectual elitist!"Do you mean "stupid"?

Have to be able to read to use a teleprompter.Nice!!!!!

GP1, if you had half the balls she has ... why ... you'd actually have some creds on this board.If having balls means being a complete fool, nobody needs balls.This woman is as dumb as a dried up bag of leaves. She is married to someone even more stupid with homophobic and racist ideas. No thanks. Birds of a feather flock together. If you want to support that, then I guess it is a free country. I guess you are one of them. I take pride in knowing a fool like you doesn't share my ideas. There was a time in American history when someone with her ideas would have been laughed away. Because of FOX News, her ideas are taken seriously. This woman is a danger to this country. There was a time in this country when William F. Buckley was the head of the conservative movement in the US. Today, it is Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Bachmann. We are doomed.

As long as we are talking politics, this lady could actually win the Republican nomination. The last three seconds are cringeworthy.

The French try to cut back executive power. We should be looking at the same type of reforms here. Three equal branches of government, not one and those other two.

I saw JH one time at a Pens game in the old arena in the Igloo Club. Between periods, he signed autographs and took photos with anyone who asked. Talked to the people too and was very nice. Not the guy in the magazine article.

LOL? OMG, BZ!? ROTFLMAO! +1Three of the top five or six of the college football talking heads on ESPN are OSU graduates and played there. For years, they have done nothing but pump up that program. Now that OSU has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, ESPN is now a bad network out to get OSU. It's stupid beyond belief to believe that.

There is no such thing as common sense.If there was a common sense, people would know the difference between a celebrity making $60 million for a movie and a college athlete making a few hundred dollars.

The Constitution requires 2/3 majority for treaties. FT skirts that requirement. It is an example of people believing something is true regardless of whether or not it is true. It doesn't have to be real, it just has to be believed to be real.It's sort of like how West Virginia became a state. WV became a state by the presidential decree of President Lincoln. A presidential decree is not one of the methods of becoming a state defined by the Constitution, yet everyone believes WV is a state. As a point of law, it isn't. After the Civil War, WV should have become part of VA again and we should have 49 states. It would have been a minor issue back then, unnoticed in today's world. I stayed the night one time in Charleston, WV and WV Public TV had a half hour special where they talked to a guy who wrote a book about this issue. He was a professor at WVU or Marshall or somewhere in WV.

Obama isn't evil. He is actually a nice guy who is in over his head. He is a guy who came from humble beginnings and became the President of the United States. Whether or not you agree with his politics, that is the American dream.When Obama makes decisions and claims executive power, he is doing nothing more than what a long line of presidents have done since WWII. NAFTA was put on a fast track. It was completely against the Constitution. That was far worse than anything Obama has done. There was a time in this country when the legislative branch was the strongest branch of government. We need to get back to those days. It has nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with the citizens of this country not focusing on the real problems and taking responsibility for this country.Obama is an arm of corporate America and for the rich. Look at how well the stock market and the highest earners have done since he took office. Look at everyone else. Anyone who thinks Obama is anti-business can't read the NYSE ticker or pick up a WSJ and read it. The Dow is up 9.5% YTD and companies are making money hand over fist. Companies aren't spending money because there is nobody buying anything because our country is basically in bankruptcy as a result of our behavior over the past 40+ years. Obama has only been president for less than one term. He didn't cause these problems. Rush Limbaugh Republicans want to believe he is anti-business, but as a point of fact, it is the other way around. Rush Limbaugh Republicans are angry in a way I am not interested in being.As far as gay unions, abortions and any other issue that is really secondary to the problems facing America, I could care less where he stands. We have almost 10% unemployment and anyone who is worried about social issues right now doesn't understand the real problems facing America. We are a country of fools.

It's only logical to think that if you are certain they won't be punished as bas as people think, then you must know how bad they are going to be punished. I'd just like to know what you know. I don't believe any of the death penality stuff, but it's going to be bad. Already lost the #1 player in Ohio to Michigan and the punishment has not been handed out yet. Interesting days ahead.

Is it really shocking this would happen to a professional athlete?

Please give us your prediction on how bad you think they will be punished. That way, if you are wrong, we can all laugh at you.

I don't care if he is "classy" as Freddy Blassie or not. I do care about how he plays football though. There are very, very, very few teams who wouldn't have him on their team.

I'm living evidence that with diet, exercise and saying your prayers, a miraculous comeback can be made after a twisted ankle. I once twisted my ankle getting off of a barstool at the Townhouse. Through prayer, exercise, the loving support of family/friends and a lot of good luck, I was right back on the barstool by the next Friday. Through the grace of God it can be done. Get well soon Blake. We'll be praying for you.

Good thought process here.The taller, longer and more athletic guy can't get his steals without a guy like AA. "A Bad Decision" is Chapter 2 in the turnover story. "Applying Pressure" is Chapter 1. When there is no pressure, decisions are easy. Apply some pressure and they are much more difficult....I don't care what sport it is.I'd take bring the ball up the court against a pesky little guy over a long-armed, athletic guy any day of the week. As a guard, passing the ball against a guy with a 6' 9" wingspan sucks.I see your point, but it is the MAC and guards are dying to make a bad decision each time they touch the ball. MAC games are more often than not lost and not won. Good pressure, maybe not great pressure, can be enough to throw them off. If the Zips are going to turn up the heat and score more points, there is nothing more fun to watch than a tall guy getting a steal and an exciting dunk at the other end. Michael Jordan was great at this and Bulls fans had a ton of fun watching him play.Either way is fine with me. I like the idea of KD turning up the heat and the possibility of making the games more exciting. This style of play will bring more people to the games if the Zips continue to win. Everyday fans want to see scoring and dunks. Too many MAC games involve a guard dribbling down...picking up his dribble...fake right...fake left...throw the ball out of bounds or a deflection out of bounds . I said last year the Zips have become "interesting" in thread I started asking for a one word description of the season. This style of basketball will make them even more interesting.

Good point. I've noticed watching college basketball that the full court pressing has given way to good man to man defense with well placed spacing of defenders not on the ball. I can't even remember the last time I saw a team play a full court press even when they are behind late in a game. This generates a lot of turnovers. If the Zips can develop a good open court thief, a lot of points can be scored. Q needs to be that guy as that guy is normally tall with abnormally long arms and very athletic.

I voted other. The player I want to see on the field next year is Brett Biggs Version 2.0. I don't care how big the guy is, how fast he runs or how high he can jump. I want to see who the next guy focused on winning is AND produces winning results. It could be anyone and fans are frequently surprised by the person when he reveals himself. I'd be happy to be surprised.

Great memory!!! Not only did he make that bomb, the the Zips didn't have much time to move into the position to kick the FG. Maybe someone can help me, but I remember Toledo scoring with around a minute to go. FG or TD and extra point I can't remember. I think it was a TD and extra point and they were going for the tie on the road. I was watching the game from the endzone. As soon as he kicked the ball, the guy I was watching the game with said, "It's good!". One of the best clutch kicks I've ever seen.7-3-1. WOW! In eleven games. I can't believe I'm about to type this, but those were the days. Who would have thunk? Two years later, the program was in free fall. Seven wins now would be a blessing.

Beating those turds from Portage County on Thanksgiving to go to the MAC Championship Game.Second would be the tailgating. If you could let yourself accept if for what it was, it was a great place to have fun. There was beer, food, passing football...the airdock was right there....And if you were lucky, you would get to watch a training pilot crash a plane. Nobody ever died on the runway, but a lot of wobbly flights landed.

There COULD be some interesting parallels between NCSt and tosu. What was suspected going into the ncs game was Chuck A. was on his last leg and the team had given up AND was in disarrray. That COULD be the case with osu this season, but there is still a lot we don't know.Akron had a much better team back then than they do right now. They just came off of the MAC Championship and had a lot of confidence. They also gave a respectable showing the week before at Penn State. We had a QB on a roll with a future NFL WR (who later decided a career in manual labor was more important than college). The also had a future NFL O-lineman on the team. Like Bill Cowher always said, "The most dangerous team is a team with confidence and momentum." We had both that week. It was awesome. Little did we know CMU would take every last bit of it away from us the following week, on one play right before half. We beat a bad NTSU team the following week, then the wheels seem to fall off. This current Zips team certainly doesn't have any momentum (Buffalo?) or probably much confidence. If the confidence and momentum were there, I'd hope for NC State. Given the current circumstances, I won't.

Seven starters were lost for the season that day.That was back when we were still fielding a lot of 1-AA players. We've played scores of Top 10 teams in the 2 decades since that game without any notable injuries.We're fine with conditioning, durability and size vs. Top 10 opponents. We just lack the speed, athleticism, depth and...about everything else.Agreed. I was just pointing out an unusual fact. The plane should have had a red cross and the words M*A*S*H painted on it.

This attitude stinks IMO. I hope the team proves you wrong.He would have been much better off saying he didn't want the QB to get hurt in a meaningless game, which the vast majority of BCS vs non-BCS games are (with the exception of the pile of cash that lands in the non-BCS teams' banks).When is the last time an Akron QB got hurt against a BCS team? Play to win.That's not the point I'm making. My point was about college football in general. The risk of injury takes place in every game. If a player gets hurt, I want it to be in a meaningful game, not one designed to line the pockets of some BCS school while pimping out a non-BCS school.
