ESPN+ God, I hate streaming.

I think Joe Akron doesn't know what to think because he doesn't really follow the team closely enough. If Joe Akron is treated to an exciting game with maybe a last second win for the Zips, he might come to another game. I don't think most MAC fans care about this game, but they should. How the league plays against like opponents is important.

I know. I'm looking forward to tomorrow while at the same time having great evening in Buckhead.

I win.

The wife of a guy I work with graduated from UW in the mid 80s and was a cheerleader. She still looks good even though she's lived in the greater Phoenix area since then and has a ton of freckles on her cleavage like aging Arizona women get. In any event, she goes back every year for homecoming and still loves it.

I can't believe I have to continue to bore myself with this but here we are. The wealth of a society has to do with income gained from production and that income turning into purchasing of goods and services. There is no GDP if people aren't earning and spending money. The more money someone makes, the more they can buy. The more money someone makes, the less time they have to work in order to buy the things they need. Prosperous societies make and spend more than others. Prosperous societies also have workforce efficiencies that allow those who have bought all they want to relax, or it gives more time for those who want to make more to do that. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/data-reveal-that-the-average-working-american-is-better-off-today-than-in-the-1950s-and-wage-stagnation-is-a-myth/ Today is the greatest day in American history. Tomorrow will be better today.

Preseason 2025 Projected Depth Chart and Thoughts
GP1 replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
The first thought that popped in my mind was, I wonder if she has injury insurance that covers the loss of business revenue. -

The lady who kicks bowls onto her head while riding a unicycle is always popular. An act for all seasons. Bring her in for a game. -
Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming
GP1 replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
I see they are doing a kind of fan fest event with food trucks, etc. I hope they get a big paying turnout so I don't have to come on here and say they should have given away 15,000 free tickets. -
If the students are high quality, I'm all for it. Steady, sustained growth. I knew a guy who owned a business and always said, "You can just as easily die of indigestion as you can of starvation.".

While I would normally agree 💯, but we are trying to help someone who will be spending less than 24 hours in NE Ohio. The ride back to DC could be extended a couple of hours with all of the bathroom stops after a trip to Swenson's.

Welcome aboard.

Luigi's is a good recommendation for an out of towner. Historic Akron pizza parlor. It's open late if you want a snack after the game. In addition to a pizza, get a salad with cheese on it. They only take cash but have an ATM there. If you want to stay in Akron, there is a Courtyard 50 yards away. I stay there when I go back to Akron and it's nice. There is a speakeasy attached. There is also a restaurant next door and if I remember the food is good. The neighborhood can be cool. Nothing is more than 50 yards away.

Embassy Suites tells me North Canton. If you have time, the NFL Hall of Fame is close. I guess my expertise in eating and drinking won't help. Enjoy the game.

Where are you staying? How long will you be staying?

Minor league professional sports leagues should be required to play all of their games in conference.

Looks great. I hope this nice looking job can help to put a better light on the University and attract more high quality students.

I'm not standing on a moral high horse. Morality has never been my strong suit. "Being right is the boobie prize." A contractor once told me this. Fighting and winning this case in 2027 would get us nothing and be little more than a distraction. I really don't give a crap what guys are Tweeting. In fact, the transfer portal has given me the go-ahead to not give a crap about them since their loyalty is about an inch deep. I'd rather they put their efforts towards getting ready for the season. After all, they are professionals now. I think winning against Wyoming would give this team more of a jolt in 2025 than winning a lawsuit against the NCAA in 2027.

The ABJ wouldn't give Akron a bad look in this case. Akron would be giving itself a bad look.

I don't think fighting the post season ban is a fight worth having. Akron didn't live up to Akron's obligations as a member of the NCAA. Akron is getting punished for Akron's actions. Accepting punishment for wrongdoing is the adult thing to do. Another adult thing to do would be to learn from this lesson and get better, not call a lawyer. We're four months away from bowl season. The best we could hope for is to get a temporary injunction until the case could go to trial in 2026. Do you have any idea how full Federal Court dockets are? How long do you want this drama to go on until we ultimately lose a case? What if Akron loses the case and next year at this time we are having the same conversation? How is anyone being helped carrying on with this case? Adult conversation over.... Meetings over.

I'd be difficult to prove damages when making a bowl game would cost the school more than it would make.

Why would we pay for a law firm to fight for a result that would cost us money?

I wouldn't keep him from leaving.

This is really a shady thing for this coach and ODU to do. If an employee doesn't want to be around, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

Imagine the money they have flushed down the toilet maintaining this albatross over the past couple of decades. I say good riddance. I've never understood why so many were so emotionally tied to this old factory.
