GP1

Silly me. I thought the purpose of athletic programs was to benefit the athletes, students, alumni, fans and greater communities around the schools. If I would have know TV money was the driving force, I would have advocated for Tuesday night games all season long as the benefit of the money would outweigh the costs of the empty stadiums and endless losing. I guess I have been wrong all along.

Why?

Nothing like having to read about....well....let's call it "The Marshall Double Cross" every few years. We (by "We" I mean someone other than me) should start a poll guessing the over/under on the years until their next conference move. We could coin ODU and Southern Mississippi "The Desperate Duo". Someone has to explain to me the importance of the Hattiesburg television market because I must have missed something. Heck, Jackson State has become a more important team in central MS than South Miss. Schools like these three are just filler for desperate conference leaders who are looking to pad their resume and move on to the next opportunity. I know how interesting these conference moves may seem, but when you look at them closely, almost every team moving is acting out of desperation. That's never a good place to be. I'll stick with the MAC.

This makes me sad. The guy was the gift that keeps on giving as it relates to stupidity.

Because of this news, I've had to explain Hudson to people in the south more than I ever thought I would. They have no idea it's one of the wealthiest communities in the state and assumed it was some small town in the country.

Thanks for taking time from the Hudson Community Ice Fishing League to attend the games and post.

Support Hudson's.

I would think they would. Every time I watch a college sports event, there are more athletic department interns and low level staff running around with GoPro's than coaches.

I'd pay $2,000 to watch a Zip take a 💩 at center court in Kent after a win, on national TV.

Thanks Gramps. Give yourself a treat and sleep in until 6 AM tomorrow.

Excellent post. If the players, students, alumni, fans and greater community are not part of the rivalry, it's a pathetic rivalry. Again, Akron hates Kent. Kent hates Akron. I envy those of you who were able to attend the game tonight and be part of this great rivalry. Instead of telling Kent players to stay classy, I'd love to tell those dimwits, "See you pu$$y-a$$ beatches in Cleveland in a few weeks." While flipping the bird. The 1950s are over.

https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/rick-pitino-flips-off-uk-fan-on-the-way-to-locker-room/ I could post 20 articles where this happened.

I love it. This is the stuff of great rivalries. Ever notice nobody ever says, "That was a great handshake line after the game. Very straight and nobody showed any emotion." Akron vs Kent is a great regional rivalry. Let the trash talk happen. Great game. Zips fell short. Do better next time.

Is there anyone from Hudson on this board who could provide some guidance?

Is there a "Companionship Waiver"?

Recent events have caused me to schedule a last minute trip to Ohio. Does anyone know where I can buy an expedited fishing license in Hudson?

Good for him. He's a good guy. I have no animosity towards him.

Good. Of you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. The quality of education at UofA dwarfs CSU, KSU and YSU. Hopefully this moronic talk of mergers ends before someone does something really stupid.

I always thought he left because his talentless soccer playing son couldn't get on the field for the Zips nationally recognized soccer program. It couldn't be because Duquesne was greener pastures because it is a joke of a program. He literally did take his problem with him.

I don't. He's a grown man who has an extremely high paying job to coach basketball and win games and is losing. He has been given a brand new arena to recruit around and has done nothing with it. He should be fired at the end of the season. He is their Rob Ianello. Maybe the Riverhounds are hiring. He could get some money from LBJ to support the team.

So am I. In fact, I find the idea laughable. In addition to being too old for the job, he has zero experience in running an athletic department staff, hiring head coaches, marketing or anything else that might make him at least moderately competent at the job. He would be the laziest leadership move the University made since placing John Green in the President's seat. The decay of the athletic department would make the decay of Rolling Acres Mall photos on the internet look like a remodeling job.

If any of this is true, KD isn't as smart as I thought he was.

Dear Luke, When you are looking for a great place for Italian food, go to this place. Link In fact, take you whole family and reserve the back room. The menu used to be much larger, but I'm guessing this place is like a lot of restaurants that are cutting back on some menu items during Covid. Good luck, The Great GP1

Tough assignment with a horrible franchise. They have nowhere to go but up, but will they be able to turn things around fast enough as impatient as franchises are now.?.? I hope it works out for him.
