zipper Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Here is today's EA article on Dambrot: http://www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindeale...24549263820.xml You know, he KNOWS the truth about that racial epithet thing but just can't bring himself to print it. He makes it look as bad as he can. But...looks to me like he thinks we might have a winner and he doesn't want to get stuck standing on the sidelines.

My respect for Ellen drops with every column she scribes. I guess we'll have to wait until our new coaches/teams start winning some games before she changes her tune.

Zipster Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I've about had enough of Elton already! Will he continue put his little jabs in parenthesis all next season? i.e. Ashland University (under ncaa investigation under Dambrot)....Central Michigan University (fired for usung a racial slur). Every article he ever writes with Dambrot in it has his little jabs. I think people know Dambrot's history already and have got to be so darn sick of hearing it! I know I am. Just get over it, forget about it and let's kick butt next season!!! Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaZip Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Slightly different twist - same conclusion. EA's article (out of thin air we are suppose to believe since NO ONE is writing about MAC basketball) is a response to the legitiimate concerns brought to the attention of the PD ( at the encouragement of the Zip Nation, among others,) after EA's previous discraceful hatchet job on KD. Appears to be an attempt to respond to the concerns of his editor, while at the same time trying to retain a semblance of cojones. As naive as this may sound, I would be surprised and disappointed if he alludes to the incident again anytime soon, but hell it wouldn't be the first time I was naive, surprised and disapointed. One thing is obvious, EA is a fequent guest of the board because this most recent article is little more than am amalgam of plagiarized post from this board leading up to the REASSIGNMENT of DH and the hiring of KD. THE PEN IS NOT MIGHTIER THAN THE BOARD.

JP Morgan Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 "The hiring of Keith Dambrot indicates that the University of Akron will stick with what has been successful in Mid-American Conference men's basketball. From Stan Joplin at Toledo to Dan Dakich at Bowling Green, to Charlie Coles at Miami, to Jay Smith at Central Michigan to Gary Waters, Stan Heath and Jim Christian at Can't State to Steve Hawkins at Western Michigan, all played, coached or spent their careers within the realm of the MAC. And all have had success. All have won MAC division titles. Five have advanced to the NCAA Tournament." Yeah I'm sure thats what they were thinking when they hired him..?..what a friggin idiot! You know who else fell in the above category of those who are lifelong MAC guys???????? Hipsher!!!!!! Note to Ellen........get off your ass, pick up the phone, talk to the UA people and ask them why they hired him. How about interviewing MT? How about interviewing JD, or even..............Dambot himself!!!! It's called gettting "the scoup straight from the horses mouth!" This "editorial" crap we get in the Beacon and the Dealer is useless. Couple quotes here, blah blah blah there, Zips have blah blah blah coming back next year......its all fluff. I'd like to see a transcript of an interview of MT, JD, Dambrot, etc published in the paper. Thats what you see in the dispatch with OSU coaches. I don't care what Ellen, Tammy, Stephanie, or David Lee think! This is just crap and that why they have no credibility. Oh and by the way, it won't get better even if we do win. Look at the success that Can't has had and they get almost as little ink as Akron and the quality is just as bad. It won't change until the mindless numbnut editors over there fire the whole friggin sports staff and start clean. I want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
