tpsjugglerdude Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Since the beginning of the semester he has been on campus at least twice each week. It seemed like the first week he was there every day. The current joke is that since the NBA is in lockout maybe LBJ finally decided to take classes.

Idon'thinkso Good point. As much as I try to avoid the old name, and encourage others to do the same, it is a lot easier to say.Maybe we'll someday reach the point where people just say AKRON. Places like ALABAMA can do it. They don't have to worry about whether people are saying Alabama U. or The Univ. of Alabama. That would be nice.

I grew up calling the U "Akron U" and, of course meant nothing negative by it. It was a pet name - I and all my friends liked UA & we all just called it Akron U w/out thinking anything of it. Now, of course, I just say Akron, but someone calling UA, Akron U doesn't offend me. For perspective, I'm 38.Coach KD still calls us Akron U, for crying out loud.
