akzipper Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Keep Tressel employed at UA for the next few years until his coaching suspension is lifted. Then hire him as the head coach. By then two things could happen 1) we suffer through more 1-win seasons and Bowden gets replaced 2) Less likely scenario, we improve as a program and Bowden moves on to a better gig. Either way I don't think Terry will be around for more than 4 years. Which I believe is the duration of Tressel's suspension? Winning coaches move on, losing coaches get let go. Quote

I don't get how anyone who spends time around campus could be upset about what Tressel has done. Sure the new arena isn't a reality yet, but my God, it's barely been a year since he took the job. He's been a great face for the U, and he's certainly done some positive things for it. Regarding the arena however...We make a sweet 16 run, coupled with this winning streak, and we have a very good chance of opening some eyes and wallets. Just WIN WIN WIN! Quote

GP1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Mr. Tressel is performing well in his current UA assignments, and that it would not be surprising to see him rise in the executive ranks. I'll bite....What is he doing well? Quote
OZoner Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 You aren't seriously trying to compare DeKalb to Athens? A city 60 miles from Chicago sitting right on a major interstate vs a hick town in the middle of nowhere? (facepalm) You completely missed my point. Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 I'll bite....What is he doing well? His job. Quote
GP1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 His job. How much money has he brought in? Quote
Ham Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 You have to be the most damn pessimistic person in the world. PLUS ?! And I wish the Mods would make that offensive quote at the bottom of his posts disapear. Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 How much money has he brought in? Please go back and read my post a little more carefully. It states exactly what I'm comfortable saying and explains exactly why. It would be inappropriate for me to expand on what I've already said. Quote

Zips22 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Doesn't it seem like now would be the prime time to be able to attract funding for a new arena? Quote
LZIp Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Doesn't it seem like now would be the prime time to be able to attract funding for a new arena? Im sure people are working on it. Quote
akronad Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 New arena will not be going here. http://www.ohio.com/news/break-news/mayflo...h-rise-1.376662 Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 New arena will not be going here. http://www.ohio.com/news/break-news/mayflo...h-rise-1.376662 I'm fine with that. The Mayflower, if it can be rehabbed into a nice downtown apartment building focused on UA students and younger professionals, would be the best thing to happen to downtown since they moved the bus station away.

Just saying... Quote

Agreed. Surprised that a low-income residence building was located downtown. Quote
Spin Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Doesn't it seem like now would be the prime time to be able to attract funding for a new arena? Absolutely, this is the PERFECT time to get it started. I can't think of any better time to show that we need more capacity, and a modern facility than right now. Those against the new arena, are you proud of the nation having it's only impression of the U by what they see inside the JAR? Quote
Spin Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Agreed. Surprised that a low-income residence building was located downtown. If you look at what downtown Akron looked like after the industry left and before CP was built, it would make sense. There was once at least two porno theaters downtown, two other glamorous hotels in that area were converted to low income housing (Hotel Howe and Hotel Anthony Wayne). The rest was empty storefronts and businesses that catered to the low income. You wouldn't recognize the place. I picture a suitable arena built on campus and butting the rest of the city, and rejuvenating East Exchange in the same way Canal Park did downtown. Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 This is why UA is looking at all the options for a new arena, they are broke! UA pledges to close projected budget gap University of Akron officials said Tuesday they will take actions in coming months to try to close a $26.7 million budget gap projected for 2014. Quote
LZIp Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 This is why UA is looking at all the options for a new arena, they are broke! UA pledges to close projected budget gap Interesting. I thought UA's credit rating was just upgraded somewhat recently. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Interesting. I thought UA's credit rating was just upgraded somewhat recently. Now if the Speaker Boehner just had that attitude! Quote
