IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, there might be one who doesn't like Grady and goes with me, but pretty much - what Grady wants, Grady gets. So what can I do in this competition when talking to the girls?

For you to get the girls that don't want Grady, I suggest you meet Anthony Robbins and have a nice conversation with him.

the lizard is cool but i'm leaning towards panini's. a beer stained college bar full of loud drunk zip fans and hopefully drunker coeds is just what i need for spirit. call me the godfather but i wanna go old school and hang with the drunks and maybe go streaking in the quad (if we had one) after we shock the world.

If you can get girls, you can't get them on the grand scale that Sizmore can. It's like comparing OSU to TRI-C, or one of those other small community colleges. Akron isn't small, it's a D1 school. Your comment was ignorant. And it still doesn't explain how Akron and OSU don't compete. Your analogy has nothing to do with OSU and Akron not competing because it's about the competition of girl supremacy. Not the best looking girls choose OSU nor the brightest. If you were going for law, you'd be stupid to go to OSU over Akron. If you were a poloymer student, you'd have Akron on the top of your list. Your analogy is dumb and a horrible attempt to prove your point. State facts, not some dumb analogy that doesn't even compare.Panini's sounds like a good idea. $1 drafts means I'll probably spend around $15 on beer. Who's bringing the beer bong???

We have a "north quad" according to housing maps. It is basically Spicer street.

Wow bobby. Ramble much? lol. How you brought academics between the two schools into the argument, I do not know. Nobody said a thing about academics. You don't do well with analogies...sooo alright, I'm going to try to respond to that as best that I can. Let's first compare Akron and OSU:NATIONAL TITLESOhio State: 6Akron: 0CONFERENCE TITLESOhio State: 29Akron: 1ALL-TIME RECORDOhio State: 765-298-53Akron: 461-436-36 BOWL WINSOhio State: 17Akron: 0RECORD THE PAST 5 SEASONSOhio State: 50-13Akron: 28-30Enough stats. Am I trying to bash Akron? Of course not. Akron is my school and my favorite college team. What I'm trying to point out is this...Akron isn't even close to being the established program that Ohio State is. They need to win more...win more conference titles...win some bowl games...get ranked. I wish it was different, but Akron simply is not in the same league as OSU at this point in time, and won't be for a long, long time. As for the competition between the schools, sure, they compete...technically. They might go after the same recruits, same media coverage, etc....but let's face reality. OSU is going to get those better recruits. OSU is going to get the media coverage. OSU is going to get whatever they want 99 times out of 100. Akron's job (along with the other mid-major schools) is to try to steal a top recruit here and there, find the best of the remaining prospects, and coach these players to maximize their potential. Again...I wish it was different, but that's the reality of the situation. You can start anti-OSU motions. You can bash their team. You can bash their fans. You can do whatever...all that's going to do is make you look silly and jealous. The teams simply aren't in the same league right now. Akron could go undefeated and wouldn't sniff the National Title game. They are just not that established yet. The good news? I believe they're on their way. Last year was a struggle at times, but they showed a lot of heart, especially towards the end of the year, and made what once seemed like a dismal season into a memorable one. Recruiting classes are getting better and better. We have a great coach who gets the most out of his players. The future is bright, and we should all be thrilled about that. So if you want to make it a competition with OSU, be my guest. If you think the programs are really that close, thats cool...that's your opinion. But instead of looking silly and uneducated by continually bashing OSU and their fans, why not just be proud of the team you have and enjoy their ride to higher places in college football.

You only gave football stats? I'm confused now. Go back and read all of my posts. You'll see that I was talking about both schools all together, not just the football programs. Did you see the article that says Akron has the biggest increase in incoming freshman, I'm sure OSU knows, they don't want to see another school besides themselves grow in Ohio. You know that. This whole time I've been talking about how both schools compete on a broader scale and all you've done is given me football stats.I started a post that addresses the issue we're faced with on Saturday, which you can't deny is true. The post was started as an idea of how we can overcome that issue by getting together and putting OSU on the small screen. It seemed like that idea bothered you. Would you rather see OSU on the big screen or something?? Does that upset you if a bunch of Akron people get together to get the game on the big screen so that OSU fans have to watch it on a small screen?? I'll bash OSU just like if you bash Michigan. On Saturday at 3:30, i hope the OSU game is on a side tv so that I can root for Northern Illinios. It's not jealousy, it's competition. I'm trying to belittle OSU which a lot of people don't expect. It's time to open everyones eyes to the University of Akron. There is another school besides OSU to root for and that's what I want people to know. You don't have to like OSU because you live in Ohio.

Alright...lemme try to respond to this..."Did you see the article that says Akron has the biggest increase in incoming freshman, I'm sure OSU knows, they don't want to see another school besides themselves grow in Ohio. You know that."Ohio State's enrollment is about 57,800. Akron's enrollment is what, 22,000? For some reason I don't think they're too worried..."This whole time I've been talking about how both schools compete on a broader scale and all you've done is given me football stats."OK, this was your original statement..."WE can show these locals that AKron is a team people actually root for and maybe get that crap of a team osu off the big screen so those panzies have to watch AKron."To me, you are talking about football there. You randomly brought up academics once..."I started a post that addresses the issue we're faced with on Saturday, which you can't deny is true. The post was started as an idea of how we can overcome that issue by getting together and putting OSU on the small screen."So wait...is the issue adademics? Or football? Or who is on the bigger TV? Do you even know at this point? "It seemed like that idea bothered you. Would you rather see OSU on the big screen or something??"Nope...My buddy is having a bunch of people over to watch the Akron game. At some points, mostly during commercials, we'll probably flip to the OSU game. Your idea doesn't bother me at all. You can go and have your Big TV, Small TV revolution...I'm truly excited for you...I'm guessing CNN will probably be interviewed you about it by Halftime. And don't even let them picture and picture the other game! Then some people might enroll at OSU instead of Akron! Yeah, but like I said...it doesn't bother me. It will bother me, however, if my friend doesn't get enough snacks...that's always annoying. "Does that upset you if a bunch of Akron people get together to get the game on the big screen so that OSU fans have to watch it on a small screen??"Most of the OSU fans will watch it the game in person, or at a tailgate near the campus. Or they'll watch it at home...or at a friends...or at a bar. Unless your Big TV, Small TV revolution realllllly catches fire and gets to ALL of the bars. But even so, they might just stay anyways. Maybe they'll pull their chairs forward a little bit or something. "I'll bash OSU just like if you bash Michigan."Alrighty...sounds good. A few questions though...are we in competition with Michigan too? What size TV can their game be on? "On Saturday at 3:30, i hope the OSU game is on a side tv so that I can root for Northern Illinios."Go Northern Illinois (on the small TV!!!!!!!)"It's not jealousy, it's competition."You're obviously winning that competition too... "I'm trying to belittle OSU which a lot of people don't expect."So your don't think they respect us...and your way of getting them to respect us is by belittling them? Good plan..."It's time to open everyones eyes to the University of Akron. There is another school besides OSU to root for and that's what I want people to know."I think people already do know. I mean, we are going to be on the big TV!!!"You don't have to like OSU because you live in Ohio."Absolutely right. It's funny...I haven't heard a single person who likes OSU here try to tell anyone who they should or shouldn't like. Only OSU-haters like you are doing that. But hey...BIG TV, SMALL TV REVOLUTION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobbyake]

BIG TV, SMALL TV REVOLUTION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't understand the point, it's about being treated like second class in the city of Akron if you go to a bar to root for the Zips. I'm willing to bet you $20 that OSU will be on the speakers at Johnny Maloys on Saturday. And I wasn't refering to just academics, I was referring to the school all together. Academics, athletics, etc. You have been wrong in every post and say a bunch of crap because you don't want to admit to the fact that OSU hinders Akron's growth. Get off their nuts.

Alright bobby. I'm just going to end this debate. Here's what every one of your posts contains:1) I just don't get it2) Something about the size of TV's3) Some gibberish4) Some comments about me wanting to go to OSU5) Some more gibberishSo have fun Saturday...I know we're both hoping for a Zips victory, so that's good. I just hope you get it on the big TV...otherwise I have a feeling I might see you on the 6 o clock news
