Bullshit.. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/jim-tressel-not-interested-in-coaching-job-at-university-of-akron-1.248012 Tressel holds a graduate degree from UA, but he will not be a candidate to replace Rob Ianello, who was fired Saturday night after two seasons that produced identical 1-11 records. “While Coach Tressel has shared with us that he is not interested in coaching at Akron, he has graciously volunteered to help his alma mater however he can during the search for our next football coach,” Director of Athletics Tom Wistrcill said in a statement released late Tuesday night. Radio and Internet sources said Tressel, a former coach at Ohio State and Youngstown State, was on campus Tuesday. Many of those same reports said Tressel was at Rhodes Arena on Saturday night for the basketball game between the Zips and the University of Detroit. Several university officials who attended the game said Tressel was never there. “He is going to draw a crowd anywhere he goes and nothing like that happened,” said an official who did not want to be named. Rhodes Arena has approximately 5,500 seats and none offer any privacy, so Tressel would have been easy to spot. Those same officials said that Tressel definitely was not on campus on Tuesday. At the news conference to announce the firing of Ianello on Saturday night, the media was told that Wistrcill would not field any questions about candidates until the hiring process was complete. He issued the Tuesday statement in response to the rumors that had taken on a life of their own. Tressel, 58, was an assistant coach with the Zips from 1975 to 1978 under former Zips coach Jim Dennison, and received a master’s degree in education from UA. He coached at YSU from 1986 to 2000 and at Ohio State from 2001 to 2010. Tressel resigned his position at Ohio State on May 30 after failing to report NCAA violations by his players. The Zips have instituted a national search to replace Ianello. No timetable has been set to name his successor. Tom Gaffney can be reached at tgaffney@thebeaconjournal.com.

well i heard the same thing about Urban Meyer, well we know how that turned out.. to hoping..

Who knows.. Probably a petty penny..

welcome from down the road.. I ride the valley quite a bit in the summer. I'm sure we have ran into each other at some point in time.

NEVER would i let anyone record that!! WTF are they doing? hahahaha

hopefully it happens while im still there. I'd go to a game then.

really?! http://www.lostlettermen.com/report-jim-tressel-to-meet-with-akron Get your sweater vests ready. Former Ohio State head coach and current Indianapolis Colts replay assistant JimTressel will meet with Akron about its head coaching vacancy, according to the Lake County Sentinel. “Jim Tressel, confirmed by a source at the University of Akron was at the men’s basketball game against Detroit last Saturday night,” Justin Lada wrote. “The same source says that officials from the University will be meeting with Tressel on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.” Tressel, 58, was an assistant for the Zips from 1975-78 after graduating from Baldwin-Wallace a year earlier and it would certainly be close to home for the Cleveland native who coached at nearby Youngstown State (1986-2000) and Ohio State (2001-10) before he resigned on Memorial Day over his role in covering up “Tattoogate” in Columbus. Tressel, who won four FCS national titles with the Penguins and one BCS crown with the Buckeyes, would be insanely overqualified for the position, as the Zips won just two games in the last two seasons combined under ex-head coach Rob Ianello. But Tressel hasn’t been mentioned for many openings because the NCAA could hit him with a “show cause” penalty in which a school must go before the association before hiring the Sweater Vest. Michigan fans beware: Akron is scheduled to play in Ann Arbor in 2013, in which Tressel could bring his 9-1 record against the Wolverines into the Big House. Might Tressel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDOXwSwvwO8 upon being hired by the Zips? OK, we are getting ahead of ourselves. But if we are Akron AD Tom Wistrcill, this move is a no-brainer and we’d be on our hands and knees to bring Tressel north from Columbus.

Idk. It looks like a lot of shading, no solid lines. To be quite honest it probably was easy to fall asleep. I'm sure your back piece, like mine, has a lot more solid lines which hurt but they take a lot more time then shading does. I still think she deserved it.

Absolutely.. The buzz around campus is crazy though so it should make for an interesting day.. Plus people are on edge because of finals week coming up.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/16187066/lebron-set-to-lead-nba-stars-for-fourgame-charity-tour I'm over him but I'd like to see anything that will go down at the U of A. Thoughts? LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are going home -- and bringing friends with them. With no end to the NBA lockout in sight, the All-Star group is set to lead a four-game "Homecoming Tour," starting with a matchup in James' hometown of Akron, Ohio on Dec. 1, followed by a Dec. 4 game in New Orleans, a Dec. 7 game in Chicago and culminating with a Dec. 10 contest in East Rutherford, New Jersey. James, Paul, Wade and Anthony are committed to play in all four games. Proceeds from the tour -- which will include events such as food drives, educational outreach programs and clinics in each city -- will benefit the four headlining players' charitable foundations, and tour sponsor Google Plus will stream each game live. "It'll be very neat," Wade told the Associated Press. "First of all, this is something we talked about doing a long time ago as players. To have an opportunity to go to these different cities that we're from, to bring basketball to them at a high level and also have a charitable component in each city and to be with the guys, it'll be cool. It's something we're looking forward to." Tickets for the first three games go on sale Tuesday. Tickets for the East Rutherford game will be on sale Wednesday. The rosters for the four games will likely change considerably in each city. James will play a significant role in organizing the Akron game, as will Paul in New Orleans, Wade in Chicago and Anthony at East Rutherford. Chris Bosh -- who, along with James and Wade, makes up the so-called Big 3 with the Miami Heat, is expected to play in all four games. Bosh, along with James, Wade, the New Orleans guard Paul, the New York Knicks' forward Anthony, Heat forward Udonis Haslem and others have been part of a rigorous training camp in Oregon for players represented by Creative Artists Agency since late last week. "I'm sore," Wade said. "But that's why we set it up this way. We want to get into work mode. When we get into the tour, we want to play. We want to be equipped to do that. We don't want to just run up and down the court and jack up shots. We want to get into the things we need to do when it comes to strength, defense, all those things you usually do in training camp. So we're getting into that mindset." There's been no shortage of exhibitions featuring NBA players during the lockout, which is now in its 21st week and has already led to the cancellation of more than 300 games - roughly one-quarter of a full season. Talks broke off last week after players declined an offer that the NBA said would have raised salaries considerably, which apparently wasn't enough to convince player reps that it was the right deal. The principals involved in this say the tour will be different from most offseason exhibitions in many ways, notably the extensive charitable aspects. "I am so excited to have this opportunity to participate in this tour," Anthony said in a press release. "To couple two of the things I love to do - play basketball and give back - is special. This is just the beginning of a movement to facilitate change in our communities and I am happy to be a part of a group of guys willing to lead the charge." Events begin Nov. 29 in New York with a court dedication and food drive, before the group moves to Akron for events the following day that include a Wheels for Education program -- something James is extensively involved with in an effort to help keep kids from dropping out of high school - and a basketball clinic at the Boys & Girls Club bearing the two-time NBA MVP's name. "I am really proud of the work we're doing in Akron and know what this tour means for the community," James said. Paul will host an education-themed event and a clinic in New Orleans on Dec. 2, in advance of the game there two nights later. Wade hosts two events for charity in Chicago on Dec. 6, and another clinic is planned for New York on Dec. 9. "Being able to play the game I love alongside my friends ... as well as raising money for charity is a win-win situation," Paul said. Wade said another element he's looking forward to is simply being around NBA players on a full-time basis again, if only for a couple of weeks. While he remains hopeful that much of the season can be saved, he's also not necessarily optimistic that he'll be back in a Heat uniform again and trying for another NBA finals trip anytime soon. "We're approaching it as basketball," Wade said. "We're not doing it so people don't forget our names. We're really doing this to continue to make an impact in the communities that we go to and also to show that we love this game, we're going to continue to play it and that this is something we all decided to do together. So that's what makes this special."
