Roo Fans make me laugh.

Keith Dambrot has (easily) the DIRTIEST record of any coach in the MAC…
(this year or ANY year).

Programs reflect the personality (and character) of the Coach.

Can you spell L-O-S-E-R ???!!!

Hint to Akron – lose the metallic gold glitter.. trying to emulate Notre Dame brings back images of GERRY FAUST (speaking of LOSERS).

Go Flashes !!!

i met frank after his arrest at the kent rec center and i am a big akron fan but frank is one of the most dedicated people you will ever meet. even before he came to kent he worked with charities and did a ton of volunteer work. he is also part of a fundraising group who raised over $50 million dollars for kids in Africa. the money built them basketball courts and recreational centers. which helps keep the kids involved with sports and not violence or worse. he was his high school salutitorian and upheld those grades into college. this young man has accomplished more in his 21 years of life than yours entirely ROO TOWN. And Tyree Evans is completely changed person. he has done nothing wrong to anyone for a very long time. as for the past. you were young once. thou shalt not judge. espescially in complete ignorance. don't believe everything you read sir…..!

Simpson/Evans held out of scrimmage. David Carducci reports it's due to clearinghouse issues. Of course. It couldn't be anything related to the odor coming from Simpson's car and the cloud of smoke out Evans window just before practice. Ask Geno since he was first on the scene.

What stupidity. First, if you think we recruit criminals you show your jealousy through your ignorance. Second, Laing Kennedy sits on the NCAA tournament selection committee and a couple of years ago won an award for AD excellence with the TX and FLA AD's. He is VERY well respected nationally and has made our program the standard of excellence in the MAC. Lastly, if you were truly concerned for the MAC as a conference when you were not playing KSU or needing a KSU loss for your own benefit, you would be cheering for us to represent the MAC win wins and by making noise. A true ambassador for the MAC would do that. F the ROO !

It does make you wonder, would Gary Waters bring in a roster like the current KSU squad?

Zipsfan is going off the deep end again. Attacking Kent for a player blowing 2 sips of a wine cooler over the legal limit while ignoring the cop-shooting Akron thugs. Ohh, and in what way is Evans any worse than your boy Torrence? I guess the big difference is that Kent didn't recruit Evans, nor did they give him a scholarship. Wish JD could say the same, huh?

As for out-of-state tuition…you ever heard of student loans? Evans was ranked ahead of Rajon Rondo…he still has a shot to go to the NBA and pay any loans off in a the next couple years.

The bottom line is this, Zipsfan: we'll keep winning 20 games a season by beating teams like Cincinnati, Oklahoma State, Alabama, Pittsburgh, St. Mary's on national TV, and, oh yeah…Akron three times a year. You might not remember us beating some of these teams…maybe you were still in junior high, which would also explain you conveniently forgetting Tarver and Hollingsworth, a couple drug-convicted pillars of class that played basketball at Akron.

As for weak schedules, maybe you should take a look at yours. You could win 29 games a season most years and still not get an at-large because the Zips play an out-of-conference schedule weaker than St. Vincent St. Mary's.

Take your win over us in football (the highlight of your year), and your soccer team (is that still an American sport?), and we'll continue to win Reese and Jacoby cups and have better academic ratings than your tier 4 ghetto…err, school…

FlashFan…i think you need to take a cold shower or something. Jonas is a student who is a correspondent for the Beacon. It's not his full-time job to be a reporter and write about the entire KSU sports program. He's a senior in his last semester – take a chill man.

….or that the coach of the volleyball team has apparently thrown in the towel this year and we're tanking what started out as a promising season? Or that field hockey won the MAC? Something…anything? Or do we want to make sure to leave a .83 OVI up long enough so as to humiliate the kid as long as humanly possible???
