Right. Repossess the property the same way a bank does. Not my field, but it's simply common sense. This is all most likely a misguided approach to better market the property next door, by adding a surface parking lot.

I kid.

What do you mean by length of time thing? this has been going on since the early 90s. People were protesting the Tribe and Atlanta Braves when they played in the World Series together. In the early 90s there were a bunch of colleges that changed their nicknames for the same reason. Remember when Miami was Redskin country. St. Johns had the Redmen, and Marquette was the Warriors (which I think they should have kept the name and just changed the mascot). This issue is nothing new. It seemed to start with the 1995 World Series when some "activists" saw an opportunity for attention. The movie "Major League" garnered zero protest. Would you wear the wahoo logo on an Indian reservation? I wouldn't. That was my point of realization when driving cross country in 2015, that I didn't want to wear anything that could be perceived as disrespectful.

Oh, this explains it....here's the reason she's an idiot. Councilwoman Brady earned her Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude, in Urban Studies with a major in neighborhood revitalization from Cleveland State University's Levin College of Urban Affairs.

This is infuriating. The building has a buyer. It's in the TOD plan. All of a sudden tearing it down for a parking lot is a high priority. The stretch of road is a like a six-lane interstate. It's all so stupid and dysfunctional.

Okay maybe I heard it wrong, but I thought I just heard "there will be no depictions of Chief Wahoo in the stadium." Does that mean they're going to go so far as to change historical photographs? Because that would be kind of weird.

I have been shying away from wearing the chief logo for the past few years myself. For Christmas I did buy my dad a GV Art shirt with a very dignified looking Indian represented. I would bet even a majority of fans would agree it was time for an official separation from the wahoo logo. Hoping the Indians name never changes, and I don't think it will But if it does, "Spiders" gets my vote for the best choice.

^ Holy hell. NOt a single pothole...look at that exquisite striping...I'm speechless. If you can prove this isn't photoshop I nominate this as UO Street of the Decade.

So many terrific shots! p.s. spray painting trees is just wrong

One of my early C-bus highlights was hitting up Hoster Brewing.

Good grief, I just heard a rap song released by the XFL to hype the league. Awful. I think Vince McMahon is senile and clueless about anything beyond his wrestling empire. His football league is going to be even lamer than Jimmy Johnson's televangelist hairstyle.

That's great to hear.

D1 is already split into 5 competitive divisions (and 5 non-competitive ones). The P5 conferences want to split from the G5 and the entire NCAA, but they are afraid it would invite legal action. NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma (1984) found the NCAA guilty of violating federal anti-trust acts. Many see excluding smaller schools as a similar issue. The G5 is guaranteed a team in the NY6 bowl games to prevent a lawsuit. I still don't think there's any plausible argument for further separating teams like Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana or Illinois from Boise, Toledo, Northern Illinois or the San Diego States of the world. There's no justification.

Seems a good potential concept to handle our homeless crisis. The $15k price tag could come down considerably, I'd imagine.

We already have historic conferences though that are technically supposed to be competitive (I'm looking at you, Indiana). What you're proposing, while interesting, creates more barriers and limitations on competition.

Rhode Island, Connecticut and Illinois are the 'worst possible states to live in' (but Louisiana and Mississippi aren't much better) If you want to lead a happy life, Boulder, Colorado, it seems, is the place to be – because it was named as the happiest city in the U.S. last October. It topped a list of 25 of America's happiest cities, revealed in the book The Blue Zones of Happiness, by National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner. Along with National Geographic and Gallup, he developed an index to measure a population's happiness based on 15 metrics including civic engagement, walkability and healthful food options. Boulder tops the list with walkability, access to nature and sense of community being contributing factors to its residents' happiness.

I don't think there's anything wrong with letting every D1 team compete. Limiting the number of competitive schools makes college football boring, essentially arbitrarily relegating most every school to football irrelevance. There's no need to do so.

Not to give credence to this dumb list, but I think it speaks more to immediate proximity and city boundaries. Like, I grew up between Philly and NYC and every week was a school trip to some amazing cultural institution; a cool museum, Broadway or the Philadelphia zoo. But in my neighborhood people didn't have to lock their doors. It was quiet. And the schools were decent. Likewise you don't have to live in the city limits of Cleveland, Dayton or Cincy to take advantage of the great attributes of those places.

Cool, he can talk Vince through the bankruptcy.

The main hurdle is that all good sports names are already taken. It's a proven fact.

I thought Newark had the best pitch lol.

I have a feeling he's thinking about how dreadfully awful his basketball team is. But this is the intriguing question. On the one hand he's the guy saving downtown Detroit. Will Cleveland get anything even approaching that level of his attention?

Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys) never finished the vocal tracks for this song, recorded in 1974. As it turns out, the drummer for the Foo Fighters has an eerily similar voice, and so he actually finished the track. It's pretty interesting musically, sounding more to me like a lost Beatles or John Lennon song.
