September 11, 200519 yr Who's gonna watch the Bengals beat the Browns this weekend??????????? I will be watching the Browns beat the Bengals! :wink: Did anyone catch Ohio beating Pitt? I was there and it was the most amazing atmosphere I have ever been apart of! :clap:
September 11, 200519 yr I watched the Bengals game. That was awesome. I wasn't such a fan of Palmer throwing that pick in a situation where the Bengals could have put the game away. Maybe next time he'll make a better decision. Y-City, I didn't catch the OU game. I don't have cable or satellite, but I would've gone somewhere to watch it if I had known it was going to be on TV. I would have loved to be in Peden....
September 12, 200519 yr Bengals puttin a beat down on my Brownies; it's gonna be a long season. :-( However, I do expect the Browns to improve as the season continues; hell any improvement from last season will be greatly appreciated hear in Dawg-Pound country. I saw OU on ESPN2. I was shocked at how alive that stadium was; I've never seen that excitement at one of their games. I'm still shocked at how bad Pitt looks this year. Gettin stomped on by ND is one thing; but then gettin stomped on by a MAC team, that's gotta hurt their pride a little.
September 12, 200519 yr I was really impressed. Odell Thurman is a beast. The great thing about him is that he's only going to get better. 2nd round steal for sure. The Palmer pick was the one sore spot on an otherwise spotless game for him. He's continuing to turn the corner on eliminating those types of things. He was hitting his recievers really well. The Vikes took a trouncing so I'd expect a big home opener next weekend. WHO-DEY! I hope the Browns don't finish last though. I don't want them to have Leinart!
September 12, 200519 yr >>>My old house, 17 Palmer, in the news! And the party at 9 Hocking really was incredibly loud -- I could hear it from my new house across the Hocking River on County Rd 25. They had some pretty decent band playing with what had to have been a PA big enough for an outdoor festival. Disturbances in student neighborhoods mar jubilation over football win 2005-09-12 By Terry Smith Athens NEWS Editor The jubilation over Ohio University's stunning upset of Big East power Friday night has been diluted by disturbances and street fires that erupted near uptown both Friday and Saturday nights. Both nights Athens Police reported dealing with numerous instances of unruly crowds and street fires in the Mill Street student neighborhood, as well as elsewhere near uptown. Incidents Friday included large gatherings of people in the streets after the game ended Friday night, and two furniture fires in uptown streets around the same time. Saturday night incidents reported by police included the forced termination of a loud party near Palmer and Mill, the tire slashing of a police cruiser parked at the party, crowds blocking the streets in this same area, partiers throwing beer at police officers, a crowd encircling police during an arrest, a mounted officer seriously injured after his horse slipped and fell during a chase, and another street fire on Palmer Street.

September 13, 200519 yr ^ Yikes...I was going to post the AP story on that, but the Athens News one was much better. Some things never change in Athens, I see. There were several of these riots when I lived there. ColonelBlue...I agree with you that Odell is a beast. He had a really good game but he was also the player who made the mistake on the Browns' 68-yd TD. Chalk it up to youth...he'll get better when he learns from these mistakes.
September 13, 200519 yr I'd like to see the AP story because I probably knew who wrote it. I just checked the AP site and couldn't find it. I heard the press conference today on the radio and was cracking up when they said they were going to hunt down the perpetrators and try to expell them. The simple fact is the cops and the state troopers in this town are a bunch of dicks. Nobody in the administration ever actually witnesses any of this, they just go by what their people tell them. The bottom line is that couch fires aren't very dangerous -- they burn real hot for about five minutes and then the show's over. I've seen it a dozen times. When the cops come in like the bunch of dicks people are going to react negatively and things spiral out of control. All the cops have to do is come in, write a ticket or two, put the fire out, and tell people to chill out. When you come in with the horses, like I've seen them do several times, and just start running over people that's when people get really pissed. I've seen them run over people and I've seen them handcuff people to the saddles and drag them along. I can tell you handcuffs hurt just when you're in the damn cruiser and I can't imagine how they feel being dragged by a horse. The cops get off on the power trip that comes with the horses and the riot gear. I see them teasing chicks all the time and blushing when some drunk girls come up and want to pet the horse. I've seen them dancing in uniform with girls in the bars and two years ago a cop got caught licking whipped cream off a girl's leg at a house party on Palmer St.
September 13, 200519 yr ^ The cops there are the worst. They were corrupt and power hungry. They use the drugs they seize. They prey upon people to collect money for the city. I know of two people who were arrested for public intox when I went to school there, and neither of them were drunk. One was walking home from studying. The funny thing is that both of these dudes were alone at the time--therefore, no witnesses. And don't even get me started on their behavior at Palmerfest. Re: The story...it appears it wasn't AP, it was just an Akron Beacon Journal story. Not really a story, really more of a summary. Since the ABJ requires registration, I'll just post the whole thing: Rowdiness follows Ohio University win ATHENS: Police arrested 15 people this weekend after Ohio University's win over Pittsburgh sparked a string of fires and rowdy parties. Burning furniture blocked an intersection Friday night as traffic backed up from the game. Early Saturday morning, officers doused a burning couch and found a garbage can on fire, Lt. Roger Deardorff said. Partygoers threw beer cans at officers as they tried to subdue a crowd and arrest a suspect Saturday night. A mounted officer also was taken to the hospital with an arm injury after his horse fell on top of him while he was chasing a suspect. Charges for those arrested included disorderly conduct, underage possession of alcohol, open container, resisting arrest, criminal mischief and obstructing official business. http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/12622992.htm?source=rss&channel=ohio_news
September 13, 200519 yr > The cops there are the worst. They were corrupt and power hungry. They use the drugs they seize. There's simply no way these guys aren't in on the drug trade. There is so much cocaine in this town and all you hear the university whining about is the alcohol. You don't even hear them even mention pot. I was arraigned last Tuesday following a bullshit arrest and there was only one cocaine charge (not a student) versus *dozens* of alcohol charges (underaged, public intox, etc.) and noise citations. I have seen the most brazen cocaine trading and usage of my life in this town and nobody really seems concerned and I only know one person busted for pot. In fact I was talking to somebody from Nelsonville who said the police there were searching her house and just took her pot, didn't even charge her. > They prey upon people to collect money for the city. I know of two people who were arrested for public intox when I went to school there, and neither of them were drunk. One was walking home from studying. The funny thing is that both of these dudes were alone at the time--therefore, no witnesses. Yeah, I can beat that one, but I'm not going to post all of my business on the web. Go Bobcats!
September 19, 200519 yr Nice game today. WHO DEY! Can you feel it? I seriously think they could get that 4-0 start that they wanted pretty easy.
September 19, 200519 yr Hell yeah! I didn't get to watch it, but it was on a radio at the park. Aside from the 17 penalties I thought it was a great effort. This team might actually be living up to its potential and this will be a great thing for this city if they keep it up. WHO DEY!
September 19, 200519 yr and the browns winning at Lambeau??? That's not something to overlook! Except that these aren't the Packers of our youth. But 1-1 is better than 0-2. :-)
September 19, 200519 yr true, but the Browns have NEVER won at Lambeau before yesterday...that's an achievement!
September 20, 200519 yr >Over a third of my friends are regular coke users. It keeps pulling more Bobcats in every quarter. It's weird too, because I don't think most of the students were coke users in high school. I could name you all the organizations that use the most coke, but I don't want to name names and get people in trouble. Yeah, I can't touch 1/3, but it's real bad in certain circles. Nancy Reagan would be proud -- I just said no. Or rather I just leave when things head in that direction, which if you're in certain circles, is every day. In a town with two unsolved drug-related murders you can't fool around. The fact that tons of people know by name who killed Terrance Ross two years ago and they haven't arraigned the guy it tells me the police were somehow involved in covering up evidence to protect their own guy. >Last year, we got noise violations frequently because our house is by the police station. It got to the point that if we had one more violation, it was a fine in the thousands of dollars on top of the community service. I know some guys who got nailed with that big fine and after that you get jail time. >One time during a rap battle, someone just whipped out their penis and tapped it on the mic. "Can you hear THAT?" he said. God must want to nuke Athens. A few years ago I saw Marilyn Manson bend one of his dancers over a stage monitor and sang a verse with the mic resting on her butt crack. > by the Hocking River on South Green, when some police rolled up on the bike trail. A lot of people smoke on the part of the golf course across the river. > As far as the Athens police trying to fight drunkeness or anything else- forget it. OU has its heart set on taking out Wisconsin (they've been a top 10 party school for like what, a century?). Halloween this year will be unreal. I'm predicting over 100 arrests, 15 stabbings, and 10 rapes. I think it's safe to say that Halloween in Athens will be bigger than Mardi Gras this year. Palmerfest will be too. Many kids at OU look at the situation in New Orleans as tragic, but also a chance to take out its title of party central. Yeah, I can sense this year is going to be the worst ever. I say that as somebody who just moved out of the Mill/Palmer area after two years of living there. The new crews that moved in are way rowdier. The girls at 64 Mill were the rowdiest in town until they got evicted last fall but there are several houses that bad now (that was the white house that was boarded up for like 3 months). >Best (lowest) pick up line I've heard at OU: virgin freshman girl: I think I feel a connection very experienced OU dude: I think we have a connection too, so why waste any time? girl's V-card: SWIPE Well I was at a grad student party last weekend a first year grad girl who's been in town for a week blurted out "So girls are we gonna **** our students?" and this other girl was like "yeah, 18 year-olds are so hott!". People here are completely out of control. Just wait until a couple dozen people get AIDS and then it's really going to hit the fan.
October 3, 200519 yr Hey Buckeyes... prepare to lose to the 5-0 Nittany Lions next weekend! *Yawn* "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 3, 200519 yr Hey Buckeyes... prepare to lose to the 5-0 Nittany Lions next weekend! *Yawn* Exactly! (Though I was getting some grief from a PSU grad concerning the PSU/OSU game, here at LSU as well)

October 7, 200519 yr The International Basketball League, looking to put a franchise in Cincinnati, is searching for a team owner. The minor-league IBL had 17 teams during its inaugural season last year, and it plans to add eight more. The IBL schedules games so teams don't have to make more than one trip a year by plane during the season, which runs April through June. The Cincinnati franchise would not make any plane trips in its first year. Dayton, Akron and Cuyahoga Falls have franchises. The league has set a 1 p.m. news conference Monday at the Cincinnati Athletic Club to discuss its plans for the local market.
October 8, 200519 yr We already had a team that failed in another league called the IBL. This is a college basketball town. Nobody's going to get psyched for sub-par ball in a league with teams in Akron and Cuyahoga Falls. (No offense to those cities.)
October 8, 200519 yr I actually forgot we had a team here in Akron, they get no attention by the local press (LeBron dominates all basketball related stories around here); I think they play in the gymnasium at Stow H.S. I didn't even know the Falls had a team.

October 9, 200519 yr Go Browns! Big comeback and an even bigger 2nd win! We'll take the Ravens next week!
October 10, 200519 yr Don't remind me... Puuuuuuuukkkkeeeee..... So, what are we going to do for the Outback Bowl this year?
October 11, 200519 yr Go Browns! Big comeback and an even bigger 2nd win! We'll take the Ravens next week! Yeah, maybe Modell's boys will self destruct again like they did against Detroit (21 penalaties, that's insane! :-o).
October 12, 200519 yr browns win, yankees choke on their bloated payroll = good week in sports! Yeah babe!!! I hate the stankees (eye candy - YES, but as a team I HATE them). Go Browns....Go Cavs!! :banger: :banger:
October 17, 200519 yr First of all, yesterday I was a Michigan fan. Thank you. Now go back to losing. Secondly, WHO DEY! And thank you Jacksonville. Finally, Columbus is also getting an IBL basketball team. Hell, any city can have one for $55,000: http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2005/10/10/daily27.html
October 19, 200519 yr we all bow our heads for the death of the greatest sports writer of all time hall of famer hal lebovitz. for one thing he single-handedly kept the tribe in cleveland on at least four occasions with his writing. those of you outside of ne ohio may know him better for his 'ask hal' rules column. he was a fav uncle of neighbors of ours i used to talk to him now and then as a kid. so long hal! So long Hal, see you somewhere, we hope David S. Glasier, Morning Journal Writer 10/19/2005 Cleveland's favorite sports writer died yesterday -- ending a lifelong love affair with the games and teams and athletes and fans. Hal Lebovitz, 89, died early Tuesday morning after an extended battle with cancer. Born in Cleveland, Sept. 11, 1916, Harold ''Hal'' Lebovitz was a longtime resident of University Heights. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Margie, his son, Neil Lebovitz of Cleveland Heights and his daughter, Lynn Lebovitz of Chester Township. Lebovitz was the featured sports columnist for The Morning Journal and its sister paper, The News-Herald of Lake County, since 1984. His Sunday and Monday columns ran the gamut of sports with special emphasis on the Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. In 2000, Lebovitz was inducted into the writers wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

In Cleveland, in journalism, in the last half-century of sports, there was Hal. And then there was everybody else. There was Hal, who was like nobody else. He was, simply, ''Hal.'' Say the name, and everyone immediately knew who you were talking about. ''Did you read Hal?'' ''Did you see what Hal said?'' ''According to Hal ...'' ''Ask Hal.'' In the business of being Hal, nobody was bigger than Hal. Nobody was brighter than Hal. Nobody was better than Hal.

October 23, 200519 yr The Bengles took it on the chin today...I think the best they can do this year is 11-5. That includes another loss to pittsburgh, one to Indy and at Baltimore.
October 24, 200519 yr there's no point...we've already beaten ourselves up over our ineptitude by now... your words wouldn't matter to us anymore!
October 25, 200519 yr Bobcats won!!!!!!! OUr last three games will be nationally televised bringing the total this year to 6, with one regional broadcast on FOX!!!!!! GO FRANK!!!
October 28, 200519 yr wow, the brownies are three point underdogs against the texans. A team that has never held a lead in any football game at any time during the season
October 29, 200519 yr The Browns get absolutely no respect. I've seen the Texans play a couple of times this year; the Brownies can definately beat these guys. They've just gotta find a way to generate some offense; the O is looking worse and worse each week while the defense seems to be improving each week.
October 31, 200519 yr what in the sam hail? Bengals to reassess security after incident CINCINNATI (AP) - The Cincinnati Bengals will reassess their security measures after a fan ran onto the field Sunday and disrupted a potential game-tying drive by the Green Bay Packers. The Packers, trailing 21-14, reached the Bengals 28 with 23 seconds left. Brett Favre took the ensuing snap, but whistles quickly blew after the fan came onto the field. The unidentified man took the football out of Favre's hand and ran about 50 yards before being tackled by security guards and removed from the field. Favre was sacked on the next play, and on the final snap, he completed an illegal pass beyond the line of scrimmage that came up short. Neither Favre nor Packers coach Mike Sherman blamed Green Bay's loss on the fan. "I thought we had some momentum going, but there could have been an injury on the field that could have slowed things down," Sherman said. "We had our chances and didn't take advantage of them."

October 31, 200519 yr That's pretty frightening that that freak was able to pick the pill out of Brett Fav-reh's hand. Though it did stop the clock and let them make some substitutions.
