Catching Up

This summer, we saw the Cleveland Indians fail miserably, we saw LeBron abandon the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we're still seeing numerous NBA superstars attempting to team up (most notably Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony). It's easy to stop paying attention to UA activity with all this professional happenstance, so here's what we've missed over the summer.

1) Memorial Hall is going, going, gone. Here's a lovely article about the good ole days of the Hall, and some nice classic pictures.

2) The football team has been practicing for a couple of weeks now. New head coach Rob Ianello praised the defense. You can see his thoughts on yesterday's practice here.

3) The football home schedule looks promising this year. The season starts with two home games against Syracuse and Gardner-Webb, respectively. Conference play at home will be against Northern Illinois, Western Michigan, Miami (Ohio) and Buffalo.

4) LeVon Morefield got a nice article in the Beacon Sports Journal. Rob Ianello seems to be a promising coach, especially when he makes decisions like these.

5) The new soccer field looks amazing, and the sight of extra bleachers make my feet happy.

6) Zips fans may have another soccer team to watch this year. The women's team was picked second in the MAC East in the preseason polls, and third in the MAC overall, behind Western Michigan and Miami (Ohio). Their season begins tomorrow, against Illinois State.

7) Open poll for the comments section: Will the football team make a bowl game this year? What will be their overall record?
