Akron looking for three-peat in NFL Draft
Football
It may be a long shot, but Jabari Arthur, Reggie Corner and Davanzo Tate are trying to give Akron its third player selected in the NFL Draft in as many years. Some publications believe it's more likely that you might think.
That first story comes from the Buchtelite, as does this story about the rally to save Manny's Pub. The owner, Manny Nemer, claims his bar is "staying right here" and that $1.04 million is not enough to relocate. Make your own conclusions this time. I'm sick of getting nasty text messages about what I write.
Men's basketball
Zip Watcher, a moderator at ZipsNation.org, has a great idea.
He suggests the AK-Rowdies support Zeke Marshall, who will be in town for the King James Shooting Stars Classic this weekend.
Marshall is the best player Keith Dambrot has ever pursued. He is the No. 61 player in the nation, according to Scout.com.
