Everyone hates us
Journalism ain't easy. Your work is on display for so many different interests that if you don't get people upset, you aren't doing your job.

Could our next AD be a Ric Flair fan?
As the Beacon Journal reported, associate athletic director Mike Waddell will perform as athletic director once Mike Thomas bolts to Cincinnati on Dec. 1. Waddell has been a media/external relations guy for four years. My experiences with him tell me he 1) is a smart guy, 2) nice guy, and 3) loves the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

The unbeaten streak ends
Akron lost 1-0 in overtime last night to No. 5 Indiana. The Zips best player, Ross McKenzie, sat out for cautions and starting defender Corey Sipos was hurt.

Somewhat off topic...
If you are an avid reader of the Buchtelite, which I encourage, I'm sure you read my opinion on Akron's student government. Associated Student Government has gone far too long without media (AKA Buchtelite) scrutiny. Members are given scholarships and plenty of money to spend throughout the year on projects. I apologize that kind of power has gone unchecked since I have arrived at UA. It will not receive that luxury any longer. The Buchtelite should be a better watchdog for where your fees are going.

Cavaliers open tonight
In case anyone cares, here is the Rasor's Edge from Tuesday. It's on the Cavaliers, who begin their season tonight against the New Orleans/Oklahoma City/Charlotte/Soon-to-be-Las Vegas Hornets. I will stick to Zips-related material, but if you want to read my columns, I will post them here weekly as well, regardless of content.

NCAA certification?
Does anyone know what this means? I saw the release, read it twice and still don't know what it means for the athletic program. My guess is that it solidifies Akron's position as a Division I school.
