It's also a $25 million stadium attached to a $40 million tower filled with empty suites. That's where most of the waste is.

I still remember one pass play we ran a few times, where the OL would open a hole so that the short Wilson could see his receiver and he'd then throw the ball to the receiver he spotted through the whole. It looked like a running play, but it was set up so the short QB could actually see downfield. It was funny as heck to watch but did result in some ten yard pass completions. The only other way he could pass was to roll out so he was out of the pocket and could see downfield. But, these kinds of plays only worked because the defense was never expecting a pass because we attempted them so infrequently. And, most of the time they didn't work because Wilson always threw the kind of wobbly pass you describe. But, when we did complete a pass in that era some of us would standup and give a big cheer! It was like a big novelty.

The TV/Radio market demographics are misleading, as they are combined with Cleveland. Akron does not have a television station. It doesn't really have a true news radio station anymore.

Cleveland media largely ignore Akron unless there's a big story. Some of the reporters/producers I've met act like they'd need to stay overnight in a hotel to come down here. It's maybe a 40-minute drive.

Cleveland media is all about the Browns, Ohio State, Cavs and Indians (in that order. Local collegiate sports don't exist.

Watching the replay again tonight, they also pronounce Solich as Sahl-ich.
