Neither did Elmore Barton, who is actually an Akron Graduate Really, I never knew that. Elmo, as he was known then, and I worked as student janitors one summer (1963, I think). At that time, he was a member of Omega Phi Psi, and I remember him reciting the Greek alphabet in jive talk. It was very funny. A year later, I went on two years active duty in the naval reserve, and I lost track of him. I know in his senior year that he won the NCAA Cross Country Championship. At Homecoming this year I had a chance to talk with him for the first time in a long time. I did not know he didn't graduate here. Interesting.

Banton is in the Ohio university Hall of Fame(class of 1973). He is listed as a 1965 grad. Don't know where the Akron thing comes from. He may have a degree from there as well.

Ask him, he finished undergraduate degree at Akron. That's straight from him. Makes him no less a Bobcat.

He attended the University from 1962 to 1966, later finishing his degree at the University of Akron. He returned to coach the Ohio men's track and cross country teams in 1980, becoming the University's first African-American head coach. Six years later, he took over the women's track and cross country programs, too." https://www.ohio.edu/ohiotoday/spring02/depts/mojoe.html Last Edited: 5/29/2017 5:02:57 PM by BillyTheCat Back to Top boydhallbobcat General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 277 Status: Offline     RE: WBB: Karlis transfers to Wisky...    Posted: 5/30/2017 10:01:20 AM  OUVan wrote: OhioCatFan wrote: Michigone was defeated by a "minor league" team? Boy, you learn something new every day on this board. Beat me to it. It sure didn't feel like we were a minor league in 2010 or 2012. Yeah, but you are just reinforcing the point.The fact that beating Michigan and winning a tourney game or 2 was such a big deal kinda shows where we stand in athletics. I love OU more than anything, but we just can't compare to the B1G or the SEC, Pac 12, Big 12, etc. I hate to see athletes leave, but it's hard to blame them if they have the opportunity to play in a bigger spotlight.

We are just pointing out that we did, in fact, beat them. In a three year span we beat two Big East teams and a Big Ten team and were a missed free throw away from taking down an ACC team in the biggest event the sport offers. It just shows we can compete. We beat a middle of the pack ACC team this year at their place. It's not like we are a DII or DIII team. The point is that the benefits of moving from Ohio to Michigan are not cut and dried. Michigan lost a good amount of talent from a team that needed a deep run in the B1G tournament to make it to the dance to begin with. After losing three of their top players from that team they will now be relying on a player who couldn't even get his minor league team to win their minor league.

I'm not saying it was universal but it was prevalent. This towards a guy that came here and got his diploma. But when a role player transfers there is not a peep. My intent was to show that fans feel more victimized and wronged when it is a star. When in reality it is simply an individual making a personal decision that is right for them. But a role player is easy to sympathize with. You can understand someone wanting to get a bigger role or more playing time. It's much harder to understand or sympathize with someone just wanting to do the same thing he or she was doing here but at a different school. I've used this analogy before but it's like your college girlfriend breaking up with you. After a while you understand but that doesn't mean you have to like it. Jaaron essentially just walked up to us and said "It's not you. It's me." So while I understand Jaaron looking out for himself you'll have to excuse me when I say that I will think more fondly of Stevie Taylor or Asown Sayles than I will of Jaaron Simmons. Stevie and Asown are Bobcats for life. Jaaron turned himself into a rental. I'm late to the party here, but OUV nailed it.
