A New Era of Akron

so yes the Browns are just awful, but that is not the topic for this post.  I would like to point out something that 'appeared' yesterday during the OSU vs UC game.  No, it wasn't a brutal beating of the Nasty Nati nor was it our 4th string quarterback, but folks I am talking about something much more significant.

During the 4th quarter, Antonio "Akron" Pittman just blew by the UC defense for a speedy 48 yard TD.  For those who saw it, this was a very impressive run, but during that play you might of missed something that could have more impact on Akron athletes than anything..well ever.  Check this:

You know what this is don't ya.  Well, just to explain this is the dynasty symbol that Jay-Z throws up to rep his record label.  But..this is also the same symbol Bron threw up during the 2005 & 2006 All Star introductions.  So we all know Bron is part of Jay-Z's main crew so it would make sense he is throwing it up to rep his boy.  Ok fine makes sense.

But..when Bron first threw this up I initially thought it was an Akron symbol.  I mean it looks like an 'A' right?  So after the 2005 game, I got all psyched until people just said I was foolish and it's just to rep Jay-Z.  So the next year at the 2006 All Star game, Bron once again threw it up.  My buddies and I were all still convinced it was for Akron.   But now..we see Antonio Pittman, from Akron, throwing up this symbol after a sweet TD.  Huh..  So I might be nuts, but I don't think Pittman is a rapper nor is he that good to be one of Jay-Z's boys.  So where does that leave us you ask? 

I think we indeed have a new symbol for all Akron athletes.  What else could it mean?  And maybe Bron was actually repping his hometown this whole time.  I mean on the bottom of Bron's new lowtops is a pic of Ohio with a star representing Akron.  Would you really be that shocked if Bron did that?  Either way, this could be huge and hopefully means more Akron symbol's popping up around the wide world of sports.

AK..
