THESE are the kinds of things that could leave enough of an impression on an Akron kid to become a Zips fan as they grow older, instead of becoming a robot-like bandwagoner and rooting for that team down south.

Plus, it's just a great thing to do. Period.

I'd like to think it is an opportunity for the players to see what a real challenge looks like. Turning a 1-11 team into a winner is a huge challenge, but nothing like what some of those children face.
