  2. Definitely. Marcus Wattley as HC & Otis as an assistant. I just hope neither have bad feelings or resentment toward UA for not being retained by Coach Arth. Here's the tweet I saw. Idk when/where it was taken, but Otis is sporting Zips' gear.

  3. Looks like we've got another addition to the 2019 class. DL with what should be 2 years to play. Also had offers from Kent, Kansas, and Charlotte in this recruiting cycle. https://247sports.com/Player/JaQuize-Cross-83046/high-school-143915/

  4. Thursday and Friday in Muncie were pretty good days for the Zips track programs. Going into Saturday's final day Akron already has a Champion in Ian Behm in the javelin, and another with Lucy Bryan capturing the pole vault title, while Abby Helminiak and Eboni Hall placed 2nd and 5th. Unknown freshman Laurelk Bristow got the Zips a 5th in women's jav. Three Zips took home points in the Decathlon, with Brandon Hochbein a surprise silver medalist, while Kamar Majid and Malik Hudson each earned points as 3rd and 5th. Then HUGE win for Sarah Foster in the Heptathlon, a welcome surprise here. No surprise than Jordan Lattimer blew everyone away with the win in the long jump and Hesham Eldesouky finishing 5th. Abby Wilson was 2nd in the shot whie Olivia Snyder was 6th, and then McKenzie Andrews and Haley Hess take first and second in the steeplechase, while Nick Stricken gave the men a 4th in the event. Tevin Brown, who surprised in the Indoors with a win, was a beast outdoors in giving the Zips the 10,000 meter title, can't remember the last time if ever we won that event. So Kent State leads the men with 61 points while Akron has 56, and Akron leads the women with 68 to Central Michigan's 56 coming into today. We should do well in men's pole vault and high jump, and possibly triple jump with Hesham. The women should score points in high jump. We've got Marc Migliopzi and Andre Godbott in the 1500, with Leah Recker and Lindsay Scarton joining Andrews in the women's finals. Dara Perry has fastest time in the 100 hurdles and Victoria Abunaw joins her in the finals. Jace Roundtree and Patrick Kimball are in the finals of the 110 hurdles. Noah Williams qualified for the men's 400 finals. Demetrius Jackson and Malcolm Briley, both freshmen, qualified for the men's 100. Dimitra Gnafaki is in the 400 hurdle finals for women, Garett Wright, another freshman and Dylan Hochbein are in the men's event. Amir Willis, freshman is the #2 seed in the 200. And we should do well in the 5k with McKenzie and Tevin, and hope our relay teams can score points. Should be a fun day in Indiana. Go Zips!!!

  5. Those amenities could be shared with the ball parks and soccer field. Having everything clustered on campus opens a lot of opportunities to make the events a destination, where they would be in place for track, softball, soccer, and baseball. Decent rest rooms. What about a place for food trucks? Maybe place things to do near the entrance of the Team Shop. Draw more people into there. Most minor league baseball fans don't care whether the team is AA, A, independent league. Or what those mean. They go for an affordable day outside at a decent facility with a choice of foods. And maybe one day being able to say "I saw them play back when...". Schedule several games/events at once to make it worthwhile. Charge admission to ball games. IMO that would help attendance. Make it more "something to do" than going to watch a game or event.
