Feels like we should be set on offense aside from the TE position. Nice that we kept Williams/Mason/Gant/Patrick. Still feels like we have a lot of work to do on the defensive side.
Lebron paid homage to UA and the city with his new shoes which included the UA logo-

Figured it out from Zippy’s Instagram post. It’s the mascot for Goldfish Swim School a place in Hudson for kids swim lessons. Put him up there with the Texas Roadhouse armadillo for the best random mascot that frequents akron zips games

Excellent write up from ZippedUp. "Pesky MAC West squads". 😀
This needs a deep ZNO investigation. Could H.R.Pufnstuf be positioning himself to replace Zippy? Could this signing be the avenue in which H.R. weasels into UA? I smell conspiracy.
Watching the women's game at Kent. They had some people out on the floor cleaning up during a timeout. I was wondering if they couldn't have gotten someone other than a homeless guy off the street to do the cleaning. Then they said it's Kent's President and everything made sense. 🤣
It is sad that we are having this discussion. Sports betting will ruin collegiate sports if the NCAA does not ruin it first. I respect Groce in that he recruits high class scholar athletes who know right from wrong. I hope he can continue to have a pipeline to these athletes.
