Sergeant Zip

Letter from Dr. Goodrich "Over the next eight weeks, we will evaluate our football staff, operations, roster, academic efforts, and recruiting and retention strategies as the transfer portal opens and closes. Inevitably, we will see some of our young men enter the transfer portal and we will also identify many new faces who are eager to join the Akron Zips football program in pursuit of a MAC Championship and University of Akron degree. "

Lee Owens book "The Spirit of a Team" quotes: 1. Owens was in his ninth season at Akron when the Zips beat Ohio U to complete a 7-5 season. After the game, Owens drove from the Rubber Bowl to his campus office, where he found a letter telling him he was fired. 3. Owens invited team chaplain Knute Larson to his farewell speech to the Zips players the next day. The talk became full of anger and lament. 4. Book quote: “Pastor Larson asked to visit with me after the meeting. He was quick to point out how poorly I handed myself to the team. ‘Football isn’t fair. Life isn’t fair. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. There are players and staff hurting just as much as you … bitterness is never the answer. Ultimately, you will be judged in life on how well you handle the adversities of life.’” 5. Owens and his Akron staff recruited quarterback Charlie Frye out of Willard and worked with him through his junior season, at which point Owens was fired. Frye became a fourth-year starter under Owens’ replacement, J.D. Brookhart. The Browns picked Frye in Round 3 of the 2005 draft. 6. Book quote: “Charlie landed with one of the worst-run, if not the worst, franchises in the NFL, and I say that as a lifelong Browns fan. He was rushed into a starting quarterback job as a rookie behind a makeshift line with few proven weapons. The Browns had no vision and no real plan going forward.” Firing through a letter isn't as bad as firing on the way to your mother's funeral.

Most wins since 2017 and people on here choosing to be miserable. Sheesh! Go Zips!

Could he be considering a move to the state of Alabama to watch his son play at Jax State? Didn't he come to Akron to watch another son play at Grove City College.

Holy crap, that was a legitimate article.

Pitched two flawless innings.

Any updates on Justin Anderson?

Robby Dambrot with Loudoun United FC EDIT: Whoops, you had it

He hurt his ankle / leg toward the end of the game last week. Maybe it lingered all week.

I didn't run the math but another option out there is this:

Despite missing the next 15 days, Bassitt could still earn that October starting spot. The Jays will face a decision between a currently struggling Scherzer and Bassitt after a long layoff.

Paul Lewis III and DJ Irons played for the Wroclaw Panthers of the European League. Lost their playoff game tonight.

Good news is he has earned $7,918,665 so far in his career.

He looks dead inside.
