Article on one of my all-time favorite Zips.

Cool to see him doing so well. B)

Very cool! I'm always impressed by people who can put forth so much effort into a wide range of opportunities. I was also intrigued to read his Wikipedia entry (link at bottom of the Examiner page). Cherry, Sparks, Irwin, Bailey, Schifino......you have to admit LO had no problem bringing in quality wideouts.

You are right. We did have some good WR during LO tenure...

I DVR'd The Last Fall on BET this weekend and started watching it this morning. Pretty good so far and included a reference to Akron. The main charechter who is a now former NFL practice squad player is having dinner with a high school flame and her parents and they asked what he did for a living. He said played football and the dad said he used to play and they asked where they played college ball. The main charechter said Akron while the dad said Harvard. It was nice to get a mention in the movie.

Outstanding! Anyone who has ever raised little girls will love this short film. Well done Matt. It's great to see a former Zip athlete, let alone a star receiver, give back to society.
