Here is the media release with a link to the virtual media guide. I love how they are putting this together.

"The event will be broadcast live on ESPN3 with the Zips' interviews to air at 1:07 p.m. ET."

 

On a side note with this, Terry will be interviewed on SiriusXM College Sports Nation Ch 84  on Thursday as well.

“I believe we’ll be a better offensive line than we were last year,” he said. “I know that we’re better athletically.”

Bravo to ABJ! I really enjoyed that article. I found it the perfect pre-media day preview. It talked about some of the issues surrounding the team and used quotes from the coach and general roster information to talk about how Bowden is planning to address them. Keep these type of stories up!

Zips picked to finish 3rd in the East. BG predicted to win (I don't see that happening this season). Unsurprisingly, WMU picked to win it all.

Hopefully at the season's end, we're in 1st place in the East...like the predicted 3rd place team in the West always ends-up.

Curious to know why any university would waste time putting this info on paper.  Do they still buy their clothes from the Sears Catalog by using a printed order form?  Do they insist on using a paper airline boarding pass?

I'm not sure any of them are on paper anymore. I'm pretty sure that Akron's is fully digital. They just use the style because it is effective and what people are already familiar with.

About as useful as the old Yellow Pages book. ?

" I'm pretty sure that Akron's is fully digital."   If this is what you call fully digital in today's world, then their is no need for an Apple watch because I had a Timex digital watch in 1981.  Please help me find the "search"  function on our fully digital media guides.

I haven't had time to post here about media day. The thing that caught me in a few of Terry's interviews was when he was asked about the losses we had at o-line. He said "the guys here are very athletic and we have depth. This year's line will be better than last years."

 

Yesterday he was asked about being voted to finish 3rd in the east. He responded by saying in order to be ahead of BG and Ohio than we need to beat BG and Ohio. He went on to say it was never a dream to be voted pre-season coach of the year. You want to be coach of the year when the season is done.

The comment about the line stuck out to me and validated what I thought I was seeing at the spring game.

Perhaps I should have posted this in the basketball forum, but since this thread exists I'll leave it here. CBS Sports will be carrying 12 football and 12 basketball regular season games and they will air the MAC basketball Men's semi-final and Woman's finals. This will be the 1st time either is broadcasted nationally.
