WMU had a lot of returning talent, namely on defense, on what was a really great team. Akron started the year with a lot of unknowns. That's a fair point. TBH, I made the friendly wager off of blind hope...and the observation that usually take a step backwards after losing a coach to another school. I was thinking Akron would be 8-4...and WMU would be 7-5...I guess I was 1 game off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. Glad you guys donate to the Z-fund too. I pay by the monthly payment plan on my credit card. It makes it easy to contribute. I'm sure many on here could easily afford $50-100 a month. You can even designate which sport you would like to support. The majority of my donation goes to basketball. I would highly suggest that for anyone who wishes to support Zips athletics. It's also a nice tax deduction. Edited December 7, 2017 by Hilltopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good number of the season-ticket packages are Z-fund donations. My Akron-Alumni package ($170) in some part counts as a Z-Fund donation as well, though it's not listed as a "season ticket" purchase, because if gives season tickets to all sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Found the article.) It turns out that we did burn it, not break it and it looks like Gildersleeve was the initiator. http://wwmt.com/sports/content/akrons-symbolic-oar-burning-smashing-blows-up-in-their-face-in-41-0-loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I saw that last night. Though I've lifted my entire life, I don't know squat (pun intended) about D-1 level, sport-specific strength and conditioning. But I could at least tell the players liked Gildersleeve. I hope Coach Arth has a great hire up his sleeve for Sleeve's replacement, b/c, (along with Otis Mounds & Marcus Wattley), I was thinking we should give Gildersleeve strong consideration for staying on.
