zipsoutsider Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Odd for there to be photos and no article but nice to see the guys having a good time and it looks like the new guys are really meshing with the team. Maybe an article will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hard to tell much besides they seem to be enjoying themselves. Nice TD run by Chapman at the end. Some face time fro Clayton Eucker at QB it looked like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Nice play by Chapman at the end and really nice to see Woodson engaged in the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (Referring to the Video above) Denzel Butler and Jordan George making some nice plays on the ball. Who made the tackle to chop down Chapman on the sweep? That was nice. I'm optimistic about our secondary helping our line make some plays this year.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Looks like Chapman has slimmed down to a more athletic body type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - I think our secondary will be strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Blue & Gold said: Beacon Journal: Opening at left tackle spurs competition “A lot of the guys turn 22 or 23 and their love of the game changes,” UA coach Terry Bowden said of Tuley-Tillman’s departure. “He saw the future of his life out there and football was not where he wanted to go. It happens sometimes. When a player decides they’ve had enough of football, they’ve had enough.” That means sophomore Trevor Brown and junior Undrea Bullard will battle to assume that role for the offense once the regular season rolls around. Good for Logan, hope he is successful in his future. Justin Gilbert should have did the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the must see big game is the Iowa State home game, but I think if the Zips beat Troy in AL, then they go bowling, barring injuries. Just like the article says - there are high and low side expectations for Akron, which should make for a very interesting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You periodically see on on there. But remember when they said they'd sell us one for like $200 or something? I always wanted to pull the trigger on it but didn't have the $$$.

From what I understand, the black uniforms and chrome helmets were pretty much expected to bridge the gap until the new navy and white uniforms were purchased.

I do like the new uniforms. But darn did I like those chrome helmets. Oh well, thanks for the info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I think the chrome helmet fad jumped the shark. It was cool when Oregon did it first. It was okay when a handful of teams started using gold or chrome options. But when every team has worn a gold, chrome or super metallic helmet it's probably time to try something different. Personally I like the anodized satin gold helmet the Zips used last season. Probably my favorite helmet they've ever had.

Form the kangaroos, to the cool new look. I did like the chrome helmets though...I'd like to see them make an appearance for one game out of the year. But that was just my opinion of course.
