https://www.instagram.com/p/DM8cKd0JBCh/?img_index=1 there are 10 really good photos on the Zips instagram page.... Photos were taken on media day my favorite photo is the 6th photo.....(which shows the tri-captains for this year's team) As NYC ZIP documented on July 15, there are 15 zips returning from last fall.....and 6 zips that joined the team in January 2025 The 10th photo is a team photo. I think that I count 30 zips in the photo. Hopefully, we will see a press release on Tuesday or Wednesday...that will tell us about the talented new additions to the team. As I have stated in the past, I believe that Jared and staff can begin coaching the team on Wednesday August 6. Go, Zips !!!! Looking forward.........to reading posts this Saturday night talking about Remi, Nate, Caleb and others scoring goals against the Bonnies 5 days away from Zips soccer....š

Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming
GP1 replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
I'm unconcerned if someone was a back up player last year and a starter this year. We can't play against last year's team. Players can improve over the off season. If a starter goes down, there's a big problem to deal with at the G5 level and most of P5. Depth in college football is horrible and compound that with the lack of continuity because of the transfer portal, injuries kill. The question then becomes how does Akron exploit this bad hand WY has been dealt? Attack the backup players in the run game?... That's what they do in the NFL. Prepare for more WY run and pass blitz packages?....I would because backups can't get as much pressure as starters and blitzing helps support them. If a backup is a weak link, how do the Zips block him with one lineman while double teaming Wyoming's better players?....makes sense to me. -

Theyāre in a similar spot to us along the D-Line right nowāeither last yearās backups or new transfers will be stepping into starting roles. So, theyāre still figuring out exactly what theyāve got. I agree that depth matters, but thereās also a chance the guys who went down werenāt going to be impactful contributors anyway. One was projected to start, but the last time he saw the field was 2023 and even then, it was in a backup role with fewer than 75 snaps all season. If Iām the head coach, Iām more concerned with the trend hereāthree achilles injuries? Thatās not normal. One or two, sure, that happens. But three? Iād be taking a hard look at whatever the strength and conditioning staff is doing with these guys. -

Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming
GP1 replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
Good information. Much needed news for the Zips who have a lot of questions to answer on the O line. This is not insignificant. Injuries are killers in football. Depth is important as players can't play every play. At G5 schools, it's hard to find really good starters and even more difficult to coach your way out of injuries. Coaches are only as good as their players. -

Doubt this matters too much at this point, as thereās still plenty of time to figure things out, but Wyoming is already down three defensive linemen for the seasonāa projected starter at DT, a backup DT, and a backup DE. -
First recruit for 2027. Plays club at Cleveland Force and played with several current Zips at Akron City FC this summer. https://www.instagram.com/p/DM2md5TsUY9/?igsh=MXgyYnJvazg3cHVmZA==

With Haliburton out for the season and Myles Turner signing with the Bucks, the Pacers will be a shadow of what they were this past season.

Marco Micaletto with a fantastic assistā¦

I never really had an NBA team, so Rique was my excuse to root for the Pacers last year. It was a very fun team, I'm excited for him but bummed he's not a part of it now. Guess I'll buy a Wolves jersey now š

I guess I'll have to overlook my disdain for Anthony Edwards. Go T-wolves!

Don't you dare bad mouth the popcorn. Shriveled up hot dogs and questionable burgers? Sure. The popcorn has nostalgic immunity to criticism though. -
Great news!!! I guess it was a done deal but had to wait until today to announce it. I hope he continues to improve and Indy regrets their decision to release him.

I'm so happy I don't have to root for the Pacers anymore! š Go Wolves.

Bring in a couple food trucks and make an event out of it. Bring in some pop-up restaurant people. Get rid of the stale popcorn vendors. -

How did this go? I was in town for meetings and hoped to stop by, but The meetings went too long. Were there a lot of Zips there? Any thoughts offered on all the fall sports? -
The other thing about TDS is their main metric is their own internal player rankings which are at best only somewhat informed, especially when you get outside the top 20 or so that are already pros.

Thanks, my main realistic idea is a reusable souvenir popcorn bucket and drink. You would pay like $50 and get unlimited popcorn for the season!
