Hell, don't put a roof on it and have the MACCG there.

Good Luck Kwan! Love that he is still playing for the "Roos"!

Hello Zipsnation, Kwan ask me to post this on his behalf. As a family we would like to thank the University, fans , and coaches who supported our son through his 4 years here. Go Zips

Coming to UA on an academic scholarship, but with gridiron aspirations

George Thomas "Weights In". No weigh George has a Journalism degree.

He broke a bone in his left hand I believe, he had a red cast on yesterday at the Youth Summer Camp. John Groce joked about it to the campers saying they'd talk about that later.

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.

Based on the spring game, I am pretty excited about Dailey and King. Throw in the good things I've heard about Jamal Davis and hope that Bell has improved, as he had talent according to his offers.* Throw in another offseason of development for Gilbert as well. So we should definitely be better. 99.5% sure it isn't enough to beat Penn State, but should help enough for the rest of the schedule. *Assuming they are on the team.

So he's going from a kangaroo to a Kangoeroe! That's actually got to be the coolest post-akron career move I've seen!

Thanks Mom! And all blessings to the whole Chop Fam, and the Kangoeroes! Maybe he can take some grad courses in Belgian brewing!

Good luck to Kwan and congrats. Have to love the roo connection!

IMO, there was only inarguably, one. I am not clairvoyant enough to know who the most talented teams are in the month of July. With a healthy Woodson and Ball, the Zips will be in the mix. Akron will win or lose the MAC in the month of November, and that is a long way off. Enjoy the weather. ?

The kangoaroes...gotta love it. We'll all be rooting for him.

Johns started spring semester, the rest of new players reported in early June. Freshman have to live in dorms (they are in them already for summer stuff) & after your freshman year you can live in house just off campus. NCAA schollies have changed significantly, Freshman & players who live in dorm have all expenses covered for education, room & board & food plus a few hundred a month for other expenses. If you elect after your freshman year to live off campus you lose the room & board & food part of your schollie & instead of a few hundred a month for expenses you get a little over 1k a month for your expenses. Hope that answers your ? They did 3 weeks of conditioning & lifting in June. I don't think coaches are allowed to coach during this time but coach Sleeve & his group work them pretty hard & from my understanding the upperclassmen lead drills on the football field. They are in summer 1 classes, they were off the football grind last week & returned this week. This week is the last week of summer 1 classes. In August camp starts & it is an all day job. i know some of the local players from coaching in area and always ask a bunch of ?'s when I see them around.

What an outstanding young man. Love to see kids like that coming to Akron especially for corrosion engineering.
