As long as he's Gouda enough

I heard that Tyler is one of triplets, but I don't know if the staff has any interest in his brothers Munster and Havarti.

The match saw the intensity ramp up after the opening 15 minutes. Both teams came to play and win. It got chippy at times. I thought Maryland had more opportunities to score but the Zips were not impressed. I spoke with Jared at the half and he said the team is starting to come together. They are understanding each other better and he will have depth once again. The new guys coming in will supplant many of today's starters. Bottom line is we played Maryland even with players that may not start in the fall. We will probably have a rocky fall start, but Jared will get them to gel. My biggest concern is who will be our distributing midfielder next fall? get that solved and we are ready to go deep in the playoffs.

The Cheese no longer stands alone.. But, Xeyriusly folks...

You never know with injuries, but when coach gathered the team after the game, he stated there were no injuries. Fingers crossed. Random thoughts. Saturday reiterated my excitement for Jamal Davis. He seems to have multiple effective moves to get seperation from his man. Among other plays, I saw a great inside stunt that would have been quarterback chaos in normal game play....Speaking with an anonymous coach "I'm not sure how you are going to keep Wolfley off the field", he responded "you're right, he is pushing every day." Speaking of that position, I saw Darryl Long being more vocal than I have ever noticed before, I'm wondering if that is going to translate to some more playing time...Rob Kelly, told me his labrum surgery went well, and he is looking forward to getting back at it during the summer. He was very positive and excited about the QB group...Bubba Arslanian is going to make Zip fans happy he plays for their team. He seems to be one of those linebackers that has good anticipation, and always ends up near the ball...I thought the offensive line showed well on run plays. I need to take a game and concentrate on what is going on up front, and see who is doing what. I focused on Trevor Brown a few times. He disguised a couple of misdirection plays pretty well. Enough to fool me. I feel short changed (other than Van), that I didn't get to see the elite RBs. A few players told me that Van had a great spring....Multiple coaches expressed their enthusiasm about the depth of this team. One coach in particular was extremely excited about the future of the team because of the young talent already pushing the veterans. Look for a ZipsNation™ article on the defense coming soon.

Was that the best weather for an Akron spring game in a while? Beautiful day to be at the Info. This program is in good hands with Ramart backing up Kato at the very least. Kato made a beautiful deep throw, but still looks a bit indecisive at times when it comes to running or passing. Ramart makes pretty quick decisions, and is accurate (minus his deep ball interception). I'm hoping Ramart either pushes Kato to improve, or wins the job. Either way, I think we're fine at QB. Our WRs have a good mix of big and small guys, and I can't remember the last time we were this tall at WR; here's to hoping they have hands. Our OL depth is insane, considering the freshman weren't even on the roster sheet, yet half the sheet was OL. We're BIG, too. Again, like WR, size isn't necessarily everything but it helps. Very cool seeing Reggie Corner Jr. on the roster/team. Classic name from the glory days! This team will be fine this year. Compete in the P5 games (maybe steal one?) and win in the MAC. Get to Detroit, and let's see what happens. Go Zips!

I like this kid A LOT!

Too bad it doesn't look like Maquelle McIntyre will never see the floor for the Zips. We could have had a Mac and Cheese backcourt.

Stayed up until midnight last night watching a cable replay of our best game ever (Nov 2011 Iowa State 28 point underdog against #2 Oklahoma State and won in 2OT). There is no way that the "comforts" of home compare in any way to being at the game that broke the BCS system (put Alabama in the national championship game). I go to every game expecting it will be a "had to be there" experience. Including our game at Akron! And it happened. Reserved an entire lot. Had a great tailgate. And I won the 50/50 raffle. Can't do that at home!
