For all road trips this fall, the Zips will don new travel attire, featuring navy blue blazers, white button-down shirts, khaki pants, and blue-and-gold striped ties. “Thanks to the generosity of one of our most successful entrepreneurial football alums, former QB Matt Kaulig (1992-95), owner of LeafFilter and Kaulig Racing, we were able to purchase travel suits for our entire football team,” head coach Terry Bowden said. “We call this program ‘Dressed for Success’ and one of our graduate assistants Sean Levy has been in charge of putting it together. Not only does it allow our players to represent the University of Akron in a very classy way on road trips, but I am amazed at how proud our players feel when they all dress so nicely for our trips. One of the rewards our players will receive is when they graduate, they will get to take their suit with them and hopefully wear on their first job interview.” “JCPenney Commercial is absolutely ecstatic to partner with the University of Akron’s football team for the 2018-19 academic year,” said Michael H. Brownlee, JCPenney Commercial national account manager. “This will mark the first year that JCPenney will be partnering with the University of Akron to outfit the entire football team with travel day suits and accessories to make sure they are stylish, confident, and GAMEDAY ready! We all know that when you look great, you perform GREAT! Coach Bowden and the University of Akron football staff have been awesome to work with, and we truly cherish the relationship we’ve built since the inception of this program. We look forward to a fantastic year of great football for the Zips and nurturing this amazing partnership for years to come!” Photo: by @ZipsFB

I think it’s right next to the team shop?

South, close to Central, first row by the canal Look for an NU & Zip flag

The NCAA continues to amaze... Kentucky faces sanctions.

Diogo Pacheco will also help the zips after he gets healthy. That young man has dealt with a lot during his first semester at Akron. Getting another option up front (the return to health of Zajac /Pacheco) to pair with David Egbo....can make the zips dynamic

If this group doesn't gel soon, the away schedule is going to eat them up. I'm hoping they get more from Abdi/Skye and a Zagac return would help too. Where has Kahsay been? Would like to see some minutes for Allen on backline.

On his Twitter feed he says "I prefer to be called by my last name." Zipmeister's new favorite player?

I don't know much about tailgating at Northwestern, but I wouldn't expect much if the most relevant thing you found was a Michigan State thread from 2011!

There is much more to a college education than vocational training. In general, relative to someone with lesser education, a college graduate should be able to: 1) think independently, 2) work within a team, 3) learn throughout life, etc, etc, etc... Again, I am not opposed to cuts or consolidation of programs. It is the hasty way it was done and outside of the context of stable leadership and a clear vision for the future of the University. There is inconsistency in the statements put out about the motivation for the cuts that makes things even more suspect. I am not a partisan, and I actually abhor them. It's unfortunate, particularly as a fellow UA alum, that you find the need to make petty opposition rather than seeing it as a great loss to our common interest.
