Either poor attention to detail on the behalf of UA, or they had bad grades…which would be surprising.

I don’t see it on there, it’s the one above with the 3 A’s & kinda looks like the Central Michigan C I think

Wow those two are laying some wood!!! Impressive.

When the season starts.

At what point should there be concern that the open slots aren’t being filled from the portal?

Now that the new logo has been selected, can anyone that was involved in the process now share some insight on the logos that did not make the cut? Did any include a marsupial along with the "A"?

Maybe do something to more clearly see that there is a ‘z’ within the A without it taking away from the A itself?

I like the basketball floor above but I also like our current floor the Roo head on both baselines is truly unique to us and unique overall. I do like, though, that if they are going to remove the baseline Roo that they at least put paint in the lanes. I am not a fan of the non-painted lanes in basketball. Too bland, makes the floor look like they are playing in a bowling alley. Display the school colors and logos/ mascot where you can.

Aziz, heading to Utah Valley. that is all

While I'm a bit underwhelmed with the logo I certainly don't hate it. To echo some other posters thoughts the U needs to stick with this logo to form a brand. They can do all kinds of secondary logos but the primary logo needs to stay in place for the long haul for it to be successful IMO.

As far as longevity goes, tOSU have used the block O with changes in how the colors have been arranged for 64 years, and is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Iconic. Yeah yeah I know, we hate the Worthless Nuts. But, we want our university to be successful, sometimes you have to look at what's worked for other brands, including our rivals. In other words, DON'T MESS WITH IT FOR AWHILE. If ever.

I can live with losing her 1.0 ppg. Valpo is competitively beneath the MAC. Looks like she made a good move.

He was a little misguided on a lot of things.

GOZIPS was a man ahead of his time. RIP

Do you ZipsNation old timers recall the poster years ago that told us he had it on strong authority that the Zips were joining the ACC?

I hope you guys are having fun? I can’t believe I actually read all that bs 😂

Getting a share of $43M cut up 14 times still leaves a massive hole in the budget. I'd be more interested in duping Canada or NIU into joining the AAC so I could watch them get destroyed and the MAC could return to some sanity. Exposure?....Oh boy is this a fan trap if there ever was one. "Exposure" is what people who work in athletic departments claim is beneficial to their school just before they destroy it with another dumb idea. Paragraph 2: How do you know the average football fan is interested in Memphis, Temple, ECU, Tulsa and SMU? What about those schools is interesting? Every time I see Temple on Akron's schedule I roll my eyes. Memphis is a dump. Greenville, NC has almost no redeeming value. Tulsa?...the place in Oklahoma?...please. SMU is a cool place but not in driving distance for fans. Replace either of those names with Syracuse or Boston College and you know how I feel when the Wake Forest schedule is published every other year and both of them are on the home schedule. Heck, it's probably how Clemson fans feel when they see Wake Forest on the schedule. Paragraph 3: The American Athletic Conference WAS the bridge from G5 to P5. Now a few of those schools are leaving to play in the Big 12 where they will, within 3-4 years, turn into TCU....after thoughts. Why would any P5 conference want any of the schools remaining in the G5?....It makes no sense. The Big12 acted out of desperation. How do you know Guthrie is aiming for higher than the MAC and what is his plan to do so?...He's another guy who won't be around beyond 4 years. Whenever Akron has decided to make moves independently, disaster has followed. Be careful of what you wish for. I do agree Moorhead is higher than MAC level and I don't expect him to be here more than 4 years and wouldn't be shocked if he caught lightning in a bottle, had a great second season and was gone. My expectation as a fan is for Akron to establish a top level football program that competes year in and year out for the MACC. Moorhead will do that and the rest is up to future leaders. In the process, I expect the University to make the campus the center point of cultural activity in the fall with football games being part of those activities. To me, this would be a greater achievement than toiling away in further fantasy about playing at the P5 level while jumping conferences every five year in order to accomplish that goal only to be a bottom feeder. UofA is a taxpayer funded university and should operate in a manner that benefits the taxpayers of Ohio. Fantasy time is over. Paragraph 4: "The MAC blows". I agree. The leadership is terrible and cannot be trusted to do much of anything other than put on a pretty good basketball tournament in Cleveland. I'd go as far as to say most G5 conferences operate similarly to the MAC. All moves would have to be made in conjunction with the other G5 conferences and those ideas would have to be drawn up by people outside of the athletic departments of those schools because the leadership cannot be trusted to operate with the interest of their employers in mind.

Well fine, but are you ready to give up Tuesday night football?

Nope
