Here's the tweet: New branding looks good on the car. Man would I love to see an Akron Zips car running a few Nascar races.

I talked to Chad Welker today at the golf outing and the web cam should up and running in the next day or two.

Yeah they never want any logos upside down on TV, so everything always faces the same way. High schools sometimes have logos flipped to face the home and away sides, but it almost never happens in college or professional sports.

On my phone and not sure how to embed the link/photos, but here is an awesome Matt Kaulig post for the University of Akron All-Sports Summer Open. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mattkaulig_gozips-activity-6942120313321095169-_Q6i?utm_source=linkedin_share&utm_medium=android_app

And shouldn't one of the MAC logos face the other way?

Pitcher John Creel (went pro after 2021 season) is currently in A Modesto after pitching well in one appearance with AAA Tacoma in Seattle's system. Pitcher James Meeker (A Zip in 2014 and 2015) is playing independant ball for Wisconsin. All Akron alumni

Get used to it, my friend. Until the next AD comes along, you’re stuck with it. Next field turf replacement is scheduled for 2033.

Your speculation is other people’s educated opinion. Be grateful they share it with you. If you want 100% rock solid info, go down to the Stiles Center and ask the coach. This isn’t Ohio State . He’d be happy to speak with you.

Bigjim, this is new territory that not many people know about outside of the athletics departments themselves. If you’re not satisfied with my response, I suggest you contact Akron athletics or the NCAA directly for your answer. Unfortunately, you won’t receive a 100% positive answer here or on any other message board. I used to be a high school AD so I was in the loop, but not anymore. Now I write for a sports media outlet. The information I just gave you is as close as you’ll find without contacting the departments I mentioned above.

5'10" 165 lbs. He had offers from CMU, BG, UMASS, and Temple. Looks like there might been some P5 interest early on, but no offers. His Twitter says he's the #1 WR in NY. I would imagine he has a connection with Ferri - Cuse was interested.

I’m on my phone but we just got a commitment from a NY WR named Jean Louis III. From Canarsie HS.

That's almost as many times as another Dolphin has reached out to Akron personnel. 😅 This is awesome and will only help recruiting.

Exactly. Robbie Dambrot, Shane Wiedt, and their team, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, beat Loudoun 2-0 that evening (after our Zips won at Robert Morris).

I'm expecting vast improvement by this defense. Not only due to the influx of higher level talent, but a much higher level of coaching. Our last defensive staff seemed pretty inept most of the time.

I love the way this staff is attacking the defense. So much versatility on the defensive line.

Man that old turf looks tired!

And here will apparently be the final product.
