Tomorrow is finally here. Meetings today; pads and camp tomorrow. Nothing negative, I know there have been a few minor injuries I just pray these young men have a healthy camp and can start the season pretty much injury free and let the chips fall where they may!!!! Good luck Zips...

Looks like there's a new marketing director and a new title. https://gozips.com/staff-directory/ryan-koslen/709 There's also now an assistant marketing director. https://gozips.com/staff-directory/josh-smith/706

you can see all 3 goals in the 5 minute high light video go to about 40 seconds...to see first one go to about 1:40 to see 2nd one go to 4:15 or 4:20 to see 3rd one https://www.mlsnextpro.com/video/watch-he-s-back-jason-shokalook-bags-hat-trick-in-fire-ii-s-7-2-win-over-fcc-2#watch-he-s-back-jason-shokalook-bags-hat-trick-in-fire-ii-s-7-2-win-over-fcc-2

Other than following the Zips, I've lost all interest in college football and basketball because of stuff like this. The extreme capitalization is ruinous to so many things. I'm just tired of it.

Looks like the team will have new jerseys this season. Or at least new blue jerseys. https://www.instagram.com/p/DbllW6pFh7-/?img_index=10&igsh=bjQ1cG5vcjlsbDZ3

Another goal for Stefan Dobrijevic who has “had himself a summer of scoring” 😊

Dominican Republic U21 1-1 draw with Mexico U21. Thomas O'Rourke got 30+ minutes in the 2nd half. DR and Mexico are tied for group lead with 4 pts each. Venezuela has 3 pts. Guatemala has 0 pts. DR can advance with a draw or win v Venezuela Monday night (tonight) at 7 pm. Unfortunately, Vermont Green won the USL2 Championship 2-1 on an own goal and a pk caused by the Flint GK. Matthew Paiva scored the Flint City goal on a header.

Jason Shokalook had a hat trick for Chicago Fire 2 today! He has 7 goals in 4 matches with the 2nd Team. He's also played 9 matches with the 1st Team with 1 assist. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbjdo4gkYSR/?igsh=eXdpbjNjcWdmaWJ0

I still like college basketball and believe it's better today than ever. I don't find myself looking forward to college football the way I used to. Further, I don't think college football is as good of a product as it used to be. Throw the NFL in there also. The game itself is boring. Everyone looks like they are just working out. Guys bump into ball carriers and don't wrap them up. Ball carriers go down too easily. In the name of concussions, they have removed physicality from the spot. It's just bad entertainment now.
