My apologies young lady. No disrespect was intended.

Gentlemen, first I cannot believe Im reading such nonsense and the language spewing from some of your mouths. Calling out players and coaches etc.Shame on you ! After watching the team last year and so far this year this is my observance. First, Arth came in and demanded these boys go to class, study , make the grades and perform community service.Im willing to bet the boys that didn't make the grades and didn't want to contribute to the community went on their own way. Now remember: new coach = new system and some boys left because they did not fit the system .And the locker room poison was sent away. Last year was rough as Arth did not have the players for his system.Fast forward to now, Arth is starting to put some of the pieces to the puzzle together now. He has a young OL that is better than he had last year. We are loaded at WR and looks like we have some capable RBs.I am concerned with the QB position. Defensively, I think Feeney is more than capable but needs more talent in his secondary . Maybe right now we need to play more zone as Im not seeing any shutdown cover guys. LB play is very good considering all game long you got 300lb lineman crawling to them. In my opinion, we cannot run a 3/2 we do not have 3 280lb DL that can run stop or rush. Therefore, a 5/2 suites us better and enables our LBs to scrap and make plays free of OL crawling.My next question is “ Why y’all got some much against walk ons “ Just because they are the boys that didn't get all the hype doesn't mean they cant compete. Take Grimes for instance ,he is probably as good as those hyped up 4 & 5 star WRs. Stars are out the window when you get to this level. I understand Arth is very good about awarding WO scholarships if deserved. So how about you boys knock the crap off with trashing coaches & players. We lucky to just be able to watch them play now. The challenges & struggles these guys are going thru are real. We are better than this fellows !

Sorry, Im not seeing what your seeing in Smith. Didn't do anything last yr on special teams.Not impressed. Snowden has potential but has a lot to learn .
-
Im guessing he is hurt . Great young man and works hard but cant stay healthy.
-
No offense to Mr Naim but wondering with the stable of WRs we have, why he was playing before some others.Am I missing something here. Is he that good. If so why didn't he play at all last yr?Nothing made sense to me last night personnel wise.
-
Seems like there were an awful lot of new faces out there tonight. Looked like a lot of injured players. Thought we had a bunch of new RBs.I only saw 1 . Where the rest? Whats wrong with Kato?
-
Did some opt out or decide not to return?
-
Thought we had a lot more Sr’s than 11. I swear we had at least 15 or 16.

This tells me the youngins are not ready yet. JUCO players buy time for the youngins to develope. -
LZip, looks like the young man reconsidered his options.
-
I still would like to know what you do with the upperclassmen and their scholarships. At the end of the day what matters is these young men.
-
I don't believe there will be any football for the college ranks played this yr. Until there is a vaccine in place, I don't think spring football happens. Other thing, what happens to the Sr’s eligibility and scholarships. Is the NC2A gonna give these young men a sixth yr and allow more scholarships?Where will that money come from?Alot of unanswered questions.

How Many Games Will the Zips Play this Year?
John Ward replied to Dr Z's topic in Akron Zips Football
This is just terrible. I figured this might happen. My heart goes out to those seniors on the team that have worked so hard only to see their careers end like this. -

Child ? Far from it ! Im just a respectful individual who respects what these young men are trying to accomplish. They need positive reinforcement not the nonsense you spew. Shame on you son! -

Im guessing neither of you two ( LZip & Meister) never played a down of ball. Otherwise, you wouldn't speak so . Tough guys on the other side of a keyboard ! Have some respect ! -

Looks like he been a lot of places. I guess ,as a walk on ,you search for a program that will provide you with an opportunity to prove yourself.Maybe Arth is giving the young man a chance. We don't have any depth at QB so I hope he finds a home here. None of us know his story so lets welcome him instead of bashing him. -
Im laughing because this is the same thing he said on a different thread. Spin is all about the MONEY !!! Don’t worry about the players.C’mon we are better than this.
-
How many of our young men have contracted the virus?You seem to know a little more than the rest of us. It looks like I touched on a little nerve when I said money over health. I also was asking Spin not you LZip. Unless you are his speaker.
-
So in reality Spin you are basically saying the money is the most important thing here and not the health of the players who play & are the reason the money comes.They don't get paid but would be the ones to suffer if they contract the virus.

There have been no final decisions rendered as of yet. Most do not feel the MAC will have a season. Heck Mich St has halted workouts because 2 coaches tested positive. So, if camp starts and a cpl young men or coaches test positive ,do you shut for 2 weeks ?How about during the season. Not sure how this can go on.

Did you stay up all night proof reading and cutting and pasting your post there big fella? I think you just need to start your own thread that is titled “ Come Argue with a Fool” Enough said here! -

Child please ! You have probably shaved twice in your life . Grow up ! Talk like a human and not an idiot kid that you are. Coming on here dogging everyone. -
Sorry guys ! I made a comment and it turned political. So back to the team at hand. I know the boys are working hard during this summer. What are your thoughts on this team. I know we had no spring ball so we have no idea what we have. I fear we are just going to line up the same people as last season. Might be a little insanity but what can you do?
