ZippyDoo

Red shirted at Old Dominion RFr at Albany RSo at Albany RJr at Miami RSr at North Texas Supposedly no reps at either scrimmage....

i'm guessing next man up... i predict CB will be starting at Wake. Smaller but does everything Mango was talking about.

the scrimmage was this morning but i was not there. i'm hoping someone was..: i did here it ended on Jalen williams getting a pick the last play.... 6'6 340 lb behemoth !!!

hopefully this generates some nice paychecks for the football program

Still time for the Zips to get a nice sponsorship. This D11 school did it but supposedly the NCAA hasn't approved it yet.

if anyone is interested. the OOC teams we face are ranked top 59.

Any feedback?

I don't know if anyone cares or not Malcom is having a great game for the Falcons tonight. I didn't notice him before the fourth quarter playing defense i thought i saw him on special teams though. Start of the fourth quarter he had a tackle and then an interception at the goal line but replay overturned. It was a nice play but his foot game down out of bounds. He was on field goal block and came relatively close to blocking the field goal (at least it looked like it) and the kicker missed it. Then the next series Falcons forced Denver to punt and Malcolm tackled the guy instantly as soon as he got the ball at like the 11 or 12 yard line. He may make the roster for special teams at least but even at that I think it would be great for the program and recruiting MAYBE to be able to say look at Malcom Dewalt straight from the Zips to the NFL ...! Sidenote Nunnally was released by the Falcons in June and was listed as a free agent as of today.

Here is the breakdown for the offense same article... https://substack.com/home/post/p-208705604

Here is a breakdown of the defense that saw today if anyone is interested.... https://akronzippedup.substack.com/p/akron-zips-football-2026-preview-ade

maybe if they played that position they could hilltopper.... bivens is not and has never been an edge rusher. has nothing to do with him being a walkon my point was that the guy picked someone that doesn't even play that position. the whole point to him being on the show was that he was representing himself as an expert and providing insight. he was caught off guard and randomly named someone. but you can defend him all you want. i can admit when i am wrong and honestly it isn't that big of a deal. you can keep coming at me all you want. the man was caught off guard and picked someone randomly. not very professional. that's my point. i hope you feel better.

this is off topic... i never heard of this young man but his story his good and he still promotes a lot of zips football.. i thought some of you may enjoy it jawon chisholm message: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbn-uMpRO2X/?igsh=YzYxMWc3ZnNueGE5

72, I am not attacking him personally. Never met him appreciate what he does, just stating that was a crazy answer and in my opinion his assessment lost some value for this years team. Especially if he has been at practices at watching. I know what I think happened, he wasn't prepared for the question and was caught off guard and just tried to throw a name out there... that's just what I think happened, but if I am watching that video as an honest zip fan hoping to gain insight and I hear that I just think I wasted my time is my point. and when others try to justify that by sarcasm and that he his the play by play guy and watches practices and has insight well again I can guarantee that either Mr. Skoczen was wrong on this, Bivens will not be complimenting Durham as the other edge rusher, unless of course he meant complimenting him when he comes off the field and telling him how good of a job he did. Then I stand corrected.

exit I will guarantee you ANYTHING that this play by play guy is WRONG !!!!!!!! ANYTHING you name it and I will bet... just admit that he could be wrong. Bivens is not and has never been an edge rusher... never practiced there in there two years... IF he has been to ANY practices he would surely be talking about OMARI ABOR... Maybe talk about the guy who actually plays edge rusher and was at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY??? not look down at the roster and pick the first name you see and name a walk on fifth string defensive tackle????

This Skoczen guy lost ALL CREDIBILITY when he was asked who compliments Durham on that edge position and his response was, "Ah, Amari Bivens a redshirt freshman from last year." Seriously??? That is your answer? A walkon DEFEENSIVE TACKLE? How about an actual edge rusher? Abor is going to be an unstoppable force this year I am predicting him to be First or Second Team All MAC, maybe at least name Kurtis Waye or that you expect Dahvon Frazier to step up in his second year at the position? But to name a red shirt walk on defensive tackle???? oi vay....

Does anyone know if the scrimmage this Saturday will be open to the fans???? I know they scrimmage this saturday and next....

this guy is off the hook....

i personally am already excited about the season. I can't wait. I know we are not the only undefeated team in the MAC right now but i think we may catch some teams by surprise. I think this defensive line is going to be better than last year and I think they are really going to get pressure on the qbs. Tibs is a great coordinator and I think this publicity is only the beginning. ZIPS are going from bowl ban to bowl bound... stamp it !!!

After watching the AJ Hawk part, I think someone from the McAfee show winning would be absolutely incredible. Like the one cast member said, they would come down a couple days get to know the players... the coverage and publicity would be INSANE !!! Might not be as easy to set up a tailgate party as I thought it was going to be all summer now !!!

You know there is going to be a LOT of buildup around that very first play call and when it is called. Guarantee all over every sports network. Whatever the call is it will be all over ESPN and everywhere... "Well you wanted to be the OC of a Division 1 football program and you got to call the first play, here it is...."

Kreed is on to it. Now is the time to push the jersey sponsorship. That is a goldmine just sitting there waiting to be had with all this publicity ! Strike while the iron is hot !!!

Now honestly when, in any of your lifetimes, has Akron Zips been referred to as "America's Team' ??????

this thing has got so big. I was on the drive home from work and the local sports radio station.( not the Akron market). was even talking about this how genius of an idea it is and how they are even going to watch the game now to see how it all turns out they spent about 15 minutes talking about it, which is incredible.

barstool video said that zips will do a press conference to announce the winner and do a press conference before the game and after the game and that the "OC" will be on the field with a headset...
