  1. I got to watch Big Zeke a little on Monday, I sat next to his rents but never talked to them cause I didn't want to interupt them watching and cheering for Zeke. Weight, as of right now is a none issue IMO. People are saying he needs to gain, maybe, but it wasn't like he was getting blown off the blocks or getting out muscled. Zeke held his own against some of the best players at his age level. He had a few nice put-back dunks and hit a few 10-footers, not to mention some sweet blocks on fast breaks.Zeke is a gem, he is going to fit in well with our team style of play. Which reminds me, he is a decent passer from the blocks and will only get better.Keep up the good work Zeke, looking forward to seeing you soon on the court!
  2. Just card them, if you are strict the headaches will decrease. Students will just drink at their house before they come in
  3. http://www.lvrj.com/sports/22803934.htmlTerry explains our team name origin.
  4. Nice article, the PD actually did some research. Zeke and his mom impress me everytime I read about them, what great people!
  5. I would never build around these jokers, that is exactly what they want. They can go away anytime now! We are getting good prices for our football, but will the general public know this?
  6. http://coachzlive.com/main.html (click on "videos")http://www.us.castingcallpro.com/files.php...&fuid=38468Could you see Coach D doing this?
  7. can we please close this thread? It is getting ridiculous stupid IMO. Kids in general no matter where they live are cultured and developed into young men by their parents and who they choose to associate with. It has nothing to do with where they live.JD is getting smarter every year about his recruiting and I have good feelings about where this program is going, so lets just quit this idiotic tirade about florida kids being bad and blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda!
  8. You're right AK-Zips, every friday I was at Rockin On The River in Cuyahoga Falls the Zips staff was there. They were at the 98.1 WKDD kids fest as well, so with a 4 year period it is quite possible that there were over 300 events for the caravan.
  9. Mike Waddell hired Caleb as his last duty here and at that time Mack was the AD, so call it what you want. I remember visiting Mike to wish him well and waiting because he was doing phone interviews with potential replacements for Ken. Mack signed off on the paperwork but Mike did the interviews.
  10. lol ZGG. Any new updates on Zeke? CK hasn't given us any new articles or material to flip through, I am going through Zeke withdraw here!
  11. They have this. As a season ticket holder from last year, if I get 2 people to sign up for the first year at ICS , I get a free t-shirt. If I get 5 people, I get a t-shirt, hat, and 2 tickets to the last game at the RB.For every new season ticket account referred, my name is placed in a drawing to win an all expenses (travel, hotel and game tickets) paid trip for two to the Sept. 20, 2008 game at Army.That being said...Who still needs season tickets and wants to refer me as their friend?lol, that's great news that they have the 'refer a friend' program! But the incentives that you mention suck IMO, I have probably about 40 Akron T's and 3-4 hats, give me discount on my tickets, something that goes back in my pocket. And the funny thing is I have been a season ticket holder for going on 5 years now and I haven't heard of this program which is kind of BS but I say Good Day!
  12. I don't mine 'be apart from the start' I hate the other ones you mentioned which were already used by the athletics marketing team. 'Roo Town' doesn't work because we're a city, so it doesn't make sense IMO, and 'this is your team' just doesn't get the job done. I mean who says it's my team? Are you telling me that because I live in Akron I have to root for them, I say bite me, I choose who I root for!You want people to show up to the inaugural game and to buy season tickets and to continue coming you are going to have to do a hell of alot better then mediocre one liners. Let's try and get creative for a minute, Off the top of my head:The count down on the stadium site, why is that not on the university homepage or even better on ohio.com? and when you click the link it takes you right to an online form that you can fill out and send elctronically to the ticket office.Offer New Alumni a discount, I mean they are trying to get on their feet, why not offer them a rate that increases to the normal rate over a 5 year period as long as they keep buying year after year. This way they won't feel as strapped for cash. How about a 'Refer A Friend Program', this will get current season ticket holders out there selling for you. Every person they bring in they get $10 off of there season ticket price. And yes they may get theres down to $0 but who cares they just brought in 10 new season ticket holders.that's it, more work to do, peace you sexy zip fans you!
  13. Sounds like something Rydell Brooks probably considered at some point?rydell wouldn't have made it. he can't grasp simple gun safety rules like don't at shoot people.And he couldn't hit a damn thing apparently, so he would be no good to the rifle team!!
  14. about 100 times better then the recent football add for the season tickets.Can't wait for the new soccer season, congrats to Caleb!
  15. Typical, Push out the REAL fans to make way for the corporate dollars who show up once a year. How do you think UA can say that they sell 15,000 a year? They wrap tickets in with there corporate sponsorships.
  16. I bought the founding team package as well, no mention of getting to pick my own seats though. Did you buy the Priority Reserved or Reserved package?Also, I notcied that on the stadium link, the ticket prices aren't there yet, they are on GOZips.com under tickets but not the stadium link.
  17. Yeah seriously! I would want my $$$$ too! Just curious, for future reference, is Beer an acceptable form of payment?
  18. This is absolutely outstanding! Dr. P, get that shovel out and start digging for a new soccer stadium NOW and show us that WOW I have been hearing about!
  19. This is the first statement I have seen thus far by anyone from UAhttp://www.akronnewsnow.com/news/itemdetai..._In_Court_Off_T
  20. This story is all over the place as well it should be but the most disheartening thing is that we get all of this negative attention and he hasn't even played for us. Also, hopefully this doesn't affect all the positives in and around the team right now!
  21. Great news for Cameron and Zips soccer. Good luck to him and lets hope he can be picked up for good by an MLS team.
  22. Thanks, and I think you might be right, it is pretty close to your avatar.
  23. Nice job Mike Waddell!Exactly, Mikes the man! I love you dad!
  24. he was #61 overall and #11 at his position via scout.com I believe.
