  1. ouch... kinda harsh. I would agre that Biggs is a good back, but he is an even better person. A true champion at heart. I wish him well for the rest of his life and that he scceeds in whatever he does and wherever he deos it. Next year we will win. Next year is no differet nthan any other year. We had a QB and a linebacker/DE go to the NFL and we are winning this year. Inconsistant you say? YES! But, we are winning and have put ourselves in a simlar situation to last year. Go Zips... FRYE the turkeys i mean eagles!
  2. i say he is the best fit person for the job with all of the mo that has been created and all that is gonig on at UA. He can carry on what MT left and even escalate it since he can assess the strengths and weeknesses that MT was not able to see within the day to day business operations. Let him work toward his masters degree and put that in his contract he must have it completed within three years. If he tries to leave beforehand, make him payback the funds owed that payed for the education. I think this allows him to complete the degree in ample time and still get the job. Why lose a top candidate that already knows the diretion we want to go to a piece of printed paper? WAR Waddell!
  3. very impressive... Coach Lolla and Sanchez seem do recruit verty well with their ODP conections. It nice having exposure acros the United States and even internationally. The best quote is... "To put it in perspective, the top-ranked college football team is Southern Cal. In April, North Carolina won the national championship in men's basketball. Texas is top ranked in college baseball. And, Akron is ranked first in men's soccer. That's how good the Zips are." What a great way to put it!
  4. Since you said "please": NICE!
  5. NOW No. 1 Akron (16-0-1, 5-0-0 Mid-American Conference) We won a close game to Kentucky this afternoon 1-0. Great atmosphere, almost 1,300 in the crowd, and i loved the kids halloween contest theme for halftime! Great job UAM! Has there ever been a team go the entire regular seaon without any losses? Out last game is @ Indiana on Thursday. Start time 7:00! Go zips! FEAR THE ROO! (on a side note... whoever came up with 'Fear The Roo' is a genius)
  6. There were troops from the nation on hand! Our crowd was great; they were loud and even had about 45 students make the trip and went over and harassed the BGstd folks during the 4th quarter! It was awesome!. ON TO BALLS TATE!

  8. He will not miss the season! He was sophmore status last year, so he would be a junior in his next year of eligibility anyway. Whether it is this year or next he will be a of junior status. the only way possible is to get a redshirt for him this season in which case he would be a redshirt junior next year. Would this not be correct?
  9. Please don't say Akron U. The school is 'The University of Akron', or for short you can say 'UA', :angry: not U of A, that would be The University of Arizona i believe, thank you for your time. Tell all of your friends too!
  10. Maybe LG has been promised the job for the entire season and next season as well. John F. should transfer out if he's not being given a fair chance to play. If I were a potential Akron recruit reading this I would think twice about coming here. A true Zips fan would NEVER say this. Why would you say something like that against your own school? dumbass
  11. i saw the spot light entrance.... and there were door prizes, i got a call saying i won an all-access cstv 1 year online membership from GoZips.com. did you register in the lobby on the way in like i did? i did not go on the Purdue trip but did go on the rest of the bus trips. I got sandwiches, cookies, pretzles and bottled water and even bambams and pompoms at some games too. it seems that the purdue trip wasn't that bad according to others. either way GoZips!
  12. don't count on seeing him at QB
  13. i received mine last week in the mail and also someone handed the card to me at a soccer match last week. maybe you guys should also attend some other events and not expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. if you support some other sports besides just men's bball and football you may actually see the promoting efforts.
  14. There is a live gametracker feed of this game for those of you that want it! Just go to the link below, scroll down to the akron game clock gametracker. Good Luck Zips and vanquish the Red Storm! http://redstormsports.collegesports.com/sp...ccer-sched.html ... and
  15. Yea, I noticed that. Still, they are out there making @$$#$ of themselves trying to get people up and cheering. Sounds like a pretty sweet "Incentive Package" UA has put together to be an AK-ROWDIE. Nice job UA! I've never seen the student section so loud (except late last year). Even though it is Basketball only, I hope they keep coming to the football games. Need this to keep up for a few years until the legacy of students sitting on your @$$ is history. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!
  16. funy thing is that this is just "buzzz"... AK-ROWDIES doesn't even start until basketball season! www.AK-ROWDIES.com. I cannot wait... i will be there on October 14th at 8:00 pm for registration... i cannot wait!
  17. FINAL SCORE: Akron Wins! 3-0
  18. i do what i can! Viva La ZipsNation! 14:00 to go..... still 3-0. these announcers are really kissing our butts on-air. Maybe they hope the football team is listening and will take it easy on them tomorrow for homecoming! I think not!
