Don't let the door hit you in the #@$ on the way out.

I've watched Pratt compete since he was in the 7th grade, mainly basketball because he didn't play football until his Jr year. At first I thought he might make it as a D-1 basketball player. That changed the minute I saw him play his first high school football game. It was looking like he was really a D-1 football player. He is very athletic and is not afraid to catch the ball over the middle and take some contact. He caught everything thrown to him and even though he got a lot of double coverage, he still managed to catch 39 passes for 800 yards and 8 touchdowns. I think the Zips got a good one.

Coach Bowden is such a breath of fresh air. If you remember the last coach tried to run off every player from the previous regime.

Needed more time for what? Its been clear for about 2 weeks that the Zips are the best team in the MAC.

Zeke will be back for his senior year. If you have ever met Gamechanger44, you will understand why.

Grandpas Huh?

I think whoever started that rumor has been spending too much time in the Beer thread!

It's hard to screw up a bottle of Pepsi.

The $250 for a Priority reserved includes the $100 donation to the Z-Fund. Even though they raised the price by $15, they are now giving you a $30 food voucher. The way I see it is that it is a net reduction of $15 per ticket. Seems like a good deal to me.

What ever happened to DAZIPMAN? He was the king of the old Blue Board.

I am honored to be one of the "Porkys Seven". Man does that seem like a long time ago.

It looks like Pratt is going to be a Zip.Welcome to the team, Androo!

Unless you make your order through the bookstore run by UA, you might have trouble with copyrights for the logos. I guess you could have someone make a generic AKRON jersey. I would think that an exact replica would be a problem.

I believe the fiancée is living here now.

Jimmal still returns to the Canton area every summer. I see him a couple of times a year and he is having a blast playing pro ball.

It's all about the turn overs with this team. The unforced ones in particular. It seems that every game a different player decides to play loosey-goosey with the ball. Q has progressed nicely since the beginning of the season. We can beat anybody if we take care of the ball.

Lived in the Akron area most of my life. Attended "Hilltop High" in the late 70's, never got a degree. Season ticket holder for football since 1970, basketball 1975.

Harney factor, 18 minutes, 2 points.

One more video.

Me either! His dad is a big guy too. Probably 6'7" and built like a football player.

Coach Bowden was spotted at Green HS today. Senior WR Andrew Pratt is still available.

Someone on their fan message board thinks one the advantages they have over us is their deep bench. Its one thing to play 8 or 9 guys, versus having 8 or 9 guys who could start on every team in the MAC like we have. If we don't beat ourselves by being careless with the ball, we win easily.

I must have missed Phils passing with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. For those of you who never met Phil, you missed out on knowing a great guy and one of the best Zips fans ever. There was no event that the athletic department ever held that Phil didn't attend or support. Us older guys remember Phil as the voice of the National Weather Service broadcasts from the Akron/Canton regional Airport. Phil, you will be missed. Frank Phillip Martin

He's a front runner who only shows up when he thinks it a sure win.
