  1. Bold prediction. Mr shades of grey.
  2. I remember when Larry Shyatt was an assistant at Akron. http://www.gatorzone.com/basketball/men/bi...mp;staff=shyatt
  3. Great post GoZips! I'm starting to think that the sixth man might be Q's best chance to make a big impact for the Zips.
  4. I had Flossie for class, we watched movies all day. My Flossie highlight was being awakened by him hitting the floor because he fell out of his chair as he struggled to pass a kidney stone. The best part of this story? During conditioning he wouldn't let his players get water because "water is for the weak". So during this kidney stone passing, Flossie screams out, hurry somebody get me something to drink, I need some water! Antonio Pittman screams out "Hell no Flossie, water's for the weak remember!" Funny stuff, but he was obviously in a lot of pain, they had to take him out in a stretcher. I think we were watching "Patriot" with Mel Gibson that day, Tim learned a lot from the Babe.
  5. I would imagine that we may find out more tonight about who is coming and going.
  6. This kind of action by Flossie is not anything new. He has been guilty of this before and was a big reason he was fired at Barberton. He really is a mean spirited, grumpy, old man. His quote from the first article "over my dead body" showed that. But yeah, nothing new from him. You should have met his old man, Babe. I had him for health class. We watched movies everyday.
  7. I had to go downtown this morning so I stopped by the Info and took a look at the scoreboard. All I can say is I hope that Zach is not an engineering major. If he is I have no faith in what's being taught to our engineering students.
  8. You forgot the smilies again....or http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?s=...st&p=140166
  9. I would imagine that every component of the scoreboard is designed for use outdoors. If your so concerned, perhaps you should contact someone at UA.
  10. The back of the scoreboard that faces Exchange street is only made of canvass. More tilting at windmills, huh?
  11. At the beginning of the year there were lots of "Oh No" moments when Q was on the floor. By the end of the season those had turned into "Oh Yes" moments for the most part. I think the latter will be more on exhibit next season.
  12. Give it a rest. Find another hobby for the summer.
  13. If you look in the 2010/2011 media guide on Gozips.com under coaching and support staff you will find a photo. Cole Pittis
  14. Maybe your friends kid? Rob Senderoff
  15. Why isn't D'Orazio listed on the roster?
  16. If serious questions are asked, TW will put on his serious face, I guarantee it. Where did you find that!
  17. Apparently the greatest QB that never player for the Zips. Stuebenville Thunder Highlights
  18. Got me on that one!
  19. Nevermind. Not worth it. Did you go yesterday? I did and it made sense to hold it in the fieldhouse. There was a deluge of rain immediately prior to the start of the game. I had to walk past the INFO and the field was like a swamp. http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...es_final_s.html http://www.ohio.com/sports/119996469.html
  20. I don't understand at all. American Football has always been played in all weather conditions. There was no lightning, just some rain and it was a little cool. Why WIMP out and move indoors?! For the fans. Who wants to watch a glorified practice in the pouring rain?
  21. Quite a showing by the Offense in the first half. 47-11 Three touchdowns and a field goal. All three QBs looked good and the running game showed some signs of life. The one player that stood out the most was #44 Jawon Chisholm. He showed some good speed and a good instinct for where the hole was. He was the starter and I can see why. The Defense had a couple of good stops, but no one player stood out. Overall I feel a little better about where the Zips are headed.
  22. Stark County POY Nyles Evans is considering going the Prop-48 route at Akron. What is Prop 48? Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the route that Demetrius Treadwell and Nick Harney have going right now. Basically if you have academic issues qualifying you come in for a year and pay your own way while trying to get your grades up. You aren't allowed to practice with the team or anything like that, but if you make the grades after one year then you still have your normal five years to play four. On the plus side, Evans could be a very nice backup PG behind Abreu in a couple of years once he would be (hopefully) eligible. From what I can find at the NCAA website, there is no such thing as Prop 48 any longer. You are either a qualifier or not. There used to be a category called partial qualifier, that doesn't exist any longer. Treadwell and Harney were not qualified to get scholarships, but they did have good enough grades to enroll at UA. They are paying their own way this year. Once they complete their freshman year, they would in theory, be eligible for a BB scholarship.
  23. One of the offensive lineman is taking the same class as my daughter this semester. He told her today that the Lone ranger is pretty good and he hopes he is the starting QB this fall. He is meshing well with the other O-lineman and seems to be the better QB.
