  1. Can anyone say PhotoShop? Its way to easy to manipulate digital photos to take this seriously.
  2. Z.I.P., I had forgottem all about that play until now. You gotta remember that these guys are just kids and you never know what might happen!
  3. I've started to call the column that runs in the Sunday paper that is supposed to explain why the paper does things the "Why the ABJ is always right Column". You see, the rest of us just don't get it!
  4. FYI, Heidman Inc. is Mcdonalds in the Akron area. Privately held company and big Zips fans.
  5. Just how old is that photo? Some of those companies don't exist anymore.
  6. Who A Thunk guys! 500
  7. Things are going to change at the ABJ, but will it be for better or worse? Check out this story on stafing levels in the news rooms of most papers. David Black the ABJ's new owner likens them to Country clubs where everyone sits around browsing the internet and drinking cofee.http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....&src=rss&rpc=23
  8. My understanding is the game at the JAR is set for this season. Z.I.P. I'm sure that Pitt fans will have a hard time understanding why the game is at Akron.
  9. My sources are telling me that we are in negotiations with a major program for a home and away game to start this season with the Zips being the home team. I'm crossing my fingers on this one. All that remains are the financial details. I can also report that everyone is in good physical and academic shape heading into fall semester. That includes Conyers and Wood.
  10. There was more good news today with the departure of J. Crutchfield as the publisher of the ABJ. Hopefully the new ownership will put things back in shape at the ABJ. If they write one more op-ed or story about how wonderful Cant states departing pres. is I'm going to puke.
  11. I'm sure this came as no surprise to the coaching staff. The McNees signing should of been a sign to the Zips faithful that something was going on . I agree that we need to use this to sign a big man(if one can be found!).
  12. Big Ben went head first into a windshield today. He was not wearing a helmet at the time. Kinda makes KW-2 look brilliant. At least he had on a helmet!http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9493900
  13. yep and he's campaigning for building a retractable roof on cleveland browns stadium in hopes to attract a super bowl to cleveland. He's not a very big Charlie Frye fan though. Him and GP1 should be best buddys then. BTW, Tim Couch sucked. Tim Couch!Some lessons are learned the hard way, and that is what the pre-draft workouts are for. Couch sucked in his first workout and asked for another one with the Browns. He prepared him self and did great. No wonder he was occasionally prepared in his pro-career. To compare him to Price and the Cavs that got eliminated by a one-man army is ludacris. Those guys consistently gave it their all and just barely lost in several game 7's. The only consistent thing about Couch was his inconsistency. Tim Couch could not read a defense to save his life. The only plays he made were on scrambles and hail marys. He would wait until someone was open and waving their arms in the air to throw and by the time the ball arrived so did the defender. He couldn't throw a timing pass or anything mid-range. At KU they didn't even have a play book, just drew em up on the dirt!
  14. Zac is a great guy from a nice family. His parents sat next to us during his stay at the university. He is married to a former Zips Dance Team hottie. Good luck Zac!

  16. Yeah, we wouldn't want to promote a store that could still be sell those jumping penis' Huh? How about a translation.
  17. My sources tell me that the $$$ are now in place,but there are still several pieces of property left to purchase. Until these are secured don't expect an anouncement. On of the hold outs is the Odd Corner. They seem to want to stay in the new retail that will be part of the project. Needless to say that isn't sitting well with the administration. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and things can start happening on the new stadium.
  18. So the only important qualification to be an assistant coach is to come from a "Big program". Give KD a break and let things play out before rushing to judgement.
  19. In case you haven't noticed this board is for people who are FANS of Zips sports. Not for TROLLS from Toledo.
  20. How about one like this one. I was there and it only seats 180k!
  21. After watching last nights Div. 1 semi-final game I have to say my first impression is not good. He seemed slow and disinterested. His shot selection was poor and and he threw up alot of airballs. The biggest thing was his lack of hustle. Their opponent was off to the races on every possesion yet he just plodded up the floor with no sense of urgency. His man had quite a few slams on fast breaks. Lets hope KD can light a fire under this kid.
  22. Ther is a listing in todays Canton Rep that says the Mckinley game will be on tape delay starting at 8pm on ONN. The Lancaster game is listed as starting at 9:30 pm on ONN.
  23. Chris Mcknight has been named 1st team Div 1 and Darryl Roberts has earned 2nd team honors for the 2005-2005 season. Also read what Rasor wrote in his blog about his interview with KD. Mike Bardo is a project on offense but should be ok on D. This is the type of recruiting that will make us a winner for a long time.
  24. I guess only time will tell.
