Captain Kangaroo

Can you see UA hiring a 60 year old Californian who sported a 4-8 record in 2011? I can't imagine it. The couch-ridden UA fan base would be in an uproar.

I agree with you about seeing more of Gilliam. He's getting very frustrated and finding it hard putting on a zips uniform. Then it's a good thing he isn't a Zips football player.

2001? Who knew? I'm getting old, I guess. Fresno did tread some water at an elevated level for a couple years after Carr, but lately, my point stands that Hill's magic has pretty-much disappeared. While Boise has kept on rolling. 2, 4-win seasons out of the past 6 3 lower-tier bowl losses out of the past 4 appearances (granted, one more win than OU) The guy is obviously a good coach, but his best days appear to be behind him. I think it would be like the Vikings picking up Donovan McNabb. The Celtics picking up Shaq. Stats, schmatz...his better days are behind him.

Doesn't appear to be a productive thread. The mob has spoken.

I heard that comment. It cracked me up too. #45 for Norwayne is a player. Put him anywhere on the field and he'll impact the game. I loved how patient he was going through his progressions. He was a beast running the ball, and no single d-lineman could sack him. His strength in the pocket reminded me of Roethlisberger. Maybe his best College position is LB, but I'd give him a look at QB.

Why has Fresno State eroded since David Carr left? 6-or-so years ago, I loved watching the Fresno State games on Thursday nights. They were as fun to watch as Boise State. But Boise kept up the pace, and Fresno State regressed. On the surface, it seems like Hill lost his magic? Maybe he's another Schnellenberger? Maybe he simply has a nice mustache like Schnellenberger?

So how does this post not violate the AUP? http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?ac...mp;f=2&id=5 Doug Snyder PM's someone to "F*CK OFF", and he's still posting? No cries from Hilltopper or DIG about any AUP violation? Where is the consistency from you guys? If you want me to ban ZipsWin!, tell me. I'll do it. Doug will go too. You guys seem to know who should post, and who should not. Just say the word. I'm waiting. If you don't want Doug or ZipsWin! banned, then shut your yaps. I'm tired of your endless Reports to the Moderators for BS superficial "personal attacks." CK

Have you ever made a post where you don't fabricate some hoard of KD bashers?

To quote Lee Corso: "Not so fast, my friend!" I want to interview multiple candidates. Winters should be one of them. Any coach from Wisconsin or Minnesota shot not be one of them. And anyone caught asking for Barry Alvarez's advice should be fired. A silver lining to Winters being overlooked again would be - It would really piss Terry Pluto off.

Better than Mike Johnson? Played pro QB for several seasons. UA alum. NFL coach for many years. Kids want to hear that they can get to the pros. Even if they have no chance of doing so. Mike's NFL connections could be HUGE in getting a higher-caliber athlete to the UA campus.

If they win this week...than I guess we should hope they win it all. Maybe getting the D-2 Champ Coach gets a little more of a buzz going in the area? We know that Pluto would be all over it.

Then why hire a new coach? Things can never change.

Every week Wayne State wins puts us 7 more days behind in recruiting. And probably add another $15k/yr in salary/win.

Jesus...we leave you guys alone for 2 f-ing hours... If you need to discuss the Tree issue further, please begin a new, race-free thread. CK.

I'll be selfish and say I hope he's back by the CSU game. Otherwise, Gary Waters will wax us by 30.

"Quote of the Week" nominee.

Every college coach preaches 1,000 times in his career -- "Nothing good happens after 12am." We'll see what transpires... BTW - Hartville has DJ's? It seems the news report's accuracy may indeed be questionable.

VERY happy for Brian! He was really the only consistent bright spot for the Zips in 2011. Unless you want to include our kicker.

Jason Taylor was recruited by Faust. Both Taylor and Smith were defensive guys. Winters was Offensive Coordinator.

+1 That's what I've come to love about Akron basketball since I came to the university two years ago. Not only do we win, but we do it with high standards unlike that school to the east. But we've never accepted transfers or non-qualifiers before. Now our team is heavy on transfers and non-qualifiers. We now have a higher ceiling, and also potentially a lower basement. Harney and Treadwell had their hands held as they gained their eligibility last season. Maybe one of them took advantage of the help and changed their lifestyle, and one fell back on his old habits once the hand-holding ended? Very disappointing.

League Rule: MAC schools are not permitted to play away games at 1-AA stadiums. YSU will not play the Zips unless it is a home-home. The Zips have offered to host YSU, and YSU has declined. End of story. If this was such a rule, please explain to myself and ALL YSU fans why Ball State is playing an AWAY game at Illinois State (same conference as YSU) in the next two seasons??? Because Ball state asked for an exception because they couldn't find FCS schools willing to play them. eguins - Can you please do me a favor and forward this reply to "All YSU Fans?" Is email offered in Mahoning County yet?

We could hire a staff of Knute Rockne, Bear Bryant, Vince Lombardi and Eddie Robinson and we won't be competitive until Year #3. We were down 68-5 to WMU in the 3rd quarter...lost 51-10 to a 3-9 Buffalo team...lost 35-3 to Can't...down 49-0 at the half to Cincinnati...there's no 2-year plan to turn this Program around.

Any clown can hire the most-familiar name they hear. After the name "Tressel," no other "name" carries any weight in Akron Ohio. Pelini? Polian? Bowden? Have all three of them walk through downtown Akron for 10 days, wearing one of those "HELLO MY NAME IS" stickers on their shirt, and see if one person recognizes them.
