No. It is totally handled amongst players.

2011 College Cup location
Captain Kangaroo replied to ZachTheZip's topic in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer
If I'm not mistaken it was in Columbus a few years ago. But NC was nice as well (even though the weather didn't cooperate)! If that's the case, I'm impressed that they'd choose a cold weather site. It's true... 2003: Indiana 2-1 St. John's Columbus, Ohio Columbus Crew Stadium If the weather was bad, would they have moved the Championship to Northwestern? -
Reggie Bush Heisman Trophy Given Back
Captain Kangaroo replied to GP1's topic in Akron Zips Football
Well said. Southern Cal is still layered in slime. The untainted players for USC have not yet been born. Do you mean USC or the NCAA? I think it is the NCAA that is layered in slime. The NCAA is akin to making sausage. The average Joe couldn't handle watching sausage production...but the end-product is absolutely delicious and everyone enjoys it. I absolutely love everything about a college game day. And Reggie Bush or Miles Brand can't ruin it for me. -
Wow... a 7pm game time for an SEC tilt? There are going to be some SEVERELY drunk Wildcat fans at that game.

OK... what team do you consider 1-AA: K.e.n.t. or Eastern Michigan? The MAC is a weak conference. LIke ITZ state -- JD's last couple recruiting classes were solid. They just came too late to save him. The Zips should compete for a MAC East title this season.

Obviously Joe Montana is a dirtbag dad.

I thought it was well done. I like the fact that they highlight the $15 price, and the opener against Syracuse. Negative: I think they could have shown some 2009 tailgating footage. People who haven't attended a Zips game have no clue that Zips tailgating is/was as festive as it is/was. ZipsFest footage wouldn't have been bad either. Selling only the game misses some key elements of the overall game day experience. Overall Grade: B

Coach porter joins Twitter

I can't wait to hear if he gets his car washed, or if his cat gets worms. Twitter rules. -
2010-2011 Basketball Schedule
Captain Kangaroo replied to zippyman23's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Check this out. I like what read on his page. Apparently what ever he said was not for public consumption. Its blocked from view. Please let us know what he said. If it is private, he probably shouldn't post it. -
2010-2011 Basketball Schedule
Captain Kangaroo replied to zippyman23's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
True. When I think of Cedrick Middleton I see him face down on The Q court with clenched fists. And when I think Nate Linhart I see him holding the Championship trophy. The NIT wins trump the CBI loss... but the NCAA berth is the king. -
2010-2011 Basketball Schedule

Under Coach Dambrot (6 seasons?), what are the Zips top 2 OOC victories? Florida State. Temple. Mississippi St. All on the road. Some varying thoughts on the those games -- Yes, they were all on the road. But I bet we would have beaten them at home too. Note: * Mississippi State was on a neutral court * It gives you some greater appreciation for how good Dials/Middleton/Joyce/Travis/Wood teams were. Since they've departed, K.e.n.t. is kicking our butt with regularity and we're O-fer on big OOC games. Record-wise, the pre- and post-2008 teams were very similar. But the pre-2008 guys were a lot better teams. Of course, the post-2008 guys have some time remaining to make up ground. With the Mississippi State win coming in 2005, I would have hoped for another couple major (BCS) regular season OOC wins since that time. One is too few. I hope this team breaks the dry spell. It will go a long way in re-awakening public interest in the hoops program. -
Clay Cameron (2010 Preferred Walkon)
Captain Kangaroo replied to ZachTheZip's topic in Akron Zips Football Recruiting
The first sentence of this piece has me wondering. "It has been nearly nine months since Tri-Valley's Clay Cameron capped a superb high football school career." I’m not sure whether to be happy the kid went to a football school or upset that apparently he was always high. I did learn something new. Had no idea walk-ons cannot start practicing at the same time scholarship players do. Also it sounds like the kid isn't sold on being a linebacker. The Minnesota Vikings drafted QB Joe Webb out of UAB this past April, with thoughts of converting him into "The Next Josh Cribbs." They gave him a token look at QB, and now he's #3 on the QB depth chart. You never know how things pan-out. I give the Cameron credit for doing whatever it takes to get his foot in the door. -

VCU will not play the Zips until 2011. -
And then they tell him to take off the pads for the second half.

Akron Ticket Depart Thanks Joe S.
Captain Kangaroo replied to TexanMark's topic in Akron Zips Football
The city and campus police are fine with it. It's the state liquor people that like to wander around that you have to keep an eye out for. Yeah... if you are under 21. There are absolutely no restrictions on drinking at InfoCision unless you have glass, or are under age. -
Patrick Nicely & Brian Wagner Pre Season All MAC
Captain Kangaroo replied to K-Roo's topic in Akron Zips Football
I mean the guy whose name is on the ballot, but who has no chance of winning. I do hope the competition makes them better. And Rodgers is key to the Zips success in 2010, because he can successfully manage a game or two if Nicely gets dinged up. It is nice to have an experienced back up. But if the Zips think they can win a championship...or even finish .500... with Rodgers playing 12+ games, they are crazy. -
Patrick Nicely & Brian Wagner Pre Season All MAC
Captain Kangaroo replied to K-Roo's topic in Akron Zips Football
Neither does this guy at CBSSportsline. You have to wonder if he contacted Razor and Razor alone on this Link Matt Rodgers is a candidate for the starting QB position in much the same way as Ralph Nader has been a presidential candidate. -
Akron Ticket Depart Thanks Joe S.
Captain Kangaroo replied to TexanMark's topic in Akron Zips Football
Mark - Please keep in mind the Zack directs visiting fans to ice cream stands when they ask about tailgating. And, he doesn't drink. There are absolutely no alcohol issues at InfoCision parking lots. The only thing frowned upon is glass. And if anyone has a glass bottle, the police are apt to simply ask that you place the contents in a plastic cup. Charcoal grills are also allegedly frowned upon... but I have yet to see that one enforced. Your fans can drink like fish and you will be fine. Please PM me with any concerns. Or post your questions here, and ignore any of Zach's responses. Both options are equally effective. -
Oratorious D.I.G reminded me of another point - He isn't working exclusively on weights and neglecting his cardio, is he? Oh that would be terrible...just terrible... For you, D.I.G.:

What if Zeke pulls a muscle weightlifting? Or drops a plate on his toe? Won't his free throw arm-motion be restricted if he gets too big? He's not spending too much time in the weight room and neglecting his classwork, is he? And what supplements is he taking...hopefully they have all been approved by the NCAA? Is he wearing a weight belt for back support? Please make sure he stretches properly before lifting...that's sooo important!

The slope of the InfoCision endzone grass is too steep for seating... Nicely broke his ankle... Zeke is transferring... Rasor has retired... what others am I missing?
