Captain Kangaroo

Casteneda and Freeman need to produce. They’re being guarded hard and not getting any help, but they gotta find a way.

Portnoy looks like an oompah loompah.

Bad shooting is due to the ugly gold unis with the stick figure “A”. Bring back script Akron. 🤢

Memo to coach Groce - press Toledo.

Better than Reghi…

Unless he's better than a couple of them. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. If he can help us this season, play him. We are in "win mode" in 2022-23.

Sorta like the Zips and buckeyes last year.

From the Hard Rock Cafe in beautiful downtown Atlanta - Congrats Zips!

When Netflix creates their "Akron - The Larry Williams Years" mini series, I want Bud to get the lead role.

From the guy that broke the news that Holt would play in Game #5, I can say - if he wants to play for the Zips in 2023, he can.

I think we miss out on a ton of revenue because the JAR isn't a place for local businesses to entertain. Even for a date night...how many couples want to see a game smooshed together against Frank from Barberton on a wooden bleacher? Even Kent has a nice enclosed area where bigger-donor fans can enjoy the game. I went to the Tommy Evans Lounge once. Maybe 15 years ago. I won tickets at a golf outing. For the pregame (noon tip-off) there was a breakfast station with pancakes, eggs, etc. At 1 pm (halftime) we returned, and the same breakfast stuff was still sitting out. The blue hairs were scooping up their dried-out pancakes and trying to rehydrate them with butter and syrup. My young son wanted a soda. I poured one from the fountain dispenser and handed it to him. He gagged. There was no syrup in the dispenser. Along the front glassed-in wall were some cups of ice cream. They must have been placed on the table at noon, because they were all completely melted. The place was absolutely packed. Looked like 1984 Bulger Hall floor party, but without the kegs. I couldn't imagine an exec from Goodyear walking in there for the first time and saying "Gee...I gotta entertain our out-of-town rubber supplier VP's HERE!" I like watching games at the JAR. It is a nice home court advantage for big games. It's nice that the simpletons who banned beer at the JAR for 35 years are either dead or fired. But as far as D1 arenas go, it is completely bush league. I'd pay a lot more for a cushioned seat and a better view of the game. Hope it happens before I retire to Arizona, or croak.

Only new seats…no reconfiguration?

No. 🦘🍪👎🏼 I concur with @Loyal Zip - a fun, feel good event. Great food. Hoops will be fun in the AK again this winter!

Bump reminder.

You mean like Teon Dollard, but without the police blotter appearances.

“Jock Strap Full of Kryptonite” – Spin Doctors “Fall: Some InfoCision Blues” – Johnny Cash “I’m One-winning” – Santana “Redzone Paranoid” – Black Sabbath “You’re 4th and 1” – Orleans “Kickers Just Keep Getting’ Harder to Find” – Paul Revere and The Raiders “99 Problems (and the Zips ain’t solved one)” – Jay-Z “Negative Yardage Carry” – Til Tuesday “Smells Like Crushed Spirit” - Nirvana

Tough to get a yard with a mediocre RB, a bad OL and a run up the middle.

Worst effort by the Zips in several weeks. Offensive and defensive.

Miami gets 9 yards every 1st down. Or more

Unless it’s a 2-yard dump off on 3rd and 7

We never use the middle of the field on pass plays.

I’m with you. Zips break through big time today!

We've won 2 total MAC football games over the past 4 calendar years. We're as attractive as Rosanne Barr's puddle of barf after gagging on a dead carp. The MAC is perfect for the Zips. Any other conference has far more pitfalls than benefits.

We are obviously little more than a talent pipeline for middling Utah basketball programs.

I can't argue that Irons will hold on to the ball too long at times, and when he does the sack's on him. But how many times when he goes down was there no TE or RB in the flat to take a dump off pass? It seems all too often that he's without a safety valve.
