GoZips88

I EXPECT the Zips to cruise! Really enjoying the season so far. A lot of talent deep into the bench. KD is able to shuffle nine different starters into the game, show teams different looks and styles of play, and keep guys fresh. Looking forward to tonight's game. Go Zips!!!

The Vest!

Well, I guess TW can be excused for not attending the NC A&T b-ball game last night (... and I don't think he was at the YSU game Monday night either). VERY excited about the hire. Should help with recruiting and butts in seats immediately (instead of wait-and-see). Go Zips!

Maybe?!? What a beautiful goal by Speas. 1-0 UNC with 23 minutes to go.

Definitely pulling for the unseeded 49ers over UCLA/UNC winner. I hope UCLA takes down UNC.

Latest text message at 12:20p STRONGLY suggests a "crap down the leg" emoticon be readied - GP1 beware!

More to chew on ... Txt msg 1 @ 11:20a: Tressel on campus. Txt msg 2: ESPN Cleveland 850AM Tressel very interested in job. Akron willing to accept any penalty(ies) from NCAA.

0 shots on goal by IU. I REALLY wish Coastal Carolina had been able to find a way to knock off UNC. Oh well.

Clayton Moore maybe? "Get in line Clayton. We're not dilly-dickin' around - we're in no mood for it!"

Rob Ianello, Tom Wistrcil, Zip Watcher. Who's next in line to walk the plank?

I'm looking forward to a "Captain's Log - 2011 Year-End Summary"

2011 Akron Zips Football, brought to you by ...

I'm hanging on the word "RELEASED" in that rumor. I'm HOPING that means "You walk away with your two years of pay and no more; we release you from a 3-year assignment elsewhere within the University (purgatory)." Both parties shake hands and walk away from each other.

Ticket prices are .... $35 General Admission $45 Upper Chairback $70 Lower Chairback $155 Floor $5 per ticket handling fee

Caleb prefers playing at night but 7PM start time sucks for those of us thinking about making the trip.

I believe he may have. He believes in leaving no chain unyanked you know. Later today he may be posting another message on the SMU board just to rub a little salt in the wound. Mission accomplished. From the SMU message board: That was one serious beat down. If Akron hadn't fallen asleep there towards the end of the game the final score would have more accurately reflected how badly we got our rear ends waxed. I love it when someone is able to swallow their pride in favor of the truth. Thank you SMU fan.

IF we do have to play in Charlotte next Sunday, make it a package deal and overnight somewhere before heading into Morgantown Monday night for men's basketball!

+1 big time They bookended an otherwise very disappointing 4-day stretch. Even Lady Zip win over Howard was a bit of a downer as they should not have struggled like they did against them. Thank you Caleb and the boys. Really came to play tonight. Really got after the ball and the game really shouldn't have been that close if we finish a couple more of those opportunities.

Come on NCAA ... you know you want it ... money monEY MONEY!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Give us that home game and give Charlotte a taste of NCAA medicine!

I thought we got a helluva bracket. Easy drive to Charlotte straight down I-77 from Akron. Hope it's an early-afternoon game time if we have to play down there.

It's next Sunday and my source was pretty sure it would be in Akron the way things worked out tonight.

<Edited> Damn it ...
