OK, that's truly amazing. Most people in Akron couldn't do that let alone eastern NY. Maybe he's knowledgeable about the Zips since we've played Army a few times now. Or maybe he has some other connection to the Zips program, but he probably would have mentioned that. Or maybe he's an NFL junkie, fantasy league player, NFL video game player etc. that knows all the stats on all the players but it would still be tough to reel off the players from one school like that. I'm impressed. Enjoy the trip.Well maybe, I think it's great that there was someone who recognized former Zips in the NFL, but Jason Taylor is pretty well known regardless (as an NFL fan I could tell you Tony Romo palyed at Eastern Illinois, same for most of the big name palyers who went to less well known schools) and Green played for Jets for a long time and Hixon and Blackburn both for the Giants so in Eastern NY maybe not quite so amazing. If he could have come up with Andy Alleman and James Black, I would have been really impressed. Someday we'll get there - I look at the strides the program has made since I was there and I do beleive anything is possible. Most of the teams in the MAC are exactly what they have been for the last 40 years, only Buffalo and Akron have made big leaps recently.Since you mention it, he did stick with the NY teams plus Jets rival Fins...and he omitted Dwight Smith, Charlie Frye, Jake Schifino and Ed Kregenow If the Captain goes back for more beer he can refer him to this Wikipedia list:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akron_Zips_fo...ayed_in_the_NFLI hadn't realized Matt Cherry is still in the league but has never gotten in a game (not even as a cleanup KR?)
