Does this include pics stored in the members' gallery / albums? I noticed the placeholders / filenames are there but the pics don't load ... are they gone forever? Not a big deal for me but if so I will delete the remnants.. -

Position Preview (and updates) - Quarterback
ZippyRulz replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
No info now but I would guess multiple QBs will play in the first 3 games unless any of them turn out to be closer than expected. We should have some good info by then. -
Conclusion: MAC schools are bringing in MAC-caliber players..

Basketball practice facility (and more) coming
ZippyRulz replied to jupitertoo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
With conferences marching upward to 24 members, the backfills have to come from somewhere. To the extent the MAC is near the bottom rung, we could all be out of the MAC at some point.. -
He doesn't sound real optimistic... I love me some sandbagging.. 😄

Hope he's OK. He and JoeMo just missed head-coaching against each other in the SEC a few years ago. They'll get the chance on Oct. 15.

I go back to the 80s with the Zips and have never seen that one so I'm guessing it must be 70s or earlier.

https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/135/4/675/4663773 I randomly learned from a podcast recently that the use of iodine to treat and prevent goiter was first trialed in Akron schoolgirls, leading to the iodized table salt we know and love today.

Basketball practice facility (and more) coming
ZippyRulz replied to jupitertoo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
It looks very reminiscent but seems like something's missing... 🤔 -
A brand like the PAC won't just suddenly vanish from college sports (as a lot of people seem to anticipate happening). Unless all of their members get suspended, like with the old Southwest Conference (not likely)
-
will look even better with a big crowd around it. now on to the basketball court 👍
-
Per the article, we averaged a 17 point deficit to MAC opponents. We could close the gap by 2 touchdowns per game and still be losing. Nothing given, everything earned. That said, I'll take the over 2.5 wins at Draft Kings.

Maybe they're going to keep it covered up and have a big unveiling right before the September 1 game(?)

And shouldn't one of the MAC logos face the other way?

Early 2022 Two Deep Depth Chart - Defense
ZippyRulz replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
https://theathletic.com/podcast/97-the-audible-with-bruce-and-stew/ It's the June 9 podcast, near the end (starting around the 1-hour mark) with guest writer Max Olson relating some coaches' comments. The problem being if good players get too much attention around spring practice, before the transfer deadline. -
Early 2022 Two Deep Depth Chart - Defense
ZippyRulz replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
I heard on a podcast that coaches are hesitant to put out depth charts because it telegraphs who their best players are (or are going to be), making them targets for poaching / transfer. So maybe it's good that we're just left to speculate..
