for those of you that have rivals here's a good story on akron's commitmentclick mefor those of you that don't have rivals the story compairs him to dru with a little more quickness and can score a little better. the stroy also talks about how the Steward family thinks KD isn't going anywhere soon (good news) he is also ranked as the 13th best palyer in the state of ohio!

he didn't have the grades after high school.. he was the 17th ranked wr. in the nation.. he was set to go to prep school but i think he broke his hand? and chose to take nite classes. once he got his grades up most of the big boys came back but akron never left his side! i'm sure the chance to start as a frosh didn't hurt either! the kid is a man child!

new weather updateclick melooks like it should let up by game time only to get the real rain by half time. lets hope akron puts points on the board early

nice work! i'll bring over a beer!

you are right but i think the story asks the question if luke would have stayed would he helped last season... imho luke would have been red shirted the year he transferred to akron.. the question that we should think about is ... think of what akron's team would look like had he stayed. fergy would have been the starter last year and one of the young kids probably jackson would have beat him out this year. more than likely no mcc and we are rebuilding again! thank god he made the choice he did

didn't george mason go to the final 4 last year and their center was 6'8... and look at how small Can't's elite eight team was.. if you are on the small side you need great guard play, a deep team, and athletic bigs. akron has all three and should win 25-28 games with the schedule they have. also akron's rpi will be good as (posted in other thread) road wins boost a teams rpi.

i am shooting for 1 although i am sad to say most of my crew wont arrive till 4... can't wait though!

i am as upset as the rest of you but i really think this is coming down to money. based on comments in the paper over the past 3-5 yrs. and seeing what the admin. has done in that time i am not worried about a poor product but it sounds like they'll have a hard time raising more than 60 mill. in the time frame they have set. one thing to keep in mind. in 5-10 yrs after the stadium is built the university can look at student funds again for the expansion. like most of you on this board i will wait until we see the final plans but this is what it sounds like to me....also nick is a good guy! go chi!

nice article for luke! what if he had stayed at pitt?click me

he's a senior and needs to make better reads reguardless if he's feeling heat from the d..... i think he'll come around and get well against north texas

i can't be happy with this game.... i know that luke played very well in the end but he is a senior and needs to make better decisions... i don't want to hear fans starting to say "its just luke being luke" he's better than this... oh well the games over see you at the home opener!

i take it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets get this win!

what the hell is wrong with luke???????????????????????????

if any one wants to get a team together and challange my friends and i to a berr reley... bring it one i'll be by the fence early! can't wait! some else to add to the list for the tail gate a table for food... really comes in handy

seems every one is jumping on the chestclick me rivals link

i only read on line but i do think the abj's coverage of the zips has been much better this year. i did like the article on how the wr's. need to step up for akron to win today. what page were they on?

dr. z akron runs a 3-3-5 not a 3-5-3 akron starts 3 down linemen kiki, jc, and reid... three lb's grant, stokes, and williams..... and 5 db's tate, anderson, corner, mackey, and jones and pace... wvu has that defense to stop the run as akron's d is set up more to stop the pass. they use the "bandit" aka williams as a down linemen on most third downs and mostly use mackey "rover" as a 4th lb

so the depth chart has been updated again.. not to many changes havey is finally on there and they have lindsey starting at wr. the only surprise is that henery is gone from both the two deep and the roster on gozips. com... any have an update?

love the jerseys... wonder what the home uni's will look like

i agree i don't care who anybody roots for as long as they put akron first... i am getting so sick of people talking about this can some one start a new thread for people that want to talk about non zips sports so we don't have to read it every other post?

great to see that there are a few former and current player added already! keep up the good work!

remember that akron has lower majors coming to akron in the future with iu, ku, and the cuse. also i think cincy comes to akron to. it has also been known that rhodes is trying to change akron's future schedule to include 6 home games... the point of the article is that akron needs to ave. 15k per game and they will as long as they win. the city is aware of akron progress and the article in the abj did bring attention to the public that they need to go to the games and they will (at least a game here or there) but as long as they win this year and they should akron's attentence issue will be fine

thanks

love the page! keep me in the top 8!
