  1. I also feel the play calling was bad. Rogers isn't the QB you call most of those plays for, and I don't think he was comfortable with it. We'll see as the year goes on, but let's just hope Akron can recover and beat CMU.On a positive note we scored 3 TDs and
  2. lot 9 drummer! possibly if my dad lets me bring my drum haha
  3. I never said anything about CJ not being able to get the job done this year, all I meant to do was say that I think we need to find a better QB for the years to come. The Zips had their moments yesterday, they looked pretty decent against a top 10 team.
  4. I just watched BYU knock off #3 Oklahoma. Max Hall had an unbelievable drive, 70+ yards and it lead to a touchdown. BYU has had some great QB's in the past couple years: Max Hall, John Beck, etc.... Nearly EVERY year they are competing and knocking off BCS schools. Same thing with all these great teams having great QB's: Florida- Tim Tebow, OU- Sam Bradford, Texas- Colt McCoy, and others. All of these QB's have smarts. The smarts allow them to use their arm, or their speed, or their accuracy correctly. No, this is not a JD or Jacquemain bashing thread. I respect and appreciate all they do. I just think it's time to get a true QB. Football is becoming more about speed again, even though size helps. OSUcks has Pryor, Penn State has Clark, and Florida has Tebow. Speed isn't everything and Bradford and McCoy are showing that also. Jacquemain doesn't have the smarts these guys have, he doesn't have the speed or arm they have. I know we aren't recruiting on the same level as these schools, but I think we can do better than what we have.Now I would like to see what Jacquemain can do this year, because I do think he has improved, but for the future, it would be nice to know who our QB is for 4 years. Now let's go ZIPS! Fix everything that needs to be fixed and take care of Morgan State.
  5. HAHA this is so funny! A friend of mine went to Can't State last year, and just transferred and is going to Coastal Carolina now! Go CC!
  6. 1) Bowser slant towards the middle. 25 yards.2) Alex Allen up the middle. 25 yards.Edit: But since I'm under age and hate beer, I would like to request a pop.
  7. My family and I talked to a few players and one of them mentioned that they were looking at a few other schools including OU, but that Akron's campus was nicer and easier to get around (OU is apparently too spaced out). He also mentioned the stadium was a big factor in his decision. GREAT job today though. VERY impressed with the stadium and how the event was run. It was fun just to walk around and the fact that they let you walk on the field was awesome. PUMPED FOR THE MORGAN STATE GAME! GO ZIPS!!!!
  8. I have been PUMPED for a while! Zips sports are back! I'm already working on a new hat for my outfit. Let's show South Florida how to FEAR THE ROO! Let's Go Zips! Oh and can we get a "National Champs" sign for these forums?
  9. I say build it in Memorial's/JAR's place; keep everything on campus, make it look like a TRUE college campus. If you want to make it bigger and use it for more things, place it somewhere with space, but keep it still close to campus. Just my $0.02.
  10. Maybe they could use some of the Michigan NCAA Tourney footage/pictures. Or work their way up from the coaches and moments and then get to Dambrot and show possibly last years tourney game. They should also use the song that the MAC used to show all the MACC memorable moments (sorry I forget the name). Just adding on to your suggestion, but you have to have, somewhere in there, WE ARE
  11. I said "other". I want Hunter, but I think we should look around for an experienced AD. I don't want the next "rising star" because they could just be using us as a stepping stone then jump ship for another bigger college. If we can't find anyone with experience and that will stay, I like Hunter.
  12. My requirements are simple:1. If they are doing a good job, they stay at Akron2. They need experience in the AD field.
  13. It sure is an interesting thing to think about. Personally, even if he had gone to Akron to play football, and even if he would have indeed been an NFL-caliber TE/Receiver, I'm not thinking that one player at that position could have made Akron a top-20 team.However, I think it would have been very possible for him to have impacted Akron basketball enough to make us a top-20 team.I would say if he played on our basketball team, he'd make us a top 5-10 team; maybe even national championship caliber.
  14. I was there. My dad, my uncle, and I all sat on the home side. We were closer to the top, around the middle. At times, you could barely see the field. Greatest game at the Rubber Bowl I've ever seen there in my 14 year life. We left in the 3rd quarter; the cold found my skin even though I had like 5 billion layers on, not to mention the hand and feet warmers I was holding. What a great game; the Frozen Turkey Bowl. Go Zips!
  15. MAC East title, but don't get me wrong, I think we can win the MAC Championship game.
  16. Heard that interview, too. Great interview. The two Big East teams for 2011 got my attention; sounds like Akron has been doing some work. They also talked about how much the stadium is helping recruiting and that this is the best recruiting class in a while. Sounds good. I liked what I heard.
  17. This looks sweet!!!!! Consider the calendar marked!
  18. http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/article.php?id=9547I guess we'll see how this works out.
  19. Can't knows their run is over. They also know Akron's run is just beginning. Can't is just sad. Good job Can't. Way to try to copy a top 50 recruit.
  20. http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/article.php?id=9510I think it's a pretty good article. GO ZIPS!
  21. I started going to Zips games when he was just starting. I was about 1-2 yrs old. I loved watching Ball, George Phillips, Bruce Weinkein, Klaas Zolner, and others playing back in the mid-late 90's. Favorite all time memory of that group was all of the Can't State games. The place was always packed... everyone was always screaming... and Can't State still sucks. Bruce Weinkein was my best friend back then. My mom always tells the story of how one Halloween I asked to be him. I wore that jersey she made me to every game. I was actually on the news. Bruce and I got to know each other really well. He would take me into the locker room and I got everyone's autograph on a basketball. One Christmas, he even gave me a game worn jersey. I hear he's doing well in Arizona where he lives. Anyways, those were good times back then. The days now kind of remind me of back then. The players and fans have a tight connection again. The only thing different is that the AK-Rowdie's section now, was called "The Pouch" back then. Good times, good times. Go Zips!
