Blue & Gold

I'm opened to having my opinion changed, but I'm against NIL for competitive balance. I'm all for the free market, but in a closed system/zero sum game (especial regarding sports as entertainment) you want competitive balance. NFL & NBA have salary caps so that small market teams (G5's & ~90% of P5's) can compete with the large market teams (~top 10% of P5's). This makes for a better product (NBA, NFL). I know, I know, I could have added 20 caveats to the post above. But that's my concern in a nutshell. There's not much competitive balance as is, but now I think there will be even less. P.s. As an aside, college athletes are supposed to be amateurs. They're already receiving a free education worth thousands upon thousands of $$$. Plus the athletes get a number of plush perks regular students don't.

They had one a couple of weeks ago at the Pro Football HOF. Did you go to that one? Did anyone on ZNO? I was a bit surprised no one posted about it on here.

Looks like 7 Zips coaches will be in attendance, including JoeMo & Groce. Anyone going to this?

Possibly a sign of desperation?

Man, does Griffin look tough! I'm betting grades were his issue, as someone subtweeted this question to him after he tweeted about his offer from Akron:

LOVE the matte blue helmets!... but I also love the white... and I love the gold, which is classic. We need all three!!!

I had a nice time. Went with some friends. Nice crowd of nice people. I can't complain. And our logo is better than GT's 😤

😂 I see how that could be easily mistaken for a 205 lb. LB. But, yes, he is a WR. His weight is 205 LB lbs.

St. Ed’s Michael Kilbane committed to Northwestern.

I know they were JUCO signees, but it still feels so strange being in year #2 and losing 10 seniors. Coach Sabo's got a lot of work to do. I'm still going to the Georgia Tech game tomorrow night. Go Zips!

Agreed. I think it's perfect as is. It's classic, timeless, and should age with grace.

Classic logo. Tha’s the Flying A from the 80’s. I didn’t like the 90’s Flying A as much, but that’s when they also changed our gold to yellow, which didn’t help it at all.

I'm going to the GT game.

When we build our new downtown arena maybe we'll have different floors for every jersey du jour 🤔

They are going to repaint the floor. I hope they stick with the design shown. That is the most gorgeous basketball court mine eyes have ever seen 😍😍

I would like Arizona’s A better if it were just the red A ^^. Ours is better 💯💪😤

On my phone now, but the RubberDucks are already using the new A in their advertisement of the Zips game at Canal Park next Monday evening vs. Georgia Tech. No cost for admission. Sounds like fun!

One of their lead “Zips” stories is about McKinley LB Josh Chandler still looking for his first D-1 offer. Today, Josh Chandler is in the TP as a graduate of WVU 😂
