Blue & Gold

I'm taking a group of around 10 tonight. I hope it's a good showing from the Zippers.

GoZips dot com Tennessee State game preview Jimond Ivey is only 6 points shy of 1,000 for his career.

Here is an inspiring read from Marla Ridenour. New UA football coach Tom Arth disdained Peyton Manning's advice, but still on track to fulfill his prediction

GT's written a really good article here. George Thomas: New coach Tom Arth will look north to help bolster recruiting Got me pretty excited about the future of Zips football. Also gave me a lot of respect for Kato. Not only did he suffer a high ankle sprain, but he also had to have post-season surgery on a torn meniscus which he played on during the final four games of the season. His quotes in this article display great maturity and a team-first attitude. Much impressed. Go Zips!

And here... we... go

[sigh] It's 4:04 and there is nothing on the GoZips stream yet. [double sigh]

Think we may hear some of the names of the staff Coach Arth is putting together?

Thanks, Let'sGoZips. That's what I thought it looked like, but then I wondered why they would feel it necessary to designate "(m)" when it's an article expressly concerning MEN's soccer. Lol.

Okay, stupid question, but here it goes... What do the "(m)" stand for?

That sucks. He was a good one. Muck Fiami. Go Akron!

Here is a video of Jalen Bell courtesy of 247 Sports. 24/7 notes that he is undersized at only 5'11," (but he weighs 280) but that he is, "quick, high-motored, and good with his hands..."

Noah Robotham Prior to his knee injury, Noah was the 2nd best freshman guard I've ever seen play at UA. Jimmal Ball would be my #1. But that was due to Ball's athleticism. Noah is the most mature, composed true freshman I've ever seen.

I think you're right. IIRC Saturday night games used to be rare; special occasion only. I remember back in the day when Jimmal Ball dropped 44(?) on Purdue I missed the first half of the game due to it being in the afternoon. But I would prefer if the games were played at 7:00. Makes for a fun night.

LZip, do you have a link to this info?

Michael Beaven: UA men's basketball Zips fall 75-74 to Thundering Herd "The game came down to rebounding. Point blank, we lost today because of Marshall’s outstanding offensive rebounding effort and our poor blockouts.” -John Groce

George Thomas: University of Akron athletics facing hefty buyout numbers related to football coaching changes This article reports Nebraska will be paying us $650,000 w/ another game to be scheduled for 2025.

Was he Arth's OC at John Carroll when they were so good?

The proximity of CP has to be good for Zips' soccer in some fashion, right?

Go on...

Btw, I'd flunk Recruiting 101^^ I have no idea what he means by "NLI are good for 3 days."

The timing of this is going to hurt this year's recruiting class. But, as we're all in agreement on, take the time to get this hire right.

Here is an interesting WKSU snippet from Terry Pluto () on Vince Kehres and Mount Union. Terry doesn't believe Vince will be a "Lifer" at Mount Union like his father was. In fact, Terry says Vince interviewed for the KSUcks job last year and didn't get it.
