Blue & Gold

That'd be great! We're gonna need a few more LB's after this season.

Many of us swag junkies have been hoping for that for years now.

These are my feelings on the subject. I respect, and am deeply appreciative of, the way Bowden has brought this program back from the less-than-zero state of annihilation left by Ianello. But... eh... I just have the feeling Bowden's taken the program as far as he is able. I'm sure Larry Williams, being a football guy, has a short list of candidates on speed dial he's probably salivating to give a call. Having said that, if Larry Williams does make a change, we've got a number of assistants on staff who I hope the new coach would consider keeping. The #1 guy being Otis Mounds. He's been an absolute recruiting monster the last two seasons.

More profilin'.

New uni's for 2018-19 Beautiful. Me like. Blue & GOLD in the color scheme. Beautiful script Akron on chest & right leg. Zippy Fear the Roo head at drawstring. Z (literally one of the coolest logos in all of sports) on left leg.

You might be on to something there. Good point.

Thanks for posting those pictures. I can say that the west side filled out quite a bit more after that picture was taken. I couldn't see the east side as that's where I was sitting (upper GA).

You know what really grinds my gears? It's that Joe Akron was relatively out in force on Saturday. I've been waiting for 25+ years for Akron to embrace their team & I was very happy with the crowd on Saturday. GoZips.com has the game's attendance listed at 22,437. I doubt it was that high, but it was a nice crowd & the Zippers barely gave them anything to get excited about... even to the point of getting blow out... by Miami?!?!

I noticed that too. We played like crap after Davis' injury.

ABJ (GT): Miami pulls away to beat Zips 41-17 in MAC opener Van Edwards rushed for 6 yards on 4 carries. ? “Obviously, you don’t want to lose one of your best linemen,” Bowden said of Council’s absence. “We’ll have to look at the video, but I don’t know if that’s the whole thing. We’re a little bit thin there [offensive line] right now.” After six (?) recruiting classes, who's fault is that?

I've seen this plotline so, so, so many times. Nice crowd... Great weather... Zips lay an egg ?

We had 2 weeks to prepare for Miami...??

Nice crowd. We need something to get excited about.

+1. Now a long, sustained drive by Miami :/

ABJ (GT): Conference play signals beginning of hard work for Zips

Glad he's not interested in returning to the college game.

And I had missed counting a player. We're actually scheduled to have sixteen players on scholarship next season.

You're right! Here's an article from the Dayton Daily News stating he'll have one year of eligibility left. I'll edit my above post. That gives us a very senior-laden class next season. 1. Man is our roster stacked with athleticism 2. Out of all of next season's listed Juniors and Seniors, the only player I can presently envision transferring would be Mark Kostelac.

Yeah that's why I brought it up.

@ZipWatcher, would you mind taking the time to update the scholarship chart? Next year it's getting confusing again with Ivey being our only senior we'll be losing and us bringing in three players - 1 JUCO product who will be a Junior (Camron Reece), one prep school product who should be a Sophomore (Mikal Dawson) and one high school senior who will of course be a true Freshman (Ali Ali). That should fill out next year's on-scholarship roster with: Seniors: 7 (Daniel Utomi, Tyler Cheese, Deng Riak, Channel Banks, Jeremy Roscoe, E-man Olojakpoke, Xeyrius Williams) Juniors: 6 (Camron Reece, Loren Cristian Jackson, Eric Hester, LePear Toles, Jaden Sayles, Mark Kostelac) Sophomores: 2 (Mikal Dawson, Khadim Gueye) Freshmen: 1 (Ali Ali) Total: 16

Now my weather app says sunny & 82 ?

I think I saw Brady get his bell rung during the ISU game. Like Zach stated above, last week was a perfect week for a bye. I hope Brady's alright & ready to wreck havoc in the MAC!

Yeah, you were right. Just noticed GoZips.com has Lucas back on the roster.

Yeah, almost certainly a Junior. GoZips dot com has Channel Banks listed as a Junior & Camron is taking the same rout to UA via Sheridan C.C.
