Blue & Gold

And don't line up offsides. What is this, 2nd grade pee-wee football?

Oooohhh, we know about those. Do we ever know about those.

Speaking of the basketball program, KD speaks to the football team.

ABJ game story (staff report ) http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-football-composed-zips-rally-to-dominate-marshall-65-38-1.712506 "UA quarterback Thomas Woodson led the onslaught, completing 21-of-32 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions." That equates to a Quarterback Rating of 206.36!!!

+1. We need Marshall back in the MAC! They had great rivalries between both us and Ohio. Fun times. Maybe one day...

So did Van Edwards play at all or was it all Manny Morgan? How'd Manny look? He had, what, 130-ish yards? I'm pretty thrilled with our new OL.

GREAT! And thank you! Can't wait to watch! I'll P.M. you.

Bump Seriously. I'll meet you where ever you want & give you $15 for the DVD & your time.

K92, I don't post much on ZN.o; mostly just a reader, but you've gotta keep posting, dude! I've got a handful of posers who's comments I look forward to reading & you're one of them. I'm sure there are a number of young, college-aged posters who are relatively new to ZN.o & that's a good thing for the future of ZN.o. But they don't have any idea who you are. And remember when you were young? You probably thought you knew a lot more than you really did, too & were probably pretty vocal & adamant about your certainty too. Lol. I'd beg you to just roll your eyes at any personal comments on here, cut them a break & chalk it up to inexperience & immaturity. Maybe find humor in it? The only reason you get attacked once in a while on here is because you have interesting takes. Me? I don't ever get attacked on here because I mostly just ask questions and post links to articles from Ohio.com. Lol. Buy you... you give ZN.o way too much colorful personality to drop out!

If anyone could burn this to DVD for me I'll pay you.

I wanna see this!!!

Please keep the updates and commentary coming! I'm stuck at a luncheon

Still 1-0 Zips?

If I can't find it on YouTube I'll come back & ask for some help. Seems like I can rarely find old Zips games on YouTube when i search. I must not be the only one because Zipsoutsider noted the same frustration above.

No But thank you for the reply

Due to a birthday luncheon, I'm not going to be able to see the game. Anyone know if CBS Sports offers replays?

When I first read your post I thought the Williams you were referring to was DL Brennan Williams. But you were obviously referring to Newman Williams, who now weighs 273. I've said this before and, I know, I know, the coaches know more than I do, but I wish they'd try Newman on the DL. He's a beast with quick feet & I just want to see him on the field. Two years ago he was our #1 recruit & though Dante Booker was ranked the #1 LB in the nation, it was Newman Williams who was making most of the tackles on that state champion STVM team. He's a gamer. He's a ball hawk. He's a leader. I want to use him while we've got him. *Part of the problem may be that he has been injury prone, unfortunately.

I think Van Edwards is a very capable MAC-level RB. True, Warren Ball looks like an NFL-caliber back to me, but I think we could still go bowling with Edwards (considering we play in the MAC East).

Excellent post, Wadzip. (I'm out of "Likes" for the day.) I'll just add that I don't think anyone thinks landing the local recruits will enable us to beat a team like Wisky. But, IMHO, landing the local recruits will make us a contender in the MAC year-in and year-out & take us bowling. These are some very good players who've given us verbals. To take the next step we'll have to eventually land the Weston Bridges (Copley - MSU verbal), Todd Sibley's (Hoban - Pitt verbal) & Malcolm Robinsons (Massillon DT - Purdue verbal) of the area. The OSU, Michigan & Notre Dame recruits are always going to go to OSU, Michigan & Notre Dame. but at least we're no longer losing the recruits to Toledo & Ohio. Hopefully soon we won't be losing recruits to Purdue & Pitt-level programs either.

Kobie's built like a tank. I went to a Barberton game earlier in the year & could pick Kobie out of the crowd of players from 100 yards away. And he can run quite well. Looks like a great future LB to me.

Most (all?) on this board wish you guys were back in the MAC. Myself included. It's a good rivalry and I hope it's a good game. We're not yet sure what we've got with our team either.

Pittman played some interior DL last season IIRC. Maybe move him back inside? (Let him flex his muscles & prove his manhood on the interior DL ) We've got more depth at DE than DT. DE - Marcus DT - Hamilton DT - Pittman DE - Venckus There you go, coach. Just solved the problem. Now I wish we could play Wisky again
