Blue & Gold

I got mine too, only 3-4 days after I ordered them. I'd call UA.

We're also playing @ St. Mary's on November 12th @ 3 a.m. (Eastern) during the ESPN basketball tip-off. We'll face St. Mary's twice this season - if we end up playing them in Hawaii.

And what was his thought on the matter?

I heard that was a great game. Jeremiah was 1st-Team D-1 All-Ohio while Joshua was 2nd-Team. I believe Joshua was the only sophomore on either the 1st or 2nd teams. I see Joshua and I have to remind myself the kid is only 16-years old. Kid just got his driver's license. He's the real deal. Besides Zeke, Joshua will be the highest-ranked UA recruit thus far. Btw, have you ever seen Joshua's younger brother, Jonathan play? I've heard very good things.

Has anyone heard anything concerning Zach D'Orazio? I haven't heard or read a thing about him all preseason.

No postgame talk? I'm out of town & wanna hear how Jared's Zips looked. Information, please! Postgame writeup from GoZips.com.

He's still young. I don't believe he even turns 18 until tomorrow (August 21st).

I'll have to buy a ticket & support the movie.

Wow, congrats, Dri! But Bowden seems pretty pumped about our D front 7 right now. Can't wait for the game! I remember Ianello's second year, the game was so uncompetitive that K-ent fans didn't even seem to enjoy their blowout victory. It's almost as if everyone, on both sides, were puzzled at how a college football team could possibly be so bad.

Yet another article on the Akron Fire. This time from Mike Popovich of the Canton Repository.

George Thomas on a very sensitive, third rail issue. Excellent article.

Michael Beaven's write up on the season's first practice.

Thanks, George. Great to hear! Stacked.

Also from Elton's article: "Can't State: Credit the Golden Flashes with taking advantage of just about every break they had in an 11-3 season in 2012. But head coach first-year head coach Paul Haynes is experienced enough to know that the breaks that fall your way one season can change in the next." On a serious note, Elton also reports what GT tweeted, that Kyle Pohl seems to be separating himself as the #1 QB. Btw, has anyone heard anything about Thomas Woodson?

Harney won both regular season MVP and tourney MVP of the Akron-Canton Pro Am league. His team won the championship. Both Nyles Evans & Deji were also members of Harney's team (I forget the name of the team).

See George, even doctors make mistakes. And I agree with the good Doctor, thank you for the good work you do.

George, how is Keontae Hollis looking?

Does anyone know what time the practices are tomorrow (Friday)?

Here is a link to a bunch of pictures Zips Athletics posted on facebook. Hope the link works.

In Tree's video, you can see how broad 'Bron's shoulders are. Crazy. Also, Big Dog was doing a nice job boxing 'Bron out. Finally, McAdams stroked an effortless, blink-of-the-eye 3.

They were blowing up twitter. I especially love what Brian Walsh tweeted: "Only at The University of Akron you can come to open gym and the best player on earth @KingJames is playing with our guys #AdvantageAkron"

Michael Beaven on Joshua's transfer & verbal to UA.

Joshua Williams will be coming on board just as Nyles Evans graduates. That'll give us a pretty smooth transition at PG, especially since we'll still have Melo for one more season; the pressure of running the point won't be solely on a freshman's shoulders. As an aside, on twitter I've noticed that current St.V/M senior 2G Jalen Hudson has been playing quite a bit of pickup ball w/ the Zips & seems to have a good relationship w/ players on the team. We only have 1 scholarship to award next year.

Thank you for taking the time to keep this updated for all of us. Go Zips!
