Blue & Gold

Hey Zipwatcher, weren't you going to post some thoughts about how impressed you were by Oral Roberts' gameday (or pregame?) experience hoping that our athletics department could glean some ideas? Did I miss that post? I was looking forward to the reading.

Anything to get more boobtube time. Anything.

Nice! Please give an update after Friday's game, as I'm unable to attend. But I'm interested in following Peters' development.

Didn't much of the team (especially the seniors) lobby for Senderhoff to get the HC job?

@ wadzip, Excellent post!

Out of curiosity, but who would you prefer to bump?

We can be hopeful, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. After another 20+ years of equal-or-almost-equal billing with the Cavs, Indians and Browns we'll only begin to start breaking even.

I agree, not shabby!

Zips by 20.

Another excellent segment. Very well produced. I love the fact that Rachel Tecca didn't know she was UA's all-time scoring leader.

K e n t LB has a dream of becoming a Navy Seal!

Cool. Thank you!

Who's he? Link?

Bump. Spin? Root4Roo? ZachtheZip? If hockey would become a scholly sport, we wouldn't be a D-1 program?

Blasphemy!

Keep it classy, Akron.

Wow, it appears Roosevelt is turning into a D-1 factory.

This is interesting. I'd be curious as to whether they'd attribute their findings to leather's shock-absorption qualities, or, as would be my guess, to the seemigly obvious but probably overlooked probability, that while wearing leather helmets, players would simply be far less prone to lead with their heads on tackles?

Hmm. Interesting insight. Thanks for posting this observation. The staff must be attempting to forecast for potential?

I do appreciate and love the televised basketball games. (I think the KD show may have more to do with the UA than w/ STO? I'm not sure.) I wonder if the Zips were to somehow join the Big East if that conference would be high-profile enough to warrant a pregame & postgame show?

If hockey became a scholarship sport, we wouldn't be D-1?

That's cool you did that! But... I'm not talking about a tv news channel's website, I'm talking about the tv news channel's actual televised broadcast. Watch them for a while, and, honest to God, you'll be amazed. And probably upset. However, hopefully I'm displaying my age with this as Zen pointed out, nowadays increasingly few actually watch the local tv news anymore. But in my formative years, like Ron Burgundy, televised news was king!

I love all Zips fans, and I can tell you really did read my post. But, come on, man, that reply could be prime example number 1 of almost exactly what I'm talking about. Here's an experiment for anyone who wants to see "Akron" given due respect. But careful, because it could/should rock your equilibrium when you actually witness it. Three easy steps: 1) You have to have a passionate interest in Akron, UA, and, specifically, Zips athletics. 2) Watch the daily 6:00 & 11:00 Cleveland news programs (3, 5 & 8). For a while; week, month, year(s). 3) Post on here, (or anywhere, just keep track) of all the Akron Zips stories you see. You will literally find next to none. If this doesn't incense you, then go back & question step number one. Doing this will enable you to see what most all miss, for most people, accept the status quo without questioning much. I do in most things. It's just my desires for Akron that made me critically notice this troubling Northeast Ohio zietgeist.
