I look at it this way: 30,000 seats x $15/seat (i'm guessing this will be the average in the new stadium)= $450,000/game. Multiply that by 6 home games and you get $2.7mil, plus concessions. The Zips start winning over this year and the next and the excitement will be at fever pitch when the new stadium opens. The ability to sell out our stadium will determine the need to head out on the road for a "payday."

You can personalize at NFLshop.com I doubt it will be available for purchase until Charlie is the starter. Unfortunately, the personalized one is $99.99 plus shipping. Oh, but you do get a free NFLShop kickoff mug!

A conspiracy is far-fetched at best. This is a blessing for Charlie. If he has the the ability that a lot of THINK he has, being in Seattle with Coach Holmgren is probably the best place for him to go. I love the Browns, but this franchise is going nowhere, and frankly I believe no one knows how to fix it. So here, perhaps, is my next NFL purchase...

wow...that's incredible. and how did byu land this kid? Is he Mormon?

Two thoughts from skimming this thread:1) anyone see the parallels of this matchup (YSU 1AA football @ Zips) and our argument in basketball (OSU vs Akron)?2) How about we schedule them as the patsy for a sure victory for homecoming in '09. They cant be much worse than temple....

Hahahhaha...wow, picking Kansas to score 73 on Toledo and win by 52. That's some b@11$!

bottom line: Charlie was set up to fail with this ridiculous organization. It sucks, for sure. And i've been a browns fan my entire life. This team is destined for mediocrity and misery for a long time...Charlie, you're lucky to get out. We all wish you nothing but the best. I'm looking into my #5 SEA jersey right now.

This picture is simply awesome. I hope you dont mind Dr Z but i stole it for the ol myspace page.

Respectful fans...always nice to have. Luckily for you there's no rivalry between us or some folks would be jumping on ya. Who knows, maybe one will start when (if) we pull the upset saturday. Thanks for stopping by mOM82 and feel free to contribute on any of the game threads for the next few days. GO ZIPS!

"you have to ask how much of this is Frye's fault and how much can be attributed to the sad state of the Browns right now. I say it's more the latter. Frye had few weapons in Cleveland and played behind an offensive line that seemed to play poorly regardless of the money the Browns dumped into it. ""Frye should be glad he is gone because he should have a chance to become the quarterback everyone thought he was when he came out of Akron. He gets a fresh start in Seattle with a coach in Mike Holmgren who knows a little something about quarterback play. He gets to back up Matt Hasselbeck, who is one of the best in the NFL in terms of studying and knowing the game. Most importantly, he finally gets to once again become the student instead of the teacher, a role he had to fill on a Browns team littered with inexperience at quarterback. ""Frye never had a chance to succeed with the Browns. Their entire setup for young quarterbacks has "failure" written all over it, and if things do not change with the handling of Brady Quinn another disaster looms. The Browns have yet to go out and get a veteran QB who can teach their young passers how to play the game, and while there is talk of the team bringing back Ken Dorsey, who was a great college QB, I just don't see him bringing Quinn along as a starter."Some tasty tidbits...i wont copy paste the whole story. sorry!

Zippy's lead is dwindling...down to 5th overall and a 500 vote lead on cav man. uh oh...

Interesting thought...Seattle comes to Browns stadium on November 4th. That's 7 weeks from now...things would have to fall right, but dang that could make an interesting storyline.

Frye trade leads off the "Hot List" on ESPN News. "The Browns have traded starting quarterback Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks in a very curious personnel move. Then again this is Cleveland we're talking about..."Yes, that's an actual quote, i used the rewind feature on my dvr.

No problem, the Browns will never have to face him in the playoffs, he is in the NFC....but Dr Z, what if...you heard me NEVER. Hahahahahahha!!!! I DO hope this one comes back to bite em. This browns fan for life has had about as much as he can take of inept operations and poor coaching. Go 'hawks.

If he signs a new contract with Seattle, I'll have his new jersey.5 and 9 are available, hope he takes 5 Ditto. Go Zips and Go Charlie. A chance to play for a real organization is what the guy needs. And with real coaching to boot. And i'm a browns fan.

I've just heard....from a fairly reliable source...that charlie is traded to the New York Giants for a FOURTH ROUND DRAFT PICK.

Ha...yeah, i was there last saturday and it was split pretty evenly between the two schools playing. How about we organize an "official" meeting place so that WE can take over an establishment? It sure would be nice to have a bar full of Zips fans when all the Buckeye fans come rolling in looking for a seat...

We'll just go ahead and get this started looking forward to Saturday. Some friends and I have planned to make the trip up to BW3s on campus to see the game. It'd be nice to see some more Zips folks up there. Shouldnt be any competition as the Buckeyes dont play until 3:30 (where they'll suffer their first defeat at the hands of the Huskies). That being said...Zips 20Hoosiers 16Thoughts?

Lookin good so far...Zippy is up 729 to 395 as of my vote at noon!

You really think that? The way I see it is if we can shut down the #12 team in the nation for 2 quarters +, i see us beating indiana and uconn and having a damn good year in the MAC. GO ZIPS!

Oh...and all bdubs folks were decked out in zips gear.

Went to BW3 on exchange, right on campus. it was 50/50 just about. We'll see what happens in 5 more years, if they'll even play us again. Funny part is, i think K.E.N.T. might have a chance with their offensive talent.

I think to get the ability to buy a 'regular' ticket you had to buy a $65+ season ticket. Correct me if i'm wrong... And dang I'd love to be there, but working retail I have to pick my battles on which weekends I work. Fair trade to avoid the 4 hours of driving and the $60 ticket to get the 22nd off. We'll be there pre-dawn. Breakfast on the grill folks!

This is an interesting question. I honestly think they'd play it from the "OSU National Title Hopes Over after Upset Loss to Akron." Same title you 'd see in the Columbus Dispatch.
