  1. Zippy to Appear on WKYC-TV Friday Morning

    Will the folks at Capital One be flying both Zippy and Goldy Gopher to Orlando prior to the Capital One Bowl to help keep the winner a surprise or just the winner? If it's just the winner heading south, I would imagine Zippy will be able to tell us one way or the other whether she won or not. I'm sure Zippy has been sworn to secrecy but ...
    The way I've heard it...the actual mascot will not be at the Capital One Bowl, but will be announced during a commercial during the game.....LAME!!!!

    I know the media relations department sent out information to all the stations in town when Zippy was named as one of the 12 in the contest. Since then, I don't know if they did anything to inform them that Zippy went undefeated and is in the finals. Regardless, Channel 3 has been running a spot at least once a week to remind everyone to vote for Zippy. This will also be Zippy's third live appearance on the morning show.

  7. Basketball Rankings - An Early Look

    Akron received 0 votes in the AP and USA Today polls this week. Miami got 3 in the AP and 10 in the USA Today. OU got 2 in the AP. Looks like that loss is already hurting any chances we had of inching up the rankings. Of course Miami already beat Xavier and played USC close. College Insider has not released the new Mid Major Top 25 yet today.

  11. Voting for Zippy - week 10

    So Zippy is now 9-0 thanks to the great efforts made by many Zips fans over the last two months. Now it is crunch time. With two weeks left, lots of schools are vying for the remaining playoff spots. Here's how we need to vote this week inorder to ensure ourselves a better chance once the playoffs commence:Cocky over Cosmo - I still don't know why, but Cosmo just scares me and I think he could be a major force if given the chanceSeymour over Otto - Poor Seymour has had a very rough time in this competition, with only three wins.Zippy over Goldy - Goldy could be a tough one given the size of the U of Minnesota if they ever get organisedCavman over Big Red - Cavman is practically in, and we can eliminate Big Red either now or next week. I say now.Joe Bruin over Monte - Monte must lose this week! Under no circumstances can he be allowed to win.Hokiebird over HairyDawg - HairyDawg is in it to win it, and those Georgia fans can be nuts, as can be any SEC fans. A win and they get in, which can not be allowed.So congrats on 9-0! We're almost there, but there's still work to be done to make sure we have an easier road through the playoffs.
    I'd lean Cosmo over Cocky. Cocky is also a former winner and also part of the rabid SEC. Brigham Young does have a larger enrollment at 33300 vs. 23700.I would think we'd want Otto over Seymour. Support for Seymour has been sad but enrollment and moral at Syracuse is pretty low. Prop Otto up to get him into the playoffs and then let him finally go away.Totally agree with the rest of your picks. Really want to knock Goldy and HairyDawg outta here. Big schools and alumni base.Go Zippy!
    You may be on to something there. Looking at the early trends, Cosmo is looking at blowing out Cocky, but Otto is a lost cause.Hairy Dawg and Monte are putting up very tough fights right now, but we can't let them win. I realy really don't want to face them in the playoffs.
    Is this what happens when the football team is declared "out of it?" You guys are like the guys on PTI and Around the Horn, except with mascots. I love it! GO ZIPPY! I think once the playoffs start, I may have to try to get Zippy on Channel 3 again.

    But hey, bum...blow it up to full screen and stop at 1:25 and you can see yourself holding the sign with the rowdies. I'm somewhere a row behind. :unsure:
    Yea, that was from Dambrot Appreciation Night, which explains my shirt. After this game was when I went back to implementing the "Tuck Rule" -- fat guys don't tuck their shirts in.....
