  1. Wish the Zips Football Kick-Off Reception with the coaches would have taken place yesterday and maybe Mangini could have spoke for a few minutes to help fire the base up.

    when will the roster but updated anybody knows

    Akron Athletics have not done a good job updating the football roster and player bio's the last few seasons.  I don't think they have done a team photo either. 

    When you are a MAC school you have to do the easy things to promote your players and team. 

    Heard at the Spring Game that the Zips don't have a parents club for football.  If true, someone has to step it up in Athletics.  Got to do everything big and small things to attempt to keep these guys out of the portal.

  3. GoZips.com has one article from March 27th about Spring Football and none from the ABJ.  As per usual the Beacon is giving zero coverage to our Division I teams. 

    How will the community ever get behind UA teams when there is such little communication and promotion?

    **** Shaka Smart and the horse he road in on.

    I couldn't agree more.   I will never forgive Shaka Dumb for the pressing the Zips the entire game in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.  We lost our point guard, Alex Abreu two weeks prior and then the day of the game - seven Zips were sick with the flu or had food poisoning.  Shaka finally stopped pressing with less than a minute to go and up 40 points.  He did this to Keith Dambrot, who WAS allegedly his "best friend in coaching." 

    Shaka is trash.

    The University of Akron's - Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering is ranked:

    #1 in the World

    #1 in North America

    #1 in the United States

     

    World's best Polymer science and Plastics engineering universities [Rankings] (edurank.org)

    Finally the local media acknowledges this important UA story.  The impact of the Greater Akron polymer cluster.

    Apologize if this has been already mentioned but saw on twitter that our strength coach has left the program. This is a very important role for the program, hope they find someone good to replace him.

    Heard that Kent’s former Strength and Conditioning Coach Jeff Sobol has an interest in taking over Coach Iannacchione spot with the Zips.
