Zipmeister

Based on way too many years experience with college age kids, I can attest that you are over estimating the degree of sophistication possessed by them these days (unless you equate driving and texting with sophistication).

Please post more about football in Iowa; I can't get enough of it. Also, if you have any Iowa track and field news to share, that would be great. Heard they are supposed to be especially good this year in the hammer through.

Tressel's salary in 2020 was $667,385, the same he made as Dantonio's highest-paid assistant while serving as defensive coordinator in 2019.

What you and Charles do behind closed doors should be of no concern to others. Go Zips.

Attendance at Akron games could be significantly increased if a ticket not only got the holder into the game but also entered the holder into a cash lottery. The standard prize could be some nominal amount - say $5,000. But if the Zips win a game as an underdog the standard amount would be increased by a factor positively related to the point spread. (e.g., win as a 3 point dog - prize goes to $15,000; win as a 6 point dog - prize goes to $30,000). Of course, to win the ticket holder must be in attendance. Some of our most highly attended games could be when we are huge underdogs. And don't tell me this is illegal; haven't we given away scholarships to students in attendance in the past?

I can't warn you because I don't know what a flop out is, but it sounds ominous. does it have anything to do with the fact that dre "liked" me making fun of his poor grammar?

If you want the maximize the feature of the next coach hire a one-armed, Asian, female.

I'm hoping for a rain out; we play better there the next day. https://fansided.com/2017/10/14/western-michigan-vs-akron-postponed-field-lake/

Well, he certainly couldn't respond forward.

Nope, but the freshman team at the school I was at when Gerry was hired by Akron could have given the Fighting Irish varsity a run for their money.

There was some other Guy name Paul Brown who left coaching HC and lead some school in Columbus their 1st national championship Don't remind me. I was at a national college football powerhouse at the time Gerry was named the new Zip's coach and the verbal beating I took from people who knew my connection to Akron was unmerciful.

His grammar is bad enough that he could become a regular poster here.

I recall some guy (think his first name was Gerry) who was a fantastic HS coach in Cincinnati and was hired as HC at Notre Dame where he was a miserable failure. Turns out a lot of success at the HS level may have been due to the fact that he could recruit players while most of his counterparts could not.

Do you think we can get Terry to come back now? A friend told me to ask.

In some ways they were not alike (e,g., one had an abrasive personality while the other said "you know" enough that he might as well have had an abrasive personality). In other ways they were alike (e.g. an abysmal win/LOSS performance.

People should have anticipated this young man was going to be a problem when he inquired if Akron had a major in Running Afoul of the Law.

perhaps

Where have I seen this before?

It would be fun to watch 300 (or so) pound linemen racing down field to catch up with a running back or wide receiver. However, it may not last past the first quarter as most of them will be gassed, and cleaning the vomit from the field could require official timeouts.

Now I have scene it all.

You know how in basketball the guys sitting on the end of the bench don't tend to get in the game much. Well, my sister had a nephew who rode the pines at the end of the bench for the University of Texas. My sister suggested to him (on more than one occasion) that he move closer to the coach to increase the odds that he pick up some playing time. Thankfully he ignored her advice because he realized (like almost everyone who plays a sport) that playing time is earned in practice, not by how close your game day seat on the bench is to the coach. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the guys who aren't getting into the Zip football games should stand closer to the coach.

Perhaps the Akron schedule makers are afraid of the Geoducks. Although they did not play last season due to COVID, in 2019/20 they recorded a 3 and 23 record. Plus. their current roster includes two big men, both measuring in at 6'5". If we do decide to schedule them in the future PLEASE make sure it is a home game because anyone who enjoys fantastic scenery will never come back to Akron after they have been to the Olympia area.

Not about NCAA stipends. It is Arth not understanding that to increase the odds of a football team's success, especially at the G5 level, it is important to lure athletes who are not well-suited for college.

Not sure why you would lol because what you wrote is a near certainty.

I know you know that you really post these game threads to you know eek more predictions out of the Meister. So here you know you go. Zips by 14. Akron sets new team record for longest field goal you know made. Football Grandma you know rushes the field and cold cocks a ref for a bad call against the Zips (Arth you know immediately offers her a scholarship).
