  6. Dear Band Director

    in Akron Zips Football

    And here we go.

    First of all, if you are a current band member you should not be posting on this.

    110zip. You seem to have missed the posts from people such as myself giving props to the 110 they are one hell of a group.

    Root, if you've been avoiding halftime how do you know all this stuff about the current conditions of te band?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing folders during the 2 halftime shoes I've watched this year. Have they been used during other shows that I didnt see? The band has changed up their music collection quite a bit since I was a member (not that anyone has noticed) so you guys can stop beating on that drum.

    My 2 big things against the band are the same things they've been for years.

    1) stop saying "and up" as well as "and down" for your horn motions.

    2) find something that will make you unique. I still stand next to my suggestion of bringing back the tire drum.

    why doesn't our band do anything original

    You keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means. the 110 is a hell of a band, no doubt, but to say this is original is flat out wrong. It's a song that's been played to death on the radio, has probably hundreds of high school arrangements, and the dance steps was stolen from the music video.

    As was stated OU has been doing this for decades, for Ohio's Pride to come along and try to get in on this would just leave you with a far worse product that what you already have and you would all be complaining that they're just ripping OU and aren't as good at it as they are. They are not staffed for or experienced in something like this.

    I've watched as the band has started incorporating pop hit's as requested, but it has unfortunately gone unnoticed. They continually make changes to please the fan but I don't think some of you are going to be happy until they're doing cartwheels and launching roman candles out their butts.

    And we don't know that Paterno did lose curiosity. He may have followed up and been told the matter had been investigated and resolved. All we've seen so far have been reports of a few details and not the whole story. Assuming the worst on insufficient data is always hazardous.
    is there any other way on the internet?

  23. Early HC Scouting

    in Akron Zips Football

    No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think Tress is a "Can't State Guy". And I am aware that the HC over there in Portage County was an assistant under Tress and came to Can't with his endorsement. No shit. His being on Can't's sideline certainly shows that JT is in no way shape or form an "Akron Guy". So let go of the pipe dream. I only wish he had waited one week to show his support for his former WR coach. Perhaps then this inane conversation would be over. Probably not, though.
    This conversation had actually been over for a while until you and skip stirred it back up.

    A lot of what Rizzo said could be edited with Zips references dubbed and it would be on the mark.@SpinI went to quite a few Hillsdale games this year and you probably know the Falcons lost the last game against Norwayne to finish 9-1 and miss the playoffs. :( I didn't know you were a Chipp. At least you've got Erika's going for you. (One of my favorite places.)
    Class of '84. UAkron class of 2012. Yeah, second career guy. I still follow the WCAL of course, I see Smithville lost. I try to make a Chipp game every year, Friday is usually when I get my OT though.I haven't been to Erika's in years. I usually hung out at the Valley with the rest of the firemen when I lived there. Or the Legion with the fire officers if I needed some brownie points for something I f'd up.
    Good to see I'm not the only Wayne County kid here. I'm a Waynedale grad myself (04) I have been out of the WCAL loop for a while so you can imagine how surprised I was to find out Norwayne was in the playoffs. I didn't even think they knew there was a post season.
