TOUCHDOWN ! Zips WIN!!! WOW!

Kennedy over tackle. TOUCHDOWN AKRON! Go ZIPS!

Game is now on ESPN2.

That is a cool story. Also, know that last year, in the days leading up to the Motor City Bowl, Coach Tressel said that he was happy to see Akron going to a Bowl game and that he wanted to see them do well (not sure if he said win, being "politically correct"). He said that he had connections to The University of Akron.

They are sharp.

I personally liked the Pluto article. Given that the Zips lost, what did you expect? We could have received much worse. Did you notice that ht eABJ included the picture of Kennedy's touchdown? They could have chosen from a plethera of "low lights".I was also happy to see that the Cleveland PD included that picture and a full article on the game...not just some little blurb about Penn State's win like they could have. To top it off, the PD had an awesome full page article on Charlie. Go Zips! Go Browns!

SGM - you are so AWESOME! That is exactly what Akron needs...POSITIVE fans. I love this board and the Zips fans on here, but we need to stop bitching and envying other schools and do everything we can to bring respect to our teams.

I believe that Akron played YSU at the Div I-AA level when I first enrolled at UA. Then, when the Zips went to Div I-A, UA continued to play YSU. It was frustrating that Jim Tressel's Penguins won more often than not even though the Zips had moved up a level.

Met Sean Hakes at Meet the Team Day this past Sunday. Awesome guy. Watched him throw a coulpe of nice passes (40 - 50 yds) for some kids in attendance. Good arm. Look forward to seeing him play in the near future.
