C'mon GP1, you know damn well we'd recruit better in the Big East. You think UConn made the jump to D-1A football and said "oh well we only have 1-AA players?" Was Cincy remotely competitive before they joined the BE? USF? They didn't even have a program before they went. If it were up to you, they wouldn't have made the jump from no program to the BE (and #2 in the country a couple times) because the talent on hand wasn't good enough to begin with.

I agree with the rest of your post but it does have a ranked men's basketball team right now.

We've had stability for a long time now. Screw stability.

Maybe because people get a little obnoxious and start topics titles "American soccer haters: We don't need you"

i don't think they dropped behind the MAC

Haha not sure there's a next time, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I played at Firestone today.. Thought I saw Coach Bowden and I wanted to run over with my Zippy headcover and say hi, but I didn't wanna run into some group that wasn't him would anyone (cough NZF cough) know if he was there today?

Show me a link where every player who's played here in the last 8 years never thought about it. I think that's just as unreasonable. Obviously LeBron isn't the number 1 reason (nor would I hope he would be) for any player to come here. But to say no 17-18 year old kid ever thought about it? One bit? C'mon man!

The thing is, Southern Miss, Marshall, and ECU are better than anything we have. The rest are probably worse than what we have. Very top heavy.

I'm also enjoying UAZips "well besides that" defense.

I think anyone that thinks having LEBRON JAMES around our program, playing pickup games, giving the team gear, tweeting about them...has had ZERO impact on any player possibly coming to Akron in the past 8 years is extremely delusional. That is all.

Didn't the stadium in 09 hold about the same as ours?

Yeah it was at BG a few years ago. We can do it.

Right and since it wasn't the reason Zeke came here, then we can obviously conclude that no player has considered it in the past 8 seasons

in 2010

Obviously, I've yet to see an Akron game in this offense, but it sounds pretty similar. Quick reads, high tempo, run as many plays as possible. Doesn't sound like Terry is going to use the read option, but besides that I see (hear) a lot of similarities. GOD BLESS

I watched Tino Sunseri struggle with this offense so bad last year at Pitt. Hopefully whoever starts can get rid of the ball quick. Quick releases are key. QBs that lock on receivers and take time to get rid of it struggle so bad in this kind of offense. If he can throw a deep ball once in a while it will really open it up as well. Basically, I'm going to be really miserable if we end up with our version of Tino Sunseri.

yep, add to that the basketball, football accounts. I think I follow Zippy too. I get all the Zips news, just from different places, and usually repetitive stuff.

No way. I bet you think the sun will set in the west tomorrow too.

lolol you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's...oh nevermind

Agreed. I don't have much interest in starting a freshman on a lousy team.

Southern Miss is really good at football and basketball, not sure what you guys are talking about lol. 4/20 is over..

Someone might want to compare attendance numbers between Pittsburghs AAA team and the Indians lately.

did anyone else know Toledo is ineligible for the MAC and NCAA tourney next year?

As a Steeler fan, I'd like anyone affiliated with the Browns to stay away from the Zips. We're bad enough.
