He has visited Duke and OSWho but one of the recruiting sites says he projects as a MAC or Horizon player right now unless he improves in certain areas. http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4724502

Since it looks like the general public will not be able to get any of the 300 tickets that the university gets for $35 for all 4 games, the cheapest price on stubhub right now is $146 for all 3 games. For me and my wife with service charge and shipping that would be around $335. I wish we hadn't already gotten Christmas gifts for each other. I don't think I can drop that much on the tickets. Anyone thinking about getting tickets from Stubhub.

A&M is ranked #19 in the AP and #22 in the ESPN/USA polls. Hopefully we continue with our second half play on Sunday and maybe pull off the top 25 upset.

Forgot to post the link.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4718911

The same info is in Wooster's Daily Record where he was named player of the year. Man it would be nice to see him and Wagner shore up our linebacking core for the next few years.

From where I was standing, it didn't look good. He had to be carried off the field. I'm afraid he may have a broken shinbone just below the knee, but I hope I'm very wrong.They said he had ice on his hamstring. Hopefully just a pulled hammy.Today's Beacon article says it's a groin injury. Caleb states they're not sure if he'll be available Sunday or not.Ohio Dot Com LinkySpeaking of groin injury's. Did anyone catch in warm ups the one South Florida shot that went quite a bit wide right into the standing onlookers and nailed a guy right in the groin? He went down and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. I hope he was alright.

Zeke has dropped in a couple baby hooks so far. I think he has 14 points. Not expecting him to average that this season but I was cautiously optimistic about his offensive impact this year but I think it will be better than I expected. I think he averages 7-9 points this year, could be more but I see with our depth and talent he won't get a ton of looks.

how to get a pictuure. i only hear the sound.Did you click the little play button? I think that will start the video.

The game is free to watch online at http://www.channelsurfing.net/

Tickets are still available. My dad and brother just decided they wanted to go and I got them 2 reserved tickets in section 103 at noon today. GA were also available. I did not ask how many are left. I also got my Indiana and OSU soccer tickets.

With under 48 hours to kickoff, I will bump this back up that it will hold true what the song says about the fans in Happy Valley aren't going to be thrilled losing to the underdog Zips. Can't wait for this game.http://zipsnation.org/images/ftr.wma

If u get 25, u get a $5 per ticket discount. I did it for Indiana.

I like how it turned out. Especially the Hoosier's Daddy part.Now should I contact Hunter and see about making a video at the Info:) Now I have to start thinking about putting one together for the basketball team this winter.

Final Lyrics are attached and the link below should let you hear the song.http://zipsnation.org/images/ftr.wma

We have the song ready but it is about 3MB and it looks like we can only do attachments of 1MB. Any ideas of how I can post this it on here to get around this limitation?

This link takes you right to a screen where you just have to type in akron and the university will pop up.http://www.vspink.com/nominate_your_school.jsp

The wife just got an email from Victoria's Secret where they have "clothing" of almost 60 university and are having a nominate your school function in which they could add some more schools. Akron is currently in 296th place (pathetic:). Here is the link if we want to rock the vote again.http://www2.victoriassecret.com/pink/pink_...nks83@yahoo.com

For those of us who can't make the game and has cable, is there anyway to make sure the cable company plays the Akron Penn St. game on the big ten network.

Here is what we came up with on our first pass. Still need to actually run through it to make sure it sounds, ok. Set to the music of Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats. Our lyrics set beside hers. We tried to incorporate a little of everything, offense, defense, special teams, cheerleaders, band, Zippy, and a few of our opponents. What are everyone's thought? Any tweaks we should make.Right now he's probably slow dancing Right now the fans in Happy ValleyWith a bleached-blond tramp Aren’t going to be thrilledAnd she's probably getting frisky Losing to the underdog ZipsRight now, he's probably buying Right now, Allex Allen plowingHer some fruity little drink Through into the endzone'Cause she can't shoot whiskey As the defender slips Right now, he's probably up behind her Right now, Jacq’ slings the ball to MillerWith a pool stick While Stec pins emShowing her how to shoot a combo Deep and Igor nails a 50 yarderAnd he don't know Our defense hits harder I dug my key into the side The band is playing Blue and Gold Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive And Bowser leaping for a catch for all to beholdCarved my name into his leather seat The enemy not knowing what to doI took a Louisville slugger to both head lights The cheerleaders flipping on the sidelinesSlashed a hole in all 4 tires The Zips come down hard in overtimeAnd maybe next time he'll think before he cheats You better give up now cuz you know you Fear The Roo Right now, she's probably up singing some Right now, BG Falcons fans are saying White-trash version of Shania karaoke Ay-Ziggy Zoomba Zips are #1 Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk" Right now, Bain, Tonga, and Sewell causingAnd he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky Havoc in the backfield with the QB on the run Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars Right now, the Indiana fans are saying thatWorth of that bathroom Polo The Zips are the Hoosier’s DaddyOh and he don't know In this parody That I dug my key into the side The band is playing Blue and Gold Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive And Bowser leaping for a catch for all to beholdCarved my name into his leather seat The enemy not knowing what to doI took a Louisville slugger to both head lights The cheerleaders flipping on the sidelinesSlashed a hole in all 4 tires The Zips come down hard in overtimeAnd maybe next time he'll think before he cheats You better give up now cuz you know you Fear The Roo I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl Jalil taking it to the house for a pick 6'Cause the next time that he cheats The Zips keeping the Wagon WheelOh, you know it won't be on me!

Here is something they are doing for locals who are in different business groups and maybe they will convince some of the people who go to get season tickets. I like the idea of tours, happy hour, and prizes.

Great pickup for the Zips, saw him play once last year. He is a former high school teammate of current redshirt freshman tight-end Ryhne Ladrach. I wonder if the Zips will offer his teammate Sam Miller who is a DB/WR that has an offer from Louisville?

Got this blanket as a gift from the in-laws today. They took the picture from the Christmas card we sent them and the Walmart in Massillon had this nice Zips template blanket for the photo to go in. It isn't a heavy duty blanket, but I think it looks really nice (especially the two people in the picture).

My wife, as part of her honors project rewrote lyrics of Broadway songs to accounting (our majors) lyrics and sang them (she has a pretty good voice, especially compared to me). So I was thinking in the drive in to work today, that it would be pretty cool to take a song that most everyone knows and rewrite the lyrics to the 2009 Zips football team (similar to the "Mambo for the Tribe" from a few years back if anyone has heard of it). In talking with her she said she had some lyrics made up and also had a few songs and then would try to match them up with the correct syllables and rhyming and such.So my question to Zipsnation is what songs would you like rewritten about our Zips? My wife is more of a Broadway/country/oldies (not really an Avril Levine type) voice but she could do about anything if that helps out with song suggestions. After we select the song, we will create the lyrics (any input would be great) and maybe I'll post the final lyrics for everyone's input. We are planning in August to go to someone's house who has a makeshift recording studio in their basement (we've done it 4 or 5 other times for gifts to parents, Christmas CD's, etc.) and were going to add this to the list that she would sing. Then I can add it on Zipsnation before the first game for everyone. If it goes well, I can see a repeat for the basketball team later this fall.
