As a fan, I could care less. Ask an Indiana fan if they cared that Bobby Knight was disliked. Ask a Patriots fan if they care if Belichick is disliked. Billy Martin, Earl Weaver and on and on...I want a coach that wins, and wins big. I don't care what his acceptance level is at the barber shop. Hell the coach I root for used to be looked down upon at a time in his career. I do agree, and wish we could have seen what Hurley did at Buffalo for a larger time sample. The interest and comments in this thread alone tell you all you need to know about why he was good for the MAC. We need to get back to a higher level of student athlete in the MAC. Maybe some day Hurley will be back in the MAC. Wouldn't it be ironic if it were at Akron?

Proven? MAC HOF BR7 is 17-2 all time against the Browns. Is there another QB that has ever dominated a team the way he has? I've always said you have to be some kind of fan to root for the Browns AND the Zips. I'm lucky not to be in that boat. I agree. IF, and this is a big if, we had cool logos and uniforms, AND we could actually purchase like appeal to support our team we love, I would be more engaged. But since that isn't the case, I'm with you. I actually dislike about every teams apparel that I root for. My wife just bought me a new shirt from here that I kind of like. I wish they did Akron stuff. Keener might like this one.

According to Bill Livingston, that is exactly what they did. I've always heard that, but I'm not old enough to know the history.

1945. The Browns' uniforms began as copy-cat attire. Paul Brown went to a Bowling Green game and fell in love with the color scheme.

Comparing a throwback style from 1934 to a brand new style in 2015???? I do like the timely shoutout to SwagginU though.

Anything that honors coach Peters is a good thing....even if YSU and Ken+ have to be involved.

At the very least, the Zips have the best college uniform in NEO despite the new Cleveland attempt. IMO, the word "STATE" should be added below their numbers.

You can make one too. I made a similar one, but I spelled it "Graphic Design."

"Read one (receiver), then run,'' Bowden said. "That's all we want them to do; Read one, then run." Our offensive philosophy in Akron is eerily similar to our weather. Constant flux. PS Didn't GT recently report that not much would be changing offensively this year? Or am I mixing up years? I remember somebody else writing something close to this the day after the game.

I'm not reading anything like that, I see Mike Rhodes and Will Wade. I also read Ballard. AD, McLaughlin said he wants someone who will “continue our success. I think style of play is important for our student-athletes. They enjoy the style of play we have. I think it’s important we take that into consideration with a new coach. Our fans, too, love how we play now. Source.

Is this one of the four transfers predicted back in February?

We have our best guy working on that right now. Feel free to add your own caption.

If you didn't already buy it for him, here is an early xmas idea for KD...some new swag.

"We legitimately think he's been a great assistant coach at Columbus State, and would be sorry to see him go. But we also believe in letting people get promoted when they deserve it, since that ultimately makes Columbus State a better, more attractive place to work (plus, #karma, etc)." I hope this #karma thing is for real, we should be rolling in it any day now. PS I hope BG does hire him.

Texas Looking to Hook Shaka.

Ready?

Thank gawd, maybe we will change our offensive approach. The Zips should start preparing like it's a new rule next season. I watched the Zips struggle offensively for too long. IMO the biggest myth in the last decade is that we are good defensively. I believe the staff works REALLY hard at trying to become a good defensive basketball team in practice, I just don't see the translation when it counts. Just one prime example...last play of the Ken+ game. That was not good defense when it counted.

His rim acrobatics are impressive, but how many threes is he able to hoist up in a game?

As far as I can tell, George was at practice this morning, so maybe we will learn something. I'm pretty sure I still have my 2007 Cavs "Rise Up" playoff shirt. I think it's navy and white too.

If anybody listens, and has the time to write a synopsis, I'm sure it would be appreciated by ZN members.

Listen to 92.3 here.

Thanks for the article with the video. I read the ZN posts before I saw the video. "Didn't pull himself up?"...yeah right

I learned that the university offers a minor in exercise science.

Last night was a good example of why I don't like WV's style of play. UB would have, and did give UK a better game.

Looking forward to it!
