I guess I'm in the minority, I appriciated when Bosley and Andrick played a physical game for the Zips. Opened up a lot of shots, and got us to the charity stripe. Basketball is a physical game. McCrea's play was a foul.

I also find it interesting Ohio would win a two way to breaker against Akron, but finish second in a 3 way tie breaker to Akron (with EMU). Gotta love the unbalanced schedules.
Same thing happens in the NFL. It would have been implemented this year, if not for a missed call.

It's cool to look at this list.
I agree. Like most stats, they are skewed by variables. They don't take into account the level of competition that each faced, or offensive, or defensive philosophies. Can you imagine Jimmal (or others) playing in the MAC the last four years, or Tarver (or others) playing in today's offensive philosophy? I would venture to guess the numbers would be a tad different. But it's still always fun to dream. I hope Tree ends up being number one on the list.

If the #BEATKENT game wasn't enough, the first 1,000 @uakron students & @TheAKROWDIES will each get 1 of these items: pic.twitter.com/eHUTC8Fk5a

Steeler fans have Dri on their mind here and here.
Mel Kiper is listing Khalil Mack as his number three overall right now. McShay is the same.
Jordan's less than stellar throwing at the combine has some questioning his NFL QB ability.
The godfather sees him trying RB. (article from way before combine 10/13, you don't get the godfather name by mistake)
Lynch seems to be open to "anything that gets him in the pros."
“Kind of in my head, I’d like to stay on offense — running back, slot receiver — I feel like I need the ball in my hands. I’m a playmaker,” Lynch said Friday at the NFL scouting combine. “Some teams, there’s some questions whether I can play safety or not. And, I mean, that would be great and everything, but I feel like offense (is better for me).”

Here is a good place to discuss.
Edit: Skip, I moved your post to the discussion.

What coach spends 3/4 of his timeouts talking to the officials?
Watch any recent 49er's games?

To my knowledge there was no clear video of the kidney punch McCrea landed on Jake from behind in Buffalo last season as there was of the sucker punch Chris Singletary delivered to Nate Linhart's gut in a Can't game a few years ago.
True.
More of this please

Resounding "Boo" to the Clevelander being our team bar in Cleveland. Expensive and packed. Will Zip81 be able to get us hooked up at the bar next door again?
Personally, I love the Clevelander. Lots of bikinis, and located right across from the beach!

These are my Brewdoo statistics.
Well done.

Can someone explain to us young people the "Hipsher days"...I'm lost...
Hipsher was 74-90 in the MAC back when the MAC was a two bid conference.

In his defense, he was hurt.
One should never forget with the amount of reminders written.

2014 season confirmed. 4 Tuesday night Nov games (2 Home, 2 Away).
While I will probably be at both Tuesday night home games, I probably won't get to tailgate. I feel robbed out of two tailgates, and the season hasn't even started.

Someone on ZN.o posted awhile back a description of the Zips' creative schemes. Oh yeah, it was you.
I really wasn't looking for a coaches answer from 2010 to "what kind of offense do the Zips run?" I'm looking for fans observation on what creative schemes they see on the floor during game time. But rereading that answer is like reading the script to the Godfather, and then showing up at the JAR to watch Joe vs the Volcano.

Rumor has it they are going to have black in them. The word I heard was that Tank wanted black and they're doing it to honor him. I dont know if that's true
If that's true, it would be kind of cool. I like the thought of tone on tone black (not matte), except for playing in the south in August and early September. The only thing better than new uniforms, is another thread about new uniforms.
-
The zero creativity with scheme has to do with the fact that we have a team full of one trick ponies.
Not picking on you, just looking for an honest opinion, what year did the Zips have creative scheme(s)? This question is open to anyone with an opinion.

Nice read Bill.
While Bill makes a lot of good points, this one will likely be the most important to improve upon.
"If you're going to average 10.8 yards per completion, your completion rate better be around 70 percent. Kyle Pohl's was 56 percent. That's not going to work."
I hope Kyle is practicing multiple crossing routes and studying his playbook ad nauseum.

This whole incident is stupid. From the hazing going on as long as it did, to the victim not treating his wounds before they became severely infected.
Originally I thought it was just a minor wiping issue, but now I realize its a major whipping issue.
Zips basketball has made some repugnant headlines in the last year.

I think this forum would be great not just for Akron area establishments, but for all of NEO and beyond. What do you think?
Great idea Keener. I just got back from South Beach. Great food. You really can't go wrong with most places there. If you were in town for a quick trip Nexxt Cafe is a place most will like due to the massive menu selection. I could also put Nexxt Cafe in the burger thread. Great place to people watch since it is in Lincoln Mall (outside area). After dinner you can walk up a couple blocks to the Hafbrauhaus.

Nice find ZipsBurgh, thanks for posting. Did he almost apologize to the fans at 2:45? Or did he say he was going to?

Is it football season yet?
Best QB in the draft 2014
in Off Topic, Smack & Jokes
Posted
Houston sports writer John McClain writes the Texans are considering all three.
Fell free to explain your pick below.
This selection could be important to the Browns, as they may have the same selection, one way or another, and are thought to be considering picking a QB.
