Nobody has been doing it longer than ZipsNation. Welcome aboard.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to offer your opinion.

Very nice breakdown WZ. I would be interested in your opinion on two other categories, free throw shooting, and in game coaching. Please save your response stat guys, I know how to operate my mouse to stat sites if I so choose, I'm interested in wadszips opinion. As the year progresses I'm a little more confident in the Zips ability (Zeke/AA/BW) to finish a game at the line. The team still worries me during the game. One more question for you wadzip, what is your opinion on both teams records if they switched schedules? I find myself watching some B10 ball this season, but you seem like you have seen more Columbus than I have (two games). I normally watch Mac games other than the Zips, but I just can't take it this year.

Nice post. We are a better team with Harney on the floor, but I also think we are a better team when Nick passes up the three. He does so many things well, everything about his stroke from beyond the arc makes me cringe.

Lots more observations in this thread.

I like the cover. BG is as bad as advertised. One of these days Akron is going to have to play to their potential. Cupcake tour '13 continues...

Only a 12 point favorite at home.

Nothing would make me happier than to draw Columbus State. Kind of surprising. [Edit] I didn't realize you can vote more than once. Change the word "surprising" to "funny."

“I got this crazy checkered pair that I wore earlier this season,” he said. “People really weren't paying attention, but they were crazy and checkered with orange and yellow green and a whole bunch of different colors, I like that pair a lot.” We all know exactly what socks he is speaking of. IMO, insert a photo of that pair in the article. Image should relate to text. Other than that, nice spin on the article.

Great piece, thanks for posting. I think some teammates are getting some easy looks this year the more defensive attention that Tree is commanding. Does Bruce know something about pronouncing KD's last name that I don't? Dam, not Dom, right?

The rotation the staff used in the OU game would be the one I would want to see play the majority of time throughout the rest of the season....and hopefully postseason. That team needs to be on the floor together as much as possible so they have a chance to cohere. Then we may start blowing out these MAC cupcakes like Ken+ did to Miami the other night in the first half.

AA's physical stature standing next to the graphic "think bigger" makes me chuckle.

And how! We should be blowing teams like these out of the gym...if this group has post season aspirations. I get all the whining KD is doing nationally to get in the minds of the "right" people at the end of the year if the Zips don't win at the Q. Seriously though, best thing to do is, PUT THE HAMMER DOWN on these cupcakes!!! Play like a top 25 team.

Due to the proximity to our South Beach apartment, and beer selection, I tried Becks Sapphire last week. Doesn't rate very well, but I thought it tasted pretty smooth. Worth a six pack try IMO. Beer selection in the north seems so much better than the south IMO. Although I have never had a good mojito in Ohio (compared to South Beach).

Good point, probably not a TB supporter/believer like us. His favorite teams are Auburn, Yankees, Saints, Packers....does he just pick teams that win recent championships?

Bleacher Report gives the Zips a D. Woodson & Lane being players that could see the field early.

Thursday Jan 17, 2013. New York Times crossword puzzle. 46 down, five letter word. City intersected by I-76 and I-77. More random, the crossword is printed out and sitting in a rental in South Beach. That answer was filled in?!?

Anyone care to guess the line on this? 10? 15? 15+

I figured you would like that. I like you, appreciate adaptation. I promise the next time I get a chance to speak with coach, I'll follow up for some clarification and repost in this thread. George, if you would like to use this as one of your mailbag questions feel free (start at the top of this post for clarification).

I agree. I just don't think people realize how much HD technology has dropped in price. Any chance you can put a highlight film of your daughter together for the Ken+ football staff?

Good news for GP1. In tonights press conference coach Bowden made the following statement while going over our new QB (Woodson) recruit's tape. "We are going to let the QB run for some first downs this year" I'll be happy to ask coach next time I see him what changed his mind from last season when he told us that he doesn't like his QB running because he would be at the bottom of a pile and he needs to lineup and get the next play called. I would guess that it stems from another quote of his, "we need to find a way to win in the Mac." I would bet Zac Dysert's game at the Info last year might have swayed coach some. But for the fans that would like to see the QB tuck the ball and take off, we might be in for something different this year. It was just one small comment, but it caught my attention. Anyone else catch it? PS I see Zac's name in some top 100 NFL draft pick lists this year. Best talent I saw at Info last season.

Only Akron defensive guy I have watched win a game almost by himself at Ken+. I typed this probably 15 times since he has left.
