[Zips Tailgating]

Have you heard about the new Student Tailgate lot the Athletic Department has created? It will be directly across the street from Lot 9 (north of Subway) and will be free for students with a campus parking pass. First come, first served. Hopefully you can take advantage of this.

Any idea that helps get students there is a good one. Is this publicized anywhere???

By George Thomas

University of Akron freshman Imani Davis has an attitude. That’s a good thing.

Davis, a 5-foot-9 recruit from Belen Jesuit Prep in Miami, Fla., walked onto the UA campus as a cornerback, but now is a wide receiver with something to prove.

“I came in with a chip on my shoulder. I have family back home that I want to make proud. The whole offseason I’ve been working my tail off,” he said after Wednesday afternoon’s practice. “The entire summer my trainer just preached and preached to me: ‘Go to college and make an immediate impact as a freshman.’ From that day on I’ve been working out, trying hard and doing what I could.”

A two-way player at Belen, he made all-county as a senior. But when it came time for the college offers to come, he started with four and that eventually dwindled to two before the Zips swooped in with a late offer.

I will have plenty of cooking capacity this year for visitors to use.

Did you finally close the deal on that truck?

Put your drinks in a Zips plastic cup, properly dispose of your bottles and cans, and you won't get hassled by the "authorities."

Had the Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter last night on tap. Not bad. Neither flavor was over powering. Nice balance.

I could get Saban 20 more yards of distance off the tee by changing his finish on his swing.

Who cares what he thinks.

I don't care about his opinions at all.

If he reports the correct time, date, and if the game will be broadcast, I would be happy.

[Sporting News Piece on Coach Bowden]

It's like they don't even care about the school or the program in general.

Wins and coach Bowden will give them a reason to care. Hopefully we are at the beginning of a new era.

I am trying to erase the last two years from my memory, can you help by leaving the past in the past?

Maybe take the last two schedules and bury them in your backyard.

[Akron football players Wearing Ohio State gear]

Can't blame anyone for not wanting to be associated with Ianello's regime, can you?

I would have wore an anti Notre Dame shirt on early week workouts.

Midweek I would be more subtle and don some anti Minnesota gear.

Late in the week when I was feeling sarcastic, a shirt that read "Spirited Workout" would be nice.

I think this guy might agree with you, but I'm not sure?

I saw this on SI's Extra Mustard today and thought of this thread.

I guess if you ever visit UVA you should try a Gus Burger at White Spot. I did when the Zips played there. Not a fan.

Good question for @GeorgeThomasABJ

[The Beer Thread]

...you are going to have to try the good with the bad. You have to be a sport. I tried the Iron City Light Mango last year!

I made bacon infused vodka one time to make martinis with. Wasn't a fan.

I tried this on vacation this year and was actually able to drink two bottles. I say I'm not a fruity beer fan, but I'm starting to think I'm lying to myself since I'm also enjoying many Summer Shandy's this year. PS If anybody can explain to me why it is "illegal" for someone in Summit County to buy a keg of Summer Shandy at Superior Beverage, I'm all ears...

[Dennis Dodd Column today]

For Clayton's sake, I personally still hope he matures.

...& grows three inches. For Jackson's fans sake.

Dennis Dodd writing about the Zips...impressive. I wish I would have learned something, but I don't think ZN was the intended audience.

No.

Hello opportunity

[New blog post: Day 5 at Camp Zippy]

Great information, thanks.

Camp Zippy??? Sounds like a camp for kids, or mascots.

[Ticket Exchange]

Hopefully this will be available for basketball and football.

This would be a great idea for all parties involved.
