Chase is the man in the middle...for now. Chase Blackburn ended last season as the Giants’ starting middle linebacker. Now it looks like he’ll open this summer’s training camp as the starting MLB, too. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell confirmed that on Friday when he said Blackburn “goes back to that role” when the full-team minicamp opens next month. There had been much speculation about who the MLB would be, especially after the Giants’ traded for outside linebacker Keith Rivers. Giants GM Jerry Reese had even dropped Michael Boley’s name into the mix for that job. Fewell, though, said Blackburn is still his guy.

Ban College Football? Safety, exploitation at center of debate on college football ban

Sorry, I have to bail on this. Good luck.

I'm going to guess, for most ZN members, this is what irks them the most. LBJ made $44 million in 2011. Lets assume he donated what you say he did. What is the total value of that donation? Lets assume you made $100,000 in 2011. Now what monetary donation can you make that would equal LBJ's "donation" to progrum? Can someone figure it out?

No, I don't think the last staff taught any QB to lock on to receivers.

Source The Browns and the University of Akron will hold an “Akron Football Friday” luncheon this week. Mike Holmgren will be a keynote speaker. The event will be emceed by Jim Donovan. Browns tight end Benjamin Watson, former players and Zips football coach Terry Bowden are scheduled to attend. “The game of football at all levels is ingrained in the culture of Northeast Ohio and we're honored to work with the Cleveland Browns and the Greater Akron Chamber on this exciting event,” Bowden said in a statement. “My staff and I look forward to showing off the campus and our football facilities to the Browns organization and their loyal fans.” The luncheon is open to the public. Individual tickets are $25 and corporate tables are $250. Reservations are required. To purchase tickets visit here. The luncheon will take place at the University of Akron Student Union Ballroom, located at 303 Carroll St., Akron. 11:00 - 11:30 AM - Registration and Networking 11:30 AM - Lunch Served 11:45 AM - Keynote Address by Cleveland Browns President Mike Holmgren I would be interested to read any ZN members highlights if they attend.

I watched most home games, and most on TV last year. My evaluation came up with Moore having a tough time making any throws outside the hash marks. Locking on to receivers too often. Too many balls batted down at the line due to his lack of height. With that being said, I hope he grew two inches, and is benefiting from the new coaching staff and system. Go Zips.

Maybe the guy peeked at his stat line?

I'm going to pass, but thanks. Really Big Show Link. Ad at the top for lunch with JT if you want to hear him tell you how to be great.

Alex had plenty of offers. He showed interest in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford.

I wonder how different this thread would read if LBJ still played for the Cavs. I'm guessing "extremely" (minus one member).

Thanks for the review, I frequent South Beach in the winter, I'll keep my eye open for Cigar City brews.

Scout Profile ** Recorded 67 tackles and 7 sacks for 5A state champion Hamilton HS of Chandler. Playing time was the major factor in redshirt freshman linebacker's decision to leave Washington

I'll move it to "General Campus" now, since the only thing we have proof of him doing is trying to sell an Akron T-shirt. When someone else can provide some more information (hopefully basketball), we'll move it again.

I have had more people than I would have thought walk up to me (or email me) and say "I hear Akron is going to sell beer at the football games this year." So at the very least, the U is hitting some different demographics. Everyone seemed like it was a positive that spoke/wrote to me.

Probably? I have seen LBJ at a dozen Zips games at the JAR and at the Q during the MAC tourney, I have never seen him at two OSU games.

Ticket Donation Progrum

They may have crummy Bud Light, but it won't be cheap.

I was pretty sure this would happen eventually, I think they just didn't want any "heat" when opening it up new. From now on, I'm just getting dropped off at Lot 9, and using the designated driver program. Is Keener giving the alcohol training class to employees? Source: here. • Wristbands will be required to purchase, and will be distributed at a separate identification stand. • IDs still will be checked at the concessions stands with every purchase, and a wristband must be shown. • A maximum of two beers will be sold per transaction. • Beer sales will conclude at the end of the third quarter. • Beer will be sold only at stands around the concourse. • The same employee will check identification, collect money and then serve the customer, in that order. • All employees who serve will have completed an alcohol training class. • An alcohol-free section of the stadium will be established. • Responsible drinking will continue to be promoted. • Designated driver programs will be established and promoted. • Additional staffing, including security and clean up, will be hired as necessary.

We are getting worse!?!?

Come on, BG is beating us...seriously ZN. Step it up.
