Dr Z

Were you the one that argued post after post last year how we didn't need a different pg, and #4 was a good pg, and used all kind of crazy stats to try to prove it? If I have you confused with someone else, I apologize.

Gerry Faust recommended him

Thanks for the link. I can't believe I just listened to WCan't State. I liked Amanda. Bluto is worse to listen to than read. S's kill him to get through those lips. Ssssssocer. Sssssecond. Sssssanta Barbra. Ssssssippy Bus. His best comment "crazy shootouts are like flipping a coin" I learned that the hard way last year. His worst "Mrs Lee had a lot to do with where Cliff signed" When I used to read the BJ, he would write this about every FA. Give it up already. What I learned: Akron was second in the country in attendance in soccer home games.

If somebody put a gun to my head and said "give Z one suggestion to make his game better or I'll shoot you", I would say footwork. I think he gets sideways on defense sometimes. That's when I think he gets in foul trouble. We need him on the floor as much as possible. PS I think this game will make us a better team come March.

I hope AA & QD continue to work hard. Both with 20+ minutes last night.

It's not their fault, you can't get the internet on frisbees or hacky sacks yet.

Source The search for Pitt's next head football coach has heated up over the past 24 hours and it appears, according to sources, that Miami of Ohio coach Michael Haywood is closing in on landing the job. Haywood was one of the first known candidates to be contacted and interviewed by Pitt last week and he is now the first one who has been brought to campus for a second interview as well as to meet with Chancellor Mark Nordenberg and other key people involved with the hiring process. A spokesman for Pitt would not confirm or deny the that Haywood is on campus interviewing and stressed that "the job has not yet been offered to anyone." But sources around both the Miami and Pitt programs believe he will have the job offered to him today and will quickly accept. If all goes well today, Haywood could be introduced as the next coach as early as tomorrow and then would immediately get started on assembling a staff and trying to retain most of Pitt's nationally ranked recruiting class. If hired, Haywood would become Pitt's first African-American head football coach. He has been the coach of the Redhawks for the past two seasons and has led them to a record of 10-15. However, that record doesn't tell his entire story, as he took over an awful program and, after going 1-11 in his first season, led the Redhawks to a record of 9-4 this season. They won the Mid-American Conference championship game over Northern Illinois. Prior to arriving at Miami, Haywood was the offensive coordinator under Charlie Weis at Notre Dame from 2005 to 2008 and had stops at Texas and LSU as well.

The Ol Chap is right! The commercials the NFL has now a days are totally ridiculous. TD, extra point....commercial....kickoff....commercial...play from scrimmage, uh oh, the ball might have touched a blade of grass on the reception, let's review that play....commercial....after further review the play stands as called....play from scrimmage.....injury time out....commercial....play from scrimmage, that's the end of the first quarter....commercial. Something needs to be done. I DVR MNF & SNF and start to watch them an hour after kickoff so I can ff through the advertising.

If you are a fan of HBO, Hard Knocks, or the Winter Classic, a reminder that starts tomorrow.. I love behind the scenes sports stuff. I wish HBO 24/7 did this for Akron soccer. I would guess Tom W is in negotiations now for next season.

I thought you learned your lesson when you posted that PN7 broke his ankle? For the umpteenth time, if you post a rumor, just post "I read a rumor on (provide link) that this coach is coming to Akron." Now the reader realizes that it is a rumor and where it comes from.

Is this, your source of information? Will you ever let anyone on this forum consider a source for your information?

Don't you think there is more than one answer to this question? How can you argue why somebody doesn't care about something? Here is my reasoning. I'm a huge hockey fan, but 1-0 games and 2-1 games used to bore me on TV. The NHL changed their rules, less grabbing, started calling interference, got rid of a blue line, reduced goalie pads, increased space behind goalie net. The rule changes opened up the offense, and it became a more entertaining game. Now I can't get enough. I have never been a soccer fan. Went to one BG/Akron game a few years back. I watched both the semi final game and the final game on TV last year. Never got to see a goal. That is not entertaining to me. This is why it is not entertaining for me. I don't care if they change the rules or not, I'll probably never be a soccer fan. I can also be entertained by watching a no hitter, but I don't think that lack of offense can be compared to that of soccer's lack of scoring. I'm not even sure why soccer fans get "bothered" by fans of other sports not getting as excited about the sport that they love. I could care less that Americans don't enjoy hockey, I do, and that is all that matters to me. Enjoy this time, there is no better college soccer team in college for 2010. That will NEVER change. Congratulations to the team and staff for all their hard work.

I can see into the future.

Well, Ianallo does like to take players away from their best position and put them somewhere else. Sorry, it was just too tempting! Seriously, though, nice get on that Cincy kid. Small, but beating out UC and at least 3 MAC schools is solid recruiting. I remember in a JD signing day press conference, some media dolt asked, "Why do you recruit so many RB's and QB's and then tell us they are going to play another position when they come to Akron." JD's response was "in high school, most of the time, you will find your best athletes on the team play RB & QB."

That youtube thing is lame, IMO. Makes me glad I turned off WTAM 10 years ago. This is well done IMO. It's specifically made for GP1 I think. Try to get to Tony Dungy. Good for LBJ for giving props to the soccer team. Somebody from the U should send him some championship gear.

Okay, let's see what kind of recruiter iCoach is going to be here at Akron. Can he out recruit Dave Christensen at Wyoming? I wonder how good his receivers and offensive line were at MGCCC?

The new logo is terrible IMO. The last one was creative, this one is not.

Wasn't Al 1-11 his first year in the MAC?

Nice follow up DIG. Personally I'm not sure what the big deal is. If iCoach released a statement and said "I'm not impressed with Dr Z." It wouldn't change one thing for me. I have been a Zips fan long before iCoach got here, and will be one long after he is gone. With that said, good luck to him, I hope he does a bang up job here and gets his head coaching dream job next.

Is that Steve's brother that made that prediction?

Like the great George W Bush said "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again"

Thanks for the input. Your statement means more to me than any BS rivals stars.

I don't think so. I remember Austin Bailey saying the exact same thing, and he seems like a good one to me.

Please Louisville, I can't sit through another 0-0 game with NC.

I'll stick with my prediction on Monday, and go with 1 red card & 1 yellow (whatever those are).
