Good idea.Here is the link to the story

That's GREAT.I have a friend that told me this, but he could only remember half of it.Thanks for the rest.

It always amazes me that people miss this simple point.

A-K..

I would just like to learn something about the team that I root for if I read an article on my team.I have never learned anything reading a DLM article on the Zips.Other side of the coin. Razor. I learn many things about the Zips that I didn't know when I read his stuff. Because he is a fan and finds out information that Zips fans want to know. When you are not a fan of the team and don't really care, you write a bunch of dribble and pretend like you did your job. Or maybe he is just really bad at his job. People on this board find out much more info than DLM and don't have access to the team the way he does.

We should always be ready.Here is another way to look at it. The Zips went to NC State last season and beat a bad team, then went straight into the . Maybe the same happened here. Time will tell. One injured QB will turn that team upside down.

I think the point K-Roo is trying to make is that DLM is a YSU fan, not a Zips fan and he writes for the AKRON paper about the Zips. Is it any wonder Zips fans get inferior coverage of their team????

The first ever "Patriot Bowl" will take place as Akron hosts Army at Cleveland Browns Stadium (capacity: 73,079) on Saturday. Unfortunately, reports are that ticket sales are seriously lagging for this one and the Patriot Bowl may wind up being one of the more poorly attended games this weekend in the MAC.

from Razor's blog: Running back — Dennis Kennedy, then Bryan Williams. No love for Alex Allen or Andre Walker? Walker previously was the second-stringer. I figured Allen would be No. 2 after camp. He was very impressive. I have to think that Alex is going to get some carries this year.

use the search button, you will find plenty on the 3-3-5.Igor beating Domonkos out is a minor surprise to me.At least it is a change. I hope Igor is 100% healthy.

Rookie FA that makes the first cut has a chance for the practice squad.I'm shocked that he hasn't got any playing time, most teams have played 4 QBs in preseason.

20-0 Knights....no, I mean, 20-0 Zips this time. The weather is all the difference in this one.Mondo, 2 sacks.

I think the Zips are 0-7 in their last seven independent matchups. I can't give you a link, but I remember reading that in one of the betting books.

Remember the Vick pick as he was covering Andre Davis?

Technically, he played before and after 2000.Dude had the best closing speed on a ball I have seen.

How about the one with a ring?

F Marshall!

Fearless predictions by ESPN clowns

Pluto joins sports columnists Bill Livingston and Bud Shaw. He will continue to write his Sunday notes column, which he said he patterns after the style of Hal Lebovitz, the late sports editor of The Plain Dealer."Bud and Bill have different styles and opinions than I do, and that's why this can be a lot of fun," Pluto said. "It gives the readers three different approaches, and I can't wait to work with them."Along with his sportswriting duties, Pluto also will write two or three faith columns each month for the PD's religion section.

please take your Suckeye discussion here

This is the BJ's chance to get my quarter back. My guess is a YSU grad takes his spot.I'm interested to hear Rasor's take on this.

I'm not sure what JD is doing, flip the coin already. Zips still wait to hear choice for quarterbackNo clear passing leader emerges after a week of preseason practiceBy David Lee Morgan Jr. Beacon Journal sportswriterPublished on Tuesday, Aug 14, 2007A week into preseason camp for the University of Akron football team and STILL no decision on who is the No. 1 quarterback.With the season-opener against Army at Cleveland Browns Stadium less than three weeks away, one would think that the quarterback scenario would have played itself out by now. But it hasn't.Zips coach J.D. Brookhart isn't concerned, even though ideally he was hoping to have the starter named after the first week of preseason drills.''We're not pressed for that at all,'' Brookhart said. ''As long as we're having guys going through their ups and downs and working those things out, we'll be OK.''Sophomores Carlton Jackson and Chris Jacquemain and true freshman Matt Rodgers are all getting equal reps in practice. Jackson, theoretically, has a slight edge, mainly because he was the backup to Luke Getsy last season. But describing Jackson as a backup is somewhat misleading when you consider he appeared in only four games and attempted and completed one pass for 2 yards.As much as he has stayed with the company line, making sure he says all the right things when it comes to being a team player, Jackson wants the starting job.He's not frustrated somewhere between anxious and mystified.''Who wouldn't be?'' asked Jackson, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound Pompano Beach, Fla., native. ''But we just come out here and do what we can to limit our mistakes. The coaches do a lot of judging on the errors we make and the (bad) decisions we make. Since a decision hasn't been made yet, it gives us more drive to come out and execute. It brings out the best in all of us, and regardless of who becomes the starter, I have faith in the other guys and I know they have faith in me.''Meanwhile, Jacquemain, a 6-2, 210-pound Mentor native, has shown that he is very capable. He has done nothing but impress Brookhart and the staff with his play. And Rodgers, who was recently moved up to the No. 3 spot after redshirt freshman Sean Hakes left the team, has been impressive enough that he has earned valuable snaps.Backs look goodThe Zips have solid and experienced running backs in junior Dennis Kennedy and senior Andre Walker. Redshirt sophomore Alex Allen, who missed all of last season after a knee injury, has rebounded strongly. But junior running back Bryan Williams, a Buchtel High School star, is definitely making a name for himself at the University of Akron. After leaving the University of Pittsburgh to attend Valley Forge (Pa.) Military Academy the past two seasons, where he was a running back and defensive back, he is now solely a running back and is turning heads and catching eyes.During practice on Monday, Williams, who also was an all-state sprinter, had a long run that showcased his speed. Brookhart is high on him.
