Good move. Igor's back concerns me.

I personally like it at the Bowl. You can see better and it stinks to waste a nice day inside like the last two years.Too crowded at the fieldhouse. Only way they should have it inside is if extended forecast is crummy.

Hope they don't get out of hand again.

I like when he appears on 'Jackass Number Two'I was more shocked to see JT in the movie than any stunts they did !

Maybe!?!?

I happen to watch some of the Duquesne / Fordham game yesterday on fox sports ohio.I did not come away impressed with the Dukes. Akron is a much better team IMO.Slow zone defense. Zips should be aware that the center can shoot threes.

One part of Akron's game that worries me is getting pressed in the back court and turning the ball over.They have done a very poor job of that this year IMHO. Peay guys, does your team press well?

I think we all hope that. MAC refs are terrible.Here is a fine example for you

Nice posts Peaynation. I have enjoyed learning about your team through your posts.Stop back here to zipsnation after the game. Always good to hear the "other side's" perspective.Hey, you should be able to place a nice bet on the money line if your final comes in. Hope your a betting man. Anybody want to guess what the spread is going to be? I'm guessing the money line is +350.

I don't see how that happened?That slanted "A" is PURE genius I even saw it in the graphic design HOF.

Not signed, no school considered, grades at a 40

both.

Here is a list of recruits that were "considering" Akron that are still unsigned. List is from top ranked to lowest. Could our 25th recruit come from this list?!?Mike BrownRyan ZarnichJohn MurrayJeff PassmoreMatt WinegardnerJohn HokavarDyrri McCainJeff StewartLenonard SmithJohn PembertonLester BellZack BrownJames ButtsAaron DouglasKyle KozakJeff LinkLamar MasonBrian SumlarGeorge TabronTerence WhiteJalil Woods

I hope more "Rowdies" show up to that one. I counted 38 "kids" in rowdie shirts last night.I included the 12 year old that heaved the ball from half court.

No real big surprises for Zipsnation readers, because CK posted all but two recruits, Ryan Simpson and Deni Odofin before signing day. Many props to CK. After watching film on all the recruits I'll give you little tid-bits that JD made about a random few:Jake Anderson: very hard worker, recruited by UConn. Brian Brikowski: needs to grow into his body, has huge hands, could end up playing any LB position. Jali Carter: recruited by Toledo to play WR, JD convinced him that being a 6'1" DB at Akron would be a better choice. Marquinn Davis: raw talent, Marquinn doesn't know how good he can be, ready to work hard. Sean Fobbs: this guy is a hitter (his tape shows that too), could play safety or LB. Vincent Hill: only recruit that needs work in the classroom but should be okay, all accomplishments during senior year were done with a torn ligament which has been fixed since. Impressive tape, diving plays, one hand catches.Dan Marcoux: good grades and good character. Da-Von Moore: will play defense, DB or LB. Deni Odofin: benches over 300, serious pass rusher and a good bball player. Joe Rash: plays very fast (very impressive tape). Matt Rodgers: an intelligent guy, loves the game. (strong arm in my opinion, has good release)Dan Ronsman: will play G or C, good motor. Almondo Sewell: could play bandit, runs down hill (to me, most impressive tape, Zips fans are going to love this guy). Paul Simkovich: de-committed from Mich St also offered from Miami U and Louisville. Stuck with us.Bryan Williams: JD was very excited about Bryan coming to Akron, mentioned many times how this could open doors to other quality area recruits accepting here.Read Bios on every player at GoZipsAccording to Rivals, Akron leads the MAC...againAddressing both lines was a priority.This class has good chemistryOther random information gathered.The big question on the minds of everyone, the stadium. From Mack "we will be ready to announce in late spring, early summer"Another big question on the board (in many posts), Igor. From JD, he hurt his back, was going to get surgery, doctor decided it wasn't necessary. Still having problems, going for second opinion. JD "we hope to have him ready to go at the beginning of the season"JD stressed that this class was solid from top to bottom. This class has a lot of character guys to go along with all the athletics.Coach Moorhead stressed that he thinks this is their best class.When asked who has the best chance to see the field next year from this class, JD offered that Bryan Williams will have a good chance.Congrats to all the coaches for there hard work.

My favorite word on LOID.

Might see some friendly faces back on campus

Fans are really getting ready for this one early. I took a few photos yesterday.

Do you remember when opposing fans would taunt the Straw with chants of DAR-ryl, DAR-ryl?I think they even did a Simpson's parody of it when Lisa and Bart chanted.Same.

:bow:If you get the proper graphics with this, you have struck gold.A nice....AAAAAAA--DAMMMM AAAAAAA--DAMMMM chant every time he touches the ball.real name is Adam
