Very little to report. The "interview" was very quick. Looking into renovations. George Van Horne is in charge of it. Everybody (fans, coach, players) deserve upgrade. Contact George if you want to help. I'll giving you the email address, interviewer forgot ghvanhorne@uakron.edu.

I thought the same. I'm loving the Zips scoring from the baseline on some nice passing. That has been open for two decades. Diggin Ivy's game. Big fan of TDM's motor, his alley-oop shows me he has the potential to entertain. I want more Poke, less Reghi. If Kwan put it in the work on the off-season that was described, it shows. He looks comfortable and effective out there. Show me more offense Zips, I'm loving it!

Some add-on will have the stream. I have heard the Phoenix add-on has had good success.

Go to Ebay and type in "fire stick kodi fully loaded" Happy New Year.

IMO, Woodson became more of an experienced passer, and didn't have to rely on running. The lack of his called running plays was related to his injured shoulder. If healthy, I would be a little surprised if he were not the starter for the PSU game. It's great to have some real competition at the position though. Hopefully the overall depth at the position will improve dramatically.

I'm not good at making an evaluation of a high school kid from their highlight video. Too many variables for me. But I did see some quick decision making in a lot of those highlights. That is the most positive thing that stood out to me. I also like his quick release and mechanics, he must have had a good coach early. It seems like he is more than capable in beating man coverage. His school uses a lot of the same formation and personnel that AJ does. He seems to have some ability to beat pressure with his feat. I like that the Zips are focusing on the QB position this offseason, depth is the reason I didn't get to see a Zips bowl game this year. I would like a film of his seven interceptions this year, and read his explanation of each. I wonder how many of those come off the receivers hands? I could probably learn more from that than I can from watching him throw 40 yard td bombs in man coverage. Welcome Alex, Go Zips!

This has become an annual thread (sort of), so we will continue. 2016 - 2015 - 2014 Feel free to explain your thoughts below...they won't be worse than Mel Kiper's useless opinions. Is there a franchise QB this year? How many QB's will go in the first round? How many QB's will be drafted? Cole Thompson from the USA Today has Wyoming's Josh Allen at number 5 overall !?!

I know Miami ended up losing, but I found this interesting ? Ibrahima Camara (@ibrahimaXcamara) 12/26/16, 12:42 PM We blew Miami OH out and there beating Mississippi State ? smh

Nick Johns could have stayed at Virginia, but he’d have to stop playing the only position he’s known since high school. “We were at meetings after spring ball,” Johns told The Daily Progress, “and the coaches basically said they wanted to switch me to running back or linebacker.” Johns, a redshirt freshman quarterback, announced his decision to transfer from the Cavaliers on Wednesday morning, posting to Twitter that UVa granted him an unrestricted release to play elsewhere.

Worth watching the very end of this game (I love ESPN3) to see how YSU won. The TE caught the ball on a defenders back, and went to the ground with it on his back...on the last play of the game. Trying to decide what is worse, Pelini's clock management, or the field color

Good question. I saw Tyler Gabriel being interviewed on his recent success yesterday, and JoJo popped into my mind. It's a cliche, but it's true, it's a copycat league. Within the last year, I stood next to JoJo, and Travis Benjamin, if there is a difference in their size and weight, I can't see it. TB is listed at 175...no way. I don't know know if JoJo has NFL aspirations. I hope he is at Akron's pro day. JoJo is rated 46 out of 382 WR's here. Also listed at 165. How many receivers did you watch in college football this year that have more talent than JoJo? This is a year old, but you get the idea. 25 Lightest Players in the NFL 1Patrick MurrayKTB5' 7"160 2Cairo SantosKKC5' 8"160 3Jalen SaundersWRNO5' 9"165 4Nickell RobeyCBBUF5' 8"165 5Trindon HollidayWRSF5' 5"166 6Taylor GabrielWRCLE5' 8"167 7Dexter McClusterRBTEN5' 8"170 8Dri ArcherWRPIT5' 8"173 9Damaris JohnsonWRHOU5' 8"175 10Onterio McCalebbCBCIN5' 10"175 11Travis BenjaminWRCLE5' 10"175 12Marcus SherelsCBMIN5' 10"175 13Tony CarterCBDEN5' 9"175 14Robert NelsonCBCLE5' 9"175 15Chris WilliamsWRCHI5' 8"175 16Elbert MackCBHOU5' 10"175 17Tavon AustinWRSTL5' 8"176 18De'Anthony ThomasRBKC5' 8"176 19Alex HeneryKDET6' 1"177 20Solomon PattonWRTB5' 9"177 21T.Y.
