Next time you're having a bad day, think of Akron DL coach Todd Stroud

Stress will not be an issue. Frustration will. Being here once before, he knows what he will be dealing with. I hope he is the one to create change, not only on the field, but off.

Maybe she will be the new OC, and that is how they are making the financials work? Could she be worse than Milwee?

Yep, Microsoft Edge is an issue. Surprising from a Microsoft product 🤓 @LZIpI checked the support community, and it seems Edge is an issue. I'll keep my eyes open for a fix on the next update, and let you know. Sorry. BTW, there are many issues being discussed on Edge, most often given solution, switch browsers.

Hmmm, I've had no issues. I use safari, once I paste the link, it converts immediately. Try using another browser and let me know. Possibly Chrome.

We have had twice as many guests online as we do members this week. I would encourage Zips fans browsing to join in. If anyone needs help, let me know. All the Kent fans should remain as a guest. 😂

George reports on the reports.

I would love to see Jojo get some snaps at WR, seems like the offense could use someone with Jojo's speed in a handful of situational packages. I was always impressed with his catch radius, and hands for a smaller receiver.

A decade ago, the ZN search committee come up with Joe Moorhead as their leading candidate. 😀

I'm looking forward to the future, and a new staff. Hopefully, a staff with FBS experience, and solid resumes.

Doc was born in 1957, 64 years old. Would be a good interview, but he doesn't seem like an Akron hire to me. At the very least, he is familiar with the Mac and Akron. Head coach Doc Holliday Postgame Interview after Akron (9/17/2016) (terrible audio)

Not sure I trust that FootballScoop has credible "multiple sources" on this. Did it come from the known liar himself?!? In case anyone doesn't know, or needs a good refresher on Bobby's controversies, click here. Hard to believe this was 2012 I'm fairly confident Bobby is not the right hire for Akron. You can cross him off the list Mr Guthrie.

Nothing earth-shattering, but a new feature added to the site today. You now have the ability to add stock photos from Pixabay. When you post, you will see in the bottom right you will see a dropdown "Other Media", one of the choices is "insert stock photo" Select, and type in a keyword in the search field. Example: "kickoff" Select your image. This will add it to the uploaded images area below your post. Click on the image, and it will insert it in your post. Double click on your photo, and you have the ability to adjust the size and alignment. (the below image is 333 pixels wide with left alignment)

Reminder for new users. (see above) @zipsoutsider @Zips Win! We lost some images during a host file transfer some time back. I guessed, and replaced your profile photo. Feel free to change if you don't approve. If anyone needs help, let me know. Happy to help.

@Blue & Gold Reactions per day have been increased to 10 per day. Enjoy. 🥳

"Former Akron defensive coordinator Todd Stroud, now a special assistant to Manny Diaz at Miami is on the list" Thank gawd. This gives me confidence at least someone has a clue.

To all members, New upgrade is now complete. There is still some reindexing working in the background. I'm guessing it will be finished by the end of the day. Kind regards, ZipsNation Staff

Your source is a good one.

American Rust, new show on ShowTime. The story focuses on Buell, Pennsylvania, a dying steel town. Jobs are disappearing, methadone use is increasing, and home foreclosures are rising. One of the characters continues to live in this town instead of taking a "Div I" scholarship. It is referenced multiple times in the first three episodes..."not sure why you just don't take that Div I scholarship Billy" It's mentioned so much, I started repeating it to my wife as we were watching it. Finally, one of the characters says "yeah Billy, you should have just went to Akron" BTW, If you liked Mare of Easttown (dumb name for a show), you will probably like American Rust. Similar storyline, cinematography, backing music, etc.

Winners from Week 7 in college football Louisiana-Monroe After a 2020 season that ranks among the worst by any team in FBS history, Louisiana-Monroe is now 3-3 under new coach Terry Bowden after beating Liberty 31-28. How surprising was that? The Warhawks were 33-point underdogs but held star quarterback Malik Willis to 135 yards with three interceptions, though Willis did run for 157 yards and two scores. To have three wins with a shot at bowl eligibility — South Alabama, Texas State and Arkansas State are winnable games — is an amazing achievement based on the situation Bowden inherited source

I agree. He is a great communicator, and extremely knowledgeable, I suggested the same in 2018. Can someone pay me some kind of BS search committee fee?

Stroud Scared of Akron's Defensive Line, Takes Week Off to Concentrate on Easier Games. Of course, ESPN has their own "spin" 🤣
