Since this discussion has taken off, I suppose I'll add my 2 cents and try to not be too critical (even though as a member of the media you should be used to criticism). I'll start off by saying I completely understand the business perspective and have zero problems with the number of articles published about the Zips. I do take issue with what seems to be...lack of overall motivation/likeness of covering the Zips. Why do we always have to find out about recruit commitments through Zach doing a random twitter search or why can't statements that any real fan would know be correct (Mizell sitting out last season). Info such as commitments, observations at practice, recruiting targets, etc doesn't have to have a whole article dedicated to it. Tweets get the job done and give the fans that care information. It just comes off as disengaged and GT just covering the Zips because he has to, to me. While they may not be as talented as GT, I thoroughly enjoy reading Hustlebelt much more than ABJ because they are fans who are passionate about their teams and seem to care. Ex- the Penn St- cross blog- Q&A was already done earlier this week by Hustlebelt.

Pitt vs BC right now on ESPN for anyone who is interested.

Hell yes

I know Zipmeister tries to be a troll 100% of the time, but surely I'm not the only one who has no idea what he's going for 75% of the time

Where did you all go to for tickets? I might be looking to go last minute.

Him attending games many years ago or not wanting to attend games because Ianello has nothing to do with my post, nor was it meant to be taken as a shot at Lebron. My post is concerning the present and morr of a "the powers that be" need to get it in gear. OSU knows how to use him, it's time we follow suit. Marshall and BG seem like some fun games to attend this season and some games where recruits will be in attendance. He isn't going to go to Detroit to watch us play in a MAC championship or Mobile for a bowl game.

Nobody is expecting Kansas, OSU, etc to come play at Akron. Can't believe it even has to be pointed out. Couldn't agree with Dr. z anymore. Don't tell me it's impossible for Akron to go to someone's house and play when there are other quality teams in the conference doing it every season.

I don't know about you, but I'm not content with the program staying at the same level.

So there is a strong rumor that Lebron will be at the OSU-Va Tech game this weekend. Huge recruiting tool for them. Seems like its becoming an annual thing. What do we need to do to get him to attend some football games?

what do I think is easy to make happen?

disappointing as usual. Insanity- doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Sorry to hear about Johnson. On the bright side, now maybe Dino can "groom" his inexperienced QBs the way he wants them, too! LOL

I'm still extremely frustrated at the whole situation. Cannot believe a national coaching search was not conducted. Still remember being at a football game where the Rowdies were holding up "Hire Embick" signs..ugh

I thought he moved back to Puerto Rico. Must have had a change of heart. Good luck to him if true.

Stadium holds 30k I believe without looking it up. I've only been following the Zips for 5 seasons (since I started attending UA) and believe they brought in a bigger opponent to play at the Browns stadium before. The stadium is designed to expand a sizeable amount I believe, which is a plus. Not sure if there is room to bring in temporary seating?

appreciate the insight PSU_Lions

I watched some of the game, but have it recorded and going to watch before I post my prediction/pre game analysis. If this Zips want to win a game like this..they will need to cash in on every chance they can..which means making FGs and XPs, and I have to say my confidence isn't too high after game 1.

Appreciate the work Balzy. Always interesting to look out how the conference fares against others.

another blunder by our own beat writer. shocker.

the MAC is wide open. I didnt understand the Matt Johnson hype coming into the season. He is a solid QB, but I didn't understand where this POTY talk was coming from. Welcome to D-1 football Babers. Good thing you have those young WRs so you can mold them "your way" lol. WKU is far from a world beater.

It is on ESPN3. If you have time warner, you can watch it.

Brown has been granted his waiver and is starting tonight per Hustlebelt. Mod edit: Source

Never heard of her. Go zips!

Whether you agree or disagree/obviously dislike. It's still sad there is more coverage from the PD than the ABJ. There isn't even a MAC team in Cleveland.

Seems to be the strategy the Browns are using with Manziel as well.
