I dont know exactly how many people are going to show up but I will tell you one thing: The first game at the Info against Morgan St. was ROCKIN'. I can;t wait till the day when it happens again. Although real early I expect a big turnout. I'm guessing 25,000. Go ZIPS!!! Beat UCF!!!

This can't be... surely through someone we would have known about this. It seemed pretty clear from his Dad getting on ZNO that he was gone. Same with Coach Bowden saying he couldn't change Bwags mind....

Very interesting!

...I just think the current expectation is "students sit in the ends in the upper bowl" and thats what you get. Gotta get us sitting down low.

I don't think many people notice but there is 2 rows that are pushed in to make room for the Press sitting on the floor. IDK if those could actually be utalized by relocating those sitting on the floor or not. Also Instead of making the one section just for "Rowdies Only" (I understand you can get there if you aren't a Rowdie but the perception is that its an exclusive click of friends not a representation of the student body itself...) Make a ton of room in the lower ring and seat student there first. any other students will then have to "overflow" in the nosebleed behind the stupid black handrail. Get a section of students down low that encourages student participation (including standing, cheering, chanting, harassing, ect..) Also, Its annoying the students have to walk behind the JAR to get in and in doing so lose out on a lot of possible concession sales. Thats my .02 Bottom line is get students together, and down on the floor more than just the 50 Rowdies.

Actually just watched this whole tape and he is a complete stud. I am shocked no one picked this guy up. I am shocked we didn't just get him the scholarship and claim him as ours. This guy will be huge. Early on in the highlights he didn't make many long passes but the playoff games he had no problem slinging it down the field. He showed running ability and wow I am completely impressed. Welcome to the team! Go ZIPS!!!

Video of Press Conference: I am stoked.

Whats this about Tressel?????

Crossing my fingers for Wade Edwards...kid looks like a stud. (Arlington McClinton already signed @ Zachthezip)

It was posted elsewhere but that first video is of 2010. This video is 2011. Andrew Pratt 2011

Im pumped that Pratt will be a ZIP. He was the go to guy this past season for the Bulldogs (Green is my alma mater) He will be joining his former classmate Dylan Brumbaugh, who redshirted last year Bio. Congratulations Andrew! Go ZIPS!!! @ Z.I.P.: yes Green installed the turf 3 years ago and it looks excellent. Although the football team has been atrocious since leaving natural sod.

I meant to take it to the UA bookstore. Petition them to get them made. We just have to convince them that they can sell atleast 100 jerseys. Its pitiful we can't get the real thing.

Not to hijack the thread but: We could start a petition of people who would buy authentic football jerseys or hell pitch to them that we have to pre-order them and once they get 100 preorders....no risk there. I think they would be shocked at the amount they could sell even if they were $200 a pop. I'd get three just with the people in my household. You can't sit there and tell me that they wouldn't sell 100 jerseys to some 28,000 student body. That's insane.

...and he is 6'5 none of this add an inch or two. It was very fun watching him play this last year for Green (didn't miss a game)

Pratt is way under the radar because that was his I believe first or second year playing football.... he's a basketball guy.

Student for a few more months Then alumnus. Go ZIPS!!!

The energy is phenomenal tonight.

wow. Diggs is a boss. ..... NIKOLA!! 3 in a row.

Just drove by the stadium and the lights were on.... Get a good look recruits, you guys can be winning championships there....

Any mention or discussion of Andrew Pratt out of Green HS? 6'5 WR. JW.

They may have a had him in the I formation but he's caught plenty of passes and thrown a few as well. He is an athlete and dominated every opponent. Maybe be a little short I wanna say 5'6 or 5'7 but he's got some speed, he can run. His numbers were way down in 2010 due to injury (broke his collar bone while playing Green High School) but this year he came back and carried the team. If you're gonna take risks on some of these other guys, Snowball is a man worth investing in.

Meaning they feel the current QB situation is a good one or that they are onto someone?

Make it happen.

So you are saying we aren't going to win with the 70 some players that are already on the team? Chisholm averaged close to 90 yards a game I'm not about to forget about him just yet. There are players on this team that will make a huge impact next year. Its not about remembering the past its definitely about moving forward but we have 3+clases of players that make up our current team. I'm gonna get excited for them.

Yea, I actually just came across that one. Its pretty good. But still, I'm looking for something more forward reaching. Possibly feature highlights of returning players/new era/2012 centric and beyond. Possibly leading up to the Wagon wheel or even MAC championship trophy so by the end whoever is watching all of a sudden sits there thinking "you know what? Maybe a MAC Championship isn't out of the realm of possibility...." That's the effect I'm looking for. Too much to ask for?
