Awesome read! Thanks for posting.
I have to admit I've been the one to inquire whether CP's college to pro transition might resemble John Calipari's somewhat, given the boatload of talent both coaches have assembled in college. But this notion has been utterly refuted by the play of Timbers this season! CP, you are the man!
DZ84 picked up a few of these the other day:
I'm not sure if this is a hint of desired vacation destinations, but I'm sure Z.I.P. would approve!
It's a pretty tasty, pale ale. I give it a 4.5 out of 5. Nutty, dry, mildly hoppy.
That makes sense. He must be a relatively smart kid to be able to graduate a semester early.
I thought about the Zeke analogy myself and I think it's a pretty good one. I think it's hard for alumni who grew up close to Akron to believe that others might actually have a pretty good impression of UA, either academically or athletically.
I believe I saw in an article (can't find it now for some reason) where he is expected to sign "early" in November. I didn't even know a high school recruit could do that.
Kickoff times announced
I like the 6:00 pm starts for JMU and Lousiana., but buried at the bottom of the story is UA's annual attempt to screw loyal Lot 9 tailgaters. Honestly, what is the deal with the athletic department on this issue?
So it looks like a $50 increase for some of us to tailgate in Lot 9 this year, although it's hard to draw any conclusions since the written policy and how it eventually plays out never seem to mesh from year to year. It also looks like non Z-Fund donors are getting the boot. We shall see.
That's encouraging. IF (and it's a pretty big if at this point) MTB or Wolf becomes the Blackman/Crabtree of the Zip offense, 2013 could be a huge turnaround year. This development, if it occurs, changes everything.
I believe you mean John Pont, grandson of former Miami/Yale/Indiana/Northwestern HC John (also) Pont, who also happens to be TB's son-in-law. But I am also optimistic that D'Orazio will lead the team in receptions. I also think TB is looking to Wolf or Traylor-Bennett to make noise as a gamebreaker straight out of the box.
I agree Dr Z. In fact, not only were the coaches completely accessible, they were so well prepared that they answered most of my questions without me having to ask. I liked the idea of allowing TB to take the 1st putt for each group on a designated hole. Nice touch!
My league prematurely called off last night's round, and it ended up being great conditions for those of us who played anyway. So I'm not worried about the forecast yet.
Here is another promo for the event. Matt Kaulig deserves a lot of credit for his support.
While it's nice in a way to even be included in a list of top 100 teams, this article was poorly researched and not very well written either. Malachi Williams and Dylan Brown? Sheeesh.
First of all, congrats and I hope all goes well!
Secondly, I had forgotten about how hot it was indoors in Syracuse that year. The Carrier Dome being so uncomfortable was pretty ironic.
Andy Hildreth?
Oh, I'm not ready to concede any road games (except Ann Arbor) at this point. I'm still hoping for UMass to be one of SEVERAL road wins. But if things don't go as planned, hopefully the Zips will still manage to win this one.
I believe it was Hustle Belt that had them with the 2nd most difficult schedule among MAC teams (behind none other than our Zips), so perhaps there's some hope that they'll revert to their usual selves.
Getting back to where the road losing streak might end, I wouldn't count out this place:
