Akron????? The reaction here.....that you got BOTH Harding and Evans. The name "Bowden" does not exude credibility either. And, while Chuck "The Chest" is a LV native from Easton, we all know the stories from NC State. And, now, Tressel lands a made up position. (By the way...the only game Pryor lost in high school was to Wilson...LV school where Amato's brother is now AD). Your band should lead the team onto the field with music from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". Send a "Thank You" card to Rusty Amato c/o Nazareth High School, Nazareth, PA as well as Rosie Amato c/o Wilson Area High School, Easton, PA. For the first time in my life, many of us will actually be checking out the Akron Zips in the Fall. Akron?????? Schedule Lehigh.

Greetings from the Lehigh Valley.... we're just as surprised as you that Dan Harding is a Zip... some thoughts Nazareth is Class AAAA...went to the eastern state final in the PA playoffs... big school classification Nazareth plays in the Lehigh Valley conference...one of the three best in PA...send multiple players to BCS schools... example: Dan Persa QB at Northwestern and three guys at Pitt currently Harding was selected 1st Team Lehigh Valley Conference over Brandon Nosovitch (Allentown CC)...a Parade All American going to South Carolina Harding and his parents were set to go Ivy League...academics!!!... plus an all state teammate just set the all-time Ivy League rushing record while playing for Princeton. It didn't work out. They had turned down multiple FBS programs while awating admission to one of the Ivies. Since it was late... few good options remained. The athletic director at Nazareth HS is the nephew of Chuck Amato...your new associate coach...who is from the Lehigh Valley. Made a call.... you guys get an all everything QB. Bowden out of schollies...kid will "walk on"...academic scholarship. You also got Dylan Evans, RB-LB from Pen Argyl HS....All State Class AA. Pen Argyl is near Nazareth. Play in the Colonial League in the Lehigh Valley (mostly AA schools). Chuck Amato's brother is the AD at Wilson Boro HS, another Colonial League team. He made the call for Dylan Evans. So....you guys now have a Lehigh Valley connection.... as does Temple, Buffalo, Boston College, Missouri, Rutgers, Pitt, West Virginia, Michigan State, Army, etc. Also...Pete Lembo...is a Lehigh guy.
