This is why I always ask everyone to stop freaking out about the roster posted online. It's a rolling thing, and who knows what the regs are it. But I can tell everyone from updating the roster in the recruiting forum, that it changes...wildly...throughout the year.

Soooo basically it's a calzone just in a cone shape? Seems really dumb...and looks like way too much bread, and not enough of the good stuff.

I always try to watch the Lady Zips whenever I can. Hopefully they'll be on ESPN3 more often, I know i see WBB during the season from time to time. The Zips feed has always been so bad I haven't even tried looking at it in years.

Up to date, added the transfer from WVU and the commit from Hoban.

Unless it's a sunday they won't sale you Wine until after noon. Which makes literally no sense.

Akron Zippers first appeared in 1923 (BF Goodrich product name) and then The kangaroo mascot first came in 1953. Making it's debut as "Mr. Zip". Mr. Zippy transformed into Zippy, and he became she. I actually like that Zippy is a girl, makes us like one of three schools with a female primary mascot.

Next week's episode of TruTV's Adam Ruins everything; will be exploring college. Here's a wonderful segment on College Rankings. I've loved this show for awhile now, mind you it's pretty good information told in a slapstick way. Youtube link because I can't figure out how to place here.

The Volleyball team and WSoc team was also in attendance.

haha yes it was an ongoing joke about what we would do. But honestly, if we were to publish an amateur fan-made publication I think we'd name it ZipsNation and forego a trademark. Who's going to rip us off, the ABJ? For what it's worth it costs $69 to get a word trademark, from my limited research.

For the record, there was a lot more than 12 people there...more like 24 I was pleasantly surprised for a Wednesday afternoon.

The "Akron" Beacon Journal is dead to me.

Could this end up being a death-penalty like situation for the Golden Flashes? $20-$30 million lawsuit...that's one year's athletic budget...

I've always liked Tra'von Chapman. I hope he has a really, really, really good season.

Sounds like a plan haha

I think the proper term is WSOC or Lady Zips...

They drafted 4 WR and 1 TE in last year's draft. They drafted another TE in this year's draft. Of the 4 they drafted last year, Jordan Payton played 4 games before becoming injured, Corey Coleman missed the first four games due to injury. Rishard Higgins and Ricardo Louis were the only two that played all year. This year the Browns Drafted Jabril Peppers (S/PR/KR). Is JoJo Natson a better prospect than any of those guys at either WR, PR or KR? Is Jerome Lane really a better prospect than any of those guys at WR? Lane looked okay against the 3rd string. I doubt it. I do wish the Browns would have taken a chance on one of them UDFA, but they did take a chance (and still have) Jamal Marcus, who most here assumed was the most NFL ready of those going into the draft last year.

Nice Catch! Fixed.

I dont' think anyone picked him up, so that means he's on the Browns IR if I'm not mistaken.

Totally agree. I used to write those for the Buchtelite, and I hated it. My Editor-in-chief expected them though, so I really couldn't say no. Totally agree! Ugh, all this talk about better writing has me fired up!

And it's kinda of uninteresting drivel. I think between all the active members on here we could probably put together some pretty decent reporting if we were really serious (and kinda already have courtesy of some very hardworking members): Coach Interviews (with decent questions), Camp Analysis/Speculation, Pre-season schedule breakdowns, player interviews, player interest pieces (tell the background stories about our players that we never know), and photos courtesy of Dr. Z. No game recount pieces because lets be real... we all probably watched the game.

Got mine today as well.

I have season tickets to everything. I've only gotten W. Volleyball and W. Soccer. Because all they do for those is print them off and put them in an envelope.

No way the tickets were in the mail on Thursday...I live in Akron, would have gotten them yesterday if that were true.

Thanks for all that info 72 Roo, you're totally a guy I'd love to meet sometime. Former Buchtelite Sports Editor to Former Buchtelite Sports Editor. Seems like we also dealt with similar "eh, you're just a student...what do you know!?" kind of stuff. I always, always, always harp on this on this forum...students on your campus are your best resource. Why not tap that for making future decisions that regard their alma-mater. It's very dumb.

To be fair though, isn't that par the course for buildings of that age?
