johnnyzip84 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 There isn't much in details, but the Beacon does have a story on the opening of fall camp. It did mention that the secondary picked off Jacq and Rodgers FIVE times Can we hope it was just incredible DB play?I am very curious to hear anything about Bowser, if anyone happens to hear. He is another key to the offense this year, IMHO.Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should know much more about how we stand in a week or so.I hope they release a depth chart soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie 4 Heisman Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Bowser tweaked his knee on the first route of the day. He could have continued practice, and wanted to, but the coaches dont want to risk anything since he is a special player. He will be fine.Five picks did happen and one thing this bored has to realize is, Not every pick is a QB's fault. And it is the first day of camp. So calm down. People on this board go nuts about every little thing. Give it time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that I want OSU to be terrible because I'm sick of them and all their front running fans. But I'm sure you can't wrap your suckeye brain around that.Florida was a top 10-15 team almost all of last year. They play in the SEC as well. They hardly sucked even compared to normal. They were also coming off a national title year. Also, OSU fans never thought Michigan sucked. They just didn't think they were as good as OSU and they were upset that Michigan (who hasn't beaten OSU in 4 or 5 years) was talking smack about them all year.I just think it is pretty sad that you have to want a team to stink because you are upset that others like them. This is how you deal with people not rooting for Akron. You are the type that is jealous of others successes, so you root for them to fail in order to make yourself and your cause feel better.Also, no need to throw out the "suckeye brain" comment. I have been an OSU fan since I was old enough to start watching football. Why? Because my ENTIRE FAMILY are OSU fans and that is what I grew up watching. Plus, I have a cousin that played football at OSU. However, I decided to go to UA and not OSU. I am an Akron season ticket holder. I watch every game that I possibly can and yes I was in Columbus last year rooting for Akron! I know you can't comprehend it, but it is very easy being a fan of both and I always will be even when people like you try to make me feel like lessor of a fan for doing so.

If OSU isn't even going to try and bring their "A" game, they shouldn't even bother trying. They do this with almost every MAC team they play.

Plus just like that jerk-off Tebow proved, you can win the Heisman on a sucky team.I've got mixed feelings on Beanie winning the Heisman. It would truly be bitter sweet. I'd love to see someone from Garfield, or any Akron or Summit County school win the Heisman, but I'd loathe seeing a Columbus State player do it. Tyrell Sutton for Heisman?! Bryan Williams for Heisman?! If Beanie could rush for 5,000 yards this year & win the Heisman but OSU go 0-12, THAT would be my dream scenario. And btw - Tim Tebow is one of the most excellent people one could ever hope to meet. He could have a different Gator slut every night, but he is one totally straight-and-narrow dude. Never says anything negative about his fellow players or coaches, is always positive, never foul-mouthed, the consumate team leader and after he plays in the NFL he wants to be a missionary to the Philippines and also open a shelter in New Orleans. I've never seen someone so young and talented be so mature and humble. I wish he was a Zip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can't comprehend it, but it is very easy being a fan of both and I always will be even when people like you try to make me feel like lessor of a fan for doing so.I can comprehend it. I was an OSU fan until they won the National Championship. I was an OSU fan through all the Cooper years. The reason I am not a fan now, is because of all the front runners plain and simple. So yes I want to see OSU fail. Not out of jealousy. (Do you really think any of us grew up a Zips fan? No we are all indoctrinated with who our families root for.) No, I want to see them fail so I don't have to see them in my home town paper everyday, so I don't have to see a bunch of pop colored douchebags running around with OSU gear they picked up even though they are attending OU, Miami, Can't, and yes Akron. I don't like people who are fans of winners because they are winners. Like the Indians fans of the late 90's who never even stepped foot into Muni. The only issue I have with you, is the fact that you come on here talking OSU. It's a Zip board. Unless we are playing, or we get a transfer OSU should not be mentioned on this board. They have nothing to do with us. And everyone on here that absolutely hates them (for what ever reason they have) has a right to hate them, whether it's jealousy, because they weren't accepted, or because they are shoved down our throats day in and day out and called great, when they (and any BCS school for that matter) only play, at most, a total of 5 really good schools the entire year.

Beanie 4 Heisman Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Let's get a few things straight. I am friends with Beanie hence the name. Two, I am a huge zips fan. Three, I happen to know a lot about the Zips football team than mostly everyone on this board does and I like to keep you guys, the other die hard zips fans, on this board better informed. Bowser is going to be out for a couple weeks had knee scope and will be back before the Wisconsin game. I would love to see B. Will win the Heisman!!!! He is my boy!This is a great team we have this year and could be capable of something special. But hey the people who make the pre-season polls dont have to know this. We are deep and talented. Beat the Badgers. And for good measure Happy Birthday Beanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come on here EVERY day simply to read what is going on with the Zips program. I also never talk about Ohio State unless someone makes a stupid comment. I just can't help myself when it comes to that. I have to say something. It doesn't make me a "shill for their program", etc...I guess I will never understand why you want them to fail and frankly I don't care. I hear what you are saying, but if you think them losing will change things you are just wrong. Did people stop rooting for the Browns all these years that they have stunk? Nope. You have to realize that OSU will never stink the way you want them to because the state of Ohio produces too many great football players. They have the best facilities, a great tradition and an ENORMOUS alumni base. They are the largest university in the state and they always will be. That is just the way it is. If you don't like them fine. However, WE have to respect their success and use them as a benchmark in trying to build our program. Telling the whole world that they suck and they are brainwashed idiots for rooting for them just makes you sound childish and not very well informed.Just like you, I have a right to speak about whatever I want on this board (yes even OSU) as long as I am not being vulgar, etc... I really don't care what anyone thinks of me or my comments. I just don't understand the logic of some of the posters in here, so I make comments.Hypothetical......what if all of the sudden Akron won 10 games every year, played in a few BCS bowls and moved to the Big East? They added another 15,000 seats to the new stadium and we sold out every game. All of the sudden "douchebags" started popping out of the woodwork wearing Zips gear. The Zips were on the front page every day and led all the newscasts. They started pulling in top 100 players every year and getting 10+ guys drafted every year. What would you say then? Like it or not people tend to cheer for what they feel is their "home team" that represents them. You can call them front runners, you can call them douchebags, whatever. The fact is....for over half a century OSU has been the only successful (and for the most part only) major college football team in the state. It is 100% normal for 75% of the population to root for them. Just look at LSU, etc...They have quite a few D-1 teams, but 75% of that state are LSU fans for the same exact reasons.

Look at all Akron's past schedules, current schedule and future schedules, that is the enemy list if you are a Zips fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
