New Record?!!

[Zip Watcher]

I believe that yesterday, only 29 days after starting the job, the first "Our new AD has an evil agenda and is gonna ruin everything" post was generated. Haven't had time to search for the first finger pointed at Mack, but I have to believe from memory that it took him a little bit more time to raise the ire of a ZipsNation member. Of course this was posted as someone's first post, and it's likely a relative of a recently departed employee .. but none the less, it was there.Congrats, Tom .. I guess. You're officially the AD at Akron when conspiracy theories fly with you at the middle.Go Zips!! B) B)

is that the official coronation from zipsnation?

I won't be wearing any hair shirts and saying any Hail Mary's because a ZipsNation member questions a decision of the AD. No major media outlet seems to have any interest in the truth. Or the interest to go beyond the surface. Here, you find the truth. And also opinions. Sometimes that truth, and those opinions will ruffle feathers. That's the result of a vigilant press.If this site turns into "www.GoZips.com/Lite," we've failed.Hopefully the guy is strong enough to withstand a critique of his decisions on an internet message board every once in a while. In three years, when he moves on to...say, as a recent example...Houston...the Houston Chronicle columnists and local radio stations will discuss and critique such decisions on a much larger scale. ESPN will chime in too.With the advent of InfoCision Stadium, the visibility of Zips football has been elevated. Where there once were 500 fans, now there are 18,000. Welcome to the "semi-big time," Tom.

Let's be honest, people were critical of Mack because he wasn't Mike Waddell. Those people were idiots. Unfortunately, a lot of them still post.People are being critical of the new guy because it appears as if his first big decision was a mistake.

If I'm driving along one day and see one of my fellow ZN forum members pulled over by the local police, is it OK when I get home to speculate here on ZN that it's possible that person may have been picked up on suspicion of murder?I mean, why waste time discussing the possibility of something as mundane as a routine traffic stop when you can really set a forum abuzz by speculating on the worst possible scenario?
