Dr Z Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Quarterback Clayton Moore is a marketing campaign waiting to happen at the University of Akron. He certainly has the name for it. Time will tell if he has the game for it. Older fans or television devotees might have already figured this one out. Moore, 20, a sophomore transfer from Louisville, Miss., shares the same first and last name as the actor who played the lead role in The Lone Ranger, a hit TV show that ran from 1949 through 1957. Moore, the quarterback, initially heard the connection in high school and didn't understand it. ''Someone in the paper called me 'The Lone Ranger,' and it was the first time I had ever heard it. I had to ask my parents what it meant,'' Moore said. ''I wasn't named for him. I was named after my father, John Clayton Moore.'' If Moore should prosper as a Zips quarterback now or in the future, the promotional possibilities are endless. It would be easy to imagine Moore wearing a mask, riding a white stallion and saying, ''Hi-ho, Zippy. Away.'' Moore certainly has grown accustomed to the references. ''I think it is kind of cool that people call me that,'' he said. ''It doesn't bother me at all. It's kind of catchy.''......click here to continue reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 One of the offensive lineman is taking the same class as my daughter this semester. He told her today that the Lone ranger is pretty good and he hopes he is the starting QB this fall. He is meshing well with the other O-lineman and seems to be the better QB.

Who...Adam Bice? What do we have now, like 6 offensive linemen? IF this guy plays as good as he did last year, there is a good chance he will put the Zips on the map. The media LOVES a connection like his name. You can see the headlines: "Lone Ranger rides in on white horse to save the day" "Lone Ranger throws silver bullets" "Lone Ranger to Tonto for a touchdown". And we might even win a few games.
