bobbyake Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 So how soon will some of you be sending TW "great job" emails and letters? I know this board is anonymous (who cares who "Blue & Gold" is? No one.), but I definitely owe TW an appology for some of the things I've posted on ZNO over the last few days. This is an excellent hire and I'm excited about Zips football again. I really had lost faith. This feels GREAT! I'm not anonymous at all on here, and called for Tom Wistrcill's head a few days ago. Opps!! Quote
ziptrumpet87 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 This should perk up the recruiting a bit! Quote
RowdyZip Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Add me to the list of season ticket holders returning. This hire has restored a tiny bit of faith in our AD. I wasn't calling for his head, but I think this saves TW's job. Quote

g-mann17 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 I hope BWags reconsiders. You know, he just might . Quote
ZipRoo Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Think about the ELITE TRIO OF COACHES Akron now has: Football: TERRY BOWDEN Basketball: KEITH DAMBROT Soccer: CALEB PORTER Am I dreaming? I don't wanna wake up. There's not a stronger coaching lineup anywhere in the MAC, maybe not even in Ohio. Quote

KentZip Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 After a year of "sitting it out" I just got off the phone with the ticket office. Renewed my season tickets in section 208 along with a parking lot reservation in Lot 73. It is frickin' great to be back! Quote
g-mann17 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 ESPN picks up on it. That is so mangled. Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn LOL. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 ESPN picks up on it. That is so mangled. Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn LOL. They're as stunned as we are Quote
LZIp Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 ESPN picks up on it. SMH, ESPN "Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn as coach, source say" "Sources: Terry Auburn to coach Zips" Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 When is the social media announcement? I look at "our" announcements as sort of anti-social Quote
g-mann17 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 ESPN picks up on it. SMH, ESPN "Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn as coach, source say" "Sources: Terry Auburn to coach Zips" That's all related to that SEC spin they have to put on anything. So they have to mention an SEC team as much as possible even when the article has nothing to do with the SEC. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if people misunderstood and we actually did hire terry auburn! Quote
CoachGerry Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 I wonder if Gerry Faust's old connection with Bowden helped up pull this off ?? I share the sentiment that Bowden was one of the best available. Correct me if i'm wrong, didn't he spend some time with the Zips as an assistant? Anybody that experienced the Rubber Bowl trough's has instant street cred in my book!! WOOT Go Zips!!! Ku*k Fent!!! Spent one year (1986 I believe) as an assistant for Gerry. And you'd think CoachGerry would have more to say about that If you're looking for Akron connections, he was also at Auburn when Bill Muse was the President. Yeah, and Auburn and Akron both start with "A" so he doesnt need to buy a new hat. Quote
Kangaroo Craig Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 I absolutely love this hire. Just when I thought it couldn't get much worse for Akron football, they totally redeem themselves by bringing in Bowden. TB is arguably the best guy available not named Tressel. Go Zips! Quote

GoZips88 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Well, I guess TW can be excused for not attending the NC A&T b-ball game last night (... and I don't think he was at the YSU game Monday night either). VERY excited about the hire. Should help with recruiting and butts in seats immediately (instead of wait-and-see). Go Zips! Quote

Nice Dumb and Dumber reference (kind of an odd one considering the hire is NOT dumb... :-). Great hire!!! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 I wonder when he'll update his web site? Quote

Anybody that experienced the Rubber Bowl trough's has instant street cred in my book!! WOOT Go Zips!!! Ku*k Fent!!! Yes, that's why i've mentioned it. He was our QB coach under Faust back in about 1987 Who was our QB in 87? I was 10 forgive me for my lack of knowledge. Andy Kubik was the QB in 1987. Bowden was not the coach that year...Carr was. Andy started one year as a redshirt frosh then Faust brought in Mike Johnson and Andy was on scout team for the rest of his career at Akron. Jeff Sweitzer was the #2 QB and then started after Johnson graduated. Quote
