AKSportsFan Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 ...that is willing and able to make an Akron Zips Football Intro video. Surely we have all seen them for the Suckeyes but It would be awesome to put something together especially with all the excitement around the football program. Go ZIPS!!!

It looks like the Athletic Department had it produced. Have you seen this? Akron Football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSportsFan Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 It looks like the Athletic Department had it produced. Have you seen this? Akron Football Yea, I actually just came across that one. Its pretty good. But still, I'm looking for something more forward reaching. Possibly feature highlights of returning players/new era/2012 centric and beyond. Possibly leading up to the Wagon wheel or even MAC championship trophy so by the end whoever is watching all of a sudden sits there thinking "you know what? Maybe a MAC Championship isn't out of the realm of possibility...." That's the effect I'm looking for. Too much to ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 ...feature highlights of returning playersIn the last two years? No thanks. Move on. You can show me the Getsy to Hixon MCC pass. Make a video about winning when we win. I don't want reminded of the past two years. I think the first home game before kickoff the announcer should come on and say..."Attention Zip fans please direct your attention to the video board at this time", and then play this video. That should elicit a nice response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKSportsFan Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 So you are saying we aren't going to win with the 70 some players that are already on the team? Chisholm averaged close to 90 yards a game I'm not about to forget about him just yet. There are players on this team that will make a huge impact next year. Its not about remembering the past its definitely about moving forward but we have 3+clases of players that make up our current team. I'm gonna get excited for them.

While we might have some decent players on our team from past recruiting classes, they won't be the ones leading Akron into better times. Even though the athletic department is too proud for it to happen, I think the Men in Black video is perfect. Most fans would understand it and laugh.

The players already here will improve under the new staff and the incoming players will be made to feel welcome - and also foster some competition. Without competition at every position, players don't push themselves to play their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the players will improve, but in general, the players the Zips recruited the past couple years were from the bottom of the pile. Most of them will be relegated to depth options once Bowden pulls in a recruiting class or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 "or two"...... Gotta give him a little rope! History has taught us the MAC is a conference where a coach can come in and turn things around very quickly. Lots of coaches do well and even win the conference in their second season. We won the MAC in Brookhart's second season. Miami won it a couple of years ago with a very young team in a coaches second season. If a new coach gets good players in the right places in this league, a quick turnaround is very possible. I don't know about winning the MAC in year two, but there are lots of MAC bowl games now and with a name like Bowden, six wins will get us in one of them. I don't know what they call the bowl in Mobile now, but I'm sure he would be quite the draw and their committee would be more than happy to invite the Zips if we can get to six wins.

CincyZip Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 So I am assuming to the original question, it's a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
