wadszip Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Originally from Cleveland, but graduated from UA in 2003 (Mass Media Communication). I moved out of state a month after graduating, but have found myself coming back "home" to Akron (Wadsworth) in 2009. Converted my wife to a Zip as well. She's going to start classes at UA-Wayne later this year and hopefully transfers to main campus down the road. We're soon to be football season ticket holders since 2012, and trying to get some friends to join (thanks Terry Bowden). Would be basketball season ticket holders if not for too many conflicts in work schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Watcher Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Member 1 is probably Admin I think. Porky's Seven as I recall it now: Captain Dr. Z ZFF Zip Watcher Z-P Hilltopper Z-Pouch or zipboy???? I feel like maybe this is close .. but not sure. Met by Porky's at halftime during a DHip special one year to discuss the difficulties w/ Dreamwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Watcher Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I tweaked my original list to add ZFF .. which means that one of the other names on the list may be wrong? I am pretty certain that ZIPMAN was unable to catch the ferry in time to make it. Less than 1 month later, Zips hoops was saved. Coincidence?

Zipmeister Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 2004 B.S. in Accounting and my wife is a 2005 B.S. in Accounting. I worked myself through school, commuted, didn't have much free time and never went to a single bball, soccer or football game while I was attending here. After I graduated something just clicked and I really started following them. I guess I could be considered an ex-athlete (although I selected Alum). I was on the golf team at Wayne College the first year they had to have it because of Title 9 (they had Womens volleyball and basketball and only men's basketball at the time). I am an ex-athlete also. I participated in a coeducational bowling league for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am old. I graduated Buchtel the year John Heisman was coach...... I'm still waiting to see a good team But in all seriousness I know it's been said a million times but it's crazy how much campus has changed. I remember my four years at UA there was never a day that went by when construction crews weren't on campus. I now live in PA and get choked up every time I come back to campus. Great place and great memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place and great memories! Yep. I remember when I started, Carroll and Union Streets went straight through campus. Then they were shut down, for the most part. Then the new student union was built (my senior year, IIR). Then the new indoor practice field/rec center opened a month after I graduated. I remember house-partying on Nash (current day 50-yard-line of the Info) and hooking up with chicks in the dorms that are in that same area (don't remember the names of them ... or the chicks). Good times at the "old" UA of 10 years ago, and I imagine it's even better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
