ZachTheZip Posted August 11, 2012 Report Posted August 11, 2012 At the bottom of the GoZips.com article about the scrimmage today it was mentioned that the football team is holding a "meet the team" event Sunday at 2:00 in the field house. However, I've seen conflicting reports (from @AkronZipsFB_RC ) that it's actually supposed to take place in the morning. Anybody know what's up? http://gozips.com/sports/fball/2012-13/rel.../20120811eu65ds Quote

ZachTheZip Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, 2:00 means I'll have to miss it. Hopefully there's a decent turnout, though. never hurts to let the fans build a little bit of investment in the team by meeting the players and coaches. Quote

It will be interesting to see how many people attend. I think it's really great for the players. Quote
K92 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Posted August 12, 2012 I missed the festivities, but there are some good pictures from the event showing up on facebook. Wish I could have been there. Anybody able to make it? Quote
Aaron Posted August 13, 2012 Report Posted August 13, 2012 I was there with a few of my kids, but it unfortunately ended right around 3, not 3:30. We showed up around 2:40 or so and met the offense side of the team before they wrapped it up. Seemed like mostly player's families there, and having it in the field house instead of the stadium changed the feel of the event from past years. Quote
K92 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Posted August 13, 2012 Some Photos Found Here Big 'ol table full o' swag & I missed it! I guess the Bowden Backer sticker they sent with my tickets will have to suffice. Quote
akzipper Posted August 13, 2012 Report Posted August 13, 2012 Darn it, still wearing those jerseys from the JD era. It's time to burn those in a giant bonfire just like we did with Lebron's! Quote
