When it got new turf and a facelift plus new benches it was an impressive place. The Zips had enough good games there whereby you were always hoping they could do it again. My memories are also impacted because my dad and I would go to most of the games. He loved to see the Zips play and enjoyed every minute there. I miss him, the bowl and good Zip football. 6 Quote

72 Roo Posted September 18, 2020 Report Posted September 18, 2020 ZM, what makes you think I don't have one or two of them already in the house. My wife and girls hate 'em, but as I said, I loved the bowl. ? Quote

Don't forget to install them so everyone (usually teenage girls) can see it whenever the door is open. It was always fun seeing first timers realize that... Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 Nice compiling. I think Mark Price needs to stick to basketball. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 That's a different Mark Price and I think that timeline was in conjunction with a 2014 article he wrote about the Acme Zip game, a year before the Potato Bowl. Mark writes a weekly Akron history article for the Beacon, one of the few things worth reading in the Beacon. 1 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Not sure why, but I just had a flashback to playing NCAA Football 2005. They had this Mascot mode where you're entire team was the respective school's mascot. I always had a team full of Zippy's vs whomever - Brutus, whatever the hell they named the bird with teeth to the east, etc. - in the Rubber Bowl. That 2005 Snow Bowl vs KSUcks was my favorite Rubber Bowl memory. Little did we know 2 years after that game came out, Zippy would literally beat all the mascots nationwide to win the 2007 Capital One Mascot Challenge.

Spin Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 Man I miss those games. I'd rename all the players to current Zips. They had NCAA basketball too. I aint gonna lie, I was a pretty good coach on those. Quote
