LZIp Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I didn't realize they are playing Tennessee after us. They should be the real deal next season and the next few years. A lot of young talent. Hopefully we catch them overlooking us!Interesting that they see Pohl as our best offensive player when he may not even start. The sad part is, there is really nobody else to choose at this point.

zipsoutsider Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Sort of hoping they keep keying in Pohl and that Hundley turns in another performance like he did at Pitt. He looked good at the Spring game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1987 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 We need to figure out what will work as our slingshot. It can be done. Putting 'Zip Go The Zippers' on our helmets might be distracting again (Michigan game). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1987 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Oklahoma's Spring ranking was #19. Question at QB, and thin at LB. Their OL line is revamped, but looks to be outstanding. DL too. Stoops seems burnt out with this job. May be time for a change and Akron would like to help him out with a career move by catching the Sooners wondering ' what is a Zip?'. I know how everyone likes to talk about uniforms, so how about if, for the first half of this game, the Zips enter the stadium with John Heisman era throwback uniforms, including shoes with zippers and painted or decal wrapped helmets to look like replica leather with scaled down face masks. We could outplay OK while distracting them in these uni's and come out in the second half close in score dressed in modern equipment and take the game (jokes on them). Maybe the band could form an electric zipper instrument pep section (please - kidding). I'm sure there are other additions to this format that might be interesting (Cheer squad, Zippy etc...) all changed at half time in a surprise move to build up their confidence to a level where they cannot compete. Maybe fans could carpool to the game in throwback Model T's and have brown gravy guzzling and sauerkraut ball eating contests (Akron delicacies) prior to the game complete with t-shirts for the best projectile vomit or schart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I hate that OU logo.Ohhhhh, I'm sure you want them to go back to their primary logo of 1966. Well your just WRONG K92. The maroon covered wagon BLOWS! The current logo is the best one. You need to do some research (I mean clicking around aimlessly on the internet) on how successful the current logo is before you just come on here and start spouting off your opinion. It's a solid recognizable brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipgrad01 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I was just saying..people that aren't connected with Oklahoma couldn't tell if it was an OU or a paper clip. Terrible design. No titles can be associated with that disaster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I was going to ask if anyone knew what the "RINE UP!" meant until I realized that was a Z and not an N. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRulz Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/odds?group=2&type=0I'll take the Zips +31 points (come on, defense). For comparison, the Zips lost at UCF 38-7 to open the 2013 season. I think they keep this one closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'll wait to see which offense the Zips use before I commit. I have a feeling you won't know much before they take the field in Norman. If summer practices are closed to the public as they were in the spring, the best reporters, ZN.o posters, won't be able to get the story out. Good luck getting any information from local media.
