Somewhat surprised Marcus wasn't chosen since he is the only preseason 1st team All-MAC player we have, but no complaints from me - especially since those two guys have been here their whole careers.

Section210Zip Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Here is the media release with a link to the virtual media guide. I love how they are putting this together. GoZips.com media release If you want to watch media day "The event will be broadcast live on ESPN3 with the Zips' interviews to air at 1:07 p.m. ET." On a side note with this, Terry will be interviewed on SiriusXM College Sports Nation Ch 84 on Thursday as well. 1 Quote

I really enjoyed that article. I found it the perfect pre-media day preview. It talked about some of the issues surrounding the team and used quotes from the coach and general roster information to talk about how Bowden is planning to address them. Keep these type of stories up! 1 Quote
LZIp Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 Zips picked to finish 3rd in the East. BG predicted to win (I don't see that happening this season). Unsurprisingly, WMU picked to win it all. Quote

ZZZips Posted August 4, 2016 Report Posted August 4, 2016 " I'm pretty sure that Akron's is fully digital." If this is what you call fully digital in today's world, then their is no need for an Apple watch because I had a Timex digital watch in 1981. Please help me find the "search" function on our fully digital media guides. Quote

Section210Zip Posted August 4, 2016 Report Posted August 4, 2016 I haven't had time to post here about media day. The thing that caught me in a few of Terry's interviews was when he was asked about the losses we had at o-line. He said "the guys here are very athletic and we have depth. This year's line will be better than last years." Yesterday he was asked about being voted to finish 3rd in the east. He responded by saying in order to be ahead of BG and Ohio than we need to beat BG and Ohio. He went on to say it was never a dream to be voted pre-season coach of the year. You want to be coach of the year when the season is done. 1 Quote

kreed5120 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Perhaps I should have posted this in the basketball forum, but since this thread exists I'll leave it here. CBS Sports will be carrying 12 football and 12 basketball regular season games and they will air the MAC basketball Men's semi-final and Woman's finals. This will be the 1st time either is broadcasted nationally. http://www.mac-sports.com/news/2016/7/29/BB_0729164926.aspx Edited August 9, 2016 by kreed5120 Quote
