It would be nice to get some more events because of having a dome. Hosting a Super Bowl would be a dream. I've heard people say that they f'ed it up by rushing and not putting a roof on it. I think I credit that to the normal Cleveland sports fan bitterness though (I am a Cleveland fan but like to think I'm different because I'm not technically from NEO). I don't think I've ever heard anyone say not putting a roof on Gillette, Lambeau, Lincoln Financial, Heinz, or Met Life was a mistake though.

Most of the tenants at those stadiums win and so fans still show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Nick Holley, the converted WR turned QB for KSU, is now listed as a RB. Hmm. Will we have a ZN.O media contingent at the local media day?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think holding it at the Hall of Fame is brilliant. Could there be a better back-drop to launch a football season than the NFL shrine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wanted to bump this. Are our beloved moderators going to be in appearance? If so, maybe Zipsnation could post some questions they would like answered and you could ask if able?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 That would be fantastic. He is already in Canton, right? Maybe this helps strengthen the media's recognition that great players do come from Akron/MAC. My question would be: 1) Are other media people there other than those that normally cover the MAC schools? 2) MIGHT other national media be there who might cover something like this if they are already doing HOF stories?

"I don't know if I would say important,'' coach Terry Bowden said of Ball in the backfield. "He is critical. If we can put the ball in his hands 30 times a game, it gives us a lot more time to get our answer to the quarterback question." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I will try to post some info from the Media Day later today. A couple quick notes: As previously mentioned by other ZN.o members, Jest and King are out for 2017. It is planned that they attend a JUCO, and return to Akron in January. They had a GPA that was ok per NCAA standards, but fell short of the requirement to play at Akron. King's academic shortcomings were a bit of a surprise, as "..he never had any problems with grades at Miami." Brian Bell is definitely with the Zips in 2017. If he's not on an official roster, I can't control it. The loss of Jest and King isn't really seen as a deal-breaker. Jest needed to get into football shape, and King never played a down for the Zips anyhow...so it is tough to consider him a "loss." Newcomers Brimmage and Sampson are expected to make early impacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
