johnnyzip84 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yeah, we wouldn't want any MAC West rivals turning us in! Just teasing a little Rocket Man BTW, could you provide the link to the UT fan site? While we're at it, is there a common MAC site that would have links to ZipsNation.Org and other school's respective sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're at it, is there a common MAC site that would have links to ZipsNation.Org and other school's respective sites? Try HERE for messageboards for all schools in the MAC. If you want a unified website, I suggest the MACbbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketfootball Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 That MACbbs is definitely the best sport for message boards for the MAC. UT and NIU have pretty busy individual message board there too.UT fan site.........there's a few:toledorockets.comtoledorocketfans.comletsgorockets.com (blog)www.toledorockets.netThe last one, ToledoRockets.Net, is actually the site I own and run. It has it's own message boards (one of four different sites that has active UT message boards) that has a lot of good recruiting information on it. I have full media credentials with UT and myself and my photographer our both members of the MAC News Media Association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zff Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The Kid from valley forge is his name Brian Williams. (He is a akron high school product)I checked out these guys. They all look like solid pickups.Thanks for the info Hugo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozips19 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 rivals is showing williams as a temple solid verbal as of 12/9. my one concern with this class though is LB. Akron is very thing with not a lot of size. Akron will be fine if Smith enrolls and they pick up another quality player like an Arron Williams. Other than that you couldn't ask for a better class so far! Moorhead needs a raise for all the work he's done in wpa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks Hugo!!!* Moderator - edited*I'm not compliance director, but there is a concern regarding fans and alumni contacting recruits in any fashion. Just to be safe, please do not post questions to any known recruits on this site. Note: Please don't take this the wrong way...this isn't a "scolding"...I'm just being safe here. I'm glad Hugo checked in. Hope he likes us Zips fans. We're pretty decent folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo1306 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 They told me they were building a on campus and that it would be by my junior year and they said they are going to have it open early so it could be ready for my soph or junior year. But what most got my attention and made me cancel my other visits was i saw a chance to play early and I saw the AD and President behind the football program, Also I think we our going to be like a Utah and go undefeated and play in BCS bowls. Thats what me and Coach Flemming and Brokhart talked all bout. Well cant wait to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentZip Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 From an article on All State nominations:"Wayne Jones, Bishop McCort, Sr., 6-2, 325. Two-year starter. Made 62 solo stops and 72 tackles overall on defense that did not allow a 100-yard individual rusher in 14 games dating to last season. McCort allowed opponents 670 yards rushing through 11 games."
