Alot to bethankfull for This Holiday Season

[Fear this America]

Ok I know this has been a wild and crazy week for all of us but I am asking a favor from all of you. Iam not just talking the AK-ROWDIES, or the Athletics department Iam talking about everyone and any one who is an AKRON SPORTS FAN. Too often in life we get so very upset at the little things that we take everything we do have for granted. We get to caught up in what we don’t have, rather than what we do have. You know what we have a lot to be thankful about this holiday season. Here are some of those things that I think are amazing in terms of being grateful.1. Zips Basketball we have two teams who rock our socks they are fun to watch. We have seen these teams grow from nothing to something we cannot get enough of. Sure every one hasn’t gotten the memo that these teams are class acts and they are truly missing out. But with a little hope they will find the magic at the jar before it is to late. You have a women's team who has a winning record for the first time in how long. And a coach who has a heart of gold. Iam glad we found her, she is a great fit hear at Akron. As for the men they are showing no fear and let's just say I have a good feeling about Friday. 2. We have one of the longest winning streaks in the nation. That's right friends not every school can say that. Yes that's right hear in AKRON Ohio.3. The Jar is becoming a feared place to play at because the fan's are getting in to the game. I think it is kind of funny people don't want to come to Akron to play against us.4. Each game we are getting stronger and stronger sure it may be taking awhile for every one to get on board but each game we have improved. If we keep going at this pace we will be selling out games by the end of January. I would much rather improve game by game and find out what works step by step rather then have it all at once and never get any better. You got to walk before you can jump, small baby steeps will mean huge impacts latter on in the season.5.We are able to come together and make some kid's Christmas so much brighter because of the bear toss at half time. The goal was 250 bears thanks to you and your efforts there was well over 300 I think the total was in the range of 325 bears. Before today there was 300 sum kids who would of got nothing for Christmas. But you took the time and your hard earned money and made this Christmas a lot brighter for a lot of people. I must say I am very proud of this one. We came together as a giant group for the good of mankind.6. We have a cheer team who is ranked it the top twenty in the nation and a dance team who leaves us wanting more and more. We have found a way to cheer for all of these groups this year. That is a huge step from last year because we were to busy in life to take notice.7. We get to come together for a goal of beating other teams and seeing family and friends at the JAR at least two times a week. How many people are out there only get to see their loved one's maybe once a year. I think we should be blessed about that.8. Sure every thing isn't going to go right all the time but we have people who want to make things right no matter what. Take Mack for example he got a lot of respect from me tonight. What was sitting there waiting for each of the AK-ROWDIES... Yea free pizza and for that I owe you a huge thank you. That was huge and there was student promos that got the crowd more involved. So yes things may not always be right but we have a staff that works hard for every one it's not always going to be 100 percent right but iam willing to take 85 maybe 90 percent that's still passing and passing with class if you ask me. Sure we are not always going to see eye to eye on everything but at least we have someone to push us harder to make us better. So many people in this world desire that and can have find those special people. We are lucky enough to have people like that here in Akron. 9. We have fun at all cost at the end of the day we all come to a game and act silly and crazy but it brings a smile to our face and heart. A smile is worth more to me then a million bucks. So many people are caught up on their self’s that they don’t take the time to let others help them out. The friendships we have all developed because of this is out of this world and I am so blessed to get to know all of you. For me all of you have touched me in a way I will never forget.10. You had to see this one coming We have a great school with great sports teams. I am so thankfully that we don't go to can't state because i would rather be a Zip than a flush any day of the week.So friends I am asking you to stop the call outs and set down the pitch forks. Lets grow together and be blessed that we have the things that we do have rather than the things we don't. We need to work together to be come the strongest school in the nation. I truly think that if we stay positive and suggest things rather then demand things we will reach that goal. Like I said before we all sin we all make mistakes but we need to work together for the good of all of us.

There's probably 110 million spelling mistakes in this form just goes to show you no one is perfect. With a few trys well come together to get it right.Enough talk let's get ready for Friday!! See You all at the Jar !!!! Go Zips
