6' 8" German import Bruno Dahl was seen trying a few 50 yarders after practice. He's obviously played some soccer in his day. 😁

Bruno kicks some after practice for fun.  Unless there is a catastrophic in game injury situation where both kickers and castle go down he won't kick in a game.

I hope on his senior day the Zips are beating Kent 51-0 and coach Moorhead, fresh off signing a 10-year contract extension, let’s Bruno kick an XP.

That would be awesome!

And apparently received an offer. Now has offers from us and Eastern Michigan.

I hope that means the regular kickers have 50-yard range.

Thanks for the photos, @Captain Kangaroo.

No Surplus Sale at the spring game?!

 

They must have finally run  out of Matthew Wilson bobbleheads and Bowden Football Camp t-shirts.  It is a sad day.  😟

Guessing due to the re-brand? Not enough stuff piled up yet

Nike gear is far more scarce, they barely have enough inventory to give enough to every coach, athlete, etc. that needs it right now. Hopefully it comes back in a few years, steeply discounted brand new Nike gear would be a fantastic selling point to get people in the building.

I'm bummed to hear about the Surplus Sale not happening. I've found some really cool gear in past years at the event. 

 

I'm hoping that at some point, we'll be able to purchase more of a selection of items. I haven't been to the Team Shop in awhile but last time I wasn't impressed. Has it improved or does anyone know of a good place for gear?

 

I remember a time when you could buy baseball game hats, team jerseys, etc.

There really is no need to register.

How is one going to win the $1,000 cash drawing if they don't register?

Per the email-

 

As a result of very limited Athletics apparel & shoe inventory available within the department, there will be no “Surplus Sale” this year at the Spring Football game on Saturday, April 29th. With the transition to NIKE back in 2021, we anticipate very little surplus moving forward as we order just enough each year vs. overage.

True. I was just hoping to increase my odds of winning. 😉

We've never been to the stadium for a game.  We are arriving early to the spring game and wanted to set up a bit of a tailgate.  Is there a parking lot or area where people do this?

My recommendation- Set up in lot 9. Along exchange street.

Lot 9 is the best spot! It's the lot on the south side of the stadium, behind the scoreboard. Either there, or lot 10 next to the field house.
