I think that was freshman RB Patrick (13) juking a defender in that short clip. Not sure how much action he actually sees this year, but I’m excited about him. Went back and watched it again. Look at Kellom (22) in the background during the mesh drill. He physically looks the part. And Wiley drilling that FG like it’s nothing. Great stuff on day 1.

I can't tell if the white pants are also striped but I'm going to guess that they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 (edited) QB1 posted some better shots of the new unis on Instagram. New stripes are consistent across both sets. Gold-white-blue-white-gold. Also upgraded to the latest Nike jersey template. The Zips are now using the same uniforms as the NFL and big CFB programs. Numbers have been updated to match the new Zips brand font. Similar to the numbers being used by all other sports. It's a small detail, but I really like the consistency. I really hope they keep gold pants in the rotation. They look really nice when paired with a gold helmet and navy jersey. Wonder what helmet options we'll see? Most likely white, but I'd love them to bring back matte navy.

Who was paying in cash at games in the first place? Well technically Credit/Debit or Checks are not a form of US currency, they are a third-party product to facilitate an exchange; there is no federal law dictating that fiat currency has to be accepted, just that you have to pay sales tax on the exchange. If the venue wanted to accept only haggling exchange for livestock they technically could. Though, there'd have to be a robust accounting for tax purposes as to the exchange of goods.

I know the Zips have struggled, but you'd hope that the hometown newspaper would assign someone (anyone) to cover camp, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Akron football Twitter and Instagram accounts actually do a pretty good job of posting a lot of pictures and videos but there is zero coverage in regards to what is actually happening. It would be nice to see a few interviews with some coaches or players. It’s unbelievable how little the ABJ does to cover this team. I’m not asking for a daily report but maybe one every few weeks?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing @Blue & Gold Here’s a summary: Adapting to Modern Players (00:00-01:30): Moorhead emphasizes the importance of adapting leadership and coaching styles to the modern-day player, as traditional methods are no longer effective.

Career Influences (02:46-04:00): Throughout various coaching positions, Moorhead has learned valuable lessons at each stop, with some of the most impactful experiences occurring at Penn State and Fordham. Penn State Turnaround (04:01-06:00): At Penn State, he helped instill confidence in an offense that previously struggled, particularly focusing on revitalizing the offensive line.

Fordham Experience (07:16-09:00): As a head coach at Fordham, Coach learned how to manage time effectively and handle multiple responsibilities, helping to quickly turn around a struggling program.

UA1996MAENG Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I can hardly believe it. The ABJ actually ran a story about UA football: https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2024/08/28/akron-zips-college-football-season-prevew-roster-coach-joe-moorhead/74922598007/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
