zipsbandman Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Did anybody check out the PD today? There is a nice article on #5 and mac preseason predictions. Also, on an unrelated note, I was very impressed from what I saw from JD Brookhart. He made it a point to come speak to our band, and after one of the practices in the fieldhouse, the team came over and sang the fight song us. One coach coming to mind who does things like this is Jim Tressel, and we all know what kind of a coach he is. There is definitely a new feeling on this campus, and there is definitely a new attitude on this football team. See you all in Happy Valley! http://www.cleveland.com/ohiocollegesports...41851249620.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Z.I.P. Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 ??????????? (smiley guy question mark -- why won't you work?) "...the team came over and sang the fight song us" [sic, but what the...] SANG the fight song? You mean it has WORDS?? That's the first time I've heard that. What are they??

Zipsrifle Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 This was a good article I dug up while surfing the PSU board. You must read it all the way through. I got to tell you, JD is REALLY impressive so far. I have a feeling I'll feel even better on Sunday! Go Zips!!

zipboy Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Elton Alexander picks the Zips for 3rd, Can't State beat writer for the Urinal picks Zips for 5th behind Can't and FUC. At least Elton has not stooped that low yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Elton Alexander picks the Zips for 3rd, Can't State beat writer for the Urinal picks Zips for 5th behind Can't and FUC. At least Elton has not stooped that low yet. Ellen's column on Frye was the first he's written (ghost-written or otherwise) where he didn't backhandedly or blatently rip on the Zips because of his biased personal feelings. Let's hope he's moved on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hey thanks Panther! I'm trying to fit those words in with the melody that I've never forgotten. It goes OK till the last stanza. Oh well... Too bad this isn't placed anywhere on GoZips.com. I don't think it is. Least, I can't remember ever seeing it. (Hint, hint.) I'll be at the watering hole Saturday, 9 a.m. to get a seat and a TV. I'm sure I'll be the only one interested, unless some nutty lion wanders in. GO ZIPS!!!

Guest Guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Acutally, I think it is on gozips.com. At least I read it somewhere not too long ago. Yup, here it is. Akron Traditions Now, what I can't figure out is how the one part goes. Is it: Eat 'em up, Beat 'em up, Go Zips Go! or something different. You can never tell. I don't even think they put it on the screen at the Rubber bowl. My wife and I differ on what we think it is. Since nobody knows anyway, and you can't tell what it is, we just say what we want.
