RowdyZip Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 The best I could do from the Rowdies section with my cell phone...it's good to have the wheel back home where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 You know, that is one thing I forgot to mention earlier.The last guy left out on the field, thanking the fans. Carlton Jackson. I like that. I always here about how he can be a little cold and not a great leader, but I didn't really see that. You can tell he is doing his best to make this his team.

PAZipsFan Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Kudos to C.J. for that. A player that actually realizes how much of their souls the fans put into following this team and acknowledging it. That's really refreshing to hear.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 You know before the game during warmups, we (the rowdies) were shouting Let's Go Zips and CJ looked at us and was doing the pump up the volume wave with his arms he was pumped partly because of us and partly because of the Can't motivation. He is a great guy and I like what we're building with the pride for Akron. Lots of the basketball team was there which is always a good sign.

bobbyake Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 The best part of the game was when the team came over to the student section after they won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRulz Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was just thinking there ought to be a secure window/showcase near the entrance to the new stadium for the wagon wheel. Where do we display it currently, in the JAR or student union? It should be somewhere that the students would see it regularly (and its glaring absence in those rare cases when we let Can't borrow it) to build spirit/rivalry. MACC trophies as well. Maybe there's already a plan for a trophy case in the stadium but I don't recall hearing of one...anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the wheel is here, it could be lit with floods. When it is gone, the case could go dark, as a ominous and somber motivation to set things right.

There are hundreds of recruits who pass through those offices within the year between K.e.n.t. games (many on facility tours held during camps @ Stiles). Many of those kids are considering MAC schools...often UA and K.e.n.t. It is a nice first Zips impression when they walk into the room.Furthermore, the coaches and players actually won the thing*...and they should be able to enjoy it on a daily basis. It is also a good off-season incentive...you don't want to be responsible for a bare office wall come October 5th 2008.* Yes, it could also be argued that bumbling, hapless choke-riddled K.e.n.t. "gave" it to us in 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Good points but I still wish it could be more visible to the student body and public to put Zip football in their minds. The recruits could still see it in the student union on their campus tours as could the players (assuming they are going to classes and spending time on campus). The coaches should be plenty motivated by their paycheck$ and future job prospect$. As a compromise it could share time at different locations and even make appearances at area malls, bars, restaurants, etc. On game days it should be somewhere near a stadium entrance or the team shop.

Zipsrifle Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 How 'bout this. Why don't we make a replica of it and put that on display in the new stadium???? Hell, I know lots of yards here in NE ohio where I can steal an old wagon wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
