zff Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I sent en email to Keith Kennedy at WKDD asking for a audio like to the game Saturday night.He replied with the link this morning.Enjoy French and Stams Quote
GP1 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 One of the things I always liked about listening to French is his wearing his emotions on his sleeve. When things don't look good, you can tell by the tone in his voice. You can hear that tone at the beginning of this call when things don't look good for the Zips and then the change is great. Quote
skip-zip Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I've always loved listening to French. I even sometimes turn off the tv sound, and listen to him, when games are on tv.I'd love to see someone put this audio together with the video from the game, and distribute it to all of the national sports outlets. I bet this would get a lot of play. Quote
Ryno aka Menace Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I am sooo sick I couldn't see this game!! It sounded incredible, but there is nothing like being there! Quote
flipthezip Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I heard it live Saturday night and have replayed it a dozen times today and it still is as exciting. I'm already pumped up for Saturday night. It is hard to believe that some of the powers to be running the AD's office back in the mid 90's wanted to run French for just that type of call. I love having a "fan" calling the game.Keep it up Steve! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I am sooo sick I couldn't see this game!! It sounded incredible, but there is nothing like being there!I'm eternally jealous of any Zips fan who attended that game!! Quote
timsum1283 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 i got chills listening to that audio (in a good way)they were the same type of chills i got when watching the end of the Boise State-Oklahoma game Quote
ziplock Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 French announced on WNIR that the video of the play is going to be shown on ESPN's Football rap-up at 2 PM this afternoon.I can't get home now to DVR it.Here's hoping someone will "youutube" it soon.Go Zips!! Quote

What channel is it on??? ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU? Quote
GoZips88 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I e-mailed Mack Rhoades this morning and suggested he play that call on the PA system at the Rubber Bowl just prior to the PA announcer saying "All right, Zip fans, UP ON YOUR FEET! HERE are YYYOURRRR AKRON ZIPS!!!" Too bad we don't have a video screen at The Dump ... er ... the Rubber Bowl. I sure hope someone is able to get the video out on YouTube. Nobody at home to record it on the DVR for me. I wonder if the video can be married with Steve and Frank's call if that already hasn't already been done (wouldn't mind hearing how the Western guys called it too!).Thanks for contacting 1350AM and for the link!

Just watched the playon ESPN2. They had French's call for the video. Quote
zff Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Posted October 8, 2007 I have been told it will be on gozips.com in the near future.Trust me when I say the Athletic Department has been hard at work to bring this all together. Quote
GoZips88 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 My son and I left Indianapolis just after the start of the game and listened to it and the post-game show on the 5-hour drive home. I called my wife on my mobile phone, she pulled up the audio on the computer, cranked up the speakers, placed the phone right up against one of the speakers, and my son and I enjoyed the game via mobile phone speakerphone. I about drove off of the road on I-71 just north of Columbus as my son and I high-fived each other and yelled and screamed right along with French and Stams. Right up there with the final play in Detroit a couple of years ago ... we were in Detroit and WISH we had been in Kalamazoo.Can't wait to see the video on gozips.com. Quote
MDZip Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 ESPN2 is going to replay that "College Football Live" segment again at 6:30 tonight. The play is about 15 minutes from the end of the one hour show. Quote

My friend, who was visiting Las Vegas, laid down some cash on the Zippers (got ten points, ha ha), left a message on my cell phone that the score was 39-38...BUT HE DIDN'T TELL ME WHO WON.I was dying!On the way back the next morning, I called my oldest son at home and had him read the article into the phone. The Zips win Saturday and the Indians win Friday made for an enjoyable weekend.What a weekend! Quote

I felt for ya! See you Saturday afternoon! Quote
zip81 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 That recording is great.They start out with absolutely no hope in their voices as the play begins, then it builds to an unbelievable crescendo with absolute joy in their delivery.Mr. Stams, however, has got to learn not to step on his play-by-play man though.The color guy on the Bengals network does that all the time.

What a great byte!! Go Zips!! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I'm sitting here, watching ESPN2 and waiting for the playing of the game winning return, so I figured I'd listen to the audio 1st. Outstanding!!! As someone said, Frenchie always wears his emotions on his sleeve, and this play allows him to run the gamut! I can't wait to see it in a minute. Go Zips!!! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Wow, that "lateral" looked more like a no-look, chuck-it-behind-me, desperation toss, but that only made it more of an amazing play. Loved it! Quote
