Zippy's State Of the Union Address

[ZippyNeedsyourvote]

Dear Zips Nation,First before I start let me thank each of you for your hard work on this campaign to date. It has been a true blessing seeing how far we have came and the unbelievable support we have received. We have all worked very hard to get to this point but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to seal the deal. Next I need to remind each of you why Zippy was picked to be Akron's mascot. The student government in 1953 felt a kangaroo would be a good fit for this fine university because it had speed power and an undying amount of determination. I want you all to remember that these next 2 weeks when this campaign isn't personally convent for you. We started on a mission 12 weeks ago to be the best mascot in the nation and we are two weeks away from achieving that goal. We did not come this far to lose now. We came to win this thing and you know what were going to do just that. I don't want to hear the excuse that we went 11-0 and made a name for our self's and that is a pretty good thing, Right? That may be a good policy some where else but not here in Akron. No one remembers the guy/ the team who came in second.. They only remember the champ. The only way we make a name for our self's is by winning and playing like a champion today. Do we all have 10 million problems and a billion deadlines to meet... yes but think how fun it will be knowing you were the reason The Akron Zips won the first National Championship of 2008. We have a lot to be proud of and I am so very thankfully for fans like you. It's Time Zips Nation to come together and start voting. Every vote counts & one vote could send us home. Please tell everyone and anyone you know to go to www.capitalonebowl.com and vote daily. It doesn't mean a thing till were wearing the ring,Zippy
