Pre Game Emotions

[Z-P]

The board hasn’t been overly mushy this week, and that’s perfect IMHO.

Now I can sneak this in because the players are in their pre-game regimen and don’t have access to ZipNation……….

First of all, GOOD LUCK & A “GIT –R-DONE!†to the team today. (Hey it worked last week didn’t it? )

Regardless of whether we post a W or an L today, guarantee one thing…there’s going to be one hell of a party tonite in Akron after this game. Hangovers and late git-ups will be the order of the day Sunday. MACC is 2 weeks off so “let er hang out tonite guys!â€.

Here’s to the seniors! Hey, I would have liked a little better O-line play, and better D, but what the heck, I know you cats always did the very best you could for your Uni and your mates!

The “Lord of the Boardâ€â€¦this Bud’s for Cap’n K. Even though his X-rated muppets are getting a little stale, he’s still THE MAN around here………..keep er goin Cap!

This Z-P Bud’s for all my fellow BSr’s ( Board Slugz , BS git it?) We’re not many in number but we’re sure as hell passionate. Really looooooooved seeing Wadscarman come in with a good solid suggestion for a banner. He knows where he can come if he needs the jack to get it produced, so just ask…then do it! If UA’s going to be big league, it needs big league passionate fans. Big League passionate fans need a place to go to vent, meaning the Z/Nation.org should be part of the package...maybe they’ve decided “we aint so badâ€. BSr’s are small in number right now, but I’ll bet in 18-24 months we will explode in activity with Coach Dambrodt’s efforts and Coach B’s work… Hell, they’ll probably even forget that little JAR origination meeting ZW pulled together and took a collection at…so what, who cares, just let this dealio blow up so we can all have more fun.

Here’s to Superman. I hope his wildest dreams are his MINIMUM achievements in the future. This guy has played his a$$ off for the Uni and his team mates for 5 years. I consider myself privileged to have witnessed it up close and personal. While I’m at it, this one’s for that possee of family, friends and extended family who have followed him all over the country for 4 years and been such great supporters and friends also.

This afternoon, 85 guys will be suiting up for the thousands who have preceded them as players, coaches, staff and support personnel for the University of Akron. I would have mentioned this earlier in the week…but I knew it was unnecessary because I have the confidence in JD and his staff to have conveyed that message already. GO STAFF.

Enough mush for now, I’m ready for some of Cap’s home brewski’s and a game!

i just wanted to say that this season has been a great way to show the students how much the university of akron cares about the state of the athletic department and the university wide academics. before my first class started this fall it was often mentioned of what students would be doing on saturdays instead of going to the football games, soccer games, or volleyball for that matter. mostly studying, working, or watching other games on tv. this semester there has been a new attitude with the coaching changes, new rec center, new student union, and even the faculty and staff are getting behind the athletic program. personally it has been great for me to have many of my peers tell me that they enjoy going to the games, and how they didn't expect the fun atmosphere that they have been experiencing this fall. it has been a blast to bring a crew of 20+ to every event that i have attended and show them where zips athletics is headed. namely our men's soccer team has shined this fall earning a MAC championship, and the big money sport, football, has put on a terrific, exciting performance this season. this football team has single handedly put faith, passion, and hope back into zips athletics ( in the eyes of the student body, for me it started a while ago with a couple of keys hires and signings).

That's my 2 cents for the day.... GO ZIPS!!!

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!

I suspect this will be your post-game emotion:

but seriously, good luck. I don't mean good luck in the game, I mean good luck filling up your rubber.

Man, I feel sorry for you guys: not only are you the "Zips" ( ), but you play in the "Rubber Bowl"?!?! ( )
