Captain Kangaroo Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Checking in on the 2008 class, it appears nothing has changed. You never know until the signatures come off the fax machine, but right now what you see is what we'll get. No new commits or de-commits as of 12:30pm today.Minor notes:Barring a major development, we're out of the Marquis Avery sweepstakes.No...I repeat NO...public press conference is being held to announce the 2008 class. I am checking into attending the media press conference.Wisconsin is pretty much off the Zips 2008 schedule.Wish I had more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zff Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks for the update Capn'I wish we could get an update when the Letter of Intent is faxed in. I know that is a lot to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Wisconsin is pretty much off the Zips 2008 schedule.Will we get I-AAAA North Carolina Backwoods here or at their place next year to fill the gap? Any word on what fund-raisers the program will be hosting to make up for the lost revenue? Seriously - any word, CK, on who will fill in for the Badgers?

I also wonder if the Gardner info is true. It is crunch time, so I'm not going to bug anyone for "scoop" info. The next 18 hours or so will be pretty frenetic.

Any word on what fund-raisers the program will be hosting to make up for the lost revenue? Seriously - any word, CK, on who will fill in for the Badgers? Seriously - some of you guys are really hung up on the imaginary Wisconsin game. We are not playing them. They have not been on our 2008 schedule for about 2 years. They were at one time BUT not anymore. No one needs to fill in for a team that we are not playing. We already have 12 regular season games scheduled. Thats the most we can schedule unless one of the games is against Hawaii. We don't play Hawaii in 2008 either. Maybe we can schedule Hawaii.

(I was beginning to feel like a VCU fan there for a second!) For the most part, I can only go by what I see currently on Wisconsin's web site ('future schedules' still showed Akron for next year as recently as a few days ago) and ours. I wouldn't expect our web site to be completely up-to-date and ASSUMED a Big Ten school would have the resources to keep theirs a bit more current. As far as I know, ZipsNation.org hasn't yet added a 'future schedules' link and if it has been mentioned in any of the previous football threads, I plain ol' missed it. I did e-mail the football staff at Akron a few weeks ago regarding the outdated 'future schedules' web site page. They indicated that the 2008 schedule wouldn't be officially announced until sometime in March. No feedback regarding the dated schedules page.Anyone on the board know what the 2008 OOC schedule looks like at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from a site that updates DAILY, yet it still has Wisconsin game on the schedule.
