Captain Kangaroo

Looked like there were two Arby’s logos on the shirt?

If you like watching rich kids steal from the homeless…

One last note on the Gruden diatribe - he mentioned Ara Parseghian as a Zip?! He was born in Akron, and enrolled at Akron, but didn’t attend classes…he instead enlisted in the Army (WWll). Dwight Smith wins him a Super Bowl and he pimps Ara Parseghian?

You know Akron had to have written the teleprompter script. Why does Gruden avoid mentioning Dwight Smith? No way it’s just an accidental oversight.

Zips flag flying in the Midway fairgrounds parking lot. Reminds me of the good old rubber bowl days in Akron. We’re the only ones here in a grass lot that could fit 5000 cars.😀

I’ll go 41-13 Wake Unlike when we beat NC State 20 years ago, we won’t have a 4th year Pittsburgh transfer, returning MAC Championship QB + a ring of honor WR to rely on. We’ll have a redshirt freshman in his first start and a bevy of WR’s who’ve never caught one of his passes in a real game. Broughton is a QB that can make things happen with his arm, and more-likely his legs. Tough kid. That’s why I see him as #1, and Ruggow #2. If we’re to have a shot, CB will need to channel his inner Armanti Edwards…or Kyle Pohl.

When I began my professional career in 1989 my mandatory attire was: Dry clean only pants Button down long sleeved shirt Dress socks, belt and dress shoes. And you better have your ass in your seat, ready to work at 8 am Today: Blue jeans are fine Untucked shirt is fine Sneakers are fine If you roll in the office at 9am and leave at 4 pm...you're working harder than most Two or three days a week you can work from home in pajama bottoms and a stained tee shirt Untucked football uniform? Meh...it's 2026.

It's about that time...time to start talking about the Zips upcoming opponent. I will be traveling to Winston-Salem for the game. What the heck...it should be good weather and a great time. We'll hit Asheville for an extended weekend afterwards. Will my trip to Lourdes France bring the miracle we need to get Poffenbarger eligible, or has the Cibastian Broughton Era gotten off to an earlier-than-expected start?

I have heard from a few different sources that is doesn't look good for Reese to be the Zips QB this fall. Maybe something changes...but as of 8/24/26...it doesn't look good.

🤣

If Butchie Washington has kept himself in shape, shoot 'em a text and gauge his interest.

Paraphrasing Jerry Tarkanian - "The NCAA was so mad at Texas Tech they put Akron on probation for 5 years."

I heard Goodrich will be introducing a cool new contest to follow up the OC Promotion - "Hey Zips fans - YOU can quarterback the Zips for the Wake Forest Game" I can't provide any further details...I'm sworn to secresy.

I’m out of town so I couldn’t attend.
