Captain Kangaroo

I’m out of town so I couldn’t attend.

Any chance you could pass along the details? The wife and I will be at the game. I checked my emails, and the alumni web site, and couldn't find anything.

Man, I miss Charles Guthrie. Goodrich is just riding his predecessors marketing wave.🙄

Too bad @Zipmeister is seemingly on an extended hiatus...this is his chance to force the Zips to throw to the TE on at least 3 successive plays.

I’m sure it’s possible. PM me and I can call UA on Monday. @HoopsFan03 - would you like to play with LGZ and his pops?

I’m considering playing if we can get a ZN foursome together. If @HoopsFan03 still wants to play, we’d need 2 more. Any takers?

Everything is impossible...until someone does it. No one has ever actually tried to fill a Zips football stadium since Mike Waddell back in the early 2000's. "Build it and they will come." It's that simple, huh? Who knew you'd actually need to exert an effort to bring people to Infocision in respectable, profit-bearing numbers? Guthrie prioritized his grammar school-level Graphic Designer skills over expending any effort to address it. Others were let off the hook the day Scarborough lazily claimed "I wouldn't have built that stadium" (so the empty seats aren't my fault). That's a really easy, one-size-fits-all excuse way to avoid tackling the issue. Valid for a lifetime. If Goodrich publicly states he's going to fill the stadium, that's infinitely better than anything I've seen in the past 2 decades. It takes guts...guts that the Rhodes, Helsel, Wistercill, Williams and Guthrie's never showed. I trust that he has a decent plan. If it doesn't sell out, the increased attendance over recent history will still be noteworthy.

6’ 8” guard?

Isn't Enrique on a two-way ($600k/yr.)?

Mahaffey-Akron Fantasy Camp was 2025-26. At UC, Eric is likely pulling in a minimum of $400,000 more than the Zips best offer. Eric and his fat wallet can hook up with big bro' at mom and dad's at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I agree. Joe took over a well-funded juggernaut when he accepted the Zips job. 13-35 should have been 35-13. The practices we couldn’t hold last season should have kept the team fresh. Instead we struggled in the red zone. i think the Zips lead the MAC in NIL funds, and student body support. That alone’s gotta be worth 2-3 wins this year? Joe’s had every possible advantage known to man after taking over for Tom Arth. I can’t believe the team hasn’t improved every year since he’s been HC. Oh wait…it has.

My first two thoughts when I look at that photo are - I hardly know most of these guys I’m happy to see Barre isn’t in a walking boot

My company covers my phone? Seems like a booger of an expense not to cover...probably 0.001% of the cost of the Country Club membership + dues? Oh well...he's gone, and we move on.

What if those paying the NIL have bottomless money?

An extra 30-40% more games means an NIL $$ increase of 30-40%. I'm guessing the players are ok with that. There is the issue of going to college and passing classes while playing 50-55 games. You don't have that concern in minor league baseball. I'm guessing players would not be big supporters of that extended grind. I also wouldn't care to watch 50 Zips basketball games. 35 is plenty.
