Kent State, Akron, or Wyoming?


Nov 4, 2016, 9:20 PM

I'm personally still most concerned about the Cowboys. Haven't figured out what a Zip is as of yet.

The Zippers!


Nov 4, 2016, 11:10 PM

The Zips name is unique in college athletics and comes from "zippers", rubber overshoes made by the BF Goodrich Company that were popular in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1925, a campus-wide contest had been conducted to choose a nickname for the university's athletic teams. Suggestions submitted by students, faculty, and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, Tip Toppers, Rubbernecks, Hillbillies, Kangaroos, and Cheveliers. The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, received a prize of $10 for "Zippers". Athletic director Kenneth Cochrane officially shortened the nickname to Zips in 1950. The university's mascot is "Zippy", a kangaroo. Zippy is one of only a few female college mascots in the United States.

Akron is known for being the "Rubber Capital" (home to Firestone and also houses a Goodyear Blimp) and the Zips previously played football in the "Rubber Bowl" as their stadium before moving closer to campus and the newer Infocision Stadium.

Zips current HC is... Terry Bowden!

Not sure if he will still be there when we commence playing the Zips, but that would be interesting as a school who formerly employed his brother as a HC.
