What is a Zip?


Nov 25, 2018, 10:12 AM

I like to know what I'm cheering for.

Will Usuck lose to Akron next week? I haven't looked it up this morning, but in the last couple of weeks someone posted how many of our opponents lose the week after they lose to us, no doubt because we are their biggest game of the season and we get everyone's best shot. Of course, Pitt decided to go the way of Miami of last year and lose the week before they play us. SMH

Zippy is the female mascot of the University of Akron athletics team. Zippy is a kangaroo, and was chosen by a committee in 1953.

The school's nickname, "Zips", is a shortening of "Zippers", a pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company of Akron. It was originally adopted by the school in 1925 after a contest to give the school a nickname. "Kangaroos" was one of the choices at the time. In 1950, the current nickname was adopted because of the rising popularity of zippers in use on pants. Two years later, a committee suggested the kangaroo as a mascot,[1] and it was accepted by the student council on May 1, 1953. Originally, it was met with derision, as it was not put to a campuswide vote. However, over time, Zippy has become a fan favorite at the school.

I believe it’s a large carnivorous insect, indigenous to the Lake Erie/Ohio River Valley Regions, feeds primarily on chickens and fat idiots that make videos in their car.
