    Will always wonder what could have been. That catch and run against Tennessee was Marshawn lynch-esque.

    Damn shame. Really hate it for him.

    A quality gator, judging by his post.

    That's the one play I can see in my mind's eye when I think about him. He was in beast mode and willed himself to that TD. If that play had happened in The Swamp, it would have been immortalized.

    Funny, the first word that comes to my mind when remembering Zipperer is "beast."

    Besides that potential he was likely the best blocking TE at one point too.

    What? He never transferred and didn't waste anything. He was injured and has endured multiple surgeries in his attempt to get back on the field (also got his degree)

    KZ: Life doesn’t always go as planned. God willing you have taken to heart all the educational opportunities available to place yourself in position to have a meaningful career in the real world. Thanks for being a loyal Gator, something I fear we will see fewer and fewer of in the future. Good luck and God bless.
