  1. Unfathomable! 

    Play that team 20 times, we should win all 20.

    Play that team 50 times with a 10 point second half lead, we should win 50.

    I think we have more bad stretches of play than good this year.

    Cinderella is a world away!

    My Zips basketball life is slip, slip, slipping away!

    In my opinion this is exactly what’s wrong with the program and the MAC. Being happy about another guaranteed thrashing for a payday is mind boggling to me. This happens yearly. We will guaranteed start off 0-1 and frankly will lose to Rutgers and South Carolina. That is 3 loses right there, but as fans we should accept it all because it will be a pay day for the university? Goodness.

     

    Akron should drop down to FCS. Yea board, dislike this post, quote this and trash me. I don’t care. At least at FCS we may be able to win and host a playoffs game. Being a guaranteed win for these big programs is bullshit. Expecting fans to accept it because it’s a payday for the university not only is bullshit as well, but also a clear sign your program does not deserve to be FBS. 
     

    I’m fed up with being a Zips fan and accepting this crap. But this board doesn’t like to go against the grain, so I’m sure I’ll be more lectured how im wrong on this and how I need to be happy. Someone on here said this is a positive to see the program go against  big competition. Just stop. That’s a clear sign you cheer for a loser program. Accepting this due to the payday…goodness.

    Well said! The only fans I want to hear from are those who show up every week and we got screwed out of a winnable home game. Miller and Guthrie are a couple of clowns. I wish they would go join the circus.  That 3 mil will go a long way of funding our leaders and their over priced salary, trips and other amenities.  I am ever so close of not renewing my season tickets.

    With the lots opening up to all season ticket holders it'll be interesting to see if Lot 9 fills up early this fall...  or if it's just the normal family-and-friends.

     

    I'll be there early, but probably not more than 2 hours prior to kick-off. 🍻💪🦘

    Thats not early!

  4. Hello ZN,

    I have numerous old UA items that are available.  Old team and player posters, basketball game day roster handouts, trading cards, a few shirts, schedule magnets and team pictures. These are free.

     

    I have many other items not listed here that are available at a nominal price.

    Bob Huggins was the best University of Akron basketball coach in my lifetime without a doubt.  KD or Groce could not hold a candle to him.  Huggins and Akron basketball got screwed after Akron hired Faust as the football coach and wanted to move up in Football to Div1A from then Div 1AA (now FBS and FCS).  Maybe you all are too young to remember Huggins, but 85-86 season was magical, led by Marcel Boyce.  They moved to the Northeast (I believe) conference and Akron went down hill and Huggins left for Cincinnati.  

    # 21, Mar cel Boyyyyyycccceeee. Love him!

  6. Have no fear, ZipsWin! is here! I always enjoy my ride to BG and then a stop at Frickers...Then I remember that I have to watch a game at the most poorly constructed basketball arena, ever...Not one seat in the house was built at the correct angle or slope, but I digress...ZipsWin baby!

  7. What does a division for P5 only accomplish? 

     

    70 of the 75 teams in a P5 division will not compete for the national championship so what's the point?  

     

    So a crappy Okla State played Alabama instead and got routed.  What does that prove?

     

      I'm not arguing the fact that Cincy or any other G5 has no chance, but like I pointed out 70 of the P5 schools have no chance either...

  8. Transfer Portal.

    Great topic.  Horrific idea.

    The TP is a microcosm of society. No rules, no laws, no morals, not about working hard, doing the right thing, it’s about quitting and it’s all about me, me, me. The team concept is gone. Ditto for NIL.  That said, it’s here to stay and we need to be the first to hire a Transfer Portal coach and hopefully Mr. Leaf Filter can fund our NIL account.

    Clearly, I side more with CK than GP1 on this topic, but we need to deal with it and figure out a way to at least make the rules neutral for UA.  The NCAA would never institute new rules or policies designed to help out the G5, so while the TP does give us more flexibility to fill gaps, how much fun is it to root for a team full of one- year players?   Furthermore, the thought of developing guys for two or three years and then they wake up one day and decide to leave just because they can is bs.  Hell, it’s been 30 years since Anthony Buford left the hoops team to follow Huggins to UC and he actually had to follow the rules, sit out a year and he followed his coach, but I’m still pissed that after three years with UA he left.  I still don’t consider him a Zip.  Zips are forever or is it Forever a Zip?

    I think the TP will help teams like Purdue to get a player or two that they would not have had a chance to recruit out of high school, and of course it gives P5 schools the opportunity to fill gaps with older and hopefully more mature players but it will not impact the top 10 teams at all.  For every 4 star player OSU might lose, they can fill the gaps with another teams 4 star upper classmen.   

    As for the Zips, I hate to see Gibson, Mathison and Mumpfield go.  Personally, I thought Gibson had great MAC upside and I said this after the shortened ‘20 season.  He and his mom will be missed.  Are there any Zip fans out there who has the time to create a spreadsheet and follow the Zips-out versus the Zips-in via the portal to see if we are benefiting from the portal or is the portal a detriment.

    Lastly, @bigjim, is that you?

    So while checking to see if Getsy has any interest would be ideal, how about a 50 ish year old who had a head coaching shot at a P5 school that didn't quite pan out who might be available?

    I would guess guys on the UC staff are waiting for a big payday if Fickell goes elsewhere.

    I'm glad UA took my advice and found the right guy.  Thank You.

    I concur. However, I bet Michigan would have fired Harbaugh by this point if they wouldn't have owed him so much $$. They did make him take a pay cut IIRC. Same goes for Nebraska and Frost.  Sometimes being hamstringed by your own dumb decisions can pay off. More patience is needed in CFB.

    Screw Nebraska football. I hope they never win another game until the pay us per the details of the original contract.
