The unsportsmanlike conduct has gone to far. Nasty has driven several high quality posters off the board. Your childish and unkind behavior is destroying ZipsNation. I try to give a look inside the team. I actually have access. If smart ass sniping is your meat you will destroy ZipsNation. Thirty years ago people similar to yourselves whined that the Zips were not good enough to join the MAC. Many people who lacked vision wanted to stay in the Ohio Athletic Conference. The OAC kicked Akron out. The university is well aware of the need to go up and out of the MAC. The MAC no longer fits for Akron. Nothing against the MAC. It is a fine One A conference. It just no longer is the best fit for Akron. Sports finances should improve by upgrading to a better conference. That is important. There is a need to generate more revenue. P5 type conferences generate more revenue and allow their members to participate in more sports at less cost to those universities. It is high time that posters on ZipsNation make some positive contributions to the discussions. I, for one, have a fair bit of quality information that needs to be shared with members of ZipsNation. I am reluctant to share this good information because everything is negative, a joke and spun to insult. I am tired of being ridiculed and made the butt of sorry jokes. I see that recently a young poster who has in the past held a positive attitude has turned into a sour, nasty poster like many of you are. What a shame. Like I stated, I WILL report EVERY nasty uncalled for post from here on out. ZipsNation has become a sewer.

Not sure about the quality teams, but I bet you didn't realize that the toxicity rating on Zips Basketball could change so drastically in just 13 days.

Well now you've done it. You know this is going on your permanent record, right?

Sorry to see you go, Balzy. I'm sure I'll see you on occasion. Keep spreading the love for the Zips in your classroom! We need young ones growing up rooting for the Zips. And even if you don't post on ZNo very often, remember that Zips football, basketball & soccer are fun entertainment, so don't stop attending! Go Zips!

Chargers take speedy Akron linebacker Jatavis Brown was MAC's defensive player of the year By Tom Krasovic | Chargers draftee Jatavis Brown is a speedy, versatile linebacker --- traits that are increasingly popular in the pass-happy NFL. Brown has 4.52 speed in the 40-yard dash, identical to Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, the 15th pick last year. As a weakside linebacker, Brown amassed huge tackling numbers for Akron. He had 12 sacks last year and was named Mid-American Conference defensive player of the year. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/30/chargers-jatavis-brown-akron-draft/

Darren out of the game....at 55 minutes replaced by Ben Zemanski.... the Akron connection has been mentioned several times

HA!!!!!!!!!!!! this made me laugh out loud!!!!!

JB1 is going to make an excellent NFL player. Beyond his talent, he has a great work ethic and I can't recall a single selfish play made by him. Very happy for him.
