ZipCat

Phew, finally turning it around! Keep it up boys! 4 mins!!!!!!

That review for a foul was absurd.

Refs are desperately trying to give this game to the Bobcats.

The Fix is obviously in...

And they got away with a trillion in the first half.

Dear god this team is as strong as tissue paper...

I did not miss your point; you're implying a non-profitable venture is somehow done better by a for-profit company. That's unsustainable and would break in the future. It's a gamble. It's a ponzi scheme that relies on constant taxpayer subsidies to exist, and gambles that a burgeoning private-sector demand for Starship will exist in the future. It's a privatized-company gamble funded by you and me. It's running on investor capital and taxpayer subsidies. If it doesn't payoff it's you and I who are out footing the bill. It's you and I the taxpayer who are impacted. It's the common welfare that's affected. But relating this back to The University of Akron: A private company running stuff on campus doesn't save students money. And if it doesn't save students money it shouldn't be done. A Public University should not be a front for private-interests to line their pockets.

Well 2nd half looking better.

Jesus whatever line they give the Zips IMMEDIATELY take whatever the other team is.

Like the past couple of games, they just go into like panic mode when they get down and it. makes it worse.

Or stop rushing the shot/rushing a 3...

18-11 Miami. But Miami threw down 3 straight 3s, and the Zips threw up like 4 bricks in a row.

They might be done building it by the end of the first 10 min...

They're a non-profit government agency. So that's a stupid question. A better question is What is the economic impact of NASA technological development? Since it's economic impact outweighs its cost, not to mention the measurable impact it's had on STEM for the past 60 years...Here's a better question: When has SpaceX (or any private rocket company) ever returned a profit? Oh, and before you try to cite the WSJ article claiming SpaceX turned a profit in 2023 (according to self-released records), they had several investor capital fundraisers last year...and have been running in the red relying on government subsidies and contracts and private investor capital to keep going. A boondoggle isn't a good example. And relating it back to UA ... the "profit" doesn't go to UA, it goes to a private company. Is it going to decrease the cost to students? No? Is it going to increase the quality/value to students? No? It's scammy. Just like those speed cameras where 80% of the ticket goes to the private company. Just another example of the private sector leaching off the public sector tit.

The ban took place into Arth's tenure, not when he was immediately hired, So 2019ish? Balsy's last post was December of 2019 (so less than 5-years) But speaking of that also: DannyHoke was permabanned somewhere around 2021. Zip-Grad '13 was also banned around that same timespan. Same topic. That's three posters here who were banned because they talked unfavorably about a coach at Akron. That's why I find it entirely possible someone could have gotten Permabanned for being anti-Groce.

Balsy. He was Perma-banned for the Bowden/Arth debates after Arth was hired. The dude was banned for pointing out it was a bad move.

Using an Oxford analysis between SpaceX and NASA isn't the bolstering claim you think it is. NASA's bread-and-butter is innovating new nonexistent technology, and is hampered by political interests of Congress. While SpaceX's replication of already existent technology (that wouldn't exist without Public Funding and decades of work and research by NASA footing the upstart cost) is to be commended, their ability to innovate is nothing short of a disaster. "Failure is not an option" has been replaced with "well, it cleared the tower before it blew up!" level incompetence. No privatization generally means less-quality and less public control, which means less sense of community and less caring. Not to mention, NASA isn't actually saving that much money using SpaceX when compared to when it ran the SpaceShuttle in terms of the payloads themselves. There's a lot of bad reporting out there (that doesn't do the math they just take the reports of a private company with unopened books as gospel), and SpaceX is burning through investment cash...which demonstrates it's not running profitably (so it's all an illusion).

Or he was banned? There's been a stint of long-time posters getting permabans for having disagreements with other posters.

This team blows...

I still have a bridge to sell you... I'm a diehard Akronite, but I'm under no delusion that this is a true statement.

Does Anyone know where anywhere someone can buy a decent Akron-Zips fan football jersey?

Yuck...I really am not a fan of this logo

If you earnestly think that's true...I have a bridge to sell you.

Nah, just the further privatization (and skimming) of public funds to private hands. Everyone should honestly be against stuff like this.
