  5. Most Meaningfull Game in 20 Years

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted

    I don't think there are any storms or tornados forecasted...........

    We are playing a hated rival.............

    There are Championship implications(which everyone has said was needed for good attendance)

    TV Coverage(granted ESPNU)

    It's late now......the game is early I HOPE THE WHOLE F'ING CITY OF AKRON knows what is going on and GOES TO THE GAME!!! If there is a crowd supporting the team, IT IS A GUARANTEED WIN! If not, the players are doing it for themselves as usual.

    I will find a bar covering the game with MY throwback jersey on and work the house.

    8K is my prediction and more grilling from the ESPN announcers.

  6. HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    White thinks the team has taken the right steps to make sure it doesn't happen again - especially since the game could be the last of his career.

    The Zips are no longer in the running for the Mid-American Conference Championship after Miami beat Ohio last night. White said the game is a big one regardless.

    "This is an important game against a rival, there's always a lot riding on it, it's going to be on TV - this game has everything for the end of my career," he said. "If we lose, it will be a big disappointment and if we win, it will mean everything."

    I hope JD explains this game is more important than a rivalry.

    Furthermore, regarding attendance: Did any of you myopic attendance whiners see the radar screen yesterday afternoon? Did you see the weather forecasts? Thunderstorms. Hail. Heavy winds to 30MPH. Did you see the freaking downpour that happened all morning and into the afternoon in NE Ohio? Despite all that, and the fact that people could find the game on television or the local sports bar, and that is was held on a work/school night, 7k showed up. Yeah, it is a real shocker there weren't more people in attendance.

    7k attendance would have not changed if it were 70 and clear. History shows us that.

    Here is a provident idea for you just to show I am not myopic...........When televising a Zip football game, move the cameras to visiting side so it at least looks like there are people there. If that is not an option - move the fans, band, and team to the other side of the field so the cameras see the 7k. There are no differences in the sidelines.

    I got to see some of the game tonight thanks to the MU/BGSU delay. What I saw.... Getsy looks great, Biggs is an animal, D looks tough and as expected the Akron community is somewhere else. Just got done fielding calls from my buds chastising me about the crowd. What can you say?

    Why would anyone consider building a new stadium? I wont get started again but I just dont get it. Embarrassing

  19. Thanksgiving Day game

    I know this a rather trifling comment but............Since we are going to be on National TV on Thanksgiving, I wish we were wearing our new/current uniforms. No disrespect to the teams of the past but since we are going to be on display nationally, shouldnt we look up to date. I am skeptical about the timing and turnout for this game, but definately dont agree with the timing of the throwback uniforms. It's not like the nation is going to go run out buy throwback Akron jerseys. BTW, I still have mine and will be wearing it.

    No way. KD is not nearly proven enough yet. The folks in Cinci would throw an absolute fit if anyone like Dambrot was even in the final 3. They want a big name for a big time program down there. KD is in Akron for at least another 3-4.

    Great leaders know that great people are the key, W-Ls are not everything in the first years. If I was AD, I would want a recruiter, charisma, and an Xs-Os guy.........

    if you say KD needs a couple years, I says he will be bought. I was hoping he was a homer and will stay to be a legend.

    I said weeks ago we need to keep the good people we have in place or all efforts will be wasted. I don't understand why we don't throw a little cash around to keep these people.

    I will keep my faith in LP like the majority does. I am of the mind that "if it ain't broke, don't break it." I would sacrifice a few bones to keep quality people if it costs a couple less stands or suites in the "new stadium"...... It won't get filled anyways...and BTW you CAN plan for expansion!

    The stadium will cost millions, you need the right people to make it happen.

    Thomas, 45, received his B.S. degree in Business Administration from Colorado State University in 1983

    Brookhart, who starred as a wide receiver at Colorado State (1985-87)

    Cincy needs a new B-Ball coach........ours is pretty good, if the $s are there..Yeeha.

    Ba bye.

  25. Should Soccer Team play wit a chip on its

    in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer

    What if, the Zips lost to St Johns or tied......... :blink: Would they still be number 1? They have quality wins and would have lost/tied to the #3 team. All other teams ranked have losses and or ties.

    Akron - wins against Maryland, Buffalo, SMU, and Penn St.

    New Mexico - tie against unranked

    St Johns - 1 loss, 3 ties

    UNC - 2 loss, 1 tie

    Uconn - 2 lost, 1 tie

    UVA - 1 loss, 2 tie

    Indiana - 1 loss, 3 tie

    Hopefully it does not happen, but St Johns does not give up many goals.

    Projection...........1 - nil Zips.
