  1. I just want to thank You Know Who for not calling him "BENTACOURT" (yet)! And, before taking a detour to Bobkittienation.com, I just want to tell Zipsnation how excited I am, that I will have the pleasure of RE-USING my Giant Zips Heads when the Kittens take the floor for next year's Diamond Head Classic!!! If Coach Christian's charges hadn't blown another Akron game, I probably couldn't have gotten away with that.
  2. Will someone please steal that flag for Z.I.P.? He would really like to have that. Alternatively, does someone sell such an item?
  3. You should have seen the LA Galaxy -- Real Salt Lake game last night. At least MLS has the excuse that the regular refs are on strike!
  4. Quite simply-dimply: Deji will make the difference -- especially if Quincy continues his inconsistency. And I would sure have liked to see Kwan get a few minutes vs Buffalo. I think we can use what he brings (especially without Jake) - but he will always be a Euro-style wing, not a '4'.
  5. Sorry, but I mistakenly posted this on LAST YEAR'S pro-Zips thread. Only Eric Stevenson remains in MLS of Akron draftees. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/status-of-2014-mls-draftees_aid32632
  6. No mention of Akron draftees on the board recently -- According to TDW, only Eric Stevenson is still on an MLS roster!? Wow.http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/status-of-2014-mls-draftees_aid32632
  7. Spring schedule, OK ---- Now can anyone give us any hints on the FALL Schedule?
  8. "I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season and a Happy New Year!" That's all very interesting, since as we all know, Thai New Year and the Water Festival is in April!
  9. Well, BeeGee certainly put together a great game the other night in beating a CMU team that looked like it wouldn't lose again until NCAA time. Kudos to the Falcon women who "held" Crystal Bradford to 14 points 14 rebounds in leveling themselves and the Chipps at the top of the MAC standings with one loss each. And congratulations to Falcon Jill Stein. Did anyone else vote for her for President??
  10. Why YES, Mr Go Zips, we do! That game generated more publicity than just about any other nationally televised game. Thanks BTW for mentioning the eleven. I think the OU game makes 12.
  11. Health investment by the school? Does the UA have a printing press for $$$ now?? Where's it coming from?
  12. No Akron fan should be satisfied with this performance. We are barely playing well enough to beat bad and physically depreciated teams like BeeGee. HOWEVER -- at least the game was nationally televised on ESPN Full Court ONCE AGAIN (!) though I didn't know till this morning. This is the team's 11th national broadcast on ESPN this season!
  13. Mahalo lobo! I fixed it! Forgot about Teal. Wonder if a Nanchoff ever played for USA?
  14. Didn't anyone else watch the Korea match (like anyone at Gozips.com??)? DeAndre became -- as far as I know -- the first Akron player to cap with the USMNT. He looked good for the few minutes I saw him, roaming the left -- no make that the right -- side just like he does for the Sounders. Held his own.
  15. Akron plays Eastern Michigan at home tomorrow night, and something inside the UA athletic department is starting to rupture my okole. This is, I believe the third game this year (2014) to be nationally broadcast on the ESPN Full Court (the Portage State, Toledo and @EMU games were on in Jan.) -- but the athletic department has not once provided this info to the public in their press releases on upcoming games -- they only list "ESPN3". This is on TELEVISION, folks, you don't have to look at the crummy computer screen! However, you DO have to put up with Michael Reghi one more time! : / BTW -- whatever happened to our list?? It sucks lately! Maybe someone can tell us ol futs how to use the new system. No emoticons except smiley? No way to add a link like before... Is that why traffic is way down?
  16. Have you ever heard of THIS man? When we have produced someone like that, and win back-to-back national championship, then maybe we can compare ourselves... Until then, We Are Akron! Stand proud.
  17. I like Bentacourt! Or whoever...
  18. That is awesome! I have to think that Rachel must be on the WNBA Draft board (along with the young lady from Michigan who is Akron's foil! Go Rachel go!
  19. Actually, according to the Resource Conservation and Control Act of 1976, EPA toxic wastes must be incinerated before they can be dumped (i.e., buried). What, am I the only environmental scientist on the board???
  20. Well...It would appear that this thread has an agenda that it is hiding...If in fact, you were planning to have a discussion about "Nobody really likes football (i.e., "soccer")!", you should have placed that on the "Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer" forum! But then you would likely have been outmanned by those who don't or rarely come to the (US) Football forum. Better yet, why don't you register and place your opinion on the BigSoccer forum. I'm sure it will get plenty of discussion there!
  21. I'd love to hear from someone (wink, wink) who knows his chances of making the World Cup squad...
  22. Better solution: Forget AA. bring back Zeke!!!
  23. Meanwhile, I don't think I saw anything about our old friend Anthony! Ampai was sold from Buriram to Bangkok United last summer. Looks as if he's enjoying life...
  24. Well, maybe he can catch on in the NHL. His older brother Michael, former LA Galaxy MF was working for the Colorado Avalanche (promotions), last I heard.
