  1. What is wrong with MAC fans?

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted

    BuckZip,Why weren't you there? It was a good turnout. There had to be over 3,000 students at the game. We just beat Can't. And you're complaining about some attendance number. Coming on here saying, "What is wrong with MAC Fans" is ridiculous. You need to ask the question. "what is wrong with all the idiots in this area that root for the suckeyes and not the Zips?"

  6. What were they thinking??

    Who was the genius that decided to put general admission in the student section. We had general admission people sitting very close to the front row complaining about us standing up. We offered to switch seats with them and they blew off the idea to complain to the usher. The usher sent a cop that made them switch with us or sit somewhere else.. The problem with getting students to continue to come to games is that Akron doesn't do a good job taking care of us when they blend us in with general admission.The Roo Zoo should be for students first, we had trouble finding good seats because of all the general admissions people.

  7. The Plasma Center needs to be relocated.

    in General UA & Campus Discussion

    For those that have facebook, join this group The Official Petition to get the Plasma Center moved away from campus!!This place is an eye sore to the University because it brings drug addicts close to campus. Not everyone that donates plasma is a drug addict, but there are a lot that are. Students feel threatened to have these people so close to campus. The Plasma Center needs to be relocated. Help me make this happen.My next project: Figuring out how to purchase the Mayflower so that I can rid it of Section 8 and turn it into student housing for business and Polsky students.

  9. Zippy #1 Overall

    WKYC (Channel 3) started their 6 am news broadcast today with a stuffed Zippy sitting on the anchor desk and telling everyone to log in to CapitalOneBowl site and vote for Zippy. They also said they have the link on WKYC.com.They talked about Zippy yesterday as well. Has anyone else seen them mention this during their evening or other broadcasts?
    WKYC news is the only Cleveland News that gives Akron any respect. I'm glad they're doing this.When Akron played OSU, the lady on Cleveland’s ABC news channel said, "The Bucks get off to a slow start but fortunately made things happen in the second half to win."

  10. CSU and Akron to merge?

    B...ake,Business would go to Cleveland since they have a Doctoral program and UA does not. There already is a Midwestern State in Tx. but keep up the good work.
    I don't know if that would happen. Akron just created a new Finance lab in the CBA and already has the new Marketing floor in Polsky.

  11. CSU and Akron to merge?

    Zen, I understand the concerns you have over this merger. I share the same concerns.CSU is half of Akron in geographic size so it's hard for me to believe they're on a coup to take over everything, especially with Akron having over 7,000 more students and more money. Did you hear the news about Akron getting a record amount of money from gifts this year? Akron has too much power to become a branch of CSU. If the merger was to happen, there is the possibility of a name change for the combined schools. I highly doubt the new university will be named after either city, I don't see this happening because there's too much conflicting interest there.There's a lot of things that will have to be worked out of this merger is to happen. That's why we know so little right now.

  12. U Akron shot glasses

    Great idea! I collect shot glasses, and was at the bookstore over labor day while in OH for the Patriot Bowl. I was disappointed to see that they still only have the clear glass with the university logo available. While very nice, it wouldn't show up well in my shotglass case. Wish I weren't so far away, I would buy one for sure. Good luck with your enterprise. How about a Fear The Roo?
    "Fear the Roo" is trademarked by the university.

  15. CSU and Akron to merge?

    Let's look at the positives and the negatives.Positives:• It's going to save both universities money. • CSU and Akron's athletics would merge.• Both campuses can specialize at certain programs. Akron should be business, science, law, and engineering. CSU should be focused on medical programs like nursing, pharmaceuticals, and a med school.• Powerhouse school will be created that can compete with Columbus for power and prestige.• All the OSU fans in the area will complain about the new Northeastern Ohio school is taking away their media coverage outside of Columbus.• The Akron Beacon Journal will have to relocate all of there reporters back to Akron from Columbus.Negatives:• Republicans will have to admit that the Democrats did something positive for the area. (I'm a moderate so I can live with this).• Students that want to focus in certain programs might have to drive to Cleveland or Akron for SENIOR and JUNIOR classes (Wayne offers almost every freshman and sophomore class, even in accounting).I like the idea. From what I heard, Cleveland State will offer most of the same classes but will have new programs that Akron doesn't offer. Does anyone on this board know how prestigious Northwestern is??? I think this merger could create something like that. It could be called "Midwestern" or something like that.
