Give me a break. Oden was mauled underneath and was off balance, simply trying to foul in what was a complete scuffle underneath the basket. It wasn't intentional, and it would be a true shame for a game between two teams going at it so hard to be decided by a call like that. Bottom line - the Xavier guy hits the 2nd free throw and it's over. And if Xavier doesn't throw a lazy inbounds pass late in the game, it's also over. Xavier had the game and lost the game, not the referees.

Xavier has a chance to ice it with a free throw, misses, ends up losing the game...did anyone else feel their pain? lol

Or we could just focus on winning the MAC Title next year

Wouldn't it be even better next year to focus on...next year? Why would we want to re-live this crap when we can focus on a pretty damn good team next year finally making it to the Big Dance?

Zip Watcher (and anyone else),Try this one out:http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?...30&s_tafId=8081It should work...if not please let me know...and thanks!

A) Funny that you say to act with class and then bash our school.B.) I certainly hope you weren't inferring that Miami OH is a school known for sports. C) While I personally hope Miami does well, I don't think I'll be doing any of their chants lol.

It's an interesting question...The arguments to cheer for Miami?- Looks good for the MAC if they have a good showing- Charlie Coles has been a huge Zips supporter- They didn't do anything to us...it was the officials and committeesAnd to cheer against?- Should be us there...might hurt to see them do wellThoughts?

Well please think harder next time. I'm hardly PC all the time, but comparing our basketball team not making the postseason to the largest terrorist attack in United States history is nothing short of ridiculous.

Click HereMods, I hope this is OK. It's an extremely important event to me and I thought ZN could help me with a great cause.

Tell me you didn't just compare the Akron Zips basketball team not making a postseason tournament to 9 freaking 11...

How about that ain't happening. To quickly let this injustice blow over just endorses the idea that it's O K to screw over the little guy. My bitterness and resentment toward the old farts at the NIT will remain strong for a long time. I'm not going to get over it soon damn it.Slay the NIT committee And just like the bracket burning, or the shirt, or whatever protest idea...what does it accomplish? It's time to move on...

How about "Let's get over it and focus on next year"?

I've always liked high-step, high-energy bands. Horn-hits, swinging horns, etc. And maybe play some music that people will get into - a good oldie or two, maybe even a recent tune.

I think this has more to do with people being treated equally and less to do with you Moo. You really did nothing wrong.

Can't we just post the story here? Isn't that the rule here?

*cough* 42-14 *cough*Gators are not in your bracket. That means that if you can survive long enough, I'll get out the popcorn and root for a repeat embarassment for the 2nd time in several months. I'll say two things:1) Bow, if you have something to actually bring to discussion then great. If you're just trying to pick fights, get lost. You're making us other Akron/OSU fans look bad. 2) Zen, is it really possible to rip on OSU for losing in the National Title game when our school will never even make it to one? I'm just saying...they kind of have ultimate scoreboard on the field.

No offense...but what are you basing your opnion on that they don't want to play PG? And why in the world wouldn't you start those two?

Glad to see he stepped up and apologized...I made mention of his snapping in my blog, I'll also make sure to make mention of an apology. There's nothing wrong with him defending his beliefs...but the snide remarks werent needed. Glad to see he (hopefully) realizes that now.

I think Swiech is the key to the season. Do you guys realize what a guy his size could do in the MAC, even as a freshman?

Start of the season:F-Wood/Swiech/BardoF-Milum/McKnightF-Linhart/Conyers/McKnight/RybakG-Middleton/McNeesG-Dials/StewardEnd of the season:F-Swiech/Milum/BardoF-Wood/McKnightF-Linhart/McKnight/Conyers/RybakG-Middleton/McNeesG-Dials/Steward

Do we just take it from the NCAA/NIT and say "oh, thank you....may we please have some more?"Is it being a sore loser to do anything to make it known that we're not happy with being screwed? Sore losers whine when they legitimately lose. We didn't legitimately lose a NIT berth; we were screwed out of it. Just look at the RPIs. What do you accomplish by burning brackets or doing a protest? And do you really think that will make them look favorably on us in the future?

I mayyyy or may not have forwarded his e-mail to Timmy to numerous media outlets....

Nothing like looking like a bunch of sore losers. And trust me, whether it's right or wrong, that's how we'd be perceived around the country.

I'm not going to post a link to my blog on this post (The Mods don't want me to for whatever reason), but I have some thoughts on this whole issue that I think everyone should read.

This guy will do and say ANYTHING to get website hits. He is the Triv of Internet radio - say something controversial/anti-something, get people pissed off, get listeners/callers/web hits. It's smart, but please, don't buy into his stupid games.
