Let'sGoZips94

If the Zips can come out of these next 4 games 4-1 or 5-0, look for us to either be ranked, or at the very least, have a very close amount of votes to the top. This team could turn some heads.

Who wants to open up a Zips Kool-Aid stand with me? Might be the best business on the market with how many people will want to drink it after that quality win. I tweeted at Joe Lunardi last night after the game and said that he might want to change his prediction about Can't State being the 14 seed out of the MAC come tourney time. Dambrot finally got that big, season-changing win. He needed to break through one of these games. This team was the most athletic team out there last night, proving that mostly on the defensive end as we stole pass after pass and pressured/blocked shots all game long. Our offense looked very impressive. Long shots weren't falling all of the time, but we didn't take many of those 3 pointers that we would have in past years against a BCS team. Zeke controlled the paint, Diggs and Abreu controlled the passing lanes, and everyone else doubled the crap out of MSU. As Dicky V would say, "THIS AKRON TEAM IS FOR REAL, BABY! I'M STIRRING UP MY PITCHER OF ZIPPY KOOL-AID, BABY! DIAPER DANDIES AND GOOD COACHING SHOULD TAKE THIS TEAM DEEP IN THE NCAA TOURNEY, BABY!"

Klinsmann Calls 22 Congrats to Teal!

Great, so now they're gonna destroy us AND look sweet.

On the plus side, our punter looks good.

Did Tressel go undercover and become our coach? Gotta love these conservative play calls. NOT!

A draw was to be expected at some point early this season. Like Porter said before the season, the team may not be ready in the beginning, but come tourney time, they will be in a good position to win it all. The goal is still nothing less than winning the national championship.

I think it was '07 or '08 when we played the Suckeyes. I was on my way home from a cross country meet and my dad was giving me updates. He said we were up 2-0. I got to tell all my friends at that moment that we were beating the Suckeyes. Also, the Syracuse win.

There's only 1 thing I need to read on that jersey and that's the name on the front. Other than that, the only other letter/number I need to know is the one on the scoreboard. Other than that, these are some INSANELY cool kits.

Didn't even stay in the lines.

Agreed.

Just FYI, the tallest player on Sheridan's squad is 6'5 and they do not offer athletic scholarships in the CIS. I wouldn't take too much from the score, the Zips should roll in all of these games. Carleton is one of the premier Canadian programs however and should put up a good fight. They are about D2 level in talent as they get a number of D1 transfers who don't pan out in the States. Not a bad test at all, but a lot of these programs are scrubs compared to Division 1 players. Sheridan has forwards in the 6'2-6'4 range which is more along the lines of bad high schools in the states, but is quite the norm north of the border. I'd like to hear more about how the players picked up the coaches schemes, team chemistry, and fluidity on the court. Things like how the bench played, which groups of players played well together, and who started are good things to take from these games. As any D1 coach will tell you, these trips are much more about the practices than the games, which have little benefit in and of themselves. http://www.scgenerals.com/mbball/roster.asp It's actually 6'8, with numerous 6'7 players. No it's not. You're not playing that Sheridan. That's a JUCO in Wyoming. You're playing this Sheridan: http://www.sheridanbruins.com/pages/pop.php?name=mb Ahhh. Thank you sir. My bad. Haha.

That's a great ratio!

I went with Clayton Moore. This team needs a leader on offense, which usually comes from the QB position. Clayton seems to have the background needed to be that leader.

The Snow Bowl in '05 against Can't State where we destroyed them and made it to the MAC Championship Game.

ATTA BOY! Way to represent us tennis players!

I don't like the Capital One Cup. It gives out points based on how popular the sport is, at least that's how it seems. However, HUGE accomplishment. Really nice to see our name up there!

Any of the Can't State games that we have won. Those games are always intense and each one has a special twist to it. Also, the O-Who game when Linhart tipped it in with a few seconds left on the clock.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pumped for this basketball team. I think they have a chance to not only destroy the MAC, crack the top 25, but also make it to the Sweet 16. The athleticism is through the roof compared to years past from what I know. Also, the team's basketball IQ is supposed to be high. We have the potential to be a team the MAC hasn't seen in a while.

I wonder what Nagbe was thinking during that.

So what does this leave us with? Are there players we don't know about that are coming in?

That guy is lucky Steve-O's foot is completely snapped off from the rest of his leg. I think if it was still attached, but just broken, Steve-O would've kicked his butt. That's the most atrocious thing I've seen in soccer for a long time. That guy needs to be banned.

Here is a link of the top 18 year old girls in Northeast Ohio for USTA: http://tennislink.usta.com/tournaments/ran....aspx?id=882070 Natalie Robson goes to Revere and I'm pretty sure she is going to UCONN. A LOT of tennis programs, men's and women's, have foreign players on them. Some even have all foreign players. I'm pretty sure NIU's men's team is all foreign. It makes it harder for an American player to get a scholarship, but adds diversity and culture to college tennis.

That was honestly the worst national championship game in I don't know how long. Give the championship to VCU. They could've won it.
