Let'sGoZips94

Does this count as an excuse or a legit reason: We suck. We have WRs that don't have hands. Our QB was better tonight, but still isn't that accurate. Our RBs dance too much without going up field. Don't get me wrong, I was impressed with the 20 points, but we still suck. I LOVE the Zips, but something needs to start clicking or we could finish last in the MAC east again.

I don't think they played to their full ability last night. And that's an honest opinion.

It is not big enough as far as I know.

Haha, I switched work days from Wednesday to Friday so I could go down to the OSUcks game. Oh well, I'll figure out a way to follow the game. Go Zips!

Are we really that good? Are we that much better than the no. 2 team in the country? Or was someone watching Tulsa from the moon through a telescope? In my opinion, we are. I don't know if we'll score 4 goals game in and game out from hear on out, but we are the real deal. I am proud to be a Zip. Oh and... PORTER PORTER

Me three.

Really? Is it already time to start throwing up again? Come on. I didn't even have time to change barf bags.

Yeah, he says it's fine, just wearing it for precautionary reasons. He HATES it.

They are very uneducated. "Akron went on to win the College Cup (national championship)." "I am guessing that Akron, the team TU lost to in the tourney, is still Number One? They lost so many players, Im surprised they are still there." I WISH we won the College Cup. They do fix it later in the thread, but still. Should be a GREAT atmosphere.

After a long talk with my idol at Akron, I have had some sense knocked into me. My true fanhood has been awakened. All I have to say is...

I, for one, am all for getting rid of this guy. Maybe not now, but at the end of the season. You schedule a DII team for a win, and you lose. Enough said there, but there's more. Your style of play is VERY VERY VERY BORING! I'm a diehard Zips fan and I didn't even go to the game today. I didn't want to. I knew that if we would blow them out, its just a blowout against a DII school. If the game is close, Akron sucks. I am so sick of thinking "Oh. About that. We're Akron, we can't do that". Bull Crap. Do you know how these big schools got to where they are now? They believe they could do it, so they made it happen. How do you think our soccer program got to be as good as it is today? When Ken Lola left, they didn't just go out and find a Joe-Shmo who is a coordinator or whatever. They got the BEST COACH IN THE NATION! Point is, something's gotta give. Now, I like Dr. P. He's not the problem IMO. He just needs help finding the right guys. I also like Tom, but I don't think he's getting the job done. :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Might I add that we might be the most respected sports team in college sports? I don't know another team as dominate as Akron is in soccer for as long as we've been. I mean Penn State women's volleyball beats akron's soccer, but as far as football and basketball go, I can't think of anyone.

Offense: -21. Brian Wagner: 40. GW: 24 Does this game count in the football vs. soccer score contest? I don't think it should. Soccer doesn't play D-II teams.

Nuff said...

I think it's awesome that we know why we are named what we are. Go ask a Can't State fan what's a flush and how'd you get that name and their heads will explode.

I didn't know he had left. Damn! He was great for the program. He is still listed as Akron's coach, but here is the confirmation: http://wakeforestsports.cstv.com/sports/w-.../082710aab.html I do expect that some out of successful coaches but we are also lucky to have some pretty loyal guys in Dambrot, Mitchell and Porter. You forgot a girl named Coach Kest.

This is such great news. I learned of this news last week when my friend told me. I spent pretty much all last summer working with him on my basketball game. He had since developed a "basketball school" where he taught kids of all ages. In the meantime, he had been going to camps all summer to try to get noticed by teams. Never worked out. I am so happy for him, though. He's one of the hardest workers to ever play the game at Akron. He really deserves this. I wonder how much, though, is because of J-Wood? Either way, J-Wood and C-Note hooking back up again in Europe. Good luck Ced!

I'm going to do it next year for my junior year. I can't wait to get into Akron and get my Zips card. People who do it save a TON of money.

Post-secondary? Great program. As for the Zips basketball team, I'm liking the way Dambrot is recruiting. Sounds like size and athleticism is a heavy goal.

Psh... If Michigan State won't give him his second chance, Akron will.

Very solid player. His speed seems to lack that burst, but his size can make up for it. Some people are really fast, but small, so they're easier to take down. This guy has decent speed, but is big, which is going to make it tough to take him down. Well done Zips recruiting.

Psh... Last time the game was at "their place", the AK-Rowdies took over the whole one endzone. The Can't kicker missed the game losing FG at the Rowdies' end. Dix Stadium is NOT a home field advantage anymore.

I just have one thing to say... IT'S GO TIME!

Before last year, I really didn't care for soccer. Zips soccer or not. I mean I'd go to the games just because I'm a good fan, but it used to be boring. Last year was the best soccer I have EVER seen. I'm really into Zips soccer, and am starting to get into world soccer, too. Personally, I LOVE being hated on by these ACC schools and their fans. It's a sign of respect. Haha and Justin, if our other sports teams had that kind of success, we'd be a BCS school and have to get a new bandwagon. As for the SU game or the soccer games, I would choose soccer. But since my grandpa is a Syracuse alum, I have to go to the Syracuse game. My birthday is Sept. 1st though. Would love to get a b-day present... or 2.

To be honest, I think it's possible. Now the likely hood of it happening isn't the best, but I guess we'll see. I think the Zips are going to be fine this year.
