leave it up to sgm405 to give OSU a dripping wet facial everytime someone mentions the possibility that OSU isn't the greatest place in the world.for your information:1) it wasn't a cheap shot at OSU, it was a tongue-in-cheek observation that despite the poor reputation it builds and has built for it's fans, Columbus burns everytime OSU wins a big game, a tune up game, an inner-squad scrimmage. Hell couches burn because its a tuesday. 2) Everyone knows you love OSU. I'm not knocking you for that. I'm a fan of the Wichita State Wheat Shockers. No one says you can only like one school. But DAMN. do you just sit in a bean bag chair naked, reading Zipsnation, waiting for someone to mention OSU so you can spring into action. Claiming everyone hates OSU and are hypocrites. 3) Everyone knows shit used to burn on May Day. Notice it doesn't happen any more. OSU fans still burn shit. As long as they do, stories will be written about it. People will continue to laugh at the stupidity of the fans. 4) Answering everyone's posts, and countering everyone with a long winded post devided into a number list, is gay.

oh man, i remember May Day. its probably for the best that cars aren't being burned any more. i mean where would the homeless people break into and sleep?

It seems that we have it all wrong. We won a HUGE game on saturday, and here it is Sunday and Akron still stands. I mean look at what OSU does after a big win. http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/5953178I guess we just have to win a few more big games before we start burning things.

Lets not forget another very important moment from today:Army 17, Can't State 14 (OT)watching parts of that game while Akron won, Can't looked AWFUL. this line sums it up."The Golden flushes twice threatened inside the Army 20 in the second half but could not score"http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId...20349&confId=15

Blah blah blah. look at us. we are in the same state as UNC and Duke. that means we should win a game against a stupid little MAC team by devine right. blah blah blah.

Same here. The first call I got was from a buddy who goes to OSU. He's interning out Seattle. He said that there was a bunch of people rooting for Akron to win at the bar he was at.

funny. i don't recall "hating on" the soccer team by stating that people in cleats tend to tear up grass.

lets see. 20+ people run around in cleats for an entire game. gee i wonder why the grass is torn up.

"Nick’s Pick: NC State 28 – Akron 17"What a joke. NCST sucks hard.

Much to Phil Steele's dismay, this just in.Can't State has mathmatically been eliminated from the MAC East race. When reached for comment, all Coach Martin could say was "please ... someone shoot me. please"

You have to be kiding me. ONE DAMN GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED. ONE. not 30. not even 2. ONE. all you shit asses need to calm down. we lost by 1. we should have won that game by 3. but we didn't so quit bitching. its a new system and a new coach.

GO ZIPS!!2008 D IAA National Champions!

They hire someone who has no ties with K ent. so they hire a guy who has been with two mac teams. K ent can't even hire an idiot to fix their poor excuse of a football team with out messing up what they wanted.It ought to be great when in 2 years K ent is out of D1 due to poor attendence.

AHH, thank god. Under the Zips news section:"Buckeyes suspend tight end for year"Yep ... this site is not off to a good start.

I say we try to win as many of these prize wheels as possible. The steel wheel, the wagon wheel. The cheese wheel. We keep winning these and we might be able to build some sort of device that is capable of transporting people from one place to another, utilizing wheels. Perhaps a horseless carriage of sorts. I believe people from Can't call them oppressive, hate mongering devices, hell bent on rounding up hippies and ruining their "buzz".

I had some idiot refer to the U of A as "Akron college". needless to say i wrapped a folding chair around his face. anyone else get "Akron college" thats ever worse than Akron U.

" 6. Toledo: Based on schedule and head coaching alone, the Rockets should be a BCS factor in an otherwise watered-down MAC."Who is the defending champions? I think its some team from A ... Ack-run? is that how you pronounce it? I don't know.

If student support starts to slip and the zips start to lose. I blame the Roo Zoo. I don't care if it had nothing to do with it. Congrats to the AD for using all of 3 brain cells in coming up with roo zoo. whats next? maybe they will name the locker room the Hip Zip Pit.

Seems like that shit colored cloud, of browns awful injury luck, is floating south to Akron. If all the Browns luck heads this way, hopefully Can't State will retire as a program.

im sure that at some point this season the student section behind the visiting team is going to lead to an ugly ugly situation. Maybe not Ron Artest style bad, but who knows. And once that happens, wave goodbye to zips games being remotely entertaining. The Akron PD will have the student section locked down like a Gestapo boot camp.

putting the students behind the other teams bench is the WORST idea ever.

just about everyone he played with in HS was goign to Akron. Even KD was here. He would have played at Akron. Just to show people "look, i can take a school from the MAC and make it a national power for a year. I am that good. NOW GIVE ME MONEY OR I'LL GO CLARETT ON YOU."The media would have loved for him to go to Duke. Why would they want to travel to Akron in the dead of winter to cover a "mid-major"? The only people who want to do that are TRUE FANS.

Nah, Joe would probably hitch a ride with someone so they would pay the parking. He would be complaining all day and all night about "them horseless buggies" and about how teams don't run the split option any more. And whats this I hear about the "forward pass"? It will ruin the game.

Akron was one step away from a national title in basketball. If the NBA would have had its age rule 3 years ago, then LBJ would have been a Zip. Do you really think anyone in the MAC could stop him? Heck ESPN even did a mock season where guys had to stay in college for four years. They had Akron running away with a national title. (granted they had LBJ scoring a ridiculous 60-70 points a game) Point being, who is to say that another amazing talent won't come out of Akron. and with the NBA's new rules, at least we could have them for one season. This could happen for any MAC team too. Like if a couple of hippies somehow found a way to make a super kid using weed, K ent might go all the way. (doubtful though. they would find someway to botch it up. Like hiring Nate Gerwig as the strength and conditioning coach.)

I couldn't care less about who OSU plays or loses to. They could lose to a team of retarded clowns and It wouldn't mean a thing. I worry about the Zips. There are lots of OSUs, but only one AKR.
