The RB had better be bursting with excitment when NT rolls into town. First time seeing our zips in action at home since last years historic season.GO ZIPS.

For years we would have been on that list just because they like to show the worst teams. IE Can't.Penn State, after the year they had and Joe Pa and everything would have been a perfect example for a great team. A couple years ago we would have made that list. Now a just not being on the list says we are a better team an not looked at like an automatic win. Will be beat Penn State? HELL YES WE WILL (ok maybe not, but we aren't going to roll over and die like Can't does everytime the other team comes through the tunnel.)THUS, ESPN has given us unsaid respect by NOT putting us on the list.

Tip 1: Stick with a lite beer. It's easier to drink 12-15 of them before a game rather than trying to chew down 12-15 Guinesses.Tip 2: Bring lots of people and buy a keg as it's cheaper in the long run.Tip 3: Bring lots of girls with loose morals. It makes the after game party more fun. I'm pretty sure chewing through 12-15 Guinesses might kill someone. Though if you have to go, thats a respectable way to do it.Aren't the open container laws still in effect?

Ugh, that site is so cluttered and poorly designed. Remember kids, center the content. Left aligned html is for Can't graduates.

The Zips must be gaining some national respect. In ESPN's whats hot and not in college football team, one of the nots was good schools playing crap schools. Nowhere to be seen was Penn State playing Akron. What a change in times. two years ago, that game would have been at the top of the list. And much to Phil Steele's dismay, Those mighty mighty Golden flushes of Can't State were an example of a Jobber team. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/preview06/co...mark&id=2540583

Football isn't cocaine. You don't give it away to get people hooked then start charging them up the ass for it. I never saw the Wad at a elementry school playground wearing a trench coat handing out zips tickets. (though i suppose that wouldn't be a bad idea) If the Acme Zips game was a give away for as long as it was, people expect it to be that way. Charging for it is going to kill most people going. Its just the way it works.Prices for the games are fine the way they are. The admin. has been more than generous in giving tickets to students. The better we get, the more tickets should cost. selling 10,000 tickets at .50 cents a pop isn't going to finance anything. The only prices that need to come down are the consession stand prices. Those 19 dollar hotdogs are the worst value this side of Can't season tickets.

has anyone stopped to think that the 525 was just another typo?

South Carolina won the NIT. They beat Michigan. Who beat Miami, FL. Who beat Creighton, who beat us.

Captin Kangaroo was talking about how he sees GAY-S U billboards all over the place, and no fear the roo.This is Can't's next ad, as it was leaked to the public.

I must say Northern Texas fans have already out classed the likes of K ent and Ohio's typical goon squads. Bravo NT. Bravo.

Jesus leads the league in conversions

again, Canal Park will never happen. Too much would have to happen.

It will never happen. It would cost more to rebuild Canal Park to be able to shift seating and fields than it would to build a new football stadium. Besides, the people who own and run the Aeros would never go for it. Even if the math behind tearing up a baseball field and repositioning the outfield walls, scoreboard, bullpen, seating, was sound, they are too cheap. They don't even pay their interns. Asking to play football games in their field would be like asking to punch their children in the face. Actually i bet punching the kids would have a better shot of happening. Perhaps we should just start taking pride in that pile of crap Rubber Bowl. I mean sure it sucks, and at any moment could colapse in on itself but its still ours. It will always be better than Dix stadium. I mean imagine if K ent played in the rubber bowl. It would implode just to save itself the embarrassment of having the worst team in the country playing in it. Hopefully a new stadium is built before Akron cycles back into its doormat like state.

It would be easier, but far less gratifying. Besides, I think it is considered a mercy killing. Going to K ent is like being hooked on cocaine. It will kill you eventually. But I suppose the coke head will at least have his/her pride.

Careful, I hear Cincinnati is looking to acquire your UA blankets.

the women could win a national title and they will still bring in less money than the AD would get by selling plasma twice a month.

you forgot a goal:Wail on K ent to the tune of a 56 point win.

If the form was done by one of the design interns the university hires, the crap they produce sounds about right. There are a sh*t ton of great designers over at folk, yet the U gives the jobs to the sh*tty ones who suck the most a$$. I suggest lodging a complaint with the sports marketing department. Maybe if enough of the paying customers raise the issue the university will try to raise its attention to detail above that of a 4th grader. I'm surprised that they havn't used the phrase "Akron U" in any of their forms. Maybe they are saving that for the bowl game vouchers, when we walk away with the MAC title again this year.

Its pretty crowded with stuff. It would have been nice if they would have spread it out some and not tried cramming everything into a 500 PX wide frame. go the full 1024, or at least 800 x 600

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Akron to burn to the ground when JD leaves. You know its only a matter of time. If not after this season, then after next. My guess is once the first car is flipped and burned, Akron will riot all the way to the rubber bowl, at which point the stadium collapses on its own. Don Plusquellic will then declare that day to be "The darkest day in Akron history". Every year from there on, school will be cancelled on that day, for a day of mourning and reflection. Charlie Frye will use Microsoft paint to change his diploma to say "K ent State". The whole university will be torn down and a new ITT Tech building will be built in its spot. everything will be gone, sans a golden statue of Brookhart, depicted coaching a game and curing cancer. Anyone who even mentions the initials JD in Akron will be arrested and shackled in the center of the city for all to throw stuff at. Life as we know it will come to an end.

i suppose that Akron should be flattered that a BCS school (even through it is a human wasteland like cincinnati) believes that they are so inferior to us that they need to steal everything from us. Whatever. Let cincinnati have our left overs.

well asshole, my problem is he makes 300,000 a year. instead of just shoving more money his way, why not use that money to create scholarships and other ventures that help reduce the cost for students. If most students didn't have to work a shit ton to afford to go to school, they would get more out of it. Learning is a lot easier when you aren't dead tired. and what is this "raise fees from time to time" shit. It is every damn year. EVERY YEAR. It is going to get to the point where you have to be rich to go to college or it won't be worth it. Nothing like starting off a post school life so far in debt that you're only motivation for working is to keep paying it off. You can go back to sucking LP off now.

OH THANK GOD. I was worried that LP wasn't getting enough money. Now hopefuly he will raise tuition again. I LOVE paying a whole bunch for shit I never use. Christ, this campus and every other campus is run like this country is. Whats that? Gas prices and everything else are breaking you? Well piss off junior, they are going to get higher. Now if you need me, i'll be getting a big raise. Hey LP ... FU.

So, we can't beat Ohio, but K ent can? All of these season "previews" are such garabge. Just wait till after the season is over, and you will see another bowl bound akron team, holding a win over Penn State and a 370 point victory over Krap State.

thats an interesting idea. imagine just 20 or so people decked out in Zips gear, hating what ever toolshed team he is playing at the time. Welcome to Akron. If you aren't with us, we hate you.
