Somebody get the man a live chicken and some rum. Joe bu needs some love right about now.

Akron's free throw shooting and lack of rebounding ... hell just basic fundamentals is enough to make me want to watch a highlight reel from the last 4 women's basketball seasons (congrats on hitting the .500 mark ladies. Jodi Kest for president)

And yes I know I spelled TRANSFER wrong. Let this be a lesson. Whiskey + breaking football news posting = misspelled words.

Today Toledo shocked the Ohio Penal League by bringing in none other than the Grey Goose Guzzler himself, Maurice Clarett. This looks to shift power away from perennial league power, the Columbus Correctional Facility Fighting Jumpsuits, and gives the Toledo Correctional Facility Pocket Shiv Rockets the inside track to the top seed in this years playoffs.When reached for comment, the Pocket Shiv Rockets head coach, Warden Samuel Norton, said "With out a doubt this is the biggest pick up of my career. I tried to get Paul Crewe a few years back, but we failed to win the posting. I am very pleased that our football team got a lot better today. Maurice gives us a whole new dimension that the other teams are going to have to worry about now."With Clarett now in a toledo blue and yellow jumpsuit, Columbus is looking to swing a deal with Cincinnati's correctional facility to see what it would take to get a few of the Bengals.

hmm, YSU against Akron. would that be the battle of which teams mascot kids think is the cuddliest? That damn happy feet movie has zippy at a disadvantage. Perhaps Zippy should just instill fear in kids by eating one of them.

can we schedule Can't twice so we can make up for this years loss?

Don't apologize on my behalf. Jesus Christ. Sorry If I don't like having the AD try and control everything. I never said I wanted to be a drunk cussing SOB. I just don't want some suit telling me what I can and can not do. It's obvious you think I'd just show up at a game, shit ass plastered, spitting in kids faces, calling them fucktards. Oh tell hell with it. I'm done debating this shit here. Maybe I'll just go off and start my own zips web site so I can do what ever I want with out having to worry about Zips Nation people complain ... oh wait, someone already tried that.

First off. I am not a member of the AK-Rowdies. I'm not going to sign shit so I can go to a basketball game. I have been going to Akron far to long to start getting bitch slapped around by the AD. I'll say what I want, when I want, while wearing what I want. When the rowdies started, i was a huge fan of it. Akron lacked a legit student section for far too long. Now, just like everything else these days, the higher ups feel the need to control everything. It is obvious the U can't market worth a shit, they should just leave the student section to the students. Having to have stuff approved is retarded. Pretty soon you'll have to ask a suit to take a piss. With all the convicts in the dorms and the suits need for control, Akron might as well just come out and say that their whole method is based off of what they saw in the movie the Shawshank Redemption. Why don't they take their fascist ways to the rubber bowl? No swearing? No showing up drunk? there wouldn't be a damn person in the "student section". So, somewhere in between Disney and Rated-R. I don't know if anyone there has seen a movie in the last ... oh 30 years, but a movie doesn't have to be rated R to have profanity in it. Its not just the swearing. Where is the line drawn? "Oh don't say someone sucks. thats not PC." kiss my ass. You don't come into the RA talking that smack, you'll get your ass kicked. Teams should know they are in for a fight when they come here. Pretty soon we will wind up like that HS in Wisconsin that kicks students out of games for chanting air ball. In true Akron form, we will never be anything special because the people running things are dumb asses. I could go off for 2 hours about how shitty things are. They are better than they used to be, but things should be a TON better then they are. Someone get me a flux capacitor. I'm going to create an alternate 2006 where things aren't retarded.

Ugh, sounds like the administration is at it again. WAH, no one drink, WAHWAH, no one cuss, WAHWAH, wear your shirt, WAHWAH, the band stays, WAHThis new athletic department sucks ass.and what the hell is the legal problem with swearing? If i want to call some one an asshole and tell them to eat shit and die, well the ol' first amendment lets me do that. Course this wouldn't be the first time the U of A thinks it is above the law. (Charles Plinton anyone?)Starting our own group in the GA section is brilliant. We'll be the real student section. Not the AD's puppet section. Freaking nazis. I bet this picture is hanging in their offices.

unfortunate, but necessary? that has to be the stupidest thing i have ever heard. This isn't communist Russia, this a student section that needs to be filled regardless of what freaking shirt you are wearing. I understand you want unity, but come on. As long as they are a student, they should be able to sit in the student section. Maybe you should have a meeting with your "officers" and the rest of the rowdies and find out why they aren't at the games. Maybe you should also discuss setting aside the rowdies fascist views and start getting the damn section filled with whom ever shows up. I sure hope this post is allowed in this thread. I'm not wearing my zipsnation shirt.

There will always be assholes who let their "power" go to their heads. Its not very surprising that they would rather see a half empty student section then allow people in and not get the opportunity to flex their "get out of my section" muscle. Regardless of their damn shirt, people should be allowed to sit where ever they want. I see that the mini band is taking seats up down their now. Terrific. I swear, it is like the idiots who run things at Akron get off to pissing people off. USE YOUR GOD DAMN HEAD. "oh i wonder why people don't show up" hmm, maybe its because the student section is stuck behind a f_cking light pole in the corner of the endzone on the away side. Maybe its because suddenly everyone has to be wearing matching shirts and goose stepping around to sit in the "student" section at the basketball game. Maybe it is because the band now takes seats down there. For shit sake, it is a gym, they could be sitting in the rafters and people will hear them. Taking prime seats is retarded. Speaking of retarded, what the hell gives with "you can't sit here with out our shirt". Its more important to get asses in the seats then it is to be an elitist asshole. I don't know if you know this or not, but we are not Duke. We will never be Duke. There will never be a "JAR Crazies" type of atmosphere. Kick the damn band out, get people in those seats who want to go nuts. I don't give a shit if they show up wearing a dress. Someone going nuts it better than an empty seat.

Akron would put a 50 spot on any 1-AA if the game was important. A regular season game, probably 31-17 ish. But if it were in a playoff game or something, App would have been killed. Especially now that Statue Getsy isn't back there any more.

Akron 201, WS 78wait, we aren't playing a DIII school? could have fooled me.

for some reason i think a zombie could rally more support than the U of A could at this point.

these ratings don't mean squat. I mean Can't lost to Cleveland State yet they are 7 slots ahead of us. It basically comes down to if we beat Nevada then we dance. simple as that.off the subject, watching NBA tonight, Carlos Boozer has the biggest damn eyebrows ever. like a freaking sasquatch.

oh crap, everyone is going to be high. at least two people a game will be robbed and once a season a murder will take place.they ought to name it after that place where you donate plasma. it seems to be the most popular place in town.

Oh man, a Zips win. What a day! Reality slaps USC (and by association, Mark May) in the face and Akron beats a really good team in Oral Roberts. Could the Browns possibly win tomorrow to complete the greatest weekend ever? Eh, probably not, thats way too much to ask for. Oh well. 4-1. This is going to be a magical season.

I swear, if in 2 or 3 years I hear "well, we can't build a new stadium on campus because the tax payers said they already funded one stadium up the road, so we are just going to continue to replace the bleachers at the rubber bowl with wood planks bought from a Home Depot. The rubber bowl will last another 20 years. Don't worry"I am going to burn down the Wolstein soccer stadium myself. We had the number one soccer team in the nation last year, we didn't need a 20,000 seat mecca. Some shit-ass expansion soccer team sure as hell isn't going to need it. Screw them, and screw Wolstein.

I bet Frank the tank is still drunkenly driving around Athens, wondering what happened.

Watching that highlight reel of last years MACC ... oof. It made this season that much harder to take.

You can thank Hunter for that. The guy who took over for the Wad seems to be lacking in everything from a general understanding of Akron, to what it takes to not piss off students. Oh the dark ages are right around the corner again.

Bubba is a bitch. end of story. doesn't like the school. you liked it plenty when you were here. oh well. maybe after another average season filled with dumb turnovers and two losses to the Zips, Bubba will be illegally recruited off of OU's bench and go to Can't.

Captain, saw you had the binoculars out. wouldn't the damage to your eyes caused by watching magnified crappy zips football be about the same as staring at the sun for two hours through a telescope? Now how are you supposed to watch (f)Luke Getsy towel off footballs for the referee crews in the CFL?

can the Rowdies PLEASE do away with the god awful "everywhere we go, people want to know, who we are, so we tell them. we are the zips" chant? That has to be the worst chant in history. A ) it is too damn longB ) anything that has been used in a kellog's commercial for the little league world series has no business being in the arsenal of a up and coming D-1 school.C ) did i mention it was too damn long?D ) that chant doesn't fire anyone up. If anything it puts people to sleep.E ) oh yeah, ITS TOO DAMN LONG.

It was Chris Palmer's players who took Butch Davis' Browns to the Playoffs.just saying.
