I agree as well. That is part of why I didn't support the Can't Statecks banner.

The tables in the lobby had t-shirts as low as $5.

I don't subscribe to the opinion that they should stay home if wearing other school gear. I agree. If they are there to cheer then that is great. BUT, I cannot pass up the opportunity to TEACH. The response I got each time I confronted someone last night was typically that they didn't even realize/think about it. I understand this! I didn't have a tone of voice as to be condescending. I simply pointed out that hey, you are in our house. Next time, think a little before you come.

Great observations and comments guys. Awesome to see Frye and Getsy jerseys at the game!

flushes fall to rival Akron in showdownfrom The Can't StaterDeanna StevensPosted: 1/18/07Turnovers, an offensive meltdown and a floater by Akron junior guard Nick Dials to awaken the Zip offense were all factors in Can't State men's basketball team's downfall.After leading most of the game, the flushes (9-8, 2-2 Mid-American Conference) were unable to withstand the Zips' comeback in the 78-68 loss at James A. Rhodes Arena."From the eight-minute mark on, they stayed solid to what they did, and we didn't," Can't State coach Jim Christian said. "You gotta make winning plays to beat good teams, and we didn't make them tonight."Dials (9 points), a junior guard, gave the Zips (12-4, 3-1 MAC) the lead with 9:05 remaining, and the Zips didn't look back.On the flushes' possession after Dials' shot, sophomore forward Julian Sullinger was called on an offensive foul that gave the ball back to the Zips, propelling them forward as their home crowd roared."You could feel the crowd getting into it more and more; the Akron players started out-playing us, out-working us," Sullinger said. Sullinger had 15 points and six rebounds on the night.But Christian didn't blame the atmosphere."This is a great environment," he said. "But I don't know if it was the environment (that hurt us). It was poor decisions on the floor."Akron coach Keith Dambrot said Akron's experience helped them."We probably have some older guys than they have," Dambrot said. "When the game went on the line, I think our guys just reacted a little bit better."While the shot by Dials was a momentum turner, it was the career game by junior guard Cedrick Middleton that really hurt the flushes. Middleton had 25 points, and shot 6-of-9 from 3-point range.Akron senior forward Romeo Travis finished with 16 points and a team-high eight rebounds.While Travis dominated the post, guards for the flushes and the Zips took over from the perimeter. Senior guard Armon Gates led the flushes with 21 points, he shot 5-of-11 from behind the arch. Akron senior guard Dru Joyce had 18 points, 10 of which came from the free-throw line.Akron shot 34 free throws to Can't State's six, outscoring them by 20 points from behind the stripe.Contact men's basketball reporter Deanna Stevens at dsteven3@Can't.edu.

...is the number of people I approached last night at the JAR wearing OSU gear. Each time I said, "make sure you stop by the Zips team shop to get some Akron gear. Please don't wear buckeyes gear into our house. It's disrespectful."

Just thought those that were not at the game could use this as reference:

RowdyZip: Yes, it was HairPlug Mansgm: I had a problem with the chant too. Look, I'm not saying it was terrible and the Rowdies should be disbanded, I just thought there were plenty of other things that could be chanted with the same affect without pulling that card. Just my opinion!

That's exactly why. It is as childish as when an elementary school child does it. We are a University of Adults. It was classless IMO. However, gutsy and ballsy and I want to see more, but don't cross the line.

Great game tonight. Zips made me nervous because I never felt they got in sync the entire night. But they played tough and made things happen down the stretch. Many of you may know that I tend to be the voice of reason when folks start to spout off about the refereeing. And before I make my next comment, even I can have a difficult time being objective at a Zips game. That being said, I have to make the following comment: overall, the officiating was good, but I had many problems with the calls made by the shorter ref of the three. I have seen him work a few games before and have had some problems with his calls before. I wasn't too excited when I saw him arrive on the court during pregame. I had a great seat tonight (2nd row behind Dambrot's chair), but the ref will usually have the best angle on a play. Still I was not overly thrilled with 1/3 of this crew tonight.

Isn't Dreamweaver the best??!! That is a classic!!! Nice job!!!While we are on the topic of Can't State "satire", we took a different "over-the-top" approach to tonight's match-up. Turn up your speakers and Click Here to see the special f-l-a-s-h intro we created. It will only be up until late tonight after the game.

1350AM's site claims that they broadcast over the Internet. You should check their site or email them to see if they broadcast the show. Let us know!

That URL does not exist. And man is this an old thread!! Any new news on this topic yet?!

Well, there is always this.Plus, much of what you described would be the job of the Athletic Department's PR director. However, I am not sure that that particular office is filled at the moment.

would that be roasted BBQ flush wings????

Because 650 AM is much better run than the "glorified-college-hippie-station" that 1350 AM is!

OT in Can't

He probably subscribes to ESPN In.

I actually sympathize. Usually the audio is broadcast over two phone lines (for stereo). They must be having some problems on site. Most likely POS phone lines in that POS old building!

Great. They're still using dial up and not broadband!!!!

The duct tape must have broken!

technical probs must be bad. They went to "programming already in progress".
