FearTheRoo

Guess it shows you that Toledo really was playing above their means. We sucked it up Friday. It really didn't have anything to do with the better team winning. In the end, all is almost right. Akron lives to play another day and Toledo goes home. It's not the NCAA, but they are still playing!

Very well said. I couldn't agree more!!!!This is exactly what I meant in my other post. Why all of a sudden are we coming down on the same coaches and players we were praising? That to me is fair weather and a poor loser.GO ZIPS!FEAR THE ROO!!

Go ask just about anyone to 'splain what a pocket rocket is!!

Oh, and last night was such a huge difference in playing and coaching that it justifies a 180 change in opinion? I guess we'll agree to disagree.

OK, you Toledo Dumb ASS!Remember: The game started at 10AM, so this picture was taken around that time. Notice the 'fogginess' the blizzard created. Can you see the yard lines? Do you see the LIGHTS turned on?Noticed the BLOWING SNOW in the picture of the cars. This would indicate a blizzard!Now I am not wasting anymore time or server space on your ignorance. Go lose your game to Can't and go away.

My favorite was the multiple "Pocket Rocket" chants!!

KingZip,Where have you been with this opinion until now? It sure is easy to pile on after a tough loss! Take a look at a sample of your posts in the recent past. Looks like you didn't hate KD! Looks like you understood the challenges he faced with this team's limitations. It sure seems like you believed in the team!Jan 25 - Akron vs. Ohio:"Recruiting is not the problem, injuries to Akron's best player and a transcript issue with the best freshman recruit have Akron at a big disadvantage in the paint. Coach D said this on the radio following the game last night and it was the gospel. Having Wood and Conyerz in the paint would have made that game a 10 point Akron win."Now read your post about how terrible it was to recruit from St. V and other local talent!Mar. 8 - Tourney preview:"This year, though, is all about No. 1 Can't State (22-8, 15-3) and No. 3 Akron (21-8, 14-4), which glare at each other from opposite sides of the MAC bracket. The twin-division system means the No. 2-seed goes to 12-6 West champ Northern Illinois, but the East was the beast this year. The Golden flushes had the division clinched going into last weekend, but in the regular season finale, the Zips' 75-67 pullaway win over their close-by rivals sent a clear message: "Fear the Roo." "Jan 30. - Where are the remaining five MAC wins going to come from?:"You guys are some negative thinkers.Why would I think that Akron would not sweep it's home games against Buffalo, WMU, BG, Ohio and Can't - that is a total of five wins.Why would I think that Akron would not win at EMU, Miami, and Buffalo? That is another three wins.Akron's bracket buster is TBA, but why would you bet against your own team.Quit thinking like damned losers all of the time and give the boys the credit they deserve. They have lost one MAC game, 17-1 is not out of the question. "I guess you are off the bandwagon now?!

Someone please shoot me between the eyes!I couldn't agree more. All I want to know is where were all of these "Fire KD" posts last week?

Um, that was three years ago. Excellent response above. It is because of people like this that we don't sell out. In any sport these people try to find the negative and ignore the positive. They are the people who will ride the wave and jump on the band wagon when all is well, but they are the first to Bitch to everyoe they know when you lose a game. That keeps those who don't follow the team from trying it out.I woke up this morning and put on my Zips gear before heading out. My wife asked me why I wore that stuff when they lost yesterday. I said, "that is exactly why I am wearing it!" A true fan supports the team even when it is hard and you are pissed. A Fair Weather jumps on when it is good (and easy!), shows up 10 minutes after the start of the game, has to buy a t-shirt since he never purchased one in the past. He then is late getting back to his seat during halftime. You will also see him leave with 1:32 left on the clock regardless of whether we are winning or losing.It is funny how winning cures everything. Many of you could go back to posts you made as early as this week and you will find yourself praising these guys after big wins. I know yesterday hurt, but try to be a bit objective!We are, by KD's own words, one or two players off before being the team he wants. Wood will help a lot next year. We missed him last night. He has always maintainded that our bench is not as deep as he would like. Did KD make coaching mistakes? Sure. Did the players fail to execute the strategy he may have tried to put in place? Probably. There are so many factors to consider here that you can't blame one person.Always a Zip fan, win or lose.

Hey Rowdies,How are we looking for tonight's game? I expect a big showing since it is a Friday night!! :macc:

I hear ya brother. If I am not mistaken, it is the coached who vote for that, so I guess they are pissed at getting beat by Akron this year.

Hey Fear This, looks like you were celebrating the victory pretty hard!! Any plans to sit together? Or do we just get there early and migrate?

No prob.Wish I could get a clean copy, but I am sure that is not possible!!!

I'll take our guards any day over that crew!

Whatever......

Just in case you have not seen the video on ZIPSVision where Zippy bitch-slaps the MAC teams, here is very raw video from the Akron/Can't game!CLICKEY HERE!!

:macc: M O M E N T U M !!!!!!

I will be there (if my plane lands on time!).9:00 PM tip at The Q in Cleveland.FEAR THE FREAKIN' ROO!!!!!! :macc:

cstv.com has it for $6.95 per month. Since I travel a lot I subscribe. Very clear real-time stream.

...because FSN SUCKS! Do they even own one HD camera??!

I believe an ejection due to fighting (or leaving the bench during a fight) is an automatic suspension. The others are not automatic.

First I want an Akron/Can't match-up, but if that can't happen then I want Can't to lay an egg and lose to a team like Buffalo!!! Think of the thrashing they would get!!!!Hey, Chris. If she won't go on Satruday GO WITHOUT HER!!!!!

Toledo 78NIU 77Looks like we have to go through Toledo to get to Saturday. :macc:
