Blue & Gold

Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago.

I agree. Ianello has taken this program backward. We're no longer even the least bit competitive.

Actually, I'm sure we're all glad this was written. Hopefully the ABJ can help put enough pressure on Dr. P that he won't be able to bury his head in the sand, concerning this football program, any longer. Marla Ridenour for the ABJ. I appreciate this quote, in particular: "Akron, meanwhile, is grasping at straws with little hope for optimism under coach Rob Ianello." Marla, thank you!

I was watching on tv and the game definitely did not have a "rivalry" vibe about it.

Now nothing. I've refreshed it almost 100 times and nothing. What an unfulfilling day of UA athletics. Fortunately, I'm not surprised!

+1. I suppose in one sense it's strangely liberating. But that's probably just a defense mechanism. I miss caring. I want to care!

Thanks!

I've just lost the feed. It says, idk, something is unavailable, or something. Anyone else having the same issue? [edit] it reads: "[server. Reject]: Virtual host is not available."

What can you do? I don't know. I only brought one group to one game this year. Next year I'm not bringing any. I'm not going to renew my season tickets. That's about all I can do to make my displeasure known to the administration. I wasn't at the game today, but even when I am I don't "boo." I wouldn't ever want the players to misconstrue a "Boooo!" as being directed toward them when in reality it would be absolutely intended for the coaching staff. I watched this week's abomination on SportsTime Ohio while doing some chores around the house & reading a book. I hardly care about our football program anymore. It used to be a daily passion of mine - from recruiting, to spring ball, to the regular season. Now? Whatever.

I absolutely love college football, but I'm so demoralized over our program I hardly care anymore. I don't believe I've made a football-related post since the week before the Central Michigan game. I stayed home & watched the Can't game on t.v. We lost again. I don't think I even care. I haven't felt like this since I started religiously following the Zippers about 20 years ago.

Should be right here. From GoZips.com.

I've also watched it three times. Fellow dorks, unite!

I thought Holmes was supposed to provide that additional option. He was supposed to be a scoring machine. What's happened to him?

Zeke is like the college version of Tyson Chandler? Yeah, now that he mentions it, I can see where he gets that. Pretty good comparison.

Dick Vitale was watching last night. Or at least he gets LeBron's tweets. He tweeted back to LeBron after the game, and got a knock in on the fact we aren't going to MSG: "Akron 68 - Miss St 58 - let the fun begin - yet Miss St will go to Madison Sq Garden- not a tourney."

King James blowing us up to his roughly 3 MILLION followers on twitter:"Watching Akron vs Miss St on ESPNU. Let's go Zips!""Wanna thank the play by play guys doing the Akron/Miss St game on ESPNU for the compliments! I really appreciate it. U guys are awesome!!""Let's go ZIPS!! Keep pushing. I like it, keep going""Pause by the way!!" (I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.)"YES SIR!!!!!!! Huge win by Akron U tonight on the road in the SEC!! Congrats Coach D, Rico, Q, Zeke, Serb, Nick, Brett, Walsh, and the rest of the guys #ZIPS"

ESPN highlights.

I might be missing it (I hope I'm missing it!) but I don't see a story about last night's victory on the Akron Beacon Journal's website!

Great find!

Good call. I don't watch much SportsCenter anymore, but I'll have to be sure to check it out tomorrow a.m.

And let's not forget Deji Ibitayo didn't even play tonight.(We should redshirt Deji; we already have too many athletes to get minutes, i.e. Gilliam)

It was kind of a downer seeing this headline scroll along the bottom of the screen all night during the Zips b-ball game on ESPNU.

GP1 going BIG!

The spread may have been wrong, but the result the same.Handwringers, don't worry about the Zips. They are in late season form and getting better because of the summer activity.You were right about the early season cohesiveness! I thought it'd take them half-a-season to get the whole chemistry thing going. I'm thrilled to say I was WRONG!!! Top 25, here we come!

He's got that old Rip Hamilton type of mid-range game.
