MAC Championship—Rockets vs Zips @ Ford Field
ZippyforPresident replied to LZIp's topic in Akron Zips Football
Nice! They must be excited about getting to see Akron win the MAC championship in person. -
Photography [Golden Flashes @ Zips]
ZippyforPresident replied to Dr Z's topic in Akron Zips Football
Just awesome! Your photos really take the content of this site to the next level. Thanks Dr Z! -
The last time Akron football had a game this meaningful, I had no clue how special it was to witness Akron Blue and Gold at Ford Field. I'll be there on Tuesday, good weather or bad. It is time for the nation to stand together and unite. This Tuesday is everything. Do or Die!

UT Arlington section @ BYU chanting "we want Akron" at the end of their game. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. I desperately want to hang an NIT Champions banner from the rafters at the JAR. Stoked on our win, lets keep it going! We are every bit as good of a team as the other 15 left. We just have to want it more.

Miami @ Zips, 2/28/17- Senior Night
ZippyforPresident replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
This is what Akron pride looks like? You should be disappointed kids. No reason for that. Ever. That was worthless. I love you with the entirety of my heart, but that effort was less than worthless. -
That's awful. I hope it returns soon. I always enjoyed reading The Buchtelite when I was in school.

The Dam is Cracked: future of American uniforms
ZippyforPresident replied to Blue & Gold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Although it is true that Adam Silver has made that claim, there doesn't appear to be any empirical data to back it up. Why The NBA's Claim That Teams Are Losing Money Doesn't Add Up What I personally find shocking is the amount of government money that is allocated to many of these franchises. - From the article: "Memphis, Cleveland, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City and Charlotte had 100 percent of their arena costs picked up by taxpayers." If franchises want to rent advertising space on players' uniforms so be it. It is their right to do so. However, that doesn't mean that it doesn't smack of tackiness. It would certainly be a better option than wasting government money. Unfortunately, I'm sure franchise owners will attempt to have their cake and eat it too. -
G5 Considering Their Own Playoffs?

I think Western Michigan's football program would disagree with your statement. -

Most random reference to Akron
ZippyforPresident replied to ZachTheZip's topic in Off Topic, Smack & Jokes
Not exactly a random reference to Akron, but a new show highlighting our fair city on Western Reserve PBS: Akron, Ohio shines on new PBS TV show: "Around Akron with Blue Green" October 3rd @ 9pm -

Forget Soul Asylum, the Bizarros are playing this?!?! I will definitely be there! For those of you that are unaware, Akron was once, for a brief moment, the epicenter of the modern music world in the late 70's and early 80's, spawning artists, musicians, and bands like Devo, The Waitresses, Chrissy Hynde, The Bizarros, Tin Huey, The Rubber City Rebels, Hammer Damage, Unit 5, Jane Aire and the Belvederes, Rachel Sweet, and even dating all the way back to Ruby and the Romantics from the 1960's. Also, if you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo is currently displaying his Myopia exhibit until the end of August at The Akron Art Museum and it is definitely worth checking out. There is also a secondary component of it at the museum of contemporary art. I've been to both and they are awesome. Even if you're not into Devo, his art is very innovative and thought provoking. Excellent documentary about Akron's contribution to music that was on PBS a few years back: It's Everything, And Then It's Gone

COURAGE AWARD - Basketball Banquet
ZippyforPresident replied to Donna Dambrot's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Ms. Kannal, who I believe is the young lady being referred to, was featured in an article in the Beacon Journal published during this year's MAC tournament. Coaches and Players Drawn to MAC Tournament's Biggest Fan It appears that her positivity and natural ability to make sincere connections and friendships helps to brighten the lives of many . She seems like a really cool person as well as an awesome and dedicated basketball fan. Congratulations on the award Ashley! -
The MAC and MAAC should work on putting together a "MAAAC" challenge, like the Big 12/SEC challenge. The winner would get to claim the "mac" moniker for the season.

I'm extremely happy for this team. If ever there was a group of seniors that deserved a bowl win, it's this group. They brought Akron football back from nothing and made school history. Cherish this. Be proud today, I certainly am.

Interesting that Utah State's Kyler Fackrell and Akron's Jamal Marcus were named as the two best edge rushers. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact each one has on our matchup in Boise.

Unfortunately it has become increasingly apparent that the ABJ has been slowly and steadily degenerating into self defeating irrelevancy since it changed publishing companies in 2006 from the Akron founded publishing company Knight-Ridder to a Canadian publishing company called Black Press. It is really sad to see because it was once a quality publication consisting of journalistic integrity and some modicum of civic pride. But on a positive note, the free bi-monthly arts, culture, and music publication, The Devil Strip, does a good job of showcasing the emerging vibrancy of downtown Akron and a lot of really cool events going on in the city as well as the surrounding metro area.Anyway, to get back on topic... The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is a really big deal. It has been TEN YEARS. I am EXTREMELY excited about this game!! I am also very optimistic and excited about the future of Akron Football!! I think Utah State is better than their record indicates and will be a tough out, but it should be a very good game. I think this one will come down to the secondary's ability to limit the Aggies' passing attack, our ability to run the ball effectively and our ability to connect on some of those deep throws. Also, since it's in Boise, I hope Cody Grice scores the game winner on a statue of liberty play at the goal line.

Coach D said in the postgame that Pat may have a broken rib. He said that Jake came out of the game because of a rapid heart rate.
