this is bittersweet...good for the mac....but i keep racking my brain as to what is the difference between VCU...OU & Akron....other than those schools have exp tourney success....
is it talent? coaching? luck?
i think akron is talented enough...coaching is solid....WHAT? WHAT?
dammit i want that to be us sooo bad
when will it be our turn....every year teams like norfolk st garner national attention thru a tourney win and the best we can do is a 38-35 halftime lead v gonzaga....
when will akron get the chance to be that school
my gosh the dearth of apologists on this board is outrageous.....this team, this program will never rise above what they currently are until they win games like these....this backslapping about 'playing them better than mich st did" is laughable...
WIN THE GD GAME
that was two years ago...irrelevant to me, but apparently not to others...nothing that happened two yrs ago bears any relevance to today...in my opinion
makes sense given this pic.....however....

i seem to recall Can't getting similar press in 2008....we barely get a sniff....best comment i recall was our 38-35 halftime lead v gonzaga in 2009 got a voice influction of surprise from greg gumbel....
it makes me ill that the elitist pricks in the ncaa will consider a seton hall team that's 8-10 and potentially the 10th team from the big least rather than sniff akron....sickening
YOUR QUESTION or COMMENT
just an fyi...the video feed for the basketball games has been crap all year. very choppy, stop & start feed....very irritating...last night vs buffalo was unwatchable...zipsnation has a thread on it...c'mon...akron is better than that
Michael:
Thanks for the note and for drawing my attention to this matter. I have not heard near as many complaints this year as last, so I assumed it was better. I’ve copied our media staff on this note so they can look into it.
We appreciate your support.
Go Zips!

I've seen several inbound plays thru the years after a time out that ended in an easy basket for akron....just sayin'
your 'circus' remark could be lack of player execution..no?
what class are they, i've seen junior, soph, freshmen...bascially, how many yrs eligibilty do each have?
thnx in advance
also, is akron the only MAC team to NOT win an a NCAA tourney game?
Linardi's mind set is representative of most of the big boy conferences. the selection goons will take .500 team from oh say the ACC before a second MAC team regardless of record
hell the nit took a a 13-13, 7-9 georgia tech team over a 26-7 akron team a few yrs ago
i thought that when geo mason, butler x2 & vcu made the final 4 it would help change the mind set, but it remains the aristocrasy & the peasants
am stations are required to power down in the evening for some reason....been that way for decades
greg brinda tells it like it is and doesn't coddle or make excuses for the pathetic cleveland sports teams....how can you not like that?
