  1. Yep, even though I watched Ohio state for 17 years, the second I stepped foot on UA's campus I had to stop rooting for OSU completely. This sentiment is simply asinine. I root for all Akron sports first and foremost yet I also root for the Buckeyes. Only time I don't is when the Zips play OSU; I root for the Zips. Guess what. I wanted to attend Ohio State for years until I got lazy my senior year and didn't feel like writing an entrance essay for them to accept my application. Hell, my bedroom is Ohio State colors but has more Zips paraphernalia in it than OSU gear. If anything people should be upset with the national attention the Buckeyes get. It is easier to be an OSU fan because of the fact that their games are on tv a lot. Does that mean I shouldn't watch them? I would love to see the Zips be on the same level of media attention and I will support them regardless of whether or not they ever achieve that attention or not. I guess the bottom line is that irrational people will be irrational regardless. It is just a shame that even though we are all adults here we can't have rational, civil conversations. To be honest, it makes the Zips look worse that we can't be accepting of fellow Zips fans that cheer for other teams.
  2. Akronnnnnnn ... Thanks for posting the link so we could all listen to the interview. It was great. no problem. I listen to WKNR at work so I was glad to hear he was being interviewed, knowing they put their interviews online =]
  3. for those of you that missed it, here is the interview. Very well done by Caleb. I literally smiled when he mentioned staying here. http://www.stationcaster.com/player_skinne...487&f=65068
  4. the commercial is actually a few years old. Good to see them still running it, though.
  5. From the gametracker, looks like our offense is run down, shoot a three, or turn the ball over right now.
  6. threw up a compilation of our three goals of the college cup:
  7. check out this photo from the Santa Barbara Independent: proving the chaos at the end. some other great pics there: http://www.independent.com/news/2010/dec/1...-zap-cardinals/
  8. One of the top searches on Bing too. Thanks for all who cheered from cold and blustery Akron. Those of us inside Harder Field were feeling your presence about the time the singing of "I Believe" got into high gear. Mahalo from one of those on the scene for your support back "home". I cannot wait to see the video of that. I'm hoping someone was smart enough to film it!

  10. Last night I spoke to a ref who did the UNC-SMU game(he reffed our indoor game) and he said that Louisville is going to kill UNC and they are the most complete team in the tournament. He also spoke highly of the Zips and predicted a Louisville-UA final. I think Louisville presents the bigger challenge, obviously. That being said I could care less about a storyline. Bring us UNC. I would rather play them and become
  11. really? Because I think you'd be better suited over there if he does get hired there. And I'm fairly certain most people wouldn't mind if you made the Can't boards your personal home.
  12. I've been watching soccer all day. A lot of these places stream their feed. SMU advances 5-3 on PKs. Such a shame, Creighton dominated and looked like the better squad most of the game.
  13. WOW! SMU scored on a nice header down off the crossbar in the 78th minute followed up by a nicer rocket shot from about 20 yards out from Creighton in the 80th minute. Then with 15 ticks left in regulation an SMU player hit a shot from about 35-40 yards out that sailed over the keeper's head, much like in the WC this year. In OT now. UCLA beat Sacramento State 4-1.
  14. Louisville scores two late goals to beat CofC 0-0 Sacramento State @ UCLA at the half 1-0 Creighton @ SMU at the half
  15. wow, thanks. UNC wins on PKs 5-4, will face Michigan State.
  16. I'm interested to hear about what happened in the Cal-UCSB game. The gametracker lists 3 UCSB players as getting red cards in the same minute as the winning Cal goal. How's this for multitasking though? Listening to the Georgetown-UNC game while watching the Creighton-SMU game. UNC-Georgetown is going to PKs.
  17. Dartmouth wins on an impressive shot from the corner of the 18 in OT. going to 2OT in NC. Creighton scores against SMU! 1-0 early in that one. Another Akron opponent doing well.
  18. 5-1 the final at IU. Dartmouth and ND are in OT.
  19. Charleston ties the game up 1-1 against Louisville after letting in a goal early. Also, Notre Dame is down 1-0 to Dartmouth in the 70th minute.
  20. got the ZipsZone going, hooked up to the big screen. It's a bit pixelly but glad to be able to watch the game =] Heard the announcer say that Brown knocked UConn out in PK's.
  21. Xavier up 2-0 on WVU after an own goal. less than 5 minutes in.
  22. thank you. When he took the timeout I was like, "somebody on ZNO is going to complain about that, and I am going to completely lose faith in UA fans." But thankfully you brought me hope. The last timeout was a no-brainer. The way MU was putting together drives, one timeout wouldn't have made a difference. It seemed the only place we were able to stop them was in the red zone. I still liked what I saw. Nice job on the no huddle. It is clear Nicely is young. Who is our QB coach? I feel with a good mentor he could be lights out.
  23. wow, Zips start with a penalty on the kickoff and incomplete pass. And as I was literally thinking "they need to just abandon the run", Allen breaks of a 91 yard run!
  24. QFT... I actually hope we don't have another game on FSN. Are the announcers we have(as in, Reghi) when teams come to our place so one-sided?
