OU Dance Team Member: Unusual or Visionary?
zippy5 replied to Zip Watcher's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
If you're using this line of thinking, male cheerleaders are the real visionaries then. Id rather be a male cheerleader than a dancer.. I disagree. There's nothing visionary doing something that's done everywhere, and that's been done for decades. Beyond that, if you are a male cheerleader, you're in competition with 4-5 other guys. If you are the dance team guy you're on the cutting edge, and it's 1-on-10. That's a good point, but there's a certain stigma of being a male dancer that I wouldn't want. Male cheerleaders aren't really expected to be gay anymore. They were visionaries 20 years ago, and this guy could be modifying their idea. hmm. this is an interesting topic. -

I have a word for it. It starts with a "g" and ends with a "y." -
They aren't close to my expectations, I was just pointing out how different the attitude would be if we had just executed one out of bounds play. But we didn't!

Top 10 Reasons We Lost to Wisconsin Green Bay
zippy5 replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
I don't care about the loss. It was the stinkin CBI. The players were disappointed from Saturday, and I'd imagine it would be quite a stretch to expect them to get up for a CBI game against Wisconsin-Green Bay in front of 878 fans when we were 15 seconds away from being in the Dance. Can't really blame anyone for this loss, nor can I really even get upset over it. -
True, but I think it's special to get into the top 64. I have a feeling the tourney will get pretty watered down, if you will, and the first round just won't have that exciting "tourney" feel. Just my two cents.
-
Here we all are asking for more, which isn't uncalled for, but if we would have won on Saturday, we would have 2 championships, and 4 straight MAC championship game appearances. Everyone here would be calling them a dynasty. We all have a right to complain and want more, but we aren't far off from completely dominating this conference either.

I love me some hockey.

You have to win em all for that strategy to work

How one could still question McNeese is beyond me. A shooting guard isn't called that because he shoots a lot...mcneese had a HELL of a tournament, and I have to believe it wouldn't have happened if he didn't have the ball in his hands as much (being a 2 guard) would he have hit either if his game tying threes if he wasn't bringing the ball up the court? Steve is a tremendous point guard for this team.

I don't know about that haha. I hate the sports teams, but I have a hard time hating a city...clevelands not bad, but I just think pittsburghs skyline is really neat.

Anyone else impressed by the play of Zeke Marshall?
zippy5 replied to ccoon44's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Awesome tourney zeke. Kinda thought you shoulda played a little more last night. I expect you to dominate the mac next year. Get stronger on the boards and don't bring that ball below your head ever! -
Congrats on a fine season guys, keep your heads up. I know GoZips is going to come on here and call you out, but you left it all on the floor last night. I didn't see on once of quit from anyone on the floor last night. It stinks we lost, but I feel a lot better seeing everyone give it all they have. Chris and Jimmy, you guys have done nothing but win these past four years. What senior class can say they've been to a conference championship all four years? We've all been lucky to watch this team the past few years, I'm glad I chose akron, or I never would have gotten to see you. Wherever Chris and Jimmy end up, we can all agree they will be winners; successful. I couldn't be any more proud of this group of guys. Do we really have to wait 8 months until next season? I can't wait to see McNees' senior year, I think he found another level this weekend, along with Zeke. These boys will be hungry next year.Go Zips!

Forbes rated pittsburgh in the top 10 skylines in the world last year. It doesnnt take much work to make the burgh look good ...it's nothing specialNothing can beat the view of Cleveland's skyline from Cleveland Browns StadiumCleveland has a skyline? lol I don't mean to get in a pissing contest over skylines, but give a little respect.

people said we don't have a leader this year? I never really made much of it, but I think he does a good job of it.
-
A win is a win is a win. Would we have gotten a bye to the tournament if we won by 20 tonight? a little adversity never hurt anyone.
-
Wasn't talking about last year. No need to be an idiot.idiot? I tried answering your question, sorry tommy tough nuts.
-
We didn't get a bye last year (RE: one entire more game) aand we won the whole thing. moving on...
-
Of course Zips fans are glad K.e.n.t was upset, how else do you think Akron is going to win the tournament? You won it last year and you'll probably win it this year but you'll never get it going through us.I was in that section talking all that trash, I'd probably do it again. We'll enjoy the NIT...just remember, only one of us knows for certain our team is going to a post season bracket at this point. Let's Go F.lashes, 2-0 this season and regular season never get it going through you guys? Maybe if you would hold up your end of the bargain instead of choking when it matters, we would see

All three of our recruits are still playing, correct? recruiting some winners, I like it.

Prepare like Herb Brooks prepared for the soviets.Play 6 months of games overseas? we only have 5 days!

There are plenty more without Rowdies shirts each game at our games, that doesn't prove anything.Fact is, who knows if you're really telling the truth but im guessing if you are you probably complained at Pitt as well. Just stop being such a negative nancy, wear your shirt, and have fun. Being a big downer like your being only causes more problems, so if you dont want to be in the Rowdies and dont want to sit down low than fine, it's your choice.Fact is, I'm not complaining. Fact is, I sit down there every game when my friends don't go with me (none of them want to sit there anymore). Fact is, I'll be sitting down there tonight. I'm not being a downer, I just want to see more students at the games, and I want to see the bottom sections full. I'm trying to give some suggestions. You're pretty much saying it's my way or the highway, and fact is, apparently more students want to take the highway.also, if you would read my posts, I'm cool with the way it is now, it isn't stopping me from ever attending games. It's stopping the other, not so "rowdie" students. hopefully something can be done to get them into the Zips! Go Zips!

That's because you don't have to wear them. You'll also notice how some of them are wearing previous year's zoo shirts too.
