Great post from Can't's fan forum:- Those guys from Akron are acting like they just scored double digits on the ACT exam. What is the enrollment numbers at Can't? 37,000 including the regional campus? So two dorks wearing Can't State shirts walk into the Can't student section. How could you possibly know they are not from Can't? As noted the stunt was clever but not an "outsmarting" of Can't students. - This could never happen to Akron. No self-respecting Can't fan would ever wear an Akron shirt.- If I hear an Akron alum at work tell me one more time that Q, Mincy, Singletary, the trumpet player in the pep band, President Lefton, the janitor, or whomever from Can't is a thug; I am going to vomit. -With respect to the "crying Can't cheerleader" picutre, Akron fans don't realize that those are "tears of joy". She was actually looking up at the basketball championship banners hanging in the MACCenter. But then again Akron doesn't know what those are, so how can expect them to understand?You caught me I'm a Can't fan, I've stated that before.Oh and another thing, its sorta pathetic you have your forum automatically change K-e-n-t into Can't... WOW complex? What "Can't we do" because I'm pretty sure we CAN be a better school, and CAN beat you... but then we Can't be open enrollment like you.

OK this was somewhat clever but not that amazing. I'm sure if people dressed up in Akron gear came over with a sign we would do the same thing... thats like me sitting in a lecture class with 200 students and in the middle of it going "OH BURN, I'M NOT IN THIS CLASS, IN YOUR FACE"... LOLI liked it. You guys were brave souls to be down there amid the classes, vulgar, quite-less-than-creative unwashed masses that are your average Can't students. Once again, the AK-Rowdies shined brighter than the Can't students at the MACC. Good job!Yeah because flicking off people and "golden shower" chants are sooo classy.Dude what game were you at? Every time I looked over at the Can't section there were at least 10 people flicking us off. Golden shower? I don't recall that one, maybe a few people tried to start it, but it surely didn't catch on with the whole section. We sang the damn FIGHT SONG. Tell me that isn't classy as opposed to "f*** Dials, and f*** the roo." Please. And the Can't students were one of the weakest students sections I have seen in quite some time. Woohoo you have 1500 students at the game. Who gives a shit if you guys don't cheer until you have the lead. There was silence from that section for about 30 of the 40 minutes. It's nice to have the numbers, but I would take the AK-ROWDIES any day!Of course you would...1500 students is pretty impressive. And I for one know that Can't fans still cheer no matter what, thats your observation versus mine.I went to the game last year and I deff remember Akron fans being quite quiet when they were down. Oh and how about this year when you guys were losing at the end, the radio stations and TV stations were talking about how the Akron fans were leaving already... and I witnessed that too. Don't call into the question the loyalty of Can't fans, just because you have WAY to much time to make a sign that says "We Suck" doesn't prove anything. Maybe its because your Akron education doesn't keep you busy enough? I think so.And I will not get off this board until your fans get off ours.Have a great day.

Why is it that you attack me for being rational. Its easy to be blinded by pride.Pitt can raise money differently than Akron. Pitt is not in anyway comparable to Akron

"But while Moody's Investors Service changed the financial outlook for the university from ''stable'' to ''negative,'' it did not lower the university's credit rating from A2, which would have affected the interest rate UA would have to pay to borrow the money.UA sought the review of its credit rating on Nov. 27 and was satisfied with Moody's Dec. 16 report.''We are pleased with the rating we received, and we were encouraged by the positive feedback from Moody's analysts following their visit,'' John Case, UA vice president for finance and administration, told UA President Luis Proenza and the trustees by memo."HOW CAN YOU BE PLEASED ABOUT THIS?"Moody's said UA's strengths included its growing enrollment — 10 percent in undergraduates since 2004 — and balanced operating performance."We can lower our standards all we want to get more students the the truth is that the 18yr old population is declining and we won't have the increases for long.I was soo worried about all of our building and spending, while it needed to be done, this is what happens.Also, Akron's 500 million dollar fundraising is turning out to be a joke. Industry standards for fundraising says that you can not consider any fundraising effort that goes over 7 years as a "drive" Akron is counting money from 2000 and hasn't put an end date on it. Also, industry standards say that any pledge of a gift must be paid in 5 years of the pledge. Did you know that Infocision is giving 20 million dollars... over 20 years. Thats 1 million a year... not that much.God I hope they figure things out.

We are lucky they didn't take the picture of our guy swinging first

all student sections will have their chants that arent very sportsmanlike.Heres the one I like, walking back to the car there was a group of self proclaimed Akron fans yelling " F Can't State" "I hate KentState" and threatening to inflict harm on anyone that would voice there opposing opinions. They were extremely disrespectful to the many old and young walking back to the cars after a great game. This is nothing new I saw the same thing after the football game at akron this year.A few bad apples can spoil the bunch, and that's true at every school. OU's fans were pretty obnoxious too.Maybe we should start talking about productive topics like Central Mich. for our next game. Any insight on that team?

The elderly woman was being treated for her ANKLE which was stepped on by Milum during the scuffle. As for class, refer to the third picture above with, with the middle fingers up in the air.Can't fans weren't classy but do not lie and say our fans are any classier.

I agree Ham-n-cheese was pretty classless and I hope JC can work on that, or Can't is going to have some problems with Technicals

I admit I'm a Can't fan but I go to Akron, Whats the problem with liking both? My friends go to Can't, I have nothing against them. But I also root for Akron, mostly during Football. I wasn't trying hide it, no one has asked before.I just like to call it how it is.

Barely anything was thrown the TV and Radio made it seem worse than it was.An older man threw something, no students.I'm sure we never use bad words either LOL

The only people we should blame is ourselves for letting a 10 point lead slip. And if you ask me, I think we are just as big as "Thugs" as Can't because we started the fight that lead to the technical and I was at the game and I saw a zips fan go behind the Can't bench and try to start a fight and got thrown out. I'm embarrassed how we played and acted.Also on another note, who ever starts poking fun at the guy from Can't's elite eight team that was in the news paper for alleged rape charges needs to shut the hell up, that makes us look like shit. I give Can't some props for taking down his jersey banner before the game.Lick our wounds, get back in it.

I honestly worry about some of our poster's social life...lolAre you guys bored?

Haha, I never heard so much hatred for the color blue and yellow? Their colors are blue and yellow, nothing else. I didn't like our colors until recently, it makes us look drity lol, old gold and old blue lol... oh well, We're in akron, we have to show our city dirt lol
