Agree. As a former OT with a big waist and even bigger feet, I enjoyed shopping Zips gear that actually fit. Plus it was great to pick up cleats for my three boys. Cheaper than Dicks and in sweet Akron colors.

Also ran into Romeo Travis on the concourse and told him I loved him and Doug Penno is a bitch.

This was me, except surrounded by Miami fans. I told them they were soft, that the floor mopper was going to tear a tricep with all the work he had to do from their flopping, and that they wouldn't shoot 75% for the game. Miami fan told me to get used to it, and I told him I’m used to being at the championship game, but they only show up once a decade. And that their wives all have plastic surgery. And that it’s going to be a long lonely private jet flight back to Miami. Thank you Zips for the greatest game I’ve been to in a looooong time.

We can neg ourselves all we want… it’s a step in the right direction. We keep winning and we’ll pick up more. We didn’t need to be undefeated to get that vote either.

A Yale or Princeton victory and we might be there right now.

I agree not that high of a bar and it’s a first step. Also agree that another two weeks and I think we get that vote.

You think we’d have to be undefeated right now, 23-0, to “even have a chance” at being “others receiving votes”? That’s ludicrous.

I know we lost most/all measuring stick games in the OOC… but at what record or what win streak does this team start getting AP votes? Especially if the voters aren’t as cynical as us fans and recognize it just took time to gel. Ole Miss is #25 and we have a common opponent… they beat this USA team by 10… I bet at 23-5 we get a vote.

Front rat tail and a “We don’t talk about Bruno” mfer. I have non-Akron friends texting me that these guys are so easy to hate.

32 and 34 rocking the rim. Let’s go ZIPS

Alot of threes rattling out. And we need a guy who can rock a two handed dunk (looking at you, 32)

Box the F out! God, I miss Enrique.

I enjoyed the “oh shoot are these mics hot?” moment at the TV timeout

I will hurt somebody for a coney dog. Detroit style please.

Shout out to Hilltopper for the club tickets. An absolutely first class experience on the club level… hopefully the on field product improves and more people get to experience it. Exciting fourth quarter and a beautiful day.

We made a couple million. I made $100. The quarterback only got somewhat hurt. Buckeye fans said we looked pretty good. The all white kits looked slick for the road.

I’m going. My in-laws have OSU player tickets from a dude they know that played there in the 70’s. So I’ll be the one Akron fan down low surrounded by former players, being super annoying when we score first.

I doubt we’ll pull it off, but this is the first step towards the self checkout model. I’ve been to quite a few arenas with this setup, including the tourney game, and I really like it for speed.

McNeese 1 My second is Dials… one of the originals that pulled us out of the doldrums.

I think it’s more about imagine what this team could do against a 6 seed.

Crowd has filled in nicely. Upper deck even almost full. Probably more creighton fans than Akron. But all the neutral fans are cheering when we hit a three.

Fueling up at a Waffle House in Youngstown. See you fellas soon!

Took my oldest son to the game last night. At halftime someone asked about the buckeye score, and my son turns to me and says “OSU… are they in league below Akron?” bro I choked up like I was watching Rudy.

I don’t usually watch the postgame videos, but I couldn’t pass on Ali and Freeman laughing. Key takeaway: my GOD those guys are high character young men that make me proud to be a Zip.

I think somehow tying them to “rubber black” is a nice touch, even if it’s forced.
