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)
-
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.

ZipsNation Basketball All-Star Team Poll: Shooting Guard
pdt1420 replied to ZipCat's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
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.

Increasing JAR Attendance/Engaging the Fans

10000% this ^ Even do it for the lower seats - maybe one kid ticket under 16 per paying adult? You would only lose a little money, and the bottom would be filled with enthusiastic fans. And kids sitting that close to the action and these larger than life athletes would be hooked for life. -
Position Preview (and updates) - Wide Receiver

He was the coach when I was in school and I met him and was on the practice squad for a hot minute. He is flat out a phenomenal human being. It’s weird to say that was the golden age of Akron D1 football… but it was and I’m ecstatic that he’s back in the program. -
I’m just happy there are good looking Akron fans again.
-
I think it’s better. The pencil had nothing to do with the school and it was comically dangerous.
-
Interesting that they say Bubba was granted eligibility, but decided to move on. Not that I blame him as 6 years is a long time, but the last I heard he wasn’t granted the eligibility.
-
I’d take two years of Sparks. Dude is a load to deal with even though Freeman limited him.
