With proper marketing from the university, they can use the media (paper/radio/tv) to help their own cause. IMO that is where we need to focus our energies. The "media" is looking for good things to cover. Sometimes the team creates the buzz and the "media" has to cover it, sometimes (in our case), our marketing department has to create the buzz for the media for the fan to get excited to attend the events.

What!?!? Where are you hanging out? Ken+? I wear Akron stuff more than any other sports team. I have NEVER had anybody say something to me. Steeler stuff, yes, Akron stuff, no.edit-I take that back, I wore a Charlie Frye Akron jersey to a Browns game in his rookie season, while walking through the munny lot fans chanted "a-hole, a-hole" This was not because they were anti-Akron, just ignorant fans who didn't know that Frye was on the Browns.

The Browns have arguably been the worst team in the NFL for a decade, people get on the radio and talk about them every day. Newspaper articles are written about them every day. A team doesn't necessarily have to be great, you just have to have fans that care.

That can change if ZipsNation starts calling him and asking questions about the Zips. Jon Marochino & Todd Fisher Show Call the show 1.866.372.1350

The economy has forced the overpriced to get lean. Comparing super bowl commercial cost to an Akron basketball ticket price is apples and oranges. The economy should have little to do with the attendance at an Akron basketball game. I know a few of my friends out of work looking for low cost entertainment. They have no idea about Akron basketball. How would they ever know? Why not take advantage of the current economic situation to advertise the product as such...affordable sports entertainment? How about getting more students to the game. I counted 37 at the RI game. Yes I realize the semester has not started, but plenty of students live close enough.

I would guess he is waiting to see if he can land a HC job?

Alabama plays in the toughest conference in college football. They go undefeated beating many ranked opponents along the way. They smoke the number 1 team in the country in their conference championship game. They beat the number 2 team in the country by double digits and you think Boise State is #1? I really don't get it?

I could care less about SOS, RPI or PBR, I would like to see the Zips play teams better than them for two reasons.1. It's entertaining to me to watch.2. It makes our team better by playing better teams.

Couldn't agree more, when I , Falknor is EXACTLY who I think of. I hope he shoots like Falknor, but is more athletic. That dude could hit a three anywhere on half a court. Hopefully Euton is a better student too.

Tuesday was the first time I got to see Ronnie play. His footwork on defense impressed me. I'm rooting for him to work hard and take over the PG position. I haven't seen enough to know if this can be true or not.

+.5I have to think about this one for awhile... Is this why I enjoyed Huggins teams?...hmmmm

DVR it, invest an 1.5 hours of your life. 1.5 hours saved. How many times does someone save you 1.5 of your life?

We are in trouble. I watched him dribble at the top of the key for 25 seconds last night with his back to the hoop looking left, dribble off foot, recover basketball, look right, dribble dribble dribble, look left, (back still to the hoop) dribble dribble dribble, look right, dribble off knee, recover, dribble dribble dribble, pass the ball high up top with seconds on the shot clock forcing into a bad shot.Your statement might be right, but for the love of gawd we have GOT to find somebody that can run the point.

+2Defensive halftime adjustment won RI that game. Dambrot made the comment after the game "we prepared all week for the press, it surprised us when they backed out"

I say "yes" if that athlete provided endless hours of humor...and one of my all time favorite chants at the JAR.

Season ended September 19th at about 11 am for me. I can't wait for the new season.

I can admit it, and also realize I will not be watching them play next week because of it. I think Nicely is going to be a good one with the Zips, but I sure hope we can run the ball when we need to. Ball control and clock control depend on it.

Dick Lebeau come up with one of the greatest defensive schemes against Peyton Manning in that game. Dick Lebeau won that game. Ben had 14 whole completions in that game!?!? They ran the ball 42 times!

I'm only guessing, but see post #11 in this thread.Keep in mind when reading this, this is written from a story somebody told ITZ written years latter. If everything in the post was true, keep in mind CF was what 19 at the time??? This post didn't change my mind one way or another about Charlie, he can play on my football team.

Watch or record the game tonight (8 pm) on NFL replay. Come back tomorrow and post your thoughts. This is not just for zen, for everybody....GP1 included. If anybody has not got a chance to watch NFL replay, if you record it, you can watch the whole game in about an hour by ffwd through the commercials. They do a great job of editing the game, by taking out some of the boring 3 and outs.
