It's all Clint Eastwoods fault...click it and weap

Didn't one of Akron's former coaches come from the Bob Knight school?He got a lot of passion out of his players. They gave 110% all the time. Bob KnightBehind closed doors, you get the feeling he's a big softy. He was even rumored to have cried with his Hoosiers after getting fired in 2000.

70's dynasty Steelers would cry when they lost regular season games.Even recent Steelers (Super Bowl MVP) cry. Who's gunna say Hines ain't tough?Only means you have emotion about what you do. Sports are emotional.I would rather have a teamate give 110% and cry at failure rather than give a half-a$$ effort and walk off the court like they didn't care (insert a certain player here that used to play at the JAR)

I would hope we do better than this.

Mr Akron, Terry Bluto, spent all week at practice and then wrote an article on Sunday.

Pretty good poll on gozips.com. I thought I would repeat it (modified) here to try get some feedback.I have a definite opinion, but will give others a chance first.

Not a very well designed chart. I see your confusion.In a nutshell the graphic illustrates:The Rubber Bowl (overall) is 10 out of 13 in the MacFans are 9 out of 13 in the MacHistory is 2 out of 13 in the MacStructure and setting are last in the MacIn my future chart (the one after our new stadium is built) I ranked us #1 overall in every category

Talked to Hixon last night. Was real excited about his pro day.Said the Steelers were interested in him becuase of his special teams ability.Steelers were looking for Randel El replacement.He has a private workout for Carolina and another team that I can't remember right now.

Doesn't clear channel own like a gazillion radio stations? Like 1100 WTAM?I would rather see the MAC sign some deal with satelite radio, then the signal is good across the country.I think the Big Ten, Pac 10 and ACC all have deals with satelite.

I was getting worried when I didn't see you respond. Thank you for responding.Fear the Brown Roo, can you put an end to this ugly rumor?You can't post something like that and not let us in on your info.If you can't say something, don't post it.That's trying to get people to bite, you are only making me worry.

If you have a case of Zips (football) fever there are only two cures:1. ZipsNation.Org2. Rewatch the MAC championship game and remember how fun that wasI would hope to see the tailgating step up this year and I would hope to see some student participation this year.

Welcome aboard Zipmeister.Lee Owens

I would be more inclined to vote for them if they had Zips shirts on, and they're favorite team was the Zipsand they were driving a Zips RV.F Columbus Sate

Nothing against you Bbum, but you guys remind me not to rob a bank with him.

Isn't scheduled to be on ESPNI would like to see the MAC up there contract with SiriusSirius is broadcasting ALL 64 NCAA tourney gamesSirius is a sports fans DREAM!

Welcome to the club!One of my favorite things about UAM was when he got furious at seeing an OSU hat or jacket at an Akron event.

Worst excuse I have ever heard. "I don't want to go to a free basketball game where my team is playing because the bleacher seats aren't very good."If that is truely some students excuse, we are better off if they stay home.Fan stands for "fanatic", not "well I'll go to see them if I get seats behind the hoop for free."Sure it's fun to sit behind the hoop, but a real fan will sit anywhere to see there team.Just ask Browns fans.JAR needs redone so we can get more students down below to make a ton of noise.I am guessing if Mack is as good as I heard he is, this will happen sooner than later.Good topic. Story in the Buchtelite could have been more extensive.I still like the idea of an alumni section too.

Remember, like most boards, people post when they THINK they have something to say.Everybody supports KD here. There are a few people that are still mad about the Toledo lossso there vision is clouded. Thus you get those people posting that KD needs fired.Was anybody calling for KD's job before the Toledo loss? Everybody is entitled to there opinion,especially here. What is the saying? Opinions are like a-holes, everbody has one, and most of them stink.I'm a stat guy. I look at the stats and I don't even question if KD's the right coach. BTW, right for what?Like it has been posted multiple times, does anybody remember Coleman Crawford???My vote for the subject line is "yes"

From Roger Brown (PD Saturday)Former University of Akronstar receiver Domenik Hixon helped his chance of being a second-day pick in next month's NFL Draft with a solid performance during Akron's recent Pro Day session. Hixon could be attractive to NFL teams because he's a converted safety. He could serve as a No. 4 receiver for a club and double, in a pinch, as a defensive back much like New England's Troy Brown.

I talked to Crouch at the Zips/Can't game. He talked about the spring game.Didn't seem like he is quiting.

Can the Zips send Chaney home for good?Owls assistant Dan Leibovitz could be running the showI can't believe we lost to Akron by 20.

Shooting 29% in a championship game? Watching all those open 3's clank off the rim made me

Did Steve interview KD after the game last night?I was busy drowning my sorrows in Cleveland after the game I like listening to KD after the game. He is a straight-shooter in answering questions.If he did speak, and some respectful ZN member heard it, can you post a small summary?I guess I'm still searching for answers.

I have to disagree. The TEAM did not quit. I saw good efforts from Travis, Futch, Ced and Peterson.I believe certain individuals did give a poor effort, but not the TEAM.I wish you were wrong about the attendance, but you are right.

I think we lost because the wrong people were on the floor at the wrong time...or...two players forgot to step up.You can blame it on those players or you can blame it on the coach for letting those two players on the floor.Dru 34 minutes 8 pointsDials 28 minutes 2 points (1 for SIX)Peterson 20 minutes 13 pointsCed 22 minutes 12 pointsPeterson and Ced were doing everything they could at both ends of the floor.I know two players that were not. I wish I could give you a defensive stat.Like I said, you can blame it on the players, or you can blame it on the staff for having those players in.Nice season, but I still feel like I have been
