  1. Zips move up 2 spots to #12 and are one of 5 teams to receive a vote.
  2. Best play call of the game was in the second half when State pulled within 4 and the crowd started getting noisy. The very next play Rico threw the alley-op to Zeke and took the crowd out of it for the remainder of the game. Previous Zips teams would (and did) started to fold at that critical moment.
  3. Has anyone seen the new all silver uniforms? They look pretty slick.
  4. Glad MLS could pass the NBA during their lockout...

  6. Check video again. The company who runs the site was having tech issues but the game went live after the first 15.
  7. What I am interested to find out:1. Does this mean the U23s will have practice at Akron? Our Field House would be perfect. This would be beneficial during the college season to just have the players come to him. They can even put them up in Quaker. Having all these pro soccer players around would be a nice balance for all of the NBA players that seem to come and go.2. Next year preseason scrimmage between the U23s and the Zips? Like the Crew scrimmage a few years back. 3. How many former Zips will make an appearance on the U23s? Teal, Kitchen, Valentine, Nagbe??? I would guess at least 2 if not 3. Most of them already have national team experience.
  8. ESPN love http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/...jays-first-loss
  9. Our schedule is 100x better than OU's http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-baskbl...skbl-sched.html Did we ever figure out what the 4th game for the tourney is?
  10. The Marketing Dept needs to set up a Madden contest. The ultimate winner gets to call the plays for the next Zips home game. Reasons this is better then what we have:1. We will have a proven winner calling the plays.2. He can't do much worse3. He won't call run up the middle from shotgun every other play4. It will get mentioned on ESPN (might be a negative)5. It can't get any worse.6. If it works someone gets fired (possibly from both schools) If they don't go for this then they should set up a console on the side of the field and press the "ask Madden" option to determine the plays before every snap.
  11. Since the beginning of the semester he has been on campus at least twice each week. It seemed like the first week he was there every day. The current joke is that since the NBA is in lockout maybe LBJ finally decided to take classes.
  12. You seem to be confusing rural and suburban areas. Can't, Buffalo, and EMU are suburban. NIU, Miami, Bowling Green are rural. I've been to most MAC campuses and quite a few Big Ten campuses. The Big Ten is made up entirely of land grant universities. That and their academics tie them together, but more importantly than any of that, they share the same culture. The MAC does not share a culture across its member institutions, in fact it varies wildly. Akron begged to get into the MAC, and it was a horrible mistake. If I had my say back then I would be dead against such a move (I am well aware of how the MAC was around the time we got in, so I am not judging based on where we are now). We never belonged in this league; the MAC has never treated us like one of its core members. As far as EMU's budget, they spend it funding non-revenue programs. That is where their priority is. they can be just as successful in a non-football league or a lower division. If you're in the MAC, as an FBS school football had better be your top priority, followed by basketball. Ball State is another school who doesn't care for sports, but keeps them reluctantly. They drove away Brady Hoke after he became too successful. Ugh. U of Mich, Indiana, Iowa and Northwestern are not Land Grant universities. According to the NCAA, total football operating expenses: EMU $4.385 million Akron $3.862 million Basketball operating expenses: EMU $1.367 million Akron $1.035 million So if EMU doesn't care about the big sports...? BTW, I only looked up a handful of schools, but BGSU and Ball State both outspent Akron on football and basketball. Just because emu spent more on bball doesn't make them a better team.
  13. I thought the team was going from Mississippi straight to WVU?
  14. Ohio Burger has the same manager and same employees as Sizzling Zone. The burgers they make are delicious. They put bacon on the burgers and the burger is pretty good. They tried modeling after 5 Guys Burgers and Fries.
  15. According to Brian Walsh, he increased his vertical by 7 inches this summer.
  16. Men- College Cup or bustWomen- Win a game in the tourney
  17. Saturday at 5 ESPNU will be replaying the final for anyone who still doesn't have it saved on their tivo.
  18. Just got done talking to a player to confirm some rumors. They are playing in the Valpo tourney. They are trying to set up a nonconference game vs st johns at msg. Also confirmed wvu and miss st.
  19. I thought I saw Cant's basketball team on campus today...
