  1. He's grown! Last we heard he was ONLY 5" 6' http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=15123
  2. They have missed 8 free throws and are down 11.
  3. I didnt think anybody watched MSNBC considering it is the least watched cable news network by far. But man he got a few big upsets right. He missed Georgetown though haha He had to pick GTown cuz half the people in DC went there.
  4. This is a very interesting topic that many have brought up. I went to the Marketing Department last week and asked some questions. They have no say in what is in the team shop since Barnes & Nobles is in charge of it. They can suggest things but BN doesn't have to listen to the request. This seems wrong to me. It is OUR team shop so AKRON ATHLETICS should be in charge of it. How did we get in this deal?
  5. Front page of the Sports section has a great pic of that monster dunk. It looks like Can't picked a player who will continue to strangle people during games.
  6. Brett McClanahan will be be our lockdown defender next year. You can count on it.
  7. I as screaming about that the entire Championship game! Cooper is great is pushing off and hitting a 3. Our guys couldn't do anything about it because they would call a foul on us.
  8. try 14.5. Good thing I only put $0.50 on it. I wonder how many people picked OU in the pool? Maybe one or two in the entire country. I honestly did. haha You also had Nova winning it all...
  9. Surprised I haven't seen this on here but there has been work going on at the stadium the last week at least. Nice pile of dirt showing progress. A web cam for this wouldn't be as exciting as the football stadium.
  10. OU is graduating 1 and bringing in 4?
  11. Why is curling not an option? Thats a good Olympic sport. Granted Buffalo would probably own the MAC since they are in Canada but its worth a shot.
  12. Somebody should email this to KD and the AD both...Ok a LOT of people should email this to both KD and the AD.
  13. Lets pick up Arizona St, Cornell, Kansas, Siena, and Penn State. Thats a good enough schedule upgrade for now. UC Santa Barber is on there too...lets schedule a soccer match.
  14. Interesting comment taken from their fan board. Glad their fans think we are the far superior team...I just hope our team doesn't lay an egg.
  15. Dear Tom, Please attend a Cavs game at Quicken Loans Arena (You were just there for the MAC tourney). Please don't watch the game when you go, watch their game day presentation. They have a VIDEO board that they actually play VIDEOS on when something good happens. I don't mean videos of the game being played...I mean video clips from movies that fans love to watch. They have a plethora of clips they play that have different uses. Fans love these and it is something that will get the fans talking. You never know what crazy clip they will play next. Also have more segments like the "Dance Cam" and "Kiss Cam" that make people actually do things, it gets everyone in the crowd talking. The screen can also be used for showing things that people want to see...like half time stats that are correct. There are several cartoons involving Zippy in them. They are funny. We love them. Use them. The Cavs have a MC who gets people involved during time outs. He doesn't always have to be on the court as long as he is on the big screen. Willy did this a few years ago and everyone LOVED it. Just please don't get a lame MC like Can't has. Also as you walk in to the Q notice the hallways are filled with things for the fans to do especially the kids. There are poster making areas, video games, and places to shoot hoops. A little late now but it would have been nice to do what CSU did this year. They had their conference trophy they won from the previous year on display on a table where fans could get their pictures with it. When you walk into Miami's arena they have all their trophies on display as well in cases. They also have large pictures of their most famous athletes. Free tee shirts get students to games. The whiteout was successful. Did you see how packed Buffalo's arena was when they played us? Their attendance is usually terrible but was packed because they gave out "Beat the Roo" tee shirts. When we play teams in the OOC schedule like Malone and Hoover HS that people don't want to see us play you have to entice people to come. The bobble head idea is great. Who wouldn't want a Zippy Bobble head? Actually the real question is Who wouldn't want a Dambrot bobble head doll? I know I would. PLEASE FIND THE ZIPPY MASCOT OF THE YEAR BANNER!!!! I have gone in and asked where it is at and NO ONE knows where it is at. How is that possible? It was hanging from the ceiling, its not like someone jumped and pulled it down. Speaking of Zippy...you wern't here last year but Zippy repealed from the ceiling...it was AWESOME. New tradition? It would be something unique to Akron and when our games are on tv would look great. Can we turn the lights off during opening intros and Zippy would be the first intro from above? Sincerally, A loyal fan

  17. We always do this year and last year it was Cadalic Ranch before that it was the Hard Rock.
  18. With the combo of spring break AND it being St Pattys I'm going to take the under.
  19. Well..Dave..according to the link u provided..the CIT is closed and WE aren't in it...looks like the CBI or nothing at all. I "PERSOANLLY" think we will be in the CBI with a game being played either Wed or Thursday...just my OPINION!!! In your opinion who would we be playing? I feel you know something we don't know...
  20. Who the heck has Vermont playing at Boston College in the CBI?? I could swear I saw the Catamounts beat Boston U. yesterday to secure a first round 16 vs 1 battle with a Syracuse club that probably can't remember the last time the two met. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball...0318_VERMON@SYR How can you not love Tom Brennan? Go Cats! It says FEB 24th at the top in large font.
  21. The most frustrating were probably the girls games when there were about 20 Rowdies or so, all sitting down 5 minutes into the game.How many Rowdies have every shown up to a women's tourney game before? It is hard to get students into women's basketball. I was one that made it to the women's game but I missed the first 10 minutes of the game because I was in the security office because they didn't like my 2ft X 4ft check made out to the refs. By the time I came back you could just tell we didn't really have a chance. Yes there were 100 rowdies....in the rowdie section. There were more scattered throughout the arena. Tickets cost money, the Rowdies bought tickets all 3 days. Thats a lot of money we can't buy a ticket for every single Rowdie who wants to go. Instead of complaining about there only being 100 maybe you should donate some money to the Rowdies to help pay for some tickets. Its easy to complain when its not your money being spent.
