Let the Bucks go 5-7 a couple of years and see how many people fall off the band wagon.

He didn't saw WHICH draft. With a half dozen arena leagues and a bunch of semi-pro leagues, it might happen.

but we don't have to like it

I love it how peope on this forum rip on the Buckeyes at every opportunity they can. It's hard to find something positive to say about the Zips so they resort to ripping the Buckeyes. It' actually pretty sad. Screw the Buckeyes...i enjoy every moment they fail, almost as much as I enjoy when Can't fails (which happens a lot, yet never gets old ). What is wrong with that? Now i get the whole overdoing it on the Buckeyes thing (and please let's not start that again), but honestly, OF COURSE people are going to rip on another in-state team that might as well be considered a rival, that's what fan forums are for! I guess not all of us are sick and tired of having them shoved down our throats by sports fans who are compensating for their pro teams sucking sewer water by gang banging on a team 150 miles away. I understand it from OSU alum, by all means. But most of these people never sniffed a college classroom...

Excellent!!!

nice...

Yep, still on the fence on this one...

In an area where boys are raised to love the Browns and the Buckeyes (or the Steelers), what has this program done to reach out to the football fan? There is no marketing. None. Yeah they get flashed up on a billboard for a few seconds, but so does mens and womens basketball, soccer. So does Can't State. The merchandising still sucks. I don't remember if it was TJ Maxx or JP Penny last week, but I was in one, IN AKRON, and they sold Can't State crap but not Akron. I swear we're not only under the shadow of tOSU, we're also under the shadow of Can't State. I wanted to buy a winter coat, they don't make them. Guess I'll have to buy another Akron Aeros coat this fall. It's pretty sad when a liberal arts college has more stuff then your own "Division I" school does. New stadium. Woo hoo. They can't be bothered to fix the wind damaged scoreboard. I'm waiting for a gust of wind to get up inside there and blow all the front panels out. They'll show up on game day, and wonder why it doesn't work. I don't even want to go into the gong show on the field. Not having the talent in your first year is one thing. But the same linemen making the same mistakes and drawing the same penalties in the spring game, the scrimmage, and in late November to kill possibly winning drives, is UNACCEPTABLE. Down years, I understand. Overmatched against bigger schools, not a problem. But a complete lack of coaching, I'm not coming down here to watch it and I get in free. I see better football on friday nights. The whole thing just gives me the impression that nobody in the program gives a shit. So why should I? Congrats football on your accomplishment.

I don't think anybody is expecting the Zips (or any other school where it snows) to go to Omaha this summer. But we're usually better than THIS. We had a winning record a couple years ago.

With this program go back to school you can probably walk on and make the team. 6-23, 0-9 in the Mac. They're making the football team look good. WHAT THE HELL???

Wayne County Speedway. Joe Tait. This has been a bad week... Next someone is going to tell me Starcher's Pool Hall is gone.

Easy now. Gloria's from Akron. We have to be fans...

So much for that idea.

I agree. Let's beat the Cleveland States, Minnesotas, and Daytons. Then we can move further up the food chain. Getting smoked by Temple isn't going to inspire any real programs to give us a date.

Wrong lesson. We play enough major programs. That isn't the problem. The Zips have to start winning those games and stop losing to the Daytons and CSUs of the world. "Learning how to win" has to end with a team actually winning to prove they have learned the lesson. If they can't do that, they will always be this good team stuck in an a "building process" or whatever we have rebranded it these days. +1+1+1+1

I set up a fantasy baseball on Yahoo for this season. Full season, autopick draft, head-to-head, all baseball, trade deadline, and playoffs. 2 day waiver after the draft. Start: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3 any OF, 1 Util (DH), 4 starters, 3 relievers, 3 any P, 6 Bench, 2 DL (25 man roster) Batters Stat Categories: Runs ®, Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB), Extra Base Hits (XBH) Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Shutouts (SHO), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), No Hitters (NH) If the majority of owners want a change, I'll make it. If you're new, we'll help you out. If I get enough participation from each I'll set up divisions between forums. If not they will be random.

I've seen more people at Wayne College games than at some of the West Division games this year. Do they even charge admission to some of those gyms?

You don't have to crunch any numbers. Jeff Sagarin does it for you...

One word? Hmmmmmmm. K.e.n.t.

Man, what is it with this team? Every 6th or 8th game the basket has a lid. Oh well, at least we beat Can't's ass. LOL

That's more like it

We're shooting better from outside the 3 point line than inside it, WHY are we still forcing the ball inside when we're so far behind? The only shot we've hit in the second half is a tre. It would be different getting drubbed by a much better team, but we're just pissing this one away.

Nobody is gonna win shooting 36% in the Big Dance. They gotta start hitting.

I'm trying to remember all of the shows and commercials that used DEVO songs. They're not listed anywhere. Maybe someone else in my age group can fill in some of the blanks "Working in a Coal Mine" was the theme of an office-based sit com "Freedom of Choice" was used by a cell phone company and/or bank "Beautiful World" was in a commercial "Through Being Cool" was in a commercial "Planet Earth" was in a commercial "Out of Sync" was the theme of a movie? THey went techno after "Are We Not Men?" and turned off some, turned on others. Their music continues to evolve (I'm sorry, de-evolve) They were never mainstream, and never commercialized to become mainstream like most other bands do. So I don't think less of them for only having one hit, I'm glad they didn't cash out on "pop". If they had, they wouldn't have lasted this long. If that makes them "one hit wonders" then so be it. People still pay to listen to them.
