Is it a problem then if i want all F's?

And no offense, but I think this is exactly what Geno Auriemma was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGa1O1gZ6cQ...feature=related At least check this out if ur not going to try to go. But just to let you know, the 4 biggest home crowds of the year for women's soccer was Can't State, Buffalo, Illinois State, and Ball State(DH with men's), with a combined aggregate score of 11-2...they were 1-4 in the other 5 home games on the year with an aggreagate score of 5-8. It's okay...I understand I'm one of the only few on this board that loves THE SPORT as one of my top two favorites(basketball is my love/passion). I know that all the rest of you are just along for the ride, and no matter what happens, I'll be there. You have to remember, this was only the 10th season of women's soccer. Think about how many years men's soccer has been around at Akron. Give it some time...Coach Pfau is trying to build a nice foundation for the program. He's doing well, and if you watched the video and actually went to a couple games(and easy to hear what he said since there's not many people that go to games), you would know that he likes to play the attractive style as well. But he has to get the players to execute that style. I think it's improving every year. This year the team had some injury issues(especially in that Toledo game thanks to the officials who didn;t do their jobs)... I love this sport, but most of all, I am a student of Akron and when I graduate from Akron, I will still come back to watch the great sport of futbol, whether is be men's OR women's... Seriously though, I just want to say that this isn't towards meatwad...It's towards everyone that is on the ZN.O board and ones that just read this board. He just brought it up and I know I'm bias being a high school girls basketball coach, but it's very difficult for me to see gender difference on deciding to go or not. When I decide to go watch, it's not "what gender is playing?" "it's what level and what sport is going on tonight?" That's just me and I know people are going to fire right back, and I'll take it...but I just want to tell meatwad that this isn't directed towards just him...

Really well done...I thought it was hilarious at the end how the guy didn't want to try to say Ampai's last name...he just told Ampai to say it...

I thought to see what other MAC schools were reacting to the Zip's national championship on Sunday. I couldn't find anything on Eastern Michigan's site of mlive.com and ncabbs.com. If anyone else know another site for EMU, please post it. Of course, the only other one that didn't have from what I saw was Can't State. But I don't care about that school to the East, so I didn't search too deep to find anything. Here's the links to all the other schools: Ball State: http://www.bsufans.com/modules.php?op=modl...pic=22138&8 Bowling Green: http://www.ay-ziggy-zoomba.com/phpBB3/view...=12&t=27152 Buffalo: http://ubfan.com/board/index.php?topic=11506.0 Central Michigan: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=340&f=2795&t=6879937 Miami(OH): http://www.miamihawktalk.com/discussion/vi...pic.php?t=52516 Northern Illinois: http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=469212 Ohio: http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/t...6&PID=16277 Toledo: http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=469599 Western Michigan: http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=469196

Well, i don't know if this was Ianello's doing, or athletic department flexing their power trip, but when the Rowdies were trying to line up for the Zips March on the tuesday game vs Michigan, when the staff said we can't line up until football practice was over because of "spying" on our great, at the time, 0-7 football team ....we had to wait in the grass on the other side of the street right in front of the fieldhouse...

fine...i thought it could use as a joke that people are uptight right now that we're the only university going for a national title this fall(other than Mt. Union) in Ohio...but you know, if ur going to take it like that, and make me an outsider, i'm done on here...I'll be back on in the summer... It's not like other people have done that in other threads, but for some reason ur all out to get me...so fine...im done here...

I guess I'll come out of the closet... ...I have experience with "mascots"... I was the "soccerhead" this year within the rowdies and got a lot of compliments, strange looks, etc. BUT THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!! HOW BAD DOES THE UNIVERSITY LOOK WHEN ESPN ASKS WHERE THE MASCOT IS WHEN THE OTHER 3 ARE THERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Zippy can not make it to Santa Barbara...one of my Zippy friends told me that UA said there wasn't enough in the budget for the mascot to go. But they're using Zippy's twitter page...typical UA...if u want to know more about this Z.I.P., let me know...

fine...ill edit it ...i just thought it was real funny...i hate OSwho... their fans are #$##@$#$$#$#@@$...i thought everyone could use it as a laugh...guess not...whatever...i didn;t know where to post this...and by the way, this is the first time i posted something of OSwho on here... I'll edit this post and the other if it hurts you that much....

I thought to throw this out there...looks like some tension down in Cowlumbus Someone's status that i graduated with in high school that goes to OSU, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- she said "Only thing keeping me from california is 2 days and 2 finals" I said "california for what? watching the Akron Zips win a national title?" she said "there is more to life than your college's soccer team...so no" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a little uptight that OSU isn't playing for a national title i guess?

I'm going to head to my friend's house friday night at about 7pm...we'll play FIFA, eat pizza, chips, and drink pop while waiting for the start of the game...Better than not knowing what ur getting at the Barley House or the Tap House...this is what i found on facebook on what the tap house has planned: Tap House: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1728...090&index=1

To be fair, the game wasn't their fault. I was there as well and that game their cable provider dropped the ball. I was there as well...Texas A&M game...FSN Southwest dropped it due to lack of attendance...the owner actually told the cable provifder off...i can;t say it on here what he said since ZN.O is a family friendly site...

u think there's any way that that video willl be on youtube or something? the new one they showed tonight at the send off party after the "This is Akron" one...i want to plaster that on to my facebook, and brag it to all my friends in my hometown to see if they want to come up to akron friday night for a big atmosphere...

I can't go Friday since I have to coach a high school basketball game on Saturday at 7:30pm. But, if we make it to the national championship game, I might be able to go, if I can get some one to help me get there, or go with...

but expecting them to stop wearing OSwho crap to Akron games/events, is perfectly reasonable. +1. When this happens, the Rowdies should ridicule the guilty person with chants to the point of utter humiliation. Perhaps that would curtail it from happening again. Yeah, because then they'd want to come to another game for sure... Who cares what they wear? They are a PAYING customer who, on that night, made the decision to go to an Akron Zips game over other forms of entertainment. If they have a good game experience, they'll probably come back. If they're ridiculed for wearing a shirt of a school that isn't a rival, isn't in our conference, and never plays us because some of our fans have an inferiority complex with Ohio State, they will probably say screw it and go to the movies next time. When we start selling out games, you can start being concerned with what fans wear. If it's not graphic or vulgar, who cares? Good God...it's no surprise our fan base (especially student fan base) has trouble growing with short-sighted, ignorant attitudes like this. Our fan base has trouble growing because of the short-sightedness of allowing people to think they can get away with wearing the colors of a school we actively compete against for recruits and TV time. How can you be taken seriously when nobody cares that half the fans are wearing the gear of another team and not the one they're watching? Complacency kills. You are on to something here. I have always felt that there are too many people attending Akron sporting events that should not be allowed to attend. Something must be done about this problem before it goes any further. You are brilliant. I'm going to try once more to get some points across... Attendance - Akron was 6th in the conference last year. For this program to grow, more people need to go to games. Publicly ridiculing people who wear OSU gear (or anything else you may not like) to a game will not increase attendance. The irony is that growing the fan base is essential to reaching the goal you (and I) want to reach - Akron being on the same level as Ohio State as far as basketball programs go. If you're going to alienate fans, get used to 2,800 at the JAR every night, which hurts the program going forward. Recruiting vs. OSU - We very rarely compete with Ohio State for recruits, unless I missed Jared Sullinger's visit to campus. Take a look at OSU's recruiting targets for the next three years (http://ohiostate.scout.com/a.z?s=145&p=9&cfg=bb&c=4&yr=2010). ZERO of them have Akron listed as a school of interest. Aside from a rare case, we just don't go after the same players at this point in time. Competing with OSU - Different conferences...never play each other in the regular season...the only time we'd see them is the NCAA Tournament. Aside from a very rare occurrence, we don't and won't directly compete with OSU on the court. Look, I'm a die-hard UA sports fan, but anyone who thinks our program is on the same level as theirs right now is delusional. That's not to say we can't get to that point. But for that to happen, increasing attendance and expanding the fan base is a must. Simply put, to get this program to the next level, we need more fans...and if you're pushing them away because you can't get over them waring an OSU shirt to a game, you're hurting the program. Let them have a good time at the game and enjoy our wonderful basketball team in action, and I won't just guarantee that they'll come back, I'll also guarantee that they'll eventually trade in their scarlet and gray shirt for a blue and gold one. The fan base will grow, which helps the program grow, which helps Akron eventually become a major college basketball program. Or you can be petty and childish, ridicule these people, push them away, and we can keep the status quo. Up to you Zips fans... It's common sense....You are going to an AKRON game...find something blue or gold even if you don't have anything with "Akron" or "Zips" or anything like that embroidered/printed on it...It's like wearing a shirt or hoodie of a different high school to ur own high school....it's common sense...

Indiana on game(last post on page 17 starts the talk) http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread....775&page=17

The point is to FORCE the students to sit in one area. How many students are scattered throughout the GA section that could be packed together? How many of those students don't cheer because of the oppressive atmosphere created by the old folks who yell at them to sit down and stop being so noisy? I'm going to sound like a prick here, but I'm going to be honest...a lot of students don't want to be associated with the AK-Rowdies. Many choose to sit up top, and it's not because they don't like the view from the current student seats. Then they shouldn't pay the ten bucks. As soon as they do that, and they get the t-shirt, they are associated with the Rowdies...there are about 2,000 students in organization...about 85-90% of them pay the 10 bucks just to get the t-shirt...this problem has been going on for a while...I see students at Akron events talking about Ohio State, and Auburn, and many more like we don't have an athletic department and acting like we're just some community college...I see so many OSU memorabilia around and other colleges' memorabilia on campus, and it makes me I told some UA students that I hope OSU loses to Michigan and they're like...."why? they represent ohio? u HAVE to like OSU?" I said back to them..."Actually, OU is the representative university of ohio since Ohio is not "Ohio STATE"...the state is just "ohio" I feel like I keep repeating my self in conversations to hear...

I'm just wondering why our best game so far(excluding Millikin), was ON THE ROAD at Dayton...and our 2 games so far that we haven't played well was HOME vs Youngstown State and Cleveland State
