We are at our 4th bar and we have haven't seen many Zips fans. Where's your dedication?
-
I really like the Z on the black and white basketball unis, but it just doesn't work as well on the sides of the helmets. I think for the Z logo to work it needs to be just 2 colors, so the Z looks like an outline.
-
I don't care if they dress like the guards in The Longest Yard as long as they win.
I don't care if they change our nickname to "Mean Machine" as long as they win.
-
What's wrong with this picture? Great job, Newscenter 5!
-
Will someone please steal that flag for Z.I.P.? He would really like to have that. Alternatively, does someone sell such an item?
I don't know anybody who has ever pilfered a Zips sign.

What Cleveland bar will Akronites be at on Thursday?
I believe we are starting out at the Clevelander & Huron Point Tavern, but I am sure we will walk over to Tilted Kilt & City Tap as well.
Where are the Can't fans congregating this year?
:rofl:
:rofl:

cool thread. Way to start it off Keener with The Lockview. My favorite restuarant!
I'll follow up by recommending the University Inn located in Tremont. Today it was named an "American Classic" by the James Beard Foundation. Sokolowski's University Inn was one of 5 restuarants in the COUNTRY to recieve this honor.

Sounds like a place I need to try. Thanks for suggesting it.
If anyone ever gets down into my neck of the woods, I would recommend you try Dor-Lo Pizza on Orange Street in Ashland. The place doesn't have much in the atmosphere department, but the pizza is great. Soft thin crust. Tends to be greasy, so if that's a turn off you want to avoid. I love the place.

Flash fans in the JAR
I get a funny feeling
Buzzed from the contact

You guys are slipping. Always one of my favorite threads of the year. I'll get it rolling.
Less than 24
Take your shots at the hippies
Or wait 'til next year

You see McCrea's performance through yellow colored glasses, I see it through blue.
Now, them's fightin' words.
-
Correct.
Steve French pissed me off in the post game show when he stated that he intends to vote for Javon "I cheap shotted Jake Kretzer"
McCrea for MAC player of the year. Based on what? McCrea's dominating performance tonight? Bull crap. Mc Crea got intimidated and shut down by the REAL MAC Player of the Year, Demetrius "Tree" Treadwell.
Six thumbs down for your lamed ass comment you non-Zip radio announcer.
Perhaps a visit from Chauncey is in order.
-
Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but some of ZN.o's finest are interviewed about the Zips chances in the tournament starting at 5:40.
-
Credit Dambrot for rallying the troops and putting a Chauncey Gilliam-esque woodshed beating on the Bulls.
-
Spectacular. Titan of the Tankard indeed. One correction though. You misspelled "broodoo."
I stand corrected.
Just trying to have a little fun.
-
I propose the University hire Chauncey Gilliam to be hall monitor. When he sees anyone wearing a sweatshirt from another institution he administers corporal punishment. School spirit will skyrocket.The students need to take pride in their/our university, which is easier said than done.
But, how do we change the culture as a whole?

Using local beer as the predictor: (Using BA ratings)
Game 1: Home vs. Howard
In a stunning upset, Howard knocks off the Zips in the home opener! D.C. Brau's Wings of Armageddon is too much for Thirsty Dog's Barrel Aged 12 Dogs of Christmas. 97-92. 0-1
Game 2: Away vs. Penn State
Double Trouble for the Zips. Nearby Troegs from Hershey, PA brings a case of Nugget Nectar and defeats Hoppin' Frog's Hop Heathen 97-92. 0-2
Game 3: Home vs. Marshall
Turd fans bring along some decade-old Falls City and are embarrassed by Thirsty Dog's Barrel Aged Siberian Night. 94-77. 1-2
Game 4: Away vs. Pittsburgh
Pitt fans bust out the Brewers Reserve St. Nikolaus Bock Bier by Penn Brewing that they cellared from last Christmas, but Zip fans counter with HF D.O.R.I.S. the Destroyer which wins in a tight contest. 94-93. 2-2
Game 5: Home vs. EMU
Michigan has many award winning beers. Gulo Gulo I.P.L. from Wolverine State Brewery isn't one of them and is crushed by B.O.R.I.S. the Crusher Imperial Stout. 94-86. 3-2.
Game 6: Home vs. Miami
A growler full of Truth IPA from Cincinnati's Reingeist. Very nice. Try some of this Gangster Frog. Pop your collar and sit back down. 95-92. 4-2
Game 7: Away vs. Ohio
Jackie O's is a world class establishment serving the finest beers. Dark Apparition Russian Imperial Stout is a real heavy hitter, but so is Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. Oatmeal Imperial Stout. Zips Win. 96-94. 5-2
Game 8: Away vs. Ball State
Cardinal Fans cheat and bring in some 3F Permanent Funeral. Munster is really too far away from Muncie to be considered "local". Fortunately for them, MAC officials can't see past Mun. HF Barrel Aged Naked Evil gets burned in battle of titans. 100-95. 5-3.
Game 9: Home vs. BGSU
BG has to run up to the city and bring some Maumee Bay Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout. Very Impressive, rated at 95. This is Akron, bitchez. Thirsty Dog Wulver is a 97. 6-3
Game 10: Away vs. Buffalo
Bulls fans sipping on some Flying Bison Blackbird Stout on a Tuesday night get rolled by HF Hop Heathen. 92-88. 7-3.
Game 11: Home vs. UMass
Another case of some cheatin' sons a bitches. UMass fans pull out Sam Adams Utopias. First of all, UMass ain't in Boston and Utopias is a beer in name only. Doesn't matter. Zips are still winless at the Info vs. Minutemen. Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. Van Wink puts up valiant effort but goes down 100-96. 7-4.
Game 12: Away vs. Can't
Tuesday night the week of Thanksgiving at Dick Stadium. All the Flash fans bring to the party is a hacky sack, weed & body odor. Akron wins by default just by breaking out a half-full growler of Barktoberfest that had been riding in my trunk since the Miami game. 8-4.
If only local brew determined the success of our football team, Fred Karm would keep us in the MAC title hunt along with Western every year.
These are my Brewdoo statistics.

As much as we want to bitch about MACtion weekday games, you can at least see the intention there which is to get exposure on TV. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind playing Howard on a Thursday? To my knowledge, it will not be televised at all so what is the point? Terrible decision in my book.
-
you guys have to be shitting me complaining about the scheduling.
Playing on TV is great if you weren't planning on attending the game. Travel distance is usually the killer for me, but any game that I can attend, I want to attend and I want them all to be on Saturdays at 4 P.M. or later.
I am totally selfish.
-
I was just getting to get on here and start bitching about
this lousy schedulethe Buffalo game ruining my plans to go to all 12 games. Then I saw JZ84's post.Vacation submitted.

Good read. Thanks for posting.
Akron will win 2 of 3 against Ohio, Can't & Buffalo to get bowl eligible. That's a stone cold lock.
-
I hope KD can circle the wagons quickly. It looks like the wheels are about ready to come off.
Delayed prophecy.

Glib,
Welcome to ZN.o and thank you for jogging this memory from my childhood.
