  1. I didn't go and have been to only 2 games this year. What I pay for my season tickets is starting to make me wonder why I bother -- too many pointless games.
  2. I heard Lipscomb is now too scared to come here
  3. Truer words have never been spoken
  4. What a big week for the Zips... first BB beats UCSB, and then FB beats UTAH STATE in the Potato Bowl! congrats
  5. The box score said total attendance was 250....wow ... Just wow.
  6. It would be nice to know what the interest level is for Akron football-- how many people go
  7. That's just it ... I don't think it's the same metric / or giveaway as the previous yr. this year I believe there was a massive alumni ticket giveaway-- what that amounted to is probably a big reason for such an incredible increase.I know what I saw at the 2 games I went to-- I'm curious to know what the apples to apples increase was.... People in the stands - free or not - who showed up
  8. 18,000 is great ...Does that include all the free tickets distributed and not used etc - or physical people in the stands
  9. Been there...done that.
  10. I just want them to take the next step.. They have been a good MAC team ... I think they can do more
  11. There is not much for me to get excited about with the Zips anymore. It's like groundhog day. I am getting bored
  12. Here's a thought... Rather than show us the empty court on the jumbo torn at half time , give us the complete first half stats
  13. That's 3 hrs I'll never get back... Stupid way to win or lose. Good job on being one of the top teams this year
  14. As a casual fan I think the announcers have been fair
  15. That was like watching a 90 minute rain delay in baseball.... Let's hope they can pull it out in ot
  16. A report from the stadium indicated there were no lines at the restrooms or the concessions
  17. If I knew I could sit in the front row, and be heard on tv I would have made the trip.
  18. Any idea/ guess how many Akron fans will be at the game?
  19. Great coaching job done by Jared this year.
  20. I thought the T shirts might be black, or maybe gray
  21. Just think of how many donations they might receive if the uniforms said "Akron".... donating to this is a good cause-- they show up and play hard every game
  22. I am all for winning more games, but going to the very low end bowls seems like bad business for cash strapped programs. ....maybe they drop another sport? "At the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Bowling Green received 4,000 tickets. It sold 77 — 76 for $40 and one for $15. The athletic department and university lost a combined $154,000 after adding up expenses for the team, band, and athletic department staffers. Toledo, meanwhile, sold about 300 tickets for last December’s Potato Bowl. It received $225,000 for the 2011 Military Bowl in Washington and $475,000 last year, but spent $518,000 and $699,000, respectively, according to school records" Read more at http://www.toledoblade.com/sports/2013/12/22/Bowl-games-a-win-lose-situation.html#3itFS1L52yMGv3l1.99
  23. Great game for a team that got better as the season went along -- congrats
