  1. Awful .... who would have thought it was possible to make a schedule that bad.
  2. It's tough to imagine that there is much of a market (beyond a hundred...maybe a few hundred tops for something like football or basketball) for nearly any streamed MAC sport. More than anything, online streaming is a recruiting tool-- so that parents can watch their kids.
  3. I think it's......Cal Poly = Akron Poly ...not Cal Berkely ...(free speech aside)
  4. Dr Z - thanks for the extensive recap.
  5. I still feel that anything short of an NCAA tourney win will be a disappointment... a loss here or there in the MAC reg season is inconsequential to my feelings on this team. But regardless of the their post season success or failures this year, I plan on taking a break next year and giving up my season tickets.
  6. So there are 1200 tickets available to students... they can buy them for $10, or take their chances on whats left, and go for free?
  7. Why would more fans (other than the 3,200 regulars) be inclined to see the Zips play in a new or bigger arena against the MAC and various bottom dwelling programs, with the odd D III team thrown in? It has already been established that the team can't schedule any better. If the city floats a new arena --with the Zips as a primary tenant, they are crazy....and if the U of A somehow finances it, then it will be further proof that they are operating in a fantasy world.
  8. I wouldn't waste a scholly on a kid that didn't deserve it... I liked the quote that Khalil is an incredibly humble and quiet guy.
  9. FWIW attendance this yr (3196) is is essentially the same as last yr (3335). If you back out the KSU game last yr-- because it has yet to be played this yr, it is 3196/3203. Some things never change
  10. Kreed- nice post.
  11. I believe if you are a track athlete (dual sport), you count vs the allowable football schollys... if you are getting $
  12. Being ranked really doesn't do much for me with the schedule the Zips played this yr. I am looking forward to them winning a game in the NCAA tournament this year..... that is much more important to me
  13. Since they have Joey Julius at 270# kicking for them, 290 for a ILB or TE seems about right
  14. 3600 is better than 3200... even if it is a reported total. I (we) missed last night's game--- so I know my 3 lower bowl tix were part of that total, but a small step in the right direction.
  15. No, i see it now....when he looks down at his jersey, it is a #2 (his hs #).... I think its a trick a lot of the bigger programs pull
  16. The field is flipped....how about that number--wtf is that?
  17. If those 11 items aren't enough to get 3,200 fans to the game, I don't know what is.
  18. There is no such thing as a marginal cost at a school like Akron... they are broke, and spend money they don't have, like drunken sailors .... I just wonder when it ends ( for them and other schools).
  19. I don't think any promotions ... other than cash prizes and lots of quality big ticket giveaways is going to move the needle much. The interest in U of A and MAC athletics is "what it is". It appeals to a very small number of people, and far too many universities over value and over spend on their teams and facilities -- throwing good money after bad.
  20. The spread?... they got outscored by 30%. The program needs to win a big game sometime.
  21. 80 rolls of toilet paper ---maybe..... we need a new arena, now!
  22. At least for 200 people
  23. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye
  24. Would you feel the same way if they lost by 12?.....jk... about what I expected.... neerly every line had it at 12-12.5 ... not a good loss for Akron, or a good win for Creighton ... just a cruise control 12 point win
