The stream is awesome. Like HDTV.
Now we need to run up the score. We need to win this one big.
Every time they seem to be pulling away, they let EMU right back in it...
-
I'm thinking it would take up most of the space from the soccer stadium to Exchange Street anyway.
Being on such a busy road would help with visibility. Unlike the JAR which is buried.
Visibility was the main reason I wanted it next to route 8. Would be a great view from the east to see a nice big arena next to the Infocision. Probably won't be seen if it were built in place of Lee Jackson Field. But at the end of the day, UA knows whats best.

After another slow start I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 5 point game, going either way

From Zips Facebook Today:
Who is still looking to purchase a replica shirt of the new black jerseys that debuted during the OU game last week? They are now available online! #11 with "ZIPS" on the back and #44 with "@ZipsMBB" on the back are both available.Authentic jerseys and shorts will also be available online soon (there has been a delay with those!). The pricing for the authentic jerseys and shorts will also be lower than initially expected. Jerseys will be $110, not $150 and shorts will be $70, not $110!
Awesome that the pricing will be $40 cheaper!
-
Were the jerseys ever made available online? I was interested in getting a replica.
I was wondering the same thing. Haven't seen/heard anything yet. After the first announcement I heard something about being online the week after the game, but that has already passed. Really wanted a jersey or at least a shirt. Maybe the programming associated with customization is the hold up?
-
I've always wished they'd build the arena between Infocision and Route 8. Although the was probably mean they would have to close Spicer St or reroute. I guess building it in place of LJ Field will work just as well, and maybe being closer to dorms/housing along Exchange will help.

Can anyone guess which forum member made the following statement in his very first post on ZN.o?
Must be an OhioU fan

I don't think Seth Davis has ever seen Akron play. While I think we have a talented team, we are not playing like a top 25. We haven't played to our potential since MAC games started.
-
Posters here know I'm rarely negative, but we've been playing awful recently. Embarrassingly bad. We should have absolutely throttled both CMU & Miami. KD says we're going to be taking every team's best punch. Whatever. If we're as good as we say we are (National Championship, Rico?) CMU & Miami's best punches should be like my little sister hitting me. Instead, they almost knocked us out.
Exactly how I feel. A tournament team would have won those game easy, by 20+. We play to the level of our competition. The Zips will never have that "killer instinct" teams like Gonzaga, Butler, and VCU have. Our players are more worried about winning in the tournament, when we have half the MAC regular season left to play. I still think it's very unlikely we win the MAC tournament. They need to worry about beating EMU now and not anything else. Stop talking and play the freaking game!
-
We're not the only one. Ohio only up on BGSU by one at the half.
I'm sure they will pull away. Shouldn't have any problem beating BG.
-
Zips need to make a run and put this one away! Please!
-
Outrebounded by gnats, 19-14.
Well the Zips have just been standing below the hoop. Rebounds don't just fall in your lap, you have to unglue your feet from the floor and make an effort to catch the ball.
Don't understand why we should care so much, since it's obvious this team doesn't care. I'm sure there are plenty of members here that would be playing better out there right now...
-
16 points in a half. Well apparently they don't care much about this game.
About time the Zips stop talking about about the MAC tournament, stop talking about NCAA tournament, stop talking and worry about playing these games.
-
Awful start, what else is new. Don't know what it takes to get this team motivated.
-
What a sloppy, sloppy game so far.
6 turnovers so far...at this rate we'll finish the game with 24
-
Dayton vs Temple game is going to end late...what else is new?!
Worst officiated game I have ever seen. Practically tried to hand Dayton the win
-
Very disappointing if true. A lot can happen in 5 years. This should be the #1 priority at UA, yet it seems like an afterthought. Keep dragging our feet and the basketball program will fall into the dumpster just like football and potentially soccer.

Stellar article by Withers, I had to give him a follow on twitter for it! @TwithersAP Although all the Cleveland tweets may get a little much
. The story made its way to NBCSports.com as well, and several other locations (since it's AP).
There is also a little story on the Zips on FoxNews.com tonight. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/02/07/b...s-on-deep-ncaa/
Looks like he tweeted a pic of an OSU flag, with the caption "O-H". No interest in following him.

I really want to see the team show their killer instinct this weekend. Come out hard, get them down and then step on their throat.
Exactly. Play like they did at the beginning and the end of the CMU. We just don't play a "complete" game very often. Seem to rely too much on a 10-20 point runs to get the team in position to win. I know KD hates to run up the score, but I think we need some big wins down the stretch...
-
This game is yet another example of why we need to stop caring about what the national media thinks of us. Just win and things will fall into place. Sitting around worrying about it doesn't do anything. If anything I'd want to be overlooked and the Zips play with a chip on their shoulder. Play with something to prove, but play that way every game. I don't care if it's Oklahoma State or freaking Coastal Carolina. Don't overlook any opponent. We thought we could walk all over CMU and struggled for most of the game. Can't blame anyone but the Zips. At least they won and let's move on to the next one!
-
Any bit of "respect" this team wanted just went out the window. Embarrassing performance.
-
Let down game in full effect
-
Attendance tonight? Im leaning 4000.
I think thats accurate. Anywhere between 3500-4000. Definitely not a big crowd by any means...
-
No kidding - I remember a game from 2008, in the JAR, against an absolutely terrible NIU team who came in and ended up beating the Zips by 10 handing us our first home loss of the year in mid-February. Ever since then I'm always nervous about the "terrible road team" coming into Akron and putting together their best game of the year.
Sure would be embarrassing to lose after all the optimism surrounding the program.

New game, same old story. Lazy passing and letting these terrible teams hang around.
