I graduated a few years ago and remember getting emails about robberies (similar to the Ohio U situation) every couple of days. I guess in light of recent events it doesn't hurt to be too cautious. Hopefully no one was injured...

Well ebay may not be the best place to judge the value of something. A french fry sold on there for $200 lol I'd say the average cost of a bobblehead would be less than $5. Not to mention Coca-Cola and LBJ foundation helped pay for them. I'm sure if it were possible to get more than 3000 they would have...

Honestly I don't care what they think or have to say. I just don't see them as a rival. Thinking Bigger is a motto meant for more than the MAC. If we spend our time worrying about MAC schools we aren't setting high enough goals. I don't care what other MAC schools have done in the past Elite8, Sweet Sixteen, BCS, CWS all that matters right now is this season. Wednesday's game means just as much as Saturday's.

I don't think that would go over well for Tree's Also we have to remember these are College students, there probably are some tweets/language being used that UA wouldn't want to promote.

I think there's a difference between the Z and X. Xavier is the school name, where as Zips is only our nickname. That's why I think the A-Zippy logo has to always be prominent, with Z only used as a secondary mark. I do think a metallic gold Z would look awesome on the side of a blue football helmet...

Gonzaga has "Zags" but there official nickname is Bulldogs, so that's similar to Zona. I think they even had a black "Zags" jersey a few seasons back. I believe the Zips are the only team with an actual team/nickname beginning with Z. That's the one part of our history that I'm most proud of. With all the bulldogs, tigers, cardinals, bobcats, wildcats, bears, etc in sports, it's refreshing to have something original.

Say what you want but the MAC only has 4 teams with +.500 records right now, and a team that only scored 4 points in a half.

Anything is better than the MAC, I'd make the move in a heartbeat.

I will say that no win is a guarantee. Play this game like any other and don't overlook BG.

I just don't get the obsession these people have with ZipsNation. Isn't there an Ohio U place somewhere online?

Big East today announced they want to add a 12th team. Probably another terrible school like Tulsa.

It's okay UA is going to build an arena of 3000. That should take care of all the problems.

Unfortunately almost all of the Rowdies chants are taken from other schools. My least favorite is easily "You can't do that", since I've heard it at about 99% of the college and lower level basketball games I've been to.

Speaking of the NCAA Iowa wanted to wear TRIBUTE jerseys for former player Chris Street, star forward who passed away in a car accident in 1993. The Hawkeyes planned to wear uniforms that all had "Street" as the last name. NCAA denied their request. Similar to our request, but I feel like it's pretty low to deny a team a request for a tribute. But the NCAA did allow Providence to wear green jerseys with Sandy Hook in place of the name on the back. If I'm the NCAA I don't see a problem with tributes like that.

Look what Michigan State is wearing today. Complete with gold/bronze shoes and socks. I will say it looks awesome! Man if only we could get a blue and gold version of that!

Picture tweeted today had "@ZipsMBB" on the back. Not really a fan. I get that it's social media night but the twitter handle would get more exposure on the floor as opposed to the back of jerseys. I'm interested to see if they really see a jump in followers. Currently at 1,455.

Strange, if they were too late can't get mad at anyone but themselves.

If I had my choice I would choose to be successful at football rather than basketball. I'm sure Can't and NIU fans feel about the same right now. To me it seems easier for a team to be ranked and make a BCS game, than make a run to the Final Four. We'd never make it to either, but for most mid-major's that would be the goal.

I watched that dunk a few times and just don't see anything wrong. Could have been something he said, but physically it only could have been hanging on the rim. The ironic thing was a Buffalo player had a similar dunk at the other end a few minutes earlier. Had a dunk, hung on for about 10 seconds longer than Zeke, got the and-1 call, and proceeded to yell something at one of the Akron players. Crazy after I think I've seen it all by MAC officials, they do something even more bizarre. But hey we won and I'm happy about that.

I was honestly rooting for Can't State, which I can say never happens. Next Saturday is still a must win game. I just hope we don't look past BG.

The bottom right technical foul happened tonight, on a Zeke dunk as he got fouled gotta love the MAC!

GoZips.com box score had attendance at 5403. UA better be careful with these big crowds, what are they going to do when our 3000 person arena is built?? Would be nice to see that the rest of the season. We have Ohio and Can't, so that's two more 5+. The others are CMU, BG, and Miami and probably won't get that. All depends on how long we can keep the season's "momentum" going. A loss will really hurt "Joe Akron's" excitement over Zips basketball. Also #ZipsGameday has been trending in Cleveland for quite some time...

Wake up Akron

Gonna need to make a run in the 2nd half. Hopefully Buffalo goes cold.

Never seen the Zips play this bad Doesn't help that Buffalo is shooting 99.9% from the field.
