I love it how peope on this forum rip on the Buckeyes at every opportunity they can. It's hard to find something positive to say about the Zips so they resort to ripping the Buckeyes. It' actually pretty sad. Screw the Buckeyes...i enjoy every moment they fail, almost as much as I enjoy when Can't fails (which happens a lot, yet never gets old ). What is wrong with that? Now i get the whole overdoing it on the Buckeyes thing (and please let's not start that again), but honestly, OF COURSE people are going to rip on another in-state team that might as well be considered a rival, that's what fan forums are for! I guess not all of us are sick and tired of having them shoved down our throats by sports fans who are compensating for their pro teams sucking sewer water by gang banging on a team 150 miles away. I understand it from OSU alum, by all means. But most of these people never sniffed a college classroom... Do you think that is unique in Ohio? Michigan, Tenneseee, West Virginia, Penn State,...the list goes on and on. I really don't care who likes and who hates OSU on this forum or any other forum. But I laugh at those who talk about rooting for OSU but not going there as some sort of big deal. Every state has their "flagship university" when it comes to sports. Way of the world. It's a school. If you went to Hoban would you root for St. V's? But hey OSU has their own mess of problems right now...so I will enjoy seeing their "fans" suffer

Want students at games? win it's that simple

I liked the video clip they showed right before Infocision....The Suckeyes getting scored on! hahahah

I agree about C-USA, but not A-10. Although they are a good basketball conference, we'd have to either drop down in football or become independent. There's no A-10 football...But sadly I see us in the MAC for a very long time...

I wish Temple and UMass could be brought on for all sports, instead of just football. Get rid of two of the weaker MAC schools then replace with more respectable programs.

Someone needs to edit Wikipedia. It still says Lee Jackson Field, not Cub Cadet field

Ummm...probably not. Look at the rafters of Beeghley Center. There isn't one men's basketball-related banner of any sort. I'm glad Penguin Guy is high from sniffing the coat-tails of a Bulldog, but let's be real...Youngstown couldn''t produce a decent basketball player, or team, if given a billion pounds of oily penguin food for a billion years. Please post more links to a team that would need to win 10 more games to get a CBI bid. haha didn't YSU only win like 9 games all year??? yes we had to go to overtime to beat them, but let's be honest our team didn't start clicking til midseason

Yes haha it was awesome! they showed one of the blonde girls from the dance team 2x before that as well Hope this link still works

Only Youngstown is like Detroit. Don't forget Erie, PA. What's wrong with Erie? haha it's a nice city

wait...Kyle Baumgartner is a woman, could have fooled me haha

does YSU even have a forum? haha

I'd say once you guys think of a name, call up the marketing dept and see if their graphic designer could make you a cool logo or shirts. They seemed to do a great job on the championship posters and it wouldn't hurt to try and ask...

Canada sucks anyway...Why would anyone want to play for a team that will never have a chance to win a world cup and is too busy playing hockey and drooling over losers like Sidney Crosby

Make a new group to get rid of the ak rowdies please

I'm going to complain because I can't get off of work to go to it tuesday. So now I don't know how I'm going to be able to know what happens/see it at it's entirety without paying for it or something... are you saying it's the athletic dept's fault for scheduling it in the evening? were they supposed to make it during the day or something?

the posters around campus say free hats, posters, autographs, pop, and chips....you guys have a lot to complain about

Hopefully Fred has some "intelligent" things to say. He's still mad because apparently the soccer Zips played 14 vs 11 all season...

That's the way I see it too. That's the same thing Cam Newton did, he transferred from Florida to JC, then Auburn. Safe to say things worked out well for him. But Moore is no Newton, sadly. The thing I was wondering about Moore, if you play in JC do you lose a year of eligibility? I assume you would. He was most likely red-shirted at Ole Miss, so how long will we have him?

Wow we are losing... get it together KD EDIT: well we are tied, but being tied to a team called Oral Roberts in the SECOND HALF is terrible

Any name or idea of what style of bar? Maybe a Hustler bar like in Cleveland?

I saw that. It was great. Thank you Men's Soccer! I missed that one, but did see a promo showing THIS year's College Cup finally (they were showing last year's final all fall). Not sure if it was Nanny or maybe Z carrying the ball. Hopefully I'll see it more times after this endless parade of crummy bowl games is over. BTW-- where did we finish overall last year? 24 pts for second in soccer, did we get any more? I think we finished with 24, the rest of our sports are kinda terrible

No doubt, it's something that should have been done by now actually. Lee Jackson Field at the Outback Pouch No "two named" stadium again haha I still get tired of hearing "Infocision Stadium - Summa Field"

Up until ten years ago or so, OSU didn't have very competitive admissions at all. Around that time, it was common knowledge that anyone who went to my old high school with a sub par GPA or better was a shoe-in at OSU. Of course, things have changed, but just about every school in Ohio has it's strong points. I agree that every universtiy has its strong points..im not trying to put anyone down. I just think OSU has probably the best overall university akzipper- I dont know..I could be wrong but I've never seen people around campus saying Akron sucks or anything like that. I think a lot of people root for them because they are an in-state team. Just like I root for the Bengals, Reds, and Cavs professionally. I do have a cousin who played for OSU who is currently in the pros (hartline). So I guess I do have a connection. But I dont think because you dont have a connection to a team, you cant root for them. Does that mean if you are from NE Ohio, you cant root for any professional team not from cleveland? Im curious to know who a lot of you rooted for while you were growing up. I honestly dont think it would be akron unless you had some sort of strong family connection to the university. Im from the ohio valley where the closest big city is pittsburgh(who i hate in all sports), so i dont really understand. OSU is not a pro team. It is a school, I don't go around calling myself a St. V's or Hoban fan just because they are good or because I live in Akron. I'm a fan of my High School. Growing up I would root for several colleges, never OSU. But I based it on which schools I wanted to attend when I got older. Now being a part of UA, I am a Zips fan. That's where I got my education and the place I can call "my school." OSU fans like to claim it as their school even if they didn't go there, which is annoying. Their excuse is "I've been a fan since I was a kid", well okay but once you attend a college such as Akron, OU, BG, Toledo, or even Can't, you should stand behind your school. I get sick and tired of hearing all this "Akron's not real college sports" crap from people in Ohio, even UA students. I don't need to be sitting in my dorm listening to idiots screaming after OSU beat the Zips a few years back. Thankfully we brought home a National Championship this year, which hopefully won't happen in Columbus any time soon. So we have bragging rights even if it is "just soccer." My problem with OSU is not their students or alums....but bandwagon fans and UA students rooting for OSU.

I just don't see how people can root for a school they have no connection to. I'd say 99% of Suckeyes fans have never attended a class there and just root for them because they are good. What does that make them? a bandwagon fan. Most are annoying and loud mouths, who wear their stupid red and grey crap around campus laughing at people who root for Akron. Oh well we brought home a National Championship this year, and OSwho has not.

too bad we are actually a cupcake
