Hey ya, Bill This Zips Women's basketball season has pretty much put me in a depression. It is such a shame what happened to Tecca, and the way the girls have lost recently is stomach numbing. Hopefully the can figure out how to win these close ball games without their star...which obviously will not be an easy thing to do!

Superstar is such an understatement. Lebron James is the NBA, people even call him KING Lebron, or KING James. Even with no rings, he is bigger than the league. It really is amazing just how good that guy is.

These two road victories is huge, Also, that is some pretty awesome Stroh magic there.

I'm listening to French, and he is also speaking poorly of the officials..

And why do you think the Army is against it?

He was probably just listening to Frenchy and Dunn. What problem I had was he had a hat on as well. He clearly did not look like a professional. It's not a huge deal but I would have liked him to show some respect towards his teammates and the program. A hat as well? Well, that settles it....someone call the cops. How is listening to music and wearing a hat not respectful to his teammates? Yikes, did it turn into the 1950s in here again? The fact that he is wearing a hat indoors is disrespectful. Do you not know anything about manners?

Something that I have noticed is that instead of going for the monster blocks at every possible moment, he has also backed away and settled for affecting the shot just with his presence. Their have been many occasions recently where he just put his hands up and the ball bounced off the rim.

Paul Winters is an Akron man, I think Akron should hire their own and I love the move.

1st paragraph That is the dumbest thing in the history of sports. Why would you play the other teams fight song? especially your rivals. That is straight up wrong. 2nd paragraphThe band does not do any of that now a days. All they do is gather at gazzette (sp?) play a small concert of sorts (in front of like nine people) then march to the football game. That's it, don't act like the 2011 band works so hard all day and is tired. They do nothing compared to what you mentioned. 3rd paragraphThat is rubbish. People DO NOT want to sit down in the student section because the band plays every single second that they possibly can. It is straight up obnoxious. 4 paragraphNothing you wrote applies to anything. You rambled on and on without making a single rational thought.EDIT: sorry for the double postAlso, you mentioned nothing about the band disrupting our chants. They have no since of the flow of the game or why the chants take place. They would rather just scream in the middle of them because its "funny"

Let me be more clear. I am sure that some band members do care about Akron sports, but I would be willing to bet most don't.

I have been a huge opponent of the band playing the other team's fight song since I made my way onto campus about a year and a half ago. You will all be shocked to find out that when I traveled to Ohio State and Cincinnati this year, neither band played the Blue and Gold. But, The band has now drifted into traitor territory. Yesterday, and I am would be willing to bet throughout this week and definitely next week, Akron's Band was/will be playing the Can't State fight song that you could/can hear all over campus. This is just simply wrong. We are rivals! Why is our band playing their song? Last week, when Akron almost came back to win, the band could have cared less. In fact, when the band director said, "alright guys lets go home" They all cheered and celebrated a lot louder than they ever do during the game. They acted like nothing on the football field happened. Then not to mention, the BAND LOVES to disrupt our basketball cheers. When we chant "lets go zips", the Band does some stupid crap that completely disrupts the rhythm (which is why we cheer, to help the offense find a rhythm). Oh, and by the way, you should not be taking up three quarters of the Rowdies student section. There is a huge label above that is marked with "BAND", why don't you sit there...where you belong? Stop playing the other teams fight song and stop acting like you give a damn about Akron sports.
