The common denominator is Akron needs to win.
If we win = fans will come.
Nobody wants to sit out in the cold and watch mediocre football.
Aside from not producing a winning program on the field our merchandising department still SUCKS.
It would be nice to go into the team store and be able to buy a Akron Zips Jersey of any sport vs having to buy from a student athlete selling their apparel under the table on Ebay or buying fake jerseys from dhgate made in China.
I once emailed the AD asking about buying a pair of Lebron's Akron Zips colorway shoes the basketball team wears. I Told him I was also willing to add a donation on top of the purchase. Was pretty much told no. I Went right to ebay and got them. I would rather my money go to the University but the powers that be fail to see the bigger picture smh.
@ZipsEquipment is my favorite Twitter Handle in regards to Univ Athletics on social media. Whoever runs that handle does a great job even though it irks me seeing merch us fans can't have.
