Being a Zips football fan/supporter is taking years off my life

Whats there to say questioning the dedication of this team

Hang in there everybody. It can only get better. Thank god for alcohol

This game backs up what i said last week. After last weeks loss the writing is on the wall. Any momentum and motivation we had after the Michigan game is now gone.

I expected more stability & consistency this season but still as of now I am left with not knowing what to expect next game in regards to a stable consistent running/passing game and defense. I can't name a MVP on this team right now

the nerve of you calling him an idiot when he is 100% correct. This loss is embarrassing. Its pretty sad when we start giving Sun Belt Conference teams a pass putting them above us. We caught the nation's attention last week only to go back to being embarrassed on our field this week. For the record I am a proud alumni and booster. But the truth is the truth. I am highly disappointed

Horrible 3rd down play call. Poor play calling in the Red Zone cost us the game today I put that on the OC who is the HC

Halftime: Akron Defense is playing Top 25 Ball holding the #12 ranked Wolverines to 7 in their house. Zips Offense is not rewarding them.

He caught the ball! We are driving

Defense is looking good

A tight end just out ran our team. Smh Bench #7

We can't afford to open up the season playing I-AA cupcakes Not when big schools are throwing us money to show up and be test dummies. Not to be harsh but thats reality. Can't State's Game Attendance tonight was 20,790 and they broke their own record of having more than 7,000 Students in attendance. Can't State was 7th in the Nation in attendance increase last year going from 11,587 avg per game in 2011 to 17,880 avg per game in 2012. Thats why they can afford to schedule I-AA cupcakes. I am a proud Zip Alumn but we have a lot of work to do in regards to getting come positive consistency on & off the field when it comes to this team and fan base

Currently drinking my Zips Sorrows away

In regards to VCU's play yesterday I believe their poor play had a lot to do with a lack of execution and not Michigan being more athletic than VCU. and do I fault VCU for running up the score on us? hell no The regular season is over. This is tournament play. This time of year coaches teach their teams how to play in one 1 gear. = Full Throttle to the end. You can't hate on that and if you do, you are a sore loser.

Akron now has the 3rd largest University in Ohio and enrollment is still growing about to surpass 30,000 so why suggest a new arena with only a capacity of around 7,000? Aim higher

shoot they got more bids than the ACC this year lol

True i agree with that but I also think them now playing in the A-10 alone helps their recruiting as the A-10 usually gets multiple NCAA Tourney bids. A record 9 A10 teams Are playing post season this year http://www.atlantic10.com/sports/m-baskbl/.../031713aab.html

And in regards to VCU being better and more athletic than Akron in my opinion I contribute that to VCU now playing in a better more superior conference. (A-10). The quality of play is leaps and bounds better than the MAC.

I came out of high school in Richmond VA and know a lot of people that attended VCU including my mom. VCU's success didn't happen overnight. Its been 15 years since VCU started putting a lot of focus on their basketball program. They opened up a new arena in 1999 that has a capacity of 7,617 at a cost of $30.1 mil. They currently have the 13th highest home court winning percentage in D1 and is arguably the toughest place to play in the A-10. Coach Jeff Capel jumped started the new era leading them to a 23-8 record and a trip to the NCAA as a #13 seed giving #4 Wake Forest a run for their money. At the height of his success Jeff Capel left and took the HC job at Oklahoma. (Recruited Blake Griffin) In comes Anthony Grant who led them to a school record 28 wins in his 1st year and the Eric Maynor (Best player in the school history) era begins. 2007 as an #11 seed Eric Maynor puts VCU on the national map single handily burying #6 seed Duke Blue Devils. The next round they took #3 seed Pittsburgh into overtime after coming back from 15 down. 24-10 in 2009 and another trip to the NCAA Tourney. Anthony Grant 76–25 record in his three seasons. Destroyed the CAA going 52-10. After the 08-09 season he left and took the job at Alabama. Then in comes Shaka Smart. Overall VCU had 2 great coaches prior to Shaka but during that time they were too cheap in regards to paying them. They almost lost Shaka but this time around the Alumni/Boosters and student body stepped up. VCU actually raised tuition to accommodate Shaka Smarts salary and the students overall had no problem with it. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/26283066/29566438

All this finger pointing is pointless to me especially the people that are questioning KD as the coach. My only beef with KD is the fact that we have like 7 guards on the team but only one guard who is of course no longer with the team can actually handle the ball. It absolutely makes no sense to have that many guards on the roster especially on scholarship and none of them can handle the ball. If we had a ball handler last nights score would look a lot better. Akron literally had no time to set up plays because damn near all their energy was used on getting the ball across the court. I've seen players in the UA Rec Center with better handles

Zac Jackson ‏@FSOhioZJackson Dambrot: Shaka has a job to do. His job is to get them ready for the next game. I take no offense to it.

now thats just a sore loser talking right there smh

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo VCU leads Akron by 42. The record for largest margin by a 5-seed over a 12-seed is 35 points.

They definitely deserve to be there They don't deserve whats happening to them right now
