  2. Zips vs. Can't State

    Alright I've been home for a while and will try to give an unbiased account of what I saw.NcNees fouls Q in the corner, Q shoves Mcnees hard at the end of the foul (Technical Foul). Milum shoves (Technical Foul) Q away from McNees, which excalates the whole thing. The Can't students begin throwing whatever they have at the Akron players, including towels, water/soda bottles, coins, and other things. One elderly Can't fan in the front row across from the students got hit right in the face with what looked like a full bottle of water (Lawsuit). She received medical attention in her seat. Can't fans can say Akron has no class as much as they want, but their behavior was completely unacceptable. Every cheer they have includes a work that begins with F and ends in CK. Throwing things at the opposing team, and in the process, drilling your own fans (classless, and no accuracy).It's fine to love your school and team, but when you start endangering the safety of the opposing team and their/YOUR fans, that's just pathetic. If the tables were turned and the AKRowdies had done this, I'd be equally ashamed, probably more.As for the officiating, I had a bad feeling what happened was coming after halftime. Akron couldn't look at a Can't State player the wrong way without getting a foul. It's hard to then play defense for fear of racking up even more fouls. The refs were BAD both ways, however. The game had zero flow because of it. It'll be interesting to see how the media reacts to the Can't fan's behavior. Will they ignore it, briefly mention it, or actually shed light on what happened. My guess is the first one...It'll also be interesting to see the Can't Athletic Department's reaction. Lord knows they need to do something, tonight was a PR disaster (students hitting the elderly with bottles).

    Wow! What a night!We went from a 23-19 defensive festival to a 41-19 halftime bitch-slapping! I LOVE IT!I sat and chatted with a relative (uncle I believe) of Brett McClanahan for a while before the game, the family had made the trip up from Charleston. It was his first game in the JAR and afterwards was smiling from ear to ear. He picked a good night to come up!Also, props to my alma mater Mogadore for not only singing the national anthem, but sitting in the north end student seats and being loud and into the game!
