Records since Info opened 2009- 3-9 2010- 1-11 2011- 1-11 2012- 1-11 2013- 5-7 2014- 5-7 16-56 record in 6 years. What do you guys expect? Start winning and lets see what happens. Hopefully if Akron can turn things around and start winning, maybe we can start a little buzz around campus and the community and get more butts in the seats.

Since when is UA leaving? So what if there is odd amount teams.
-
Hope so, YSU was a long time rival of Akron's. Almost as much as Cant. It would be nice to renew the rivalry. Akron and YSU played for the Rubber Tire/Steel City trophy. Not sure who won it last. If UMASS leaves, why not add YSU.

You start winning and build a Winning Tradition, people would start taking notice. 14-16k would look nice in Info. If we can win a few MAC Championships and participate in bowl games, I think we would have a much better fan base.

Win and people will come. Too much losing = empty seats
-
We used to play MTSU and WKU in the old 1-AA OVC. The rest of the schools don't impress me, not much better than the MAC teams. Why not try for the Big Ten, hey Rutgers got in.
-
Seems these teams like playing musical chairs with hopping in and out of conferences every few years. They are always looking for that better deal.

UAB Likely Scuttling Football Program

There doesn't seem like there is not alot of stability in C-USA. Seems teams come and go on a yearly basis. Some of these newer conferences are very transient. I guess that is why I like the MAC, is that it has stability. -

It's fun to debate about what conference we should be in. Until further notice we are a MAC member, so maybe we should try to WIN games in the MAC a little more frequently, -

who cares about soccer. -
Old School guy. Go back to our regular blue and gold uniforms, with the gold helmet with our zippy emblem. Better yet how about winning games.

The MAC is a smaller Div.1 conference. We do get respect when we regularly beat big ten, ACC,(Pitt) and other bigger conference teams. We have had alot of big name pro's come out of the MAC, The MAC has been a long established conference, with most of its members being here for a long time. We were never big time conference, but I feel a respectful conference, that will beat the big boys once in a while. -

The MAC makes most sense with our geographic location. Natural rival Cant and all the other Ohio MAC schools makes more sense to me. I don't see Conference USA an upgrade. A lot more travel. Let's try to have a few winning seasons in the MAC and be able to play in a few bowl games, -
We have not won anything since 2005. People getting sick of always rebuilding. It's time to win now! There are many MAC teams who can turn things around in a year or two, why not us? I will give Bowden this year, but he better win next year.

Time for Bowden to produce, or he may be back on TV doing analysis. Losing to Can't State is a tough pill to swallow. No excuse for that.

Zips Need More Fans for New Arena
footballzip replied to Blue & Gold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
The U of A could put in the fold up back seats throughout the JAR, including the end zones. That would get rid of the bleacher wood seats. The end zone seats would remain the general admission seats. The fold up seats are much more comfortable and would make the JAR look a bit more official. -
Start winning and people will start jumping on the bandwagon.

Very proud and happy for the Zips. The program turned the corner. Nice to put the last three years behind us now. Great to beat Toledo and finishing the season on a high note. Time to recruit some quality players. With great facilities and finally some quality WINS, we should be able to bring in some good kids. I hope the staff recruits more in the Cleveland area. Haven't felt like this in a long time. Go Zips!
-
We'll take it. Couple road wins this year. Win is a win.
-
Toledo's tough. I think we will be looking at 4-8. Still a good year for what we have been used to the last few years.
-
I hope the program got over the hump. Huge win over our rival. Should help recruiting and bragging rights in our area. Nice to get the Wagon Wheel back. Good job Zips!

Terry's dad, remember that old Florida State coach.
