That's my fav. rule at Clubs/bars. It's great being over 21.

10X10 tent limit...breaking thatopen container...breaking thatgrill...yepbefore 7am...for first game try 7pm the previous day.after midnight...oh it will happen.Stupid rules if they are true.

Awesome stuff. First i've seen of some parts of the Info.

With those spelling skills you could have easily "gotton" into Can't.

I wouldn't call the baseball facility "awful" but it isn't top notch enough for a D1 big school like Akron. One thing that field does have is a glorious infield. Very smooth and very nice to play on.

spoken like someone who has never had Skyway.

Hey at least it seemed like a few of the posters had some common sense and realized that Akron was taking steps in the right direction.But i dont understand the hatred between Akron and OU. Athens is a fun place and it would have been awesome to go to school there. The only thing is, their Athletic program is in shambles due to having an idiot President and some other factors. Everything else OU related is pretty cool though, i always seem to have a good time going down there for games or just to visit. Hell it's WAY better than Can't (and most MAC/Ohio campuses), and isn't that all we should care about?

Florida Marlins new stadium webcamThis is neat, as much as i liked watching our stadium cams i would have really liked this. You can click the arrows and go back 15 minutes at a time to any point in time since they were set up. Pretty awesome.

Hey at least our number of fans on there is still not only more than Can't's but also more than their average attendance per home football game.

Never go back?

Exactly...thoughmaybe with a few big wins that can change. And then people will even "Fear the Roo" on the internets

Yes, damn those Adrian college bulldogs. Damn them right to hell.glad to see you're on board!

Please. Leave that hate for Michigan to the suckeye fans. I'd never root for anyone over Akron, but I don't hate Michigan anymore than any of the other Big 11 teams(except OSWHO, of course).They are a rival state that has 3 rival conference schools in it. Therefore due to them recruiting local talent because of their proximity, you should root against ALL Michigan schools.

We have nearly 4,000 fans now (only good enough for 10th in the MAC however)We are double Can't State in fans as well.But just to let you all know there are some cool new features such as a new version of the gameweek wall which allows Penn State/Akron fans to discuss the upcoming game. Also there is now gameweek trivia which is trivia pertinent to the upcoming game. So itwould be good to get some more Zips fans on there. And we keep saying we want to be a bigtime D1 football school, so we should start acting like one on the internet. So go on and post some trash talk or a prediction on the game. But go check it out, it's all pretty neat.Link to the gameweek wall

Hm, apparently you are ignorant to the screaming masses of the uneducated fools who consider themselves Buckeye 'fans'. Live in Ohio for about a decade...you'll quickly realize what I'm talking about. Sorry if the term "Buckeye country" made me sound like one of them. I can assure you, I'd rather root for Michigan(just out of spite).There is never an excuse to root for Michigan, Michigan State, or any of the "directional Michigans".

I think it truly is a combination of both. I think a perfect storm is brewing and if the football team can win 7 or 8 games this year and the basketball team can repeat something close to what it did last year then we may see the eye of that storm make landfall in Fall 2010. The Zips are indeed coming, and they are taking over "Buckeye Country" whatever the hell that is.

Just got back from where the Pavilion used to be down on the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC and had 2 separate cars drive by and yell "GO ZIPS!" to me (i'm wearing a "ROO TOWN This is your team" shirt). This is after drinking with a few Rowdies at the airport in Atlanta on my way down to Florida last week and also after getting a "GO ZIPS" yelled at me at Gatorland in Kissimmee, FL a few days ago. I know this doesn't sound like much but a few years ago i was lucky if i even got someone to ask me what the hell "Akron" was (and they would pronounc it "Eh-Kron") I dont know about you guys but i'm starting to get pumped for this fall sports season.(I'm on a bit of a road trip back to Ohio after flying down to Florida if you all are wondering.)

I'm excited for Schrock next year though personally. That's a great pickup, anyone who has seen him play will agree i'm sure.

Everyone seen this? (Ak Oldies Facebook page with stadium pictures)

It has been better in the past but we still have never had a real nice one stop place to buy Akron Zips athletics apparel. Anyone know why the store is so bare? Are there any plans for a store at a local mall? Anything?!!?

Yeah those jerseys are awesome. They always have great baseball jerseys too.link, photo gallery just like the lastbtw the "pinstripes" are actually words

Yes! Thank you for your service to our country!Yes! Unlike Can't people we wont throw bags of our urine or rocks at you. We actually appreciate a true American!

my beloved thread!! my baby

wow a liberal did something stupid and disrespectful....what's new?
