I gave mine away to my students. But I'll wear the button I purchased.

Can some of our more photoshop savvy members make up some "Beat the Buckeyes" or unique our logo over OSU's logo images that we can snag? Would be super sweet.

I think this is the best opportunity the Zips could have gotten considering we lost the MAC championship. GO ZIPS! I'm more excited about this match-up than I am about any NCAA match-up. Beat them by 1, beat them by 100...I don't care. Just win the dadgum game!
-
The NCAA is an absolute joke. Why do we even bother.
-
4/4 on that leaked one. Yup we're out.
-
On CBS when they announced Buffalo they said "FIrst team out of the MAC"...do they know something we don't!?!?!? (I'm kidding...but seriously, why are announcement programs two hours long!?)

When was Elton Alexander right about anything?

Bulls vs Zips @ the Q - March 12th at 7:30
Balsy replied to Blue & Gold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
The problem with all sports media, is that they're never held "accountable" for their predictions. Now, I don't mean in terms of job security...sports is supposed to be all in good fun, but fans continue to read the garbage put out there even though it has a very low predictive value, and is hardly ever accurate. -

What a joke. You lose the most important game, the only game of the season that really matters...to a team you beat twice in the regular season. -
Strike Authorization Vote Imminent at U of Akron
Balsy replied to Spin's topic in General UA & Campus Discussion
Who was fear mongering? -
That makes no sense. Why would the faculty threatening give leverage to absorbing ITT Tech? I don't see the connection...or the advantage. The absorption of ITT Tech would face the same criticism irregardless of contract negotiations.

Strike Authorization Vote Imminent at U of Akron
Balsy replied to Spin's topic in General UA & Campus Discussion
I'm glad everyone is abstaining from talking about the negotiations of a union and it's employer. It's very unfortunate that all to often there is a climate of distrust between the two parties, that usually leads to confrontation rather than compromise. I would like to point out in this context, however, that if teachers go on strike it is not the teachers hurting the students, it's the institution that is. -
His original comment still applies, even with this added information.

This is the year. Go Zips.

Grad assistant Brett Ekkens promoted to OL coach
Balsy replied to ZachTheZip's topic in Akron Zips Football
I love the DW13 shoutout there. Let's hope the new #13 will replicate those numbers. -
Let's make it a great final game for Reggie and Jake. And let's hope the Zips follow that up with a tremendous showing in Cleveland next week. Go Zips!

Wow...Zips really REALLY live by the 3. 20 3's is ridiculous. 60pts from beyond the arc. As much as I like it, we really need to work on the inside game...get some more of those layups.
-
Agreed. I'm mostly saying that won't be 5000+. Probably hovering around 4300-4400 would be my guess. Students have the added incentive of a tuition giveaway to be there. Student attendance was higher at the BGSU game I noticed.
-
Zips 73-62. It will not be a full house, 8pm start will take a toll.
-
So basically the unifying thing behind UA's woes is the BOT. That's the problem with political appointees, they suffer from groupthink virus. No. But UA is so clueless they might, and it'd make the ABJ frontpage because of the 0 people who attended whatever game it was to avoid getting them.

Education is not a business. And therefore this argument is completely useless. ITT Tech is a prime example of what happens when Education takes on too much of a business model. Fraud, and garabage educational quality. Just look at most charter schools in Ohio; basically amount to stealing tax-payer money and providing garbage. It's nice to know that my alma-mater is confirming what everyone already thought of it: Hill-Top High.
