VAZip

Living in Richmond (vcu territory) with a daughter at Akron I think I get a clear perspective. winning a few tournament games means everything. VCU has been selling out their 7500 arena for several years now. The level of teams when they were in the CAA is no better than the MAC. Personally I don't think VCU has anymore talent than the zips...tho they do have excitement. Speaking of excitement...I have to view most games on line and due to the crappy digital feed I only see half a game between buffering, but it appears to me that most fans at the JAR are sitting down with head in hand. What's up with that! I drove 6 hrs to see the zips at coastal Carolina and the student section was SRO and the rest was full. Noise was not a problem...especially in overtime. GO ZIPS

Became a big ZIP fan when my daughter left for UA, 400 miles from home. Love everything about the school, except what drives this issue. The place is a ghost town on the weekend. Even the students that choose to live on campus probably live within an hour of home. Virtually everyone is a commuter in some form. Why latch on to the college spirit thing when your probably still attached to your high school 20 min away. As for me....I drove 8 hrs to see the ZIPS play Coastal Carolina. First chance to see them and loved it. GO ZIPS
