GP1 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I took the most lucky woman in the world, Mrs. GP1, to The Palm and had a vodka and tonic for a cocktail. Followed that with a caesar salad and then engulfed a blackened rib eye with sauteed mushrooms and a bottle of Markham cabernet. Then I topped it all off with a couple of beers. And then........For those of you who are actually able to have fun and celebrate winning, how did you celebrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1719 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I reminded the locals that there is no football team, at any level, within 1000 miles, that can touch my Zips! Lol, it's true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissing the best sports program the Zips have is not what you intended, right? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Shadyside and am a student at Carnegie Mellon. Private message me if you don't mind. It would be great to host a Zips watching event here in Pittsburgh.

I went to my first soccer game last year (not UofA) and the coach could have slept for the enitre game for all I could tell. Sorry, I just don't care for the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I simply wore my Zips gear proudly every place I ventured while visiting my family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!where bouts in Pittsburgh?We could have some common ground here.When I was born we lived in Morningside, and when I was 5 we moved to Crafton. I went to Canevin (now goes by Bishop Canevin) High School before attending UA in 1979. There were VERY few non-athletes from PA attending UA at that time. I settled in the Akron area after graduating with an engineering degree in 1984. But I still get back to my mom, two brothers and a sister in the Pittsburgh area. My mom still lives in the same house in Crafton, also the hometown of Bill Cowher BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips Win! Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 After having a beer to celebrate, I stopped in at the first church I passed in Ypsilanti and said a hail mary for having our prayers answered on Saturday.How long did it take JD to design that play? Only in Zipland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought this was a great topic...I just never got a few free minutes to respond.About 6 years ago my wife and I were in Arizona, with ZERO access to any game information aside from the ESPN TV scroll/ticker. We were following the Miami/Akron score closely...and at games end the Zips WON! We went to a fancy local grocery store...got some nice wine and cheese to celebrate the win against the sweaters...man, we had a nice night. Until about 10pm, when the score ticker suddenly showed we'd lost?? WTF?! I called my buddy and he said "...you won't believe it..." It was the "Big Ben" game where we batted a pass into the Miami receiver's hands for a TD on the game's final play. Man, that sucked. In hindsight, at least I got to celebrate for a few hours.Fast forward to 2008 -- I was on a flight from Arizona and missed the entire EMU game Saturday. I got home and saw we'd won 42-35. Before deciding on a celebration plan, I check the score several different time! Apparently it was true?!As a starter we had an always-excellent Paraduxx Red. My son got whatever can of pop he wanted. (mugs of root beer).Had some Heinen's crab/shrimp/salmon cakes, some nice cheese and crackers...a little Port to finish it off...it was a good night. Too many people get pissed because we didn't win like we were supposed to...or didn't win by enough...or only won because the opponent gave it to us on a silver platter. You take a win any way you can get it. The MAC always has bizarre endings. Just expect it and enjoy it. Enjoy seeing the Zips winning score scroll across the national sports TV screens all evening.I guarantee the Miami fans don't grouse about their luck in getting that ricochet TD pass...nor do they whine about the bank shot that beat us in hoops...so when it's time for the sun to shine on the kangaroo's butt for a change, you gotta enjoy it. :cheers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
