w00t Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 How the heck can they do this? Play it at Crew Stadium, play it in Bloomington, play it in Florida, play it anywhere but on the home field of a team we were seeded ahead of.I can not believe this. Hopefully Caleb is lobbying hard to get this changed. Quote
w00t Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Posted November 26, 2008 And for the love of god it's only Wednesday, is Lee Jackson permanently damaged? How the heck do they know what kind of shape it will be in four days from now? Quote
GoZips88 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I'd be half-tempted to tell the NCAA to go ____ themselves for this one. NO way that game should be anywhere near Chicago. Why are they also telling us to forget about a possible round 4 home match???? Quote
w00t Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Posted November 26, 2008 I've never been so irate in my life. Quote
GoZips88 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I am sitting here in absolute disbelief. I feel like I did right after Penno hit 'the shot.' I just about want to throw up. Mack and Chryst had better be raising hell right now. Quote
joshgozips Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 I don't want to try to sound optimistic at all about this situation...but maybe we can think about this...Now that the NCAA has screwed us over...LET'S GO WIN THE WHOLE FLIPPIN' THING! Let's REALLY tick everyone at the NCAA off by doing THAT!This week Evanston...next week the North Pole...and two wins in Frisco, Texas...or the Moon since Frisco is too close to Akron!Let's just go wherever those idiots at the NCAA want us to and KICK BUTT!!!

w00t Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Posted November 27, 2008 Oh, and it's Thanksgiving weekend... guess how much flights to Chicago cost. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 T his is such bullshit. They should just boycott it and say if they dont put it on at least a neutral field then F off. Quote
RowdyZip Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 Can anyone come up with an email address to send up a complaint? If you're a Zips fan, you should be sending one out. This is a SEVERE injustice to a quality program. Quote
GoZips Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 If this screw job is for real (I still do not see any official posting) then Mac and the University betterget several buses (free to students) at low cost to fans and bus our asses over to Illinois.DO NOT LET THE BASTARDS AT THE NCAA GET AWAY WITH THIS ACT OF "sportsmanship".

GoZips88 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 With all due credit to whoever created middle-finger Zippy a while back ... a modified version with NCAA b-ball/NIT logos removed and NCAA generic logo inserted ... Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 It will be too late by then, but those of us that receive Fox Soccer Channel should ALL call into Fox Footbal Fone-In next Monday night at 8:00 pm to raise the awareness of this absurdity. Quote

I have a feeling that this move is partially motivated by the NCAA wanting to remove the ROWDIES from the soccer equation. OSU's coach friggin HATES us, and you all know that their school and conference (which this move directly benefits) has plenty of pull within the NCAA.I guarantee you that the fan behavior rules in the NCAA handbook will change next year as a result of what we have done with noise makers and signs in the regular season.

GoZips Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 We need to contact as many news venues as possible. I have already called two.Phone numbers and e-mail addresses: WEWS TV5 216-432-3700 baskin@newsnet5.com NCAA offices (closed until Monay, how convienent) 317-917-6222 MAC offices Chryst has no listed number, BUT, the deputy commissioner does Bob Gennarelli 216-566-46222 (x308) WOIO TV19 216-771-1943 rminnaugh@woio.com WKNR 216-578-0850 or 888-SAY-ESPN web site: sportstalkcleveland.com WTAM radio 216-642-4636 (this one works) mikesnyder@clearchannel.com Quote
RowdyZip Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 Before I send out a million emails...The gozips.com story has been edited, no longer citing the game being at Northwestern. What is going on here? Quote
MRasor0200 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 It's not official. Check out the blog.www.ohiomm.com/blogs/zips Quote
GoZips Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 Northwestern thinks its official.Northwestern Web Site Quote

RowdyZip Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 I'm not gonna say *phew* yet...but...*phew* Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 It's not official. Check out the blog.www.ohiomm.com/blogs/zipsYea, but move it to our OPPONENT'S FIELD!? That's what I don't understand. It's an earnable task, and we earned it they didn't. Quote
Guzijeff Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 What a load of shit. There are so many places they could play. In addition to St V's, John Carrol and BW have turf fields set up for soccer. I would imagine there are lots of places with grass fields also that should not be as torn up as LJ since they have not been played on lately (like, just about every HS in Stark County). Damn, even Medina HS out my way has turf. Moving the game to Chiicago is utter shit. So, say they beat Northwestern, does that mean they go to UIC or UNC to play? Absolute SHIT! Quote

Absolute SHIT!Lake High School, 15 mins south of Akron has Field Turf that meets the field requirements for a soccer match. The game should be in Ohio not freaking Chicago!!!! This is absurd! MAC Offices, get your head out of your asses and do something! Quote
