I was living in Gallucci in '86-- so great to finally be back to the dance. They looked great tonight-- just plain tough and determined.

ZippyforPresident Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't even know what to say at this very second.... Nate, congrats, and thank you... for everything..This team was picked to do nothing and was dead in the water in the first round... This was a result of nothing but grit, grit, and grit... My Akron undergrad years took place during basically ALL of the big Tourney upsets and NO ONE can take this away from us, and from me as well. I was at "the shot" and at the "Can't BS finals game" and this is now absolute insanity. I'm so lost I don't even know what to say. You guys did it, you freaking made it to the dance. THANK YOU!!!!. I was just an infant the last time this happened.. THANK YOU.. And I'm dead serious when I say this... Lets win the whole f@$%ing thing... NO ONE GETS OVER ON AKRON!!! WE CAN GET PAST ANYONE IN THE NATION! JUST BELIEVE! Thank you again. Tonight was so absolutely amazing, represent our city as it should be represented...The basketball capital of the world, the home of Lebron James and two of his amazing teammates... Do this thing for Rome and for Dru and Nick and Cedrick and WOOODY, as well as Goddard and Quade, do it for all of us... You guys can roll with anyone in the NATION and now, finally, we get the chance to prove it. The nation better get ready for the names McKNIGHT and LINHART, because you're all gonna know it soon...WE CHEER THE AKRON WARRIORS BOLD!

MDZip Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 2009 MAC Tournament All-Tournament Team MVP- Nate Linhart, AkronBrett McKnight, AkronSteve McNees, AkronMax Boudreau, BuffaloNate Miller, Bowling GreenI think this is terrific but before this tournament started there is no way I would have ever guessed McNees would be on this list (or for that matter Boudreau) but Steve absolutely earned it. Nik and Chris and Darryl - all-tournament 2nd team - my vote only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 WOW! That was awesome. I feel best for Nate. As they went through the All MAC Tourney team, they weren't calling Nate's name and I was really starting to get pissed cause this guy is the heart of it all. He TOTALLY deserved to be MVP!!!Normally, I pride myself on being a good sport but.....Hey Can't....put this in your pipe and smoke it!!!!MAC BB CHAMPS!! The dynasty has begun...you'll will be Akron's whipping boy for quite some time!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Valpo fan here...Congratulations on a great win! A dominant performance against a very good team. Best of luck in the Big Dance!Thanks to all the Valpo fans. That's a class gesture on your part. We all look forward to a good game in Akron next year, but it's sure nice to be awaiting an NCAA tourney matchup.It wasn't until the cutting down of the nets tonight that I recalled the same moment back in '86 at the JAR with Huggins squad doing the same after the victory of Kerry Hammonds and Middle Tennessee. What an incredible feeling it was then AND tonight! This year's team is special in so many ways. I don't think I've ever heard Steve French caught up in his emotions as I did tonight, while listening to the post-game wrap-up on the way home. Congratulations to the coaching staff, the players, and all who are a part of the day-to-day operations that support Zip basketball. It's been a long time coming, but we all suspect that this year's success is merely the proverbial "tip of the iceberg". Go Zips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
