Zipsrifle Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I didn't really know the rivalry until:2003. Huge, HUGE preseason hopes for me! THIS WAS THE BREAKOUT YEAR!!!! I my memory serves me correctly; both Akron and Can't were supposed to contend for the MACC that season. First game of the season for both schools, 27,000 at the Rubber Bowl....the Atmosphere was Electric! Give and take, back and forth all game, it was a battle. It's late in the 4th, Akron seemingly put the dagger in the flushes, scores a TD to go up by 14. Cribbs takes them down the field.....TD. Akron up by 7 , less than 4 minutes left in the game.Akron....3 and out...Cribbs takes them down the field.....TD. Tie game, just over a minute left.....Akron.....3 and out....0:34 left...Cribbs takes them down the field....I'm sitting in the endzone section....Can't lines up, last play, a 40 yd fieldgoal, for the win...Nails it......I know this may sound crazy, I was just a fan sitting in the stands, but it was without a doubt, the single worst sports loss EVER for me. I was devastated, CRUSHED and really, really, REALLY MAD. I think I sat in the stands for like 15 minutes just holding my head in my hands...looking at the ground, how could this have happened!?!?! I was fuming for days after that loss. From that day on....this was THE rivalry for me. From that day to today, I have honestly hoped that Can't would lose every game it plays in every sport for the rest of time.....right there with the Baltimore Ravens. Yesterday, I figure there were a few Can't fans that learned what this Rivalry is about. It's too bad some of you guys haven't had the passion for the Zips to figure it out because there have been SEVERAL times over the past 6 years that I have had the same feeling. The Loss to Can't at the MACC center in 2008 and the Loss to Can't at the Q when I was sitting next to two, ridiculously obnoxious Can't fans who were literally yelling and laughing in my face every score as we laid a huge egg. I really hope that yesterday, we ruined the Golden flushes chance at a bowl.....they deserve the misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
