This Zips team just might be for real.And I see a lot of empty seats. Where are the fans?

Nope they just teased us for a half and let us down as usual. Oh well maybe next year we can finally beat a top 40 team.At least

I'd like to thank akronzips71 for the typed equivalent of "scoreboard". I blame you.

Being old and not "from" Akron I have no idea what you just said.Could you translate that for the benefit of a senior citizen (the last time I saw a Zips game in person it was Len Paul, Larry Quarles and Larry "Jinx" Jenkins on the court). And Danny Ruff and Jack Beidelmann on the girdiron.

He's saying you jinxed the Zips by observing early in the game that the Zips were for real, when they were up.

Hey 71, Don't feel bad. You may be too old to understand an incomprehensible phrase, but unlike these young whippersnappers you realize that if this years bball team had anyone as good as Leonard Paul we would have beaten RI. Don't even get me started on Beidelmann. He was a magician on the fball field.

YAY another old guy!Yup, those were the days, sort of. Being an independent in Div II sucked, but we did have some fun losing to Terry Bradshaw and Earl Monroe!But for the record, I think this team will tear thru the MAC if they can just get more consistent. It looked (on the crappy Akron ISP network) like they were shocked they were ahead and tried to get too cute with their passes, which you can not do with a team of this caliber.If they had Jinx Jenkins in the backcourt.......Len Paul, I saw him match up against Bruce Smith of Buffalo and he went pro, eventually became a Knick.

I was in Memorial hall to watch Winston Salem play the Zips. I dont remember the exact number, but we held the Pearl to about his season average (around 52).

How do we get an "old guys" forum, mods?

We've got one .. and it's been collecting dust for years.

On a tangential point...ZipsNation is a diverse place. Men and women ranging in age from 10 to 70+ participate. If you are presently a UA undergrad, you have a totally different perspective than one who graduated in the 80's. Not that one is better than another...just that the glasses people see things through are different.As an '89 graduate, I think it is incumbent on me to keep younger participants abreast of the history I know. They won't get it through The University. Hell, we get an entirely new Athletics administration every 5 years.Mike Waddell is the only recent UA athletics administrator that actually cared about the U's history. That's why the former great coach's pics adorn the JAR walls, and Eric McLaughlin's jersey is rightfully in the rafters.Hard to believe "RowdyZip" is now an "old guy?" Seems like only yesterday that he and Bleacher Bum were whupping it up in the student section?
