Look what the Canadian's are up too

[plowerman78]

I know we have ou on wednesday, but look what those crazy canadians from ub are up to for what their calling their "revenge" game against the Zips on Sunday.. BUFFALO'S IN CANADA!!!

"First 500 students get a free tshirt"haha, can they even get 500 students at a game? Buffalo fans have to be the 2nd worst in the MAC when it comes to intelligence as well, i always think a Can't person is talking behind me when i hear them at the MAC tournament every year. Here's hoping we beat them soundly a few times in a row and just shut them up for good.

[Z.I.P.]

"Now with MAC play started it is time for UB fans to put their differences aside and bond as one"Good luck with your bonding, boys! By putting their differences aside, I can only think... those who want to remain Canadians, vs those who want to immigrate to the U.S.?I wasn't even aware that they were a rival of ours. I get a lot more hackles up when we take on EMU. Hate those HurEagles.

The zips shouldn't take the bulls lightly. Afterall, they are the best NCAA team in Canada.

That'll happen once the "Akron's in Ohio" chants stop. The Canada stuff was started in response to that.

I suppose when Akron is no longer in Ohio, it may stop.

From the guy that started the Canada thing, no offense but Ohio and New York are pretty much the same state if you take away NYC.

Hey, it's not me that takes offense to the Ohio chant, just stating facts, shouldn't bother you guys right? On to the game though, what's your team look like this year, simply looking at OOC records tells very little

They look like they will be about 5 point dogs to you fellows. Please have mercy on them. P.S. I love your bacon.

Buffalo fans should be pleased at how civilized Zips fans are with the mild and good-humored Canadian references. With a team nickname of the Bulls, it would be so easy for a less classy rival to go all scatalogical.

didn't think they hated us this much post #17 shows chuck norris kicking a kangaroo's head off...we'll see sunday...

It's pretty sad when your entire basketball season revolves around beating Akron! seems like thats the only goal for all MAC teams this year...sad conference

[Zipsrifle]

Wouldn't take this one lightly. Anyone remember the utter annihilation of Miami lead by the shock and awe of Steve Mcnees two years ago? I sure do. After the miracle shot in the MACC the season before, that beatdown was so satisfying.

[ZachTheZip]

Buffalo is obviously pumped up for this game. If we play like we did against Ohio, we'll lose.

[Quickzips]

To me this is the first big test for us in MAC play with the target on our back. Going on the road to the team that is probably our biggest threat at a repeat, a team with vengance on it's mind. Hostile crowd of mounties and elk. Veteran lead team with a decent amount of depth. If we pull this one out, I think we're in for a big season.

I disagree. UA smoked BG by 26 @ home. UB needed a last second shot to get out of BG with a win. The Zips had a lull in the part of the OU game adapting to the sudden loss of Roberts. The rotations will be a bit better sorted coming into this game, because they'll have an idea of what to expect from Roberts.If the Zips lose this, I think it will be very close. I do think it's possible the Zips could lay the hammer down on UB. It has the potential to be a real statement game. If the Zips continue to generate a big rebounding advantage and play the defense they're capable .. they'll be fine. UB doesn't bring any of the things to the table that give the Zips trouble, namely great one on one ball handling guards that can break down the defense, or long rangy perimeter players that are able to disrupt the Zips entry pass. The lineups are similar .. the matchups are similar. The Bulls just don't present the kind of problems that URI or A&M posed.I do like having this one and the OU and Can't State games on the road in the first East swing. I think the schedule favors the Zips down the stretch having 3 of 5 at home to finish up, including UB and Can't State who ought to be the other big contenders in the East.Go Zips! B) B)

I dont think this is going to be as close as everyone thinks. Though Canadian basketball is a much different style than what we are used to this should still be just a minor stop in the Jimmy Conyers show.

that article is terrible, 3-8 against ub since dambrot got here????????? since enrolling here at akron we have won atleast 5 times against Canada. Time to shut ub up GO ZIPS GET THE JOB DONE IN CANADA!!!

I think its a typo. Dambrot is 8-3 vs UB.

Since True Blue won't let it down, then neither will the AK-Rowdies, and since this is a big "rivalry" game today, I want to honor both teams and wish both good luck today. Couldn't make it since my passport expired...anyways, this is supposed to be just little raw-raw things between the students...if anyone feels offended,sorry...here we go..."It's time for the visiting team's national anthem."Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave(ZIPS)?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------"And now, your national anthem for your Buffalo Bulls."O Canada!Our home and native land!True patriot love in all thy sons command.With glowing hearts we see thee rise,The True North strong and free!From far and wide,O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.God keep our land glorious and free!O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.LET'S GO ZIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING HOME A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
