GoZips Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I have you guys winning the East this year. Don't make me look bad. The kiss of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZoner Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have a better track record than the media poll! I had Toledo in '07 and that other school in '08. Missed the last two years and not feeling good about this season, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Coach still has to design the game around the players he has, but it was an impressive outing against the NIT champ at their arena. We have nothing to be ashamed of. GREAT game by Nitro. Euton is going to be a star. Zeke showed some nice bball moves - shooting and some IMPRESSIVE passing. This is going to be a very good year. Though a bit premature, I'd like to agree but I think we take some lumps along the way. This, more than any other season, depends highly on the development of our freshmen and Diggs. Now that Brett is gone, we need the newcomers to provide us with some significant depth. If that does not happen, we will be unhappy campers come March. I do suspect that it will happen and we'll be playing good ball late in Feb. and March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I know I'm jumping the gun a little. Sue me I'm excited. I remember KD saying something like, I'm paraphrasing here, "we aren't good enough to play a tough schedule yet" I'm wondering if next years schedule will be an indication of how good he thinks our team is.

Hilltopper Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 DrZ.....it's a building process for crying out loud...... And so is everything else in life. Its why I prefer college basketball over the NBA. The constant turnover of players, with none staying more than 5 years. Every season a new mix of players trying to build towards one goal, a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 For the original poster who thinks this game is an indication that we'll be a VERY good this year, who knows. If Dayton is a VERY VERY good team, then I think it's fair to make that early assessment. There were times in the first half when they looked like they'd blow us out. Did Dayton just go to sleep in the 2nd half? Or, we're we actually good enough to be that close to beating them? Time will tell. Shaking my head at this comment. Dayton was tough as nails the entire game. There was no sleep walking, meandering or other such nonsense. Confined to the rafters, us few and very cramped Zips fans who ventured to Dayton in the stretch limo (I'll NEVER do that again) can attest to the fact that Dayton never once let up off their go pedal. Dayton just had way too many bigs for the Zips. Their overall athleticism did the young Zips in. I read in the Dayton News this morning that one of their star players commented that they were a young team just learning each other. Baloney, Dayton started three seniors, one a first team All-American in Chris Wright, and two juniors. If that's youth, I'm a coocoo clock. If Chris Wright is a first team All-American you're a frisbee. Edit: you should have come down and sat with the 20 or so Zip fans behind the bench. Several seats were available. Right before the game one guy who I don't believe had a ticket came down, showed his Akron shirt, and joined the group. Evidence is building to support assertion that GoZips is not a frisbee. http://gmine.blogspot.com/2011/03/10-mens-...ence-teams.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey look! I started this thread back when, and we won the MAC and are going to the dance. Anyone want tonights winning lotto numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey look! I started this thread back when, and we won the MAC and are going to the dance. Anyone want tonights winning lotto numbers? That's all well and good, but GoZips has been wondering for 3 and a half months now whether or not he's a frisbee and anything I can do to ease his anxiety, I'm going to do. Watching the Flyers get waxed on TV right now reminded me of GoZips! Ke.nt vs Dayton would be an entertaining NIT game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
