Dave in Green Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Back to reality. Apparently the Zips great winning streak was nothing but an illusion when it comes to OU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right...there is no way this is coincidence now. Just mind blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZip0510 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 We're about to find out a lot about this team. They just got beat by OU in every facet of the game, and now have an incredibly difficult road matchup at Can't left, one that will surely have a hostile atmosphere and slanted officiating...let's see how they respond.

Four of us are heading over against my better judgement. Many a wretched drives home from that place over the years. I wonder if CK made the trek to Athens. If so, can't wait to read his take - long way to go for that mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 With Can't beating BUGS tonight, Zips can no longer catch Can't. The chances of getting a bye are growing dim. Zips basically have to beat Can't and have Miami beat OU to earn the #4 seed. It may also be possible for the Zips to get the #4 seed if Miami loses to both Buffalo and OU. But the Zips are really going to have to suck it up big time to come back and beat Can't on the road. Otherwise, it's back to the JAR one more time.

Last week I was planning on making the drive down tonight, but I came down with the flu a couple of days ago so didn't make the trip. Man, am I glad I got the flu!

If Buffalo were to come away with the win, then a win on Friday at Can't would guarantee the Zips a 4 seed because the OU-Miami game would eliminate one of those two from the top four. Game tonight is on STO I believe. Still a shot for the Zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 What seed should I hope for so we won't have to play OU early in the tourney? Because that's the seed I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem101 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 What seed should I hope for so we won't have to play OU early in the tourney? Because that's the seed I want. Do the Zips have the tiebreaker over Miami? If they do, the best case scenario would have Miami losing to both Buffalo and OU. Then the Zips beating the Flushes. This would drop the Redhawks to 5 seed. Zips would have the four and a bye. OU would move up to three and we wouldn't have to face them until the finals.

OZoner Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 You need to win Friday, for Miami to lose both games this week, and Western Michigan to win the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 You need to win Friday, for Miami to lose both games this week, and Western Michigan to win the West. Not likely, but what are we all worrying about? We still could stomp out Can't and have a great time Friday, then get the privilege of one more home game! I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't mind the Zips getting a little warm-up cupcake to beat down on Tuesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely, but what are we all worrying about? Tournament time is my favorite time, I want it to see my team in the tournament as long they can. It seems to increase my enjoyment. Like I said before the game, I would like to avoid OU for as long as possible, they seem to have our number. That is one of the few things that is worrying me right now.

RootforRoo44 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Id expect a video link closer to game time. Wish more schools did this.I just wish Akron did it. Ask the AD if it's possible, and see if you get the same response I got. What kind of response did you get? Got a response today about my question regarding the video feed: My question: Why do countless schools have no trouble doing a free video feed but we can't even get a pay feed to work correctly? To be honest, I can answer this question for you: UStream.tv Answer: Mike: Thanks for the note and I share in your frustration. You've hit on one of the biggest issues that I've heard about since I've been here. We are in the process of creating a new www.gozips.com (potentially with a new partner). I promise you this will get better in the future. Appreciate your support and Go Zips! Tom btw, he CC'ed my answer to two other UAkron employees.

ZachTheZip Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good question. Good answer. My experience is that you need to be specific when dealing with people who effect change at a high level. You can't just ask "Why does this thing suck!? Make it better!" and expect them to be able to know what needs fixing. The problem is that he's been here just over one year and it takes more time than that to change the technology we use because it's too deeply embedded into the way our gozips.com is constructed. It requires a complete overhaul. The reason the Horizon League network can do what they do is because they set it up right the first time. We did not, instead choosing to use Windows Media Player as our content delivery system. We did take a good step forward by putting our recorded content on Youtube, a much more reliable and universally accessible system than what we had, but it just doesn't have what we need to stream games live. The way gozips.com is currently coded is archaic and convoluted (just look at the stream of junk for any of the page URLs and you'll see what I mean. We're using .dbml pages? Seriously?). It takes a change at the most basic level before we can bring in better streaming media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
