IT'S GO TIME

Akron plays Can't State in the MAC Championship Final and I am ready to go. I want this game. I want it so badly.

I will not sit down, I will not be quiet, and I will not allow the other side to deter me in any way. And I will do so knowing that thousands of Zips fans will have my back. When Can't State dunks, I will not quiet, but instead I will begin a LETS GO ZIPS cheer to get our players into an offensive rhythm. When we miss a shot I will not look dejected but instead I will be screaming DEFENSE at the top of my lungs to help my team. I will not be like the Can't State fans were tonight against Ball State, waiting for something good to happen before cheering. It's my duty as someone who cares about the Zips to help my team in any way I can and the best way I can is to stay noisy and keep their heads in the right place.

We will not be deflated. We will not be defeated. We are Akron.

LETS GO ZIPS!

We all know what the key to this one is going to be. Limit Can't's perimeter players effectiveness off the dribble. They are not a good outside shooting team, but when they start breaking you down off the dribble they are tough to beat. They keep 3-4 guys on the floor who can break you down off the dribble at all times. If you let them drive the ball into the lane you will never beat this team. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some more zone tonight from the Zips.

Bring it !! And hope for a huge crowd. If you recall, 3 years ago the noise in that place was still disappointingly low for the Can't-Akron game because that place is so huge and cavern-like when the top level is empty.

it's 8:23am and

And Can't State still sucks!

Justin Greene really struggles against Zeke. Zeke absolutely must be able to stay on the floor tonight.

Porrini also had a monster game last night against Ball SUck.

If we can 1) keep Zeke on the floor to frustrate Greene & 2) contain both Porrini & Rodriguez Sherman we'll win the game.

Amen, brother.

As a side note, did anyone see the Can't fans last night? Every time STO gave a shot of them, it was a bunch of old goofballs, many of whom were sitting on their arse. I wouldn't be surprised if Akron brings many more students to the game tonight.

Win or lose, let's show up these quasi-"I brought my OSU shirt with me in case we lose"-Can't State fans.

Actually, I also noticed that last night. The average Can't State fan is old. And most of them are fat. Literally. No insult meant here; simply an honest observation. Weird. Probably a Portage County thing?

:lol: I noticed the same thing. Those black squirrels must be high in trans fat.

Now let's see how many Can't grads know what trans actually means. :D

Pinnacle Sports has Can't by 1.5. I think we are fairing pretty well on that considering this is a #6 seed v. #1 seed. However, I wonder if the line is always going to be closer with mid major schools when not as much is known about them.

I listened to WNIR on way home from game last night, and they were actually talking about Can't like they were an NBA team. And then this classic question from their second announcer: "Would you rather have Chris Singletary or Michael Porrini walk down a dark alley with you?" Nice stuff, there.

That's the over/under. Line is currently OFF. I'm dying to know the line, I have a bet with a Ken+ fan on who will be favored.

If that's the O/U, then why are the other games all single-digit?

Did you read what I wrote? The line was OFF, so they posted the o/u. There is a line now, Ken+ favored by one & a half.

Please no complaining about the refs, win/lose. We all know they suck, but they suck both ways and we look like a bunch of crybabies.

Coming soon for 2012, the official complain about the refs thread. Hijacking game posts needs to be cleaned up.

If tonight's game is more tightly contested, the noise level should be louder.

Again, I only touch on the subject when it's especially bad.

Like this thread's name. IT"S GO TIME! So freaking pumped! Even though I was pulling for Ball State last night, the thought of beating Can't to go dancing is incredible. Honestly, I haven't been this pumped up for a sporting event since December 12, 2010. :NCAAC: Exactly three months ago today. Go Zips!!! :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks:
