Z-Pouch Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 Poll LinkIt's only 3 but you have to start somewhere. Big game down in Athens to lay claim to MAC frontrunner and additional poll votes. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 1 vote in the coaches poll as well.Time to go out and have a strong week. Quote
zip37 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 When Huggins was coach, is the only possibility I can think of, certanly not with Rupert, Crawford, or Hipsher.WBALAL . Quote
RobC2 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 I've been following closely since the near-end of the Crawford era. To my less-than-omniscient knowledge, I don't believe we've EVER received a SINGLE vote before. Go Zips!!! Quote
Zip Watcher Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 The only real possiblility I can imagine is back during the year of the quitters. That season, they started the MAC season 8-1 and were running away with the league until they took a crap mentally and finished 3-7 in their last 10 games.Outside chance there was a vote there, but I'm guesing and talking out of my GoZips! Let's get another at the Convo. And get some help from Miami. Quote
JP Morgan Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 You both are correct, I believe it was the 1996-1997 season when we knocked off Toledo (who at the time was like 10-0 or 12-0) we got a few top 20 votes (we were like 8-2 or something). Can't find it anywhere on the net but I'm pretty sure that we got a few top 20 votes then. Too bad the team tanked! Quote
Zip Watcher Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 JP, you might be on to something, but we're talking about 2 different seasons. The team that knocked of Toledo (ranked 17th? at the time) was Ball's sophomore year (Bosley's first) I think. The quitters were 2 years later. Quote
TheIcon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 I am almost positive that we received votes while I was in school. Tarver was on the team. We lost to North Carolina and I think Cincinnati that year when they were ranked high. That year, we were a MAC favorite and started strong. If I remember right it ended up being a bad year, but expectations were high. I think the PG, Hollinsworth? left the team or something and the chemistry was awful. I am almost positive.Edit: Week 1 and 2 of 2003-2004 season, Akron received 3 and 4 points respectively in the Coaches Poll, not the AP, but close enough for me. Quote
