mnhouse Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Friday night is BRACKET BUSTER WEEKEND. For those of you that do not know what that is; it consists of the top mid-major men’s basketball teams across the country. They play against each other in a battle for the few remaining at-large births for the NCAA tournament. Akron is playing at Nevada at 9:00 p.m. on Friday on ESPNU. I would like to formally invite all of you to come downtown to Panini’s on Main Street where we will have drink specials, food specials and free appetizers for those of you that arrive early. The party will start at 8:45 and run all night long. We will also be giving out a couple of iPod Nanos and some other prizes for those in attendance. We will be periodically announcing the winners so you must be there to win!Another one of these could be in our future! :macc: Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Sweet! Stupid question, but are you guys televising the game? Do you get ESPNU? You know we got bumped from ESPN to ESPNU, right? Bummer. Probably the marquee matchup of the Bracketbuster weekend and we got hosed. Quote
FearTheRoo Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Man, I was pissed when they moved the game to Friday. I am working the St.V game at 7:00 on Friday. Quote

UADavid Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Although I haven't seen it in print, it appears that the JAR will not be open for the Nevada game. Since the Zip Athletic website has an article on Panini's carrying the game, I assume that the JAR is no longer an option. UAM? I was planning on going to the JAR and I know others that were also planning on the JAR for the game so let's get that straight. Go zips. Quote
mnhouse Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Posted February 15, 2006 Rhodes Arena will not be open for the Nevada game! Everyone, go to Panini's in downtown Akron on Main Street across from Canal Park! Go Zips! Quote
RowdyZip Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Gettin there early, bringin LOTS of friends. Lookin forward to a good time and a game-like environment. Come on Zips Nation, let's show up and support this team! Quote
Z-P Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 You guys will fill Paninnis I'm sure..........Anyplace in Canton me and ZFF can go see it? Quote
Dr Z Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 You guys will fill Paninnis I'm sure..........Anyplace in Canton me and ZFF can go see it?Maybe try the Stables, if that still exists. I haven't been there in two years, but I remember many tvs.I think they will even serve you Coors light. Quote
FearTheRoo Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 You guys will fill Paninnis I'm sure..........Anyplace in Canton me and ZFF can go see it? Um, it's not like it's in Cleveland. Drive to Akron and be with the mob!!!! If you go anyplace in Canton, you will probably be by yourself ..... unfortunately. Quote

Valpo Zip Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 What is the maximum capacity of Pannini ? It seems like a lot of people will be there. What is the size of the TVs they have over there ? UAM, Open the JAR !!!!!!! Quote
Dr Z Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 I will be out of the country Friday night and will not be able to attend.Can someone do me a favor? Take a few photos and place them in this thread on Sunday or Monday. I'm interested to see the good time.Just some overall crowd shots. Quote
FearTheRoo Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 I usually go to BW's. Where did Pannini's move to? Main street? Quote
