ScrewTheRoo Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I really can't believe that you just lost to Toledo. That is sorry. Can't will stomp them by 15+. ScrewTheRoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Morgan Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 True, Can't will stomp Toledo, as we should have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad1990 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I agree, Akron's inability to hold leads burned them this time. I think Can't will win by 10 or more. Hopefully Akron will go to the NIT. And next year we should be improved, and maybe finally make it back to the NCAA tournament! This year is the 20 year anniversary of the one and only NCAA Tournament (division 1 that is) appearance in Akron history, so I was hoping to make it back on the anniversary but no way now.

zipsbandman Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I was at the game. This team quit. No other way to put it. They should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe they need to take some lessons from the football team because they never quit and they win when it counts.The crowd did everything they had to try to pick our team up and they answered with more pathetic play. Way to go Rowdies and fans. I'm glad some of us left it all in the Q.Can we please learn how to beat a good team away from the JAR? Lot's of room for improvement there.I don't want to hear Dambrot complaining about attendence next year because losing another heartbreaker in the tournament will not persuade people to come back no matter how many regular season wins are obtained.

ScrewTheRoo Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just wondering if anyone heard an official number on attendance tonight?? It had to be around 12,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclear2k Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I heard on the radio it was roughly 10,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewTheRoo Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 actually, just checked to box score on ESPN.com. They listed the attendance as 10,917. The attendance for the championship game last year was 10,927. I wouldn't be suprised to see the attendance for the championship game drop to about 8,500. Can't State will bring alot of fans, but I don't think that Toledo has ever been known to bring many supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToledoRockets Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hate to burst your bubble, but Toledo not only is a top-2 in the league in football attendance, we are also in basketball. You see, we actually have a fan base, unlike your pathetic programs. The Toledo vs. BG basketball game OUTDREW the Crackron vs. Can't football game!Enjoy your tainted MAC Championship football trophy as it will be another 50 years before you win another one. And, to boot, you have another year to add to your 20-years of frustrations on basketball as well.You must be completely ignorant if you really don't know that Toledo outdraws Akron in EVERYTHING! Name one sport you guys outdraw Toledo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steuby_UAkron Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 It looked like Toledo brought more fans on Thursday to be honest. The game will have a drop in attendance Saturday. It's unfortunate for the MAC.The team did quit tonight. Yeah, I was looking for Peterson too, it was too easy to find him on the bench late in the game...as usual.

ToledoRockets Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 boo hoo..."blizzard". It was no frickin' "blizzard". Nobody in the World, no TV station or newspaper or anything called it a "blizzard".You guys averaged a PATHETIC 10,500 fans a game for your football team!Well, I'll even give you that it was cold and snowy...but what is your excuse for the Ohio game where you had a high school crowd of 7,600 (also about what Toledo vs. BG basketball had)? Worst part about that game was that you guys were in a must-win situation and you STILL could not muster up a high school crowd.So, in addition to telling me one sport that you guys outdraw Toledo in, please give me your lame excuse for the Ohio game!

The top two in attendance for basketball this year was Ball State and Ohio, but thanks for playing.And there's no way there was 7,000 for the football game against Ohio. Maybe half that.

Bleacher Bum Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I was at the "blizzard" and it definitely was a "blizzard." I recall walking from our tailgate spot, yea we tailgated! On the way to the game, I recall saying, "What the hell are we doing here?" But then again, I have faith in my teams! If I'm gonna follow a team it's because I believe in them. Your fairweather Can't fans can lick my ass! Where's your football team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljc Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 You know, you can say the team quit if that's what you think happened. I don't have a problem with people saying that. My own personal opinion is I thought it was a choke job. They started playing not to lose , instead of playing to win the game.I have to give a huge compliment to the Rowdies and to the fans who were there last night. It was like a home game for Akron and I thought that was awesome. Great atmosphere to be a Zips fan, too bad it had to end like it did. Again, way to go Rowdies, keep it up, you impressed a bunch of Oldies this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZip Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Coaching jobs like last night are why Akron will never be big time on the court. Dambrot can't win big games without King James running the show. He was a loser at CMU and is not going to get the job done at Akron until he gets some athletic players who can take it to the hole. Travis cannot make his own shot - look at his line from last night. Joyce can make threes but is a non factor on dribble penetration. Middleton is 10 times the player Joyce is because he can take it to the hole.Dials is a hustler but he is a below par shooter and plays no defense. Maybe he is just tired and still feeling the effects of his injury but if that is the caqse then take his hurt ass out of the game.Milam? He weighs 10 lbs and will never be able to play with the Warzynskis and Gerwigs of the MAC.Shit Shit Shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've ignored ToledoRockets posts because he is a jackass and pissed off that the dildo wasn't used as the mascot last night. Therefore, he had to sit at home and watch the game with his doll friends.Toledo may bring an additional 1,000 for tonights game. Last night's TOledo crowd was not that good, but more will make their way down because it is Toledo's first championship game since 1996.

The TEAM did not quit. I saw good efforts from Travis, Futch, Ced and Peterson.I believe certain individuals did give a poor effort, but not the TEAM.I wish you were wrong about the attendance, but you are right.

Valpo Zip Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I am not sure what makes anyone say that Romeo played good (may be his 14 points)!but when a pocket team like toledo outrebound us, we have to notice that our power forward grabbed no more than 3 rebounds in 34 minutes not to mention his defense allowing 18 points to valencia and to top it all, miss 2 free throws when we needed them most, (4/8 overall). It just seems that no body dares to criticize Romeo, but if we can't see the problem, we will never fix it, (even lebron was booed sometime at the Q). And yeah, for those of you who will tag me as a hater etc... I was the one holding the "Romeo, oh oh" sign, but i was never more disappointed in my life. I love Romeo's game (in general), but yesterday, he was the second to worst player, only Nick Dials beated him to the worst player award.

Z-Pouch Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I think Romeo, Futch, Ced and Peterson played great games. All of them showed up and gave a lot effort, we just didn't give them enough opportunities. All you have to do is look at the stat lines to figure out who forgot to show up.

FearTheRoo Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 OK, you Toledo Dumb ASS!Remember: The game started at 10AM, so this picture was taken around that time. Notice the 'fogginess' the blizzard created. Can you see the yard lines? Do you see the LIGHTS turned on?Noticed the BLOWING SNOW in the picture of the cars. This would indicate a blizzard!Now I am not wasting anymore time or server space on your ignorance. Go lose your game to Can't and go away.
