RowdyZip Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Eh...whatever. 22 wins gets an 8 seed in the NIT while the MVC bitches they only get 4 in the NCAAs. MAC bias, as usual. Let's make a run into NYC and get some respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheRoo Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 AG, you are correct! I never heard Steve French mention the attendance, but he alluded that it was very low.Damn NIT.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Morgan Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I believe the JAR would have sold out....despite the debacle in cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 yup. you move that game to Akron and you match the OU game at least (5200) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 ESPN is reporting that there was only 1,000 people in attendance for the Akron-Temple game. Tell me again why this game wasn't in Akron???????? Man ! Antonio i can't believe what i'm reading !you can come up with reasonnable, decent and smart posts... Why didn't you do that all season long ?And yeah about your question, playing at Temple has nothing to do with $ or attendance, it is about respect. As i said in a post before, the committees don't respect the roo yet but we will force them to do it. Not only respect the Roo... Fear the Roo baby !

wadscarman Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 1,017 attendance per the box score.http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/boxscore?gid=200603140577 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balki Bartokomous Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 1000 fans.The NIT selection board can kiss my ass. The JAR would have fallen down with the energy flowing through it. Then we would have a HUGE win over Temple's goon squad and we would have gotten a new building.go zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Morgan Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Clearly the NIT selection committee will look back on the decision to play this game in philly and say....ooops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheRoo Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Clearly the NIT selection committee will look back on the decision to play this game in philly and say....ooops? Yeah, but a public "oops" would be better. Any chance one of them will admit it to the media? I would love to get the email or telephone or fax number for the NIT offices. Anyone know what city they are located in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGates Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I still love to hate Akron, but I'm a MAC fan all the way, once the postseason starts. It would be nice for you guys to win Thursday followed by a K ent victory 24 hours later!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleacher Bum Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just saw the highlights of the game on WKYC Channel 3...and there was literally NOONE there. It was depressing. I think we had more people watching that game on the Zipsnation board than there were people at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I believe the JAR would have sold out....despite the debacle in cleveland I don't know about that. With that little time in advance and it's on a Tuesday night, attendance may have been 3-4,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 east coast bias.Temple = historyTemple = philly (step brother to NY)They couldn't find Akron on a map. That's all they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziptrumpet87 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 even 4000 would still beat the heck out of 1000... and Philly has a lot more people to draw from than Akron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleacher Bum Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Where is Akron anyway? I've never even heard the name said on ESPN. They call it "A-Crown." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
