FromdaBurgh Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 SSSooooo...I must confess that I was trolling the boards and went on BGSU board and saw this post: Here is title: "It's been 10 years since we have beaten Akron....at home!" Post #1: BGSU33 Akron has walked into BG eight....yes, EIGHT....consecutive times and has come away with a win each time. BG has not beaten Akron in BG since January 18, 2003. It's been a decade since we have beaten the Zips at how....incredible. Post #2: BGSU33 Last year BG lead from the start until under one minute to play, as Akron took its first lead with :32 to play before BG regained the lead before, then losing by one point with one second to go. AND THE REASON WHY I STARTED THIS THREAD.... Post #3: BleedOrange Blah blah blah. Look 33, why even bring this up? This time it isn't even going to be a game...Akron is gonna come into the Stroh and slap our a$$ and call us Sally. It's gonna be 9 consecutive. Pull their starters off the roster and they're still the favorites. The entire prospect of this game bores me. Just be done with it right now. Pffffftttt.

akzipper Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I will say that no win is a guarantee. Play this game like any other and don't overlook BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Exactly, play this game like any other....BUT EXPECT TO WIN. If we play even mediocre and they don't have a UB-like explosion offensively, we'll have 20+ minutes of garbage time in this one. Gotta love their attitude towards this one though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Priceless! THANK YOU, MamaZeke for caring & sharing!!! Go Zips! On a side note, wow, I can't believe it's been 10 years. I am getting old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromdaBurgh Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I agree with you AKZipper and RFR44....no doubt they ABSOLUTELY have to take 1 game at a time and keep their focus on the next opponent...BUT you have to admit that THAT is way to funny! I just sent out a tweet and said: "Time to shut out the noise and chatter about Sat and focus on BGSU" But you have to admit..it would have been a crime if I didn't share this on here! This is the FAN PAGE right???!!! I'm still SMH laughing...tttoooo funny!! https://twitter.com/MommaZeke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG's problem- they don't want to play good teams. Akron's problem- we don't get to play enough good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to play good teams when you play your home games in a high school gym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZoner Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm not surprised, given the general apathy surrounding the basketball program at Bowling Green and the anger directed at Orr and Christopher from the few who do care. Personally, I'm saddened by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadszip Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Why would you want to play good teams when you play your home games in a high school gym? To be fair, BG got Michigan State to play in their gym this year. Though, no way MSU comes to Akron. That was a safe road game for MSU to get more exposure in Ohio (a state Izzo has always recruited hard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy_ua_00 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I know we should be concentrating on bgsu, but I'm a fan and I don't have to. That being said, this is what I saw on the OU board. Akron is the Buffalo Bills of the MAC, good in the regular season, but choke in the Big Game. Keith Dambrot is Marv Levy, Alex Abreu is a little kid who roots for Doug Flutie because "he's short too", and Zeke Marshall is a fluffy pillow stuffed inside a Buffalo Bills pillow case. I guess that's a good form of flattery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Kinda funny. They're the Browns to our Steelers. They care more about us than their own team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
