zippy5 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's only a big story in our favor right now because we are at the top of the heap, and we've stayed there long enough for people to start paying attention. As a National story, the great Akron winning streak will go away the moment Memphis would go ahead. Would they actually pass us? From what I understood they'll just tie us. Then we can get mentioned during every Memphis game as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched an hour of Sports Center U without even a mention of the Zips. They did mention Memphis has the 2nd longest steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 You have to look at the remaining schedules next to each other (M = Memphis, Z = Zips). If both teams keep winning, the last character in each line below would be Z for Zips ahead, M for Memphis ahead or T for tie. M - 2/20 = T Z - 2/22 = Z M - 2/23 = T M - 2/26 = M Z - 2/27 = T Z - 3/2 = T* M - 3/2 = T* Z - 3/5 = T* M - 3/5 = T* Z - 3/8 = Z M - 3/9 = T * On games where they play on the same day, whoever wins first will be back in the lead for a few hours at most, but at the end of the day they'd be tied again. So the only time that Memphis would actually have the longest winning streak in the country by themselves for more than a few hours would be from 2/26 to 2/27. This back and forth between Akron and Memphis could actually create even more attention than the Zips are getting now. When tied, every story about Memphis would mention that they were tied with the Zips for longest winning streak in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just keep winning and let the rest of this stuff work itself out. Thirty in a row here we come!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 As expected, the Zips are now getting noted in Memphis stories: Memphis (23-3, 12-0 Conference USA) recorded its 17th straight victory, tying Akron for the longest winning streak in the nation.
