Akron and MAC success

[MDZip]

Since the Zips joined the MAC in the early 90's, there wasn't a great deal of success early on. I was just on the MAC home page and of the five main stories on the home page, one was the softball player of the week (Akron's Erin Seiler) female track athlete of the week (Brittany Cheese) and the fact that STO added two basketball games to the schedule, both an Akron mens and womens game (the other two stories were on the predicted baseball order of finish and soccer refereeing). Plus, the East female basketball player of the week is Rachel Tecca, last week the men's was Zeke. There is a ton of athletic success at Akron over the last number of years that absolutely did not exist when Akron first joined the MAC (OK, men's soccer was still good). Even in woebegotten football, since the MAC went to divisions 16 years ago, Akron does at least have one championship. Do you know how many Ohio, Can't State and Bowling Green have in that time? None. As good as Ohio and Can't (this year) have been neither has won the MAC football title in over 40 years. Its just pretty remarkable seeing Akron success all over the place like that. Go Zips!
