MDZip Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 This was posted on Hustlebelt.com Symbolically, I'm hoping it's also what the Zips do to the Bobcats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksu sucks Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That arena looks pretty packed. Note to the Athletic Dept: Don't build an arena we can fill up once or twice a year following a sweet 16 run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZoner Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 For basketball, The Convo is too big. 9,000 would have been perfect. For graduation, it's about the right size. But yeah, it's a big place. Even 10,000 looks more empty than it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 LOL...I can't say I disagree. But he knew what he was doing with that tweet. You know what though, it is possible he was expressing the same frustration many of us felt since Ohio beating Belmont would have helped the Zips at-large case. One thing I did learn from the Twitter "feud" was that Reggie Keeley holds the JAR rebound record of 20. My bold prediction - Tree erases that record before his career is over. One reason I don't like Twitter - I went to see what Brian's actual tweet was and saw him say to Pat Forsythe "when you gonna be back?". Thought that meant Pat was injured, turns out he was only referring to being in a night class. No more Twitter for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksu sucks Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Huh? So you want them to build another JAR"ish" arena? What would be the point? THINK BIGGER The JAR seats ~6000 The Convo seats ~13000 There are a lot of numbers between 6000 and 13000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're right. He also apparently underestimated how closely OU fans have been following/trolling Akron twitter accounts. That tweet was brought to DJ Coopers attention within a matter of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 OU favored by 3.5.... Line opened at 2, though. Vegas is loading up on the Bobkittens. http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basket...odds/las-vegas/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUstudent Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 This should be a great game with an atmosphere as electric as the JAR, but much bigger. For those of you Akron fans on the fence about going, go. You'll enjoy a college game at the Convo. I posted on Bobcatattack about fan behavior, and I'd like to extend it to you guys as well. http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/t...103085#FirstNew While I have expressed my disdain for Akron on multiple occasions, I really do hope that those of you who come down tomorrow enjoy the game. I met some of your students who made the trip down last year, and they were all class acts. I've always thought it was far more fun bantering with another student section anyways. Will you be having a traveling student section for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksu sucks Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good post. As a bonus, it only took 6 replies for someone to mention that OU is the "class" of the MAC. After everything that has happened over the past week, "class" is the last word that comes to mind when I think about this rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZZips Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Don't drink the water in Athens. Man with a gun delays a game. Boil alert for water doesn't. http://bit.ly/YzdcHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boil alert for water doesn't. http://bit.ly/YzdcHJ I advise all of our fans attending the game to take their own water and to get in and out as quickly as you can. The Convo may start approaching third world status and we want to avoid another Carnival Cruise Line or Superdome type situation. Team - get the Win and get out as quickly as possible as well.

ksu sucks Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Running water wasn't introduced to Athens until the 70's. They are still trying to figure out this whole "civilization" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontrealExposloveZippy Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 So, do you think Cooper will have to resort to chucking up 3's at least 5 feet behind the arc like he did a few weeks ago when we dismantled them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm120209 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Bobcats players have tattoos. Cool story right? http://speakeasyohiou.com/2013/02/26/ink-r...asketball-team/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZoner Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sadly, boil orders are not uncommon. Antiquated sewer system + no money to replace it = bad times. I love Athens with all my heart, but I don't miss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never say this is a good thing. Remember the three he took 5-8 feet behind the line and on the move with the shot clock expiring after great defense by the Zips in the waning minutes of the MACC last year? That was the difference in the game. Sickening. For me, it was like Doug Penno The Sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
