Big E Zip Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 I know Miami is no juggernaut and the score against Eastern doesn't show it, but the past two games imo we have played our best perimeter defense. In addition we've been able to accomplish that without getting foul trouble. However, as previously stated, they were much lighter on the whistle last night. Quote
ace Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 I'm surprised South Carolina State didn't beat them by moreYet they almost beat Dayton. Sports are weird. Quote
kreed5120 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Posted January 24, 2016 Well we should get a good idea Tuesday vs. NIU to determine if we have really improved defensively or if our better play of late has been us capitalizing on weak competition. Either way I'm looking forward to the contest. Quote
Sportsjunkie330 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Anyone know if they are auctioning off the special jerseys from last night? I'd love to have one. Quote
morris buttermaker Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Anyone know if they are auctioning off the special jerseys from last night? I'd love to have one.Why start this year. Edited January 24, 2016 by morris buttermaker Quote
Hilltopper Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Anyone know if they are auctioning off the special jerseys from last night? I'd love to have one.No. They plan on wearing them 2-3 times per year for the next few years. Quote
morris buttermaker Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) No. They plan on wearing them 2-3 times per year for the next few years.Wow -- just wow.. I hope they fit all the guys playing for Akron over the next few years. I am shocked to think a team doesn't auction special jerseys as part of a fundraiser and would recycle them -- but I believe you. Edited January 24, 2016 by morris buttermaker Quote
UAZips Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 If they're wearing them 2 or 3 times a year, they are likely an official alternate and not a one off, like minor league teams use on occasion. It isn't like they ordered 15 uniforms and have to hope they recruit guys that fit them for 5 years... Quote
ace Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 I believe we wore them at Can't last year as well and maybe one other time that I can't think of but they are definitely not one-off. What happened to the gray alts we busted out like 2-3 years ago? Quote
UAZips Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Messed up my reply. They've worn gray every so often since they got them. Quote
Hilltopper Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Saturday was the second time this year they wore the purple uniforms. They also wore them at the Coaches against cancer game at Can't State versus Cleveland St. Quote

LoyalZIP Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 I only remember seeing them like once or twiceIt's been about once per year. The first year they got them they wore them a few times but I think it's only been once per year since then. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Who is the Zips' #10 who got into the game for the closing minutes? Quote
morris buttermaker Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Most teams would auction them off and raise some cash ... If cash is too tight, they can backout the cost of the jerseys before they write a check. Quote
zippy5 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Except most teams that auction off jerseys are done wearing them? I don't see the big deal. I'd assume they'll do something when they're actually done using them. Quote

Hilltopper Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 They got the purple uniforms to honor Dan Peters and to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer, not to raise money. THERE ARE NO PLANS TO AUCTION THEM OFF. Quote
