I laugh at their hypocrisy. "False superiority?" OU fans are the most delusional when it comes to this...they all seem to think that they went to some incredible elite school. And apparently we're too "condescending and dismissive" to the rest of the league. Give me a break. Who knew so many University of Akron experts frequented an Ohio U message board?

MDZip Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah usual stuff from message boards (always a few on both sides - I find the ones that feel like OU is equivalent of an Ivy league education a little pompous - and I even have a building with my last name on it at OU - named after a great uncle who was president of OU in the 40's - but I digress). Someone on their board showed some stats and said they bet we'd trade out last ten years results for theirs. You know what I'm kind of thinking I would. Here is what they presented over the last 10 years - same number of tourney titles but a lot more NCAA success. Would love just once to experience that same thing. MAC TOURNEY TITLES Akron - 3 Ohio - 3 Kent State - 2 Buffalo, Miami WMU - 1 MAC REGULAR SEASON EAST DIVISION TITLES Kent - 4 (2 outright, 2 co-champs) Akron - 4 (1 outright, 3 co-champs) Buffalo - 3 (3 co-champs) Miami - 1 (1 outright) Ohio - 1 (1 co-champs) BGSU - 1 (1 co-champs) NCAA Tourney record Ohio 3-2 (+1.0 avg pt diff) Akron 0-3 (-24.0 pts) Kent St 0-2 (-14.0) Miami 0-1 (-2.0) Buffalo 0-1 (-6.0) WMU 0-1 (-24.0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 10 years (not including this season) Akron has won 119 MAC games, OU 92. That's 2.7 wins more per season.

Would you trade those three wins per season for three NCAA tournament wins over ten years? I think I would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Absolutely. Ohio has the bragging rights until another team steps up and repeats what they did. Did read a column recently on John Groce and his problems at Illinois. The opinion-maker said that the MAC was a "putrid" conference and while Groce had success in the tourney he really didn't perform during the season. One could say he turned 3 wins into millions of dollars...for himself. Akron fans more than any others in the conference are waiting impatiently. That's why those three late MAC losses really burned. Becuase while the at large was not in the cards a lower seed was. Thats where those losses will hurt. But tonight...the Zips got this one.

I can see the argument from either side to be honest and wouldn't despute If you give that tourney season that much weight. I just felt the 119 vs 92 win total was a relevant stat to use when comparing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 8:00 weeknight tipoff isn't very appealing. Ohio has fallen off this season. There's very little buzz about this game, especially with Kent coming up in a few days. If you were going to go to one game this week, which would it be?

Maybe you should have taken care of business when we WON by 12 in Athens, before we lost Forsythe (he was only playing limited minutes in that game also).

kreed5120 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Bleachers are filling up nicely with a steady flow of people still coming in. Reserved seating looks sparse. Not sure how many of those are seats where STH show up right at tipoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
