Zip_ME87 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) So, what is meant by bobblehead "grab bag"? Do you reach into a bag and pull out a bobblehead at random? Do they hand you one as you enter, and you get what they give you? Do you stand in a long line and say I want a LeBron James from the LeBron, Coach Dambrot set...they say they're out...you ask for a Lebron James from the Lebron, Romeo, Dru set. They say they're out. You move on to the next one you might want, say Charlie Frye and so on and so forth til you get one or give up. Meanwhile, significant time has passed and you and others miss tip off. Or something else? Just curious. I imagine instructions will follow on GoZips.com. Edited January 19, 2017 by Zip_ME87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Eastern has as much individual talent as anybody in the MAC. Probably our biggest threat in Cleveland, we need to send a message Friday. Thompson vs Big Dog in the paint. Can't wait to see this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMU's gonna be coming for blood. If we can handle EMU convincingly we should have tremendous swag for every game remaining on our schedule. I'm worried about Noah & Josh not matching up well w/ EMU's athletic guards. Any word on Big Mike's back? He's losing valuable development PT & by this point he's gonna be out of shape once KD does put him in the game. We're gonna need Big Mike to give us quality minutes to win the 3-games-in-3-days in Cleveland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which obviously isn't good news. Between praying for world peace, a cure for cancer and Big Dog/Kwan staying healthy I don't know which comes first? All are highly important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I just know I'm going to get another Proenza bobblehead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) See this as an epic test and a match up I mentally noted since last year's come from behind win at the Q. Hoping the Zips maturity will shine and they can keep their cool. After our escapes from them at the Q over the years, they have got to be supremely motivated to end our streak.

LZIp Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 This will be a tough one!! Fearful of a let down game following OU. If we can beat these guys...I think I'm a believer about this team being different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's interesting that the week we tie (and hopefully break) the JAR Arena home win streak record will be against our two biggest contenders for the top team in the league. At least that's how I view OU and EMU. One down....one to go. I'm not fearful of a letdown this week. I really think that EMU is very good. And I think OU with Campbell will obviously be able to challenge us much more than they did on Tuesday. But even if we get past this, don't even forget how we ended the previous home win streak. We got beat in the JAR in 2008 by a really bad NIU team that was 3-12 in conference play that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah. Usually when the media starts swarming, the Zips get a little tight. Seems like they prefer being under the radar at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a LeBron James Bobblehead would make some people go. But it's not like you go and you get a LeBron James Bobblehead, you go and get a 1/5 chance of maybe getting one if there is any left.

My Romeo box is a little rough because the night that I received it I kicked it down the bleacher steps when I jumped up quickly to celebrate an exciting basket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, it doesn't cost anything because these are left over from previous giveaways. Second off, they're giving fans multiple options to get whichever one they prefer.

They won't know which bobbleheads are in which boxes. I'll make sure I account for at least a 10 minute delay getting to my seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wasn't happy that I missed the most exciting part of the game last week (the scoring run to start the 2nd half) while watching people scramble through lists of season ticket holders to hand out mugs. Don't heed my advisory. I don't care. Enjoy the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't we just pick them up before the start of the game to beat the rush? We're season ticket holders. Not like we will take it then turn around and walk out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
