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. With as frustrating as portions of that first half were, it's probably good that I did not have a large piece of glass in my hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern is known to be a bit on the chippy side at times. This should be a spirited contest and officials may be forced into calling this one tight.

skip-zip Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Not trying to jump ahead here, but has anyone else pondered this.... We could beat the OTHER best two teams in the East and West divisions within a few days. And another AP Poll comes out on Monday after two potential big victories. With a few losses around the country, how close can we get, or can we get into the Top 25 by Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 you think voters give a **** about EMU or OU? We need to win like 15 straight to get their attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah, the 1 vote we did get was from a local AP guy (Cleveland). We are a far ways off from getting enough people to buy in for us to be ranked. Win another ~5 games while ACC, Big 10, and other power conference teams continue to beat up on one another and then we should be in the discussion.

zippy5 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think if we beat EMU, we pick up a few votes. Not because we beat EMU, but because we would be 16-3 with 9 straight wins. We probably would have to go 2 more weeks without a loss to get in the top 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try running the table through the end of February and then we might be on the cusp. We have ZERO signature wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that regardless of the fact that we only have one vote right now, there's only 7 schools between us and #25. A few losses here and there over last week and this weekend could certainly move us much closer. I was also wondering if anyone remembers the particulars of our big winning streak back in 2013. At what point did we really start to pick up votes? And didn't we eventually get up near twenty or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 But we don't play any Top 50 teams. We may not even play any more Top 100 teams by the time we get done with them. Does not help the RPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) The mass exodus of people I saw leaving the JAR with 3-4 bobbleheads when I was walking in was pretty incredible. Edited January 20, 2017 by kreed5120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the unfortunate part about the giveaways. Give them away pregame and people grab and leave. Give them away at halftime and people bitch about crowds, etc. Atleast the U got some revenue assuming most of them weren't students.

You're probably forgetting Minnesota, Kansas St, and USC who are listed as dropped from rankings, but still have more than one vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Since when did Big Dog become a lefty? That makes him a massive threat, and I don't understand why EMU keeps playing man D on his dribble penetration. I'll take it though. Pretty strong half.

NWAkron Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think the missed FTs were just a result of the Zips high energy. Couldn't settle down on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
