We deal with something similar with OSU. Many students grow up OSU fans (including myself) and continue to root for them even after attending/graduating from UA, and even against UA. . Though I guess it isn't completely apples to apples as ISU does not have a FBS football program. I say you should root for ISU vs us. I was born and raised a Zips fan, am an alum and also root for the Buckeyes, especially in football. However, I can't say that I've ever rooted for the Buckeyes in any contest against the Zips. I'm still a little bitter over the NIT loss in Columbus a couple of years ago. No conflict for me. Just sayin'.

Just sayin'. FWIW, I'm not bashing anyone who also roots for OSU (assuming Akron is #1). I get it. I still do, though they are a very distant 2nd and I seemingly care less about them as each year passes. It's kind of boring expecting to win every game and only having 2-3 tough games a year with most others over by half-time honestly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Anyone want to explain to me the rumor about Ivey not returning? I don't want to open a can of worms, but every fan I spoken to over the last week has brought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZippers Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) "Also, on senior night, the Zips honored 6-5 swingman Jimond Ivey, even though he has a season of eligibility remaining, leaving his future as a Zip in question." Taken from this article in the PD. Seems unusual. Edited March 26, 2018 by UAZippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from this article in the PD. I don't remember him being honored, but that seems like something unusual. Elton is having a senior moment in that article. The only people honored on Senior night were Duvivier and Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from this article in the PD. Seems unusual. We did?!? I only remember Malcolm and Smith. Did we do something similar with Treadwell and Harney being that they were non-qualifiers? I don't remember. Ivey is a greyshirt, IIRC...I believe due to being a qualifier out of HS. I think they key would be, if he were looking to transfer, is whether or not he will graduate. Let's hope he stays regardless...I don't know why he wouldn't be excited about next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, with a ball and a hearty handshake. Jimond seemed to be one of those who bought in early and fully. I'd be very surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I haven't heard anything. I'm a fan. So if like someone asked me I wouldn't say he was transferring. So what fans are saying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about the situation. BUT if I had a nickel for every false rumor I have heard about an Akron athlete... I'm just a fan, and I am more pumped about next season than I have been in more than a decade. I can't imagine if I were a solid contributor this year, how excited I would be for next season. ?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
