K-Roo Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 Pirate Flags for MAC Wins over Key Wins 3 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 I guess it is a cool idea. I think the flag hoisting would be a fan-pleasing event...get everyone pumped for the game at-hand. Play some highlights of the P5 beating on the big screen... The Zips offense needs to be effective to get a flag. The D won't be able to do it alone. The offense is a complete unknown this year...I have no gauge of it whatsoever. Quote
LZIp Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 The offense is a complete unknown, but I feel like its really hard to be as ineffective as last year. There is at least some potential with the skill players this year, assuming we can put together 5 decent starters on the OL. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Weird. Edit: Unless we're adding ECU to the conference, and even they have lost their luster in my eyes. Second Edit: Maybe this is a sign that the MAC is Davy Jones' locker, and we are stuck in the MAC forever. Edited July 25, 2018 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
Cykron Posted July 26, 2018 Report Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Great idea! Anyone want to make a bet related to the Iowa State game? If you win, I'll fly this flag at our tailgate after the game (prominent location along University Drive). If we win, you'll fly an Iowa State flag at a tailgate for your next game in Akron.

zippy5 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Posted July 26, 2018 Seems kinda cheesy given the Pirates have been "raising the jolly roger" for years after wins Quote
scottditzen Posted July 26, 2018 Report Posted July 26, 2018 I really like this idea. You know during televised games the cameras are absolutely going to focus on those flags - if they're there. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted July 27, 2018 Report Posted July 27, 2018 We will have one eventually if they keep it going. 1 Quote
LZIp Posted July 27, 2018 Report Posted July 27, 2018 The #MACtion brand is gimmicky as is. I say embrace it. This isn't the B1G with strong tradition. I'm all for anything that people will talk about and for the players to have some more fun. Quote
kreed5120 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Posted August 1, 2018 So would it be any win against a P5 or ranked G5? Quote
Cykron Posted August 2, 2018 Report Posted August 2, 2018 If Iowa State wins its third game of the season, they should be ranked. It is Oklahoma! Quote

Cykron Posted August 30, 2018 Report Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) 15 hours ago, Dr Z said: Akron at Nebraska, 8:00 pm ET (FOX) Didn't the MAC (NIU) win the last time they went to Lincoln! Hope it happens again in Lincoln . . . and in Iowa City! Edited August 30, 2018 by Cykron Quote
Cykron Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 Not quite the same, but we did raise a Zips flag from Akron fans at our tailgate before the Iowa State game. It flew during the tailgate and all through the game until its rightful owners (folks from ZipsNation) came and got it. 3 Quote
