On this note. Students showed out, great to see. I've said it before here - but student attendance is always pretty good. Step 1 was moving the rowdies to a bigger section off the baseline. Step 2 is making all of the other students sit in the same section. It happens organically at the Kent game - the second student section up top was pretty good. But on a normal game, there are still a decent amount of students that come for the free ticket and just scatter about all the GA sections. Maybe they won't be too rowdy, but if they're all together, they'll be a little more noticeable

I was at the game with my boys, man when we started out going o’fer while they put up a double digit lead, the Flushes set the tone. And the Zips never dug out. We caught back up at one point then blew chunks again.

 

As far as the rivalry and the student behavior, they’re 18-22 year old males. What’s the age of maturity? This wasn’t a PGA tournament at Firestone. Some fans forget what it’s like to have a rivalry. I saw Steeler fans thrown into the urinal (trough) at the old Cleveland Stadium by grown mem. I think it’s refreshing that students (however immature they may be) take such an interest in Zips Athletics, something we’ve been hoping for since I attended there.

 

Hell we painted our rivals water tower the night before a rivalry game while they were killing the grass at our high school BITD. That would be “vandalism” and “criminal damaging” now.

1) It's more like #16 at the WM Open. 

2) That's simply called "sending them home." Ironically, KSUcks people live there as well.

Browns fans threw Steeler fans into urinals, so this is okay. That's some NEO logic there

Interestingly ... from reading other boards the consensus around the league is the who thing was good pub -- no harm no foul, although surprised there seemed to be more negative reaction to Zip fans than Kent players. Haven't been around long enough but evidently in years past Zips players/fans had a gnarly rep with some schools around the league. Guessing the Hipsher years.

LOL!!! I didn't say it was OK, that was just my introduction to rabid rivalries. So being in high school and climbing and painting the rival's water tower overlooking their stadium the night before a game seemed normal. Legendary.

 

That was a much different time in sports. Not better in any way, but different.
