LZIp Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 Man that was a horrible last possession. Kent players stay being thugs. 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 Never seen anything like that from a team. Classless. But Zips blew it. Quote
ewbrooman1 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 To me, just an unacceptable performance. No excuse for starting out like they did in a rivalry game at home. Dug a hole they couldn't crawl out of. Terrible performances by our guards, especially compared to the Flushes. 🤬 1 Quote
dre22era Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 Im fine with Kent talking that talk. They got the W on our floor and the Season Sweep. Can't be sore losers. 1 Quote

This is the stuff of great rivalries. Ever notice nobody ever says, "That was a great handshake line after the game. Very straight and nobody showed any emotion." Akron vs Kent is a great regional rivalry. Let the trash talk happen. Great game. Zips fell short. Do better next time. Quote

Can't be sore losers. I have no problem with it either. Good to see in a rivalry. As Jim Harbaugh would say this akron team "is a finesse team, not a physical/tough team." They stood back and watched it happen. 3 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Posted February 12, 2022 It's the middle of February and this team has not developed a true go to guy or any killer instinct. Quote

AkronAlumnus Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) People who don't understand this never played in a heated rivalry or if they did it was probably in a JV role. Rivalries are intense and it feels good to win. If you have a chance to get the last world into the fan screaming he screwed your mom all night your going to do it, sad the zips just passively watched it happen. Though I'd rather see the players beef with each other than players jawing at fans but nonetheless, sticks and stones may break my bones but worlds will never hurt me.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Nah. Rivalry or not, flipping off fans and immediately running to get in the faces of the students - not a good look for a program. Wave goodbye as you run off the court. Blow kisses. I don't care about that. Just stay above the line. Don't become trashy thugs. KSUcks has never had a team I can say I respect as a rival, at least not since the Jim Christian days (Chris Singletary, Ham & Cheese, etc.). OU has, Miami has, Buffalo has. Can't has never. That University borderline prides itself on being classless. There is zero respect for that team, that program, and that school. Shut them up in Cleveland.

bigzipguy Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 HEY AKRONALUMNUS, I HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND WATCHING COMPETITVE SPORTS FOR MANY YEARS. GUESS I GREW UP IN A DIFFENENT ERA THAN YOU.

If the players, students, alumni, fans and greater community are not part of the rivalry, it's a pathetic rivalry. Again, Akron hates Kent. Kent hates Akron. I envy those of you who were able to attend the game tonight and be part of this great rivalry. Instead of telling Kent players to stay classy, I'd love to tell those dimwits, "See you pu$$y-a$$ beatches in Cleveland in a few weeks." While flipping the bird. The 1950s are over. 1 2 Quote

bigzipguy Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 GP1 , have a good night , do not wish to respond to statement, it is not worth it. One of the nice things, the few nice things about getting older is your realize somethings are not really that important. 1 Quote
jupitertoo Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 I was at the Convo in Athens when Andy Hipsher taunted fans by grabbing his crotch...same game Gandma Hipsher was kicked out if the arena for her foul language. So UA isn't lilly white here. 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 By the way, you're almost never going to beat a team that shoots 58.8% from 3 on 17 attempts. And we almost did. 1 Quote
