zipsbandman Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 In my opinion in the past two years Akron has had two major losses that hurts us ... both to Toledo. Last year's MAC Semi-Final and tonight. This one I feel will hurt us when the time comes for the drawings in the MAC tournament. And both of these losses should have been wins ... the Zips lost both in the final minutes by not playing like they had the first thirty minutes. No one on this board is a fair weather fan. This fan will be at the Ohio game losing his voice once again, but its also alright to have high expectations. This is supposed to be our year. If we are going to win it all this year represents our greatest shot cause we lose two good ones next year and even more the year after while our archrival is stockpiling talent. With that said, I'm sick of Toledo getting in the way, and I'm sick of losing these close games on the road. An absolutely pathetic NIU team just beat the other MAC team we lost to on the road, and we had every chance to pull it out. Come on here!

FearTheRoo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Balki, post a copy of your anyone of your friend's NCAA D-1 game contracts and I will consider him a fair, unbiased, educated official. Otherwise, he is just a fan.If the only thing you can pin a loss to is officiating, then you don't know basketball. As was posted before, 3:20 was the last FG we made. I think that has a lot more to do with the loss, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that has a lot more to do with the loss, don't you? I get it ... the refs are always right. My friend is obviously a retard because he is not a D-1 ref. Man you are a dick. Do I blame the refs for most of it? Yes i do. I know akron didn't make a basket in the last 3:20. Its hard to when most of your players have 4 fouls are are trying not to foul out. Why don't you quit calling everyone a fair weather fan. Akron loses, people bitch. It happens, get over it. I know not everyone can prove that they are a true Akron fan like you by starting their own website because no one agrees with them. Thats a real nice "i'm going to take my ball and go home" mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheRoo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Balki, I always appreciate debating with you because you do all the work for me! Just open your mouth and you prove you are as ignorant as I know you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheRoo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Why can't you keep this on the topic of the Toledo game? Jealous? There is a message there for you. Now go respond to it you whining brat.I guess we'll just chalk this loss up to the huge conspiracy of the MAC officials vs. the Akron Zips. What a piss poor, immature loser you are! It is now official because Balki says so: The Zips new logo has been changed from:toThe Truth is Out There.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i never said it was a conspiracy. MAC officials always favor the home team and it is a joke. even when Akron plays at home. WAH, WAH, i'm going to start my own website, WAH WAH.Dick.

FearTheRoo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Why do you have to keep going to the website topic? This is about the Toledo game. I haven't said anything about your accomplishments. But you can keep mentioning the website as much as you want. We love the publicity! BTW, I did as you asked and posted a message on the site. Where are you?? Several others have already visited it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I was listening to the game on internet via the Toledo radio statio that was the basis for this original thread post. It was the Toledo commentators that were saying we were continually getting screwed by the officials.For this to be our year, we have to win big games away from the JAR. Otherwise, we're going to be a very dangerous NIT team...until we have to play on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Come on you guys. We've known all along that the only thing that matters is how we play in Cleveland next month. All of these games are doing nothing more than preparing us for that.This is what we know so far......after playing every team in the MAC.After losing to Toledo tonight on the road by only 3 points, we know that on a neutral court, we should be able to beat anyone in the MAC.Now....we need to just go get it done.Dambrot said in his pre-game interview that most of his decisions now are "thinking long term", meaning the MAC tournament. And with more tough road games coming up, against some competitive teams, we should be well prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheRoo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 ...and the Q is a bit more of a "home court" for us than others. Same for Can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 rowdy Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Just got home from the game. Some of my thoughts:1. Romeo being in foul trouble killed us. We were up 4 when he came back in and they quickly went right at him and he could do nothing. 2. Great game by dials but didn't get a shot the last 5 minutes of the game.3. Middleton was off his game tonight. Tried to force things and couldn't handle the speed of toledo's guards. 4. Dru had a decent game but also forced some things at the end and seemed to get tired late in the game.5. Wood continues to impress and is a force when fresh.6. Yes the refs were as bad as it sounded from French but wasn't the only reason for the loss. Both Middleton and Dru were fouled on three point shots late in the game. both were air balls because of the contact but no call was made. 7 No need to panic. We still have a great shot of getting the number one seed and should put this game behind us and go out and beat Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Personally I can't understand why people would be mad because fans on this board were pissed off we lossed. Shouldn't fans be pissed off when their team loses? Isn't fan short for fanatic. We all realize they can't win every game, but this game was very winnable and they blew it -- that's a decent reason to be pissed. I hate to bring this up, but this is supposed to be our year. We've sat through endless years of crap and year's that were supposed to be, but never were. The teams that go above and beyond the expectations are the teams that win games like this. Look at the year Can't went far in the tournament -- I think they had 1 in conference loss. 1 loss. Why can't we expect a year like that once?

Those are harsh expectations on any program, but there is no reason not to believe this is our year. Fans get pissed when their teams lose. Have you ever read a Cleveland Browns game thread?? We could have won this game and should have. We lead by as many as 11 points! And keep in mind nobody will ever give the zips any of the repect they deserve unless they finally win the championship and get to the tournament.
