He's such a cocky low life POS, I hope the Rowdies tear him apart all game. Wish I could find the video of him skipping his way down the court after he made his only bucket of the MAC championship game...while Kent was still losing. At 10:05, he's skipping away. Then Garvin and X drain 3s. Edited February 3, 2023 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I recorded a clip on my phone of the Carry Skip so whenever I need a laugh I have something quick I can go to. Man, it feels good to go into this game tonight with house money. A 20-point beat down in the MAC title game after a long, cocky win streak will be on the mountain top of this rivalry for a very long time. Kent State Sucks!!!!

NWAkron Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Interesting stat from Terry Pluto's (ugh) column in Plain Dealer today: "Akron coach John Groce mentioned how both teams are on a hot streak dating back to last season in the MAC. “We’ve won 16 of our last 17 MAC games,” he said. “Kent is on a streak like that, too. These are two very good teams.” As for Kent, it’s 16 of their last 18 MAC games dating back to last season." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Just re-watched the 2022 title game video again. It will never get old. One day I will designate a TV in my home to play it on loop for 24 hours a day. An underrated moment from that night was X cramping up after the final buzzer. One, he played his tail off for 40 minutes. Two, you can see the "teamism" this group has as they all gathered around him to help him stretch and get him back on his feet. No dances for the cameras, no "me me me!" just US. Let's Go Zips!!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I wish I could find a video of the entire game instead of just offensive highlights. The defense we played on KSUcks was half of the fun that night. Edited February 3, 2023 by Blue & Gold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pumped about this game tonight. Last year, I didn't have many expectations for the Akron/KSUcks matchups. The Chickens with Teeth undoubtedly had more talent, and they always get up for this game. We had not seen much from our squad to give us hope going into those matchups, and our performance in the Title game was incredibly unexpected (and welcomed). I still think the Chickens with Teeth are more talented, but going into tonight, I'm more confident in our system, our composure, and our Teamism. Carry is a mental midget, Pinky is the head clown, and the rest of the circus fit right into that clown car perfectly. We have shown the ability to compete even on an off night from X or Freeman, especially against teams that lack true discipline and Teamism. Most importantly, at the end of the night, we can read, write, and don't have to explain what the hell a flash is and why our chicken mascot has teeth. Thank God I was born & raised an Akron fan. IT'S 1:23 (ironically the full spectrum of KSUcks' counting abilities) AND... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re able, stop into the CLE Clothing store (name still aggravates me) on Exchange across from the Info. They have a very nice selection of Zips gear and, for today at least, ALL THEIR T-SHIRTS ARE ONLY $10, not just the “White-Out” t-shirts. I went in to pick up a White Out t-shirt and ended up getting that plus two others. Edited February 3, 2023 by Blue & Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Per Guthrie I'm Twitter, tshirts will be given to the first 500 fans tonight, and students will be given shirts upon entry. Everyone else will need to buy a shirt and pick it up at the CLE Akron location, or wear their own white shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’ll also add that, even though I wish it was the AKR Clothing Co., the gentleman working behind the counter said he owned the business and was very friendly. I was happy to give him my business and told him I’d be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Action Network released 3 CBB picks for tonight and Kent getting points was one of them. Got a feeling that contributed to the cash flow from some of the non-fans putting money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to create a positive environment. Also, anti-zip used this word the other day when referring to Akron/its fans. Therefore, I think we should take note that "mouth breathers" is a kindergarten-level term and we should try to be more advanced in our vocabulary by using other terminology. I find it hilarious that the Sesame Street Lightning Chicken fans throw out baseless claims that accuse Akron of being classless, fail to produce any proof, and then have countless videos and articles thrown back at them of the Sesame Street Lightning Chickens being the classless bunch. Give em hell tonight, ZipsNation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
