Great Weekend to be a Zip Fan

[1981 grad]

I hope everyone is smiling because it was a great weekend to be a Zip fan!!!  The Zips won their first home basketball game and I thought Ohio Wesleyan played well and made it an enjoyable game to watch.  The next night I went to the Zips soccer game and saw them win their first tourney soccer game in 6 years.  I then checked the Pacers box score and Freeman is getting into the game for the Pacers.  And the football team did not play this week so no fumbles on that front.  Be happy Zip fans!!!!

I thought for sure...that you were going to mention...that we no longer had a narcissist as our Athletic Director.

Nope, do not know him.  But I was going to mention that Kent State  lost in football to Ohio, 41-0, and outgained  407-114 on offense.  The Golden Flashes are 0-9 and tack on the nine-game slide to end 2023 and you have an 18-game losing streak overall.  However, Zips forum is way to classy to obtain satisfaction from our arch rivals complete collapse in their football program.

PCCC is the only team in the nation to not lead a game this season.

Nice to see positive energy and feedback on here.  There will be time enough for complaining when Zips lose to a directional Michigan school deep in the season.  Then we call ask ourselves "has Groce lost the team?"

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed our weekend of happiness and welcome back to the reality of being a Zip fan.  On Tuesday, Zips basketball took a beating on the boards and in the paint and showed as much toughness as your daughter's favorite Teddy bear.  On Wednesday our football team lost and went scoreless in the 2nd half and now are 2 and 8.  And then our soccer team took it on the chin on Thursday losing in overtime and now Zips fans will worry the whole weekend whether our record is good enough to get an at large bid in the tourney.  Remember our motto, if being a Zips fan was easy, everyone would be one.

You making this joke and then Akron getting destroyed in the paint the next night was certainly something.

Am I dreaming, please pinch me as it is a great week to be Zip fan.  Tuesday we beat Kent in football, Thursday we won our first NCAA soccer game in 6 years by beating Princeton, and Friday we beat powerhouse Lamar in basketball.  (And our corporate partner, the Browns also beat the Steelers on Thursday)  Lets keep this party rolling with victories in basketball on Sat. and Sunday, a win in Indiana in soccer on Sunday, and a beat down of Toledo in football in Tuesday.  Do you believe in Miracles?  Lets run the table.

A win last night in basketball and the streak continues.  Today is the big day.  Zips need a win in Indiana in soccer and a win against Alabama State who also won their first 2 games.  Will watch soccer and then head over to basketball.  Hoping the Zips win in regulation so that I can hopefully see the tipoff in basketball.  Great day to be a Zips fan.  Go Zips!!!
