I'm bookmarking this guy. I used to have more time to put info in the initial post threads but now just have time to essentially put them up at placeholders to start the discussion. This guy puts out some nice info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right, but I'm skeptical. Sans last week's sparsely attended Tuesday night tilt the Zips have been out-of-sight-out-of-Ohio since early December. I fear they've slipped off Joe Akron's radar and the JAR will be 35% capacity. Friday night will be a little different...I predict 50% capacity. Regardless, two of the eight walk up tickets sold will be to GA fans who will be sitting in my reserved seats when I arrive. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe time to retire the "Joe Akron" trope? Zips can win and have won without "him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted Monday at 06:41 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 06:41 PM I think the Ohio U crowd will likely be hurt by the 6:00 p.m. start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeRise225 Posted Monday at 09:04 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:04 PM I think the new "Outback" student only thing with the AK Rowdies in the JAR is a great idea. I hope the students actually care to take advantage of it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reslife4Life Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Alright I retract my prediction about the crowd. I just saw that tonight at 7pm in the student union is the welcome back bingo event for students. Maybe the biggest student event of the spring semester. It is unbelievable how student life always seems to schedule these events at the same exact time as big time athletics events. Bud Wentz just echoed this on twitter the other day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about they play BINGO in The Outback prior to the game? Those of drinking age can slam $2 beers, and those not of drinking age can learn what sports are and how they exist to help fund the piece of paper (aka degree) they're chasing.

The people who are planning the bingo have to be clowns (ZAB), this school just loves to shoot itself in the foot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy-claws Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago And remember, Friday night's game will be up against the Al Campbell Invitational Track meet in Stile! That'll knock attendance down by about 20 people 🙃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
