How the Zips could get screwed Friday night

[1981 grad]

I heard the announcers in Miami's win Tuesday declare them conference champions.  I have also had people on this board indicate they are rooting for Miami because the Zips have nothing to gain from a loss since they own the tiebreaker against us.  However, if Miami loses on Friday and we win Friday we would both be conference champions.  Under the MAC rules the tiebreaker is only for seeding purposes only.  And tradition dictates that the Zips would cut down the nets as conference champions as we did last year.  It is a well deserved reward for our players after a great season.

 

Normally, if Akron wins friday they would cut down the nets in front of a home crowd if Miami loses.   However, because of the TV schedule, Akron plays at 6 and Miami plays at 9.  Therefore, we will not know till 11:30 whether the Zips won the conference championship.  It is senior night and it is terrible that the Zips could lose this opportunity to cut down the nets in front of their fans because of the TV schedule.  But that would be the reality.  On Friday night: Go Zips!!  Go OU!!

The least of our problems.

Miami OH dropped confetti for winning their first regular season title in over 20 years. As hilarious as it would be to have that spoiled as a split, I'd prefer not to celebrate shared titles. Act like we've been there before and just get to Cleveland where it matters.

Rafters at the JAR are getting full anyways. Save the space for more NCAA Tournament banners.

They hang a banner for it. We add a number to an existing banner.
