Thanks for posting that!Now let's see our 21st century mascots go at it in a game!! Personally, I wouldn't have any problem with it.But you realize there's not a darn thing we can do about it on this board.Why don't you e-mail AD Mack Rhodes?Gonna have to be in our house though. I'd like to see you guys come over when the new place is built.Now that we have 12 games...why not.Can't is playing Delaware St. this year. Arn't they I-AA?If you're going to play I-AA, why not keep it local...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovezips Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 no reason for us to play. YSU would not be a quality win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eguins Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 no reason for us to play. YSU would not be a quality win Last year's YSU team would've beat half the MAC............so don't tell me it wouldn't be a quality win.A win vs. a #5 I-AA/FCS school, is as good as beating teams around the 60-70s in the Sagarin's; which BTW was where YSU was located.Chances are the Zips Win.Chances are YSU brings 8-10,000 fans.Chances are a rivalry can develop.Chances are everyone is happy in the end!

Zipsrifle Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have no problem playing YSU. Akron should win, we shouldn't NOT play them because they might beat us. It would be another rivalry game, and if the crowd would be as good as advertised, that is a good thing for the program!What's the deal with Zippy's shoes?!?

Indians06 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hate to say it, but IDK if we beat YSU this season, I mean they were good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguins Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I want you guys to check these out and I'd like to hear if maybe you'd like this for your stadium.. Since you don't want a I-AA stadium; although the one here in Youngstown is nicer than your's over near Akron-Fulton; and the other one in KANT, Oh.

zip81 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Is YSU going to do that to their stadium?If so, it is an improvement, but not something I would want for Akron.And why do you keep trying to provoke by putting down the Rubber Bowl?It opened in 1940 for crying out loud.At one time, the Rubber Bowl was a great facility...when YSU was playing in Austintown Fitch High School.So, why don't you just back off?You are not doing yourself or your school a favor.

Listen, I've had to hear it from many Akron fans for way too long that the Rubber Bowl is this amazing piece of concrete over there; and that it's nicer than YSU's """I-AA""" Stadium. Well they are wrong, i work with about 10 Zip Alums who pester me about sports every day of the week. I know I shouldn't take my anger out on you guys, but I have to say I am!LOL... And I know the Rubber Bowl was aa nice stadium back in the day, and it's too bad its in the condition it is in today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UADavid Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 i work with about 10 Zip Alums who pester me about sports every day of the weekYou are an idiot. Leave and no one will bother you. You post ad nauseam about the little school to the east of can't that no one on the Zips board wants to hear about. Post to your heavily viewed site and spare us the drama.

To say the least, your comments are redundant.So just save your venom for the work crowd.It's very tiresome here.You come off like you have a giant chip on your shoulder, plus, an inferiority complex that can't be healed.If you must vent, do it on your own board with people who will be sympathetic.Here, you just come off as a jerk.
