T-shirt

Maybe I shouldn't bring this up again because a number of people wanted to drop it, but it is possible to make something positive out of the T-shirt idea. How about something like:26 and 7 overall13 and 1 at homeNo NCAA invitation…FEAR THE ROO!

The NCAA tournament isn't the issue really.....it's the NIT. The pass-up by the NCAAs was somewhat explicable; the NIT snub was inexplicable. I've let the NCAA thing go. The NIT snub still hurts.

I agree. Thanks Captain!

BTW...Since the NCAA runs both the NCAA and NIT now, I meant the NCAA as a whole (either tourney).But, CK's response was what I was really expecting.Thanks.

To me, "NCAA invitation" sounded like the 65-team tournament, not both. The NCAA owning the NIT is a bad thing. Too monopolistic. How about a simple 26 with the ribbon logo?

I thought it would be cool to have a shirt (or maybe just a cartoon) depicting a bunch of old men playing cards with Rejects written on the table with cards scattered around the table and each card showing a team NOT selected to the NIT. In each old man's hand are several cards of the teams that were selected. The caption would read something like "Does everyone have their favorites for the NIT in their hands?" Maybe each old guy could have a jacket or a shirt depicting the major conference they came from too.On the floor is a card by itself which is The University of Akron card. If I had any drawing skills at all I would just draw it. It would be far more interesting seeing it then just the words.

Or we could just focus on winning the MAC Title next year

I think this issue comes up on lots of sports discussion boards. The team should definitely focus on next year. Do the fans have to do so also? Don't places like this exist for discussion of exactly the type of thing in this thread? I guess my question is who is "we" in "we could just focus on winning the MAC Title next year"? What can we on this board do focus on winning the MAC title next year?Not being a contrarian or jerk, just expressing my opinion. I believe that what the team is doing and what its fans are doing don't have to be the same.

SGM, i agree. That was the point of my post...that the NCAA and NIT FEAR THE ROO, so we were not invited. Let's move on and be positive about next season!
