zip81 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Some of you younger Zips may not believe this, but we did have a card section at one time at the Rubber Bowl!Picture below from the 1980 Tel Buch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm looking at the people in the picture. My classmates. Thanks for making me feel old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Is there a reason this can't be done now....other than we don't have enough students at the game to actually make UA big enough to be seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yes there is a reason we can't do this now.....because SOME of the students holding each letter would argue that the message should read UofA, not AU, and so they would move to the other side of the card section (or refuse to hold up their card and spend their time telling the others that "AU" is some kind of insult). Either way, it would goof up the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Is anyone going to the University of Ohio State (UOS for abbreviation) game against U of A? If you are going to say it at least say it right for heavens sake. Especially, if it is your own freaking university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleacher Bum Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 This might be something to do at the new stadium when seats are full.....for at least a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I remember being in the card section for a game against Western Illinos in either 1979 or 1980. Most of us were under the influence, so I'm not too sure how well it looked on from the press box side of the bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 That's what I thought zip81, because that was my freshmen year and I was pretty sure it was the 1st home game of the year (usually Acme-Zip). Thanks for the confirmation!BTW, it was a lot of fun. I hope they revive it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
