Re: Charlie Coles.   It would have been a nice touch if his players wore black armbands  or whatever for the Zips.  But you went further and questioned his sincerity by NOT doing it.   Here again, we see you criticizing people's or entity's character for not doing something unprecedentedly selfless that would benefit Akron.

One thing I truly detest on this board is people who lie about something I said, or anyone else said, to prove a their own BS point.Here is my quote regarding armbands and Charlie Coles (from LAST MARCH, BTW):

What can we do about this? This season, probably nothing. If Charlie Coles was honest in his assessment that "It is a crime if Akron isn't in the NCAA's" then I want to see Miami players with a black armband during their game vs. Oregon. I want Coles to wear one too. Ditto the Toledo players and Stan Joplin. I don't want them to do this for Akron. I want them to do this for the MAC. It will happen to one of them one day if a big, big stink isn't raised. And Miami and Toledo are the only teams with a stage to do so.

I that isn't clear enough for you, and you take my armband suggestion as "unprecedentedly selfless that would benefit Akron" then you are one ignorant dude. Otherwise, you are a liar. It is one or the other.My original post is easily searched on this site. Since you are still obsessed with it 6 months after it was originally posted, you might want to check it out.As an OSU fan, you have no idea what is feels like when the NCAA screws you over. None whatsoever. The rules are all made to suit the BCS schools. Pain? Shock? Outrage? You didn't get to experience any of it. Lucky you.I will give you one opportunity to respond. Then I am locking the thread. If BuckZip wants to give you some cute smilie in support of his lying/ignorant Buckeye bud, I'll let that stand too. I think it is great that you guys stick together.

Why am I being brought up in the conversation?I don't even know what you guys are talking about with this Charlie Coles thing.AS for what it feels like being screwed, I was at the UA/Miami Bball game. When Miami made that lucky last shot, my stomach sank into my knees. My only saving grace was that I "KNEW" UA would at least do well in the NIT.......Imagine my feeling when they were screw out of that chance.Captain, I think that because of your hatred for all things OSU, you hold some unwarranted grudges.I really don't feel the need to apologize for growing up with UA as a DII(JV team)And following OSU. I also don't feel the need to have to apologize for attending, loving and following both of my Alma Maters.Believe it or not, there are people that have attended both Can't and UA. Oh my, shame on them for wanting to be sure they got they education that they wanted. After all, the only thing that should matter is sports when choosing a collegeTo me a frontrunner is a guy born and raised in NE Ohio but becomes a Steeler or Yankee fan for no apperent reason. Not a guy who was born and raised in Akron, Ohio without a major DI sports team, so they decided to follow the "only" major DI sports team there was that they could follow. Then decided to get their graduate degree from a school with a very respected graduate program in that field. There are many reasons that people root for who they root for. Not everyone is a frontrunner because they don't root fot the home team.I really don't understand this animosity. I don't understand why some posters try to drive away the few fans that there are. By constantly attacking, that is what they are doing. I am glad you are locking this thread.No good comes from this constant bickering. I thought this was a sports board.
