Apologia

[Class of 82]

Well, fellas and fellinas, it seems some of the friendly folks at buckeye planet are a mite miffed that some Akron fans (mea culpa) are freely flinging smack bombs at their cherished cathedral of self-righteousity. Sheesh. It almost makes me think that if we were all nice and friendly-- throwing in a few grovels and several shovelfuls of aw-shucks-- then Akron football might actually get a few compliments.So, on behalf of my smack-talking self, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone who takes my smack too seriously. It's just so darned much FUN that I often can't help myself.Tell you what I won't do, though. I will not hang my head. I will not grovel. I will not be intimidated or feel inferior.We are Akron. We are the Zips.Class of 82P.S. I am truly sorry, but Brutus-- crazy little nutjob that he is-- is making me sick again... Brutus

Interesting... As a member of buckeyeplanet I can't imagine that people are seriously miffed, pissed, tweaked, or whatever else you might like to call it....We can all certainly banter with the best of it.Good Luck with the remainder of your season (after this Saturday of course.)Hopefully we will see a good injury-free game come Saturday.GO BUCKS!!

Greetings, and good luck to you, too. You appear to be one of the higher forms of Columbus Tech bacteriology. One correction, though. I said "a mite miffed." That is several magnitudes short of "seriously miffed." A "mite" is a tiny, 8-legged member of the spider family. I just love clever metaphors like that.Class of 82P.S. While I am certainly "sick" of Ohio State, I reserve actual hatred for things like murder, human suffering, thievery, etc.

What did you say that would, heaven forfend, cause such offense to the sacred institution in Cowlumbus, Harvard of the Midwest that it is (or at least thinks itself to be).

Interesting. I've been casually browsing the OSU forums the last couple days from time to time and if it weren't for a short thread or two you'd barely know this game existed. Most of Buckeye Nation is patting itself on the back for App. St. beating Michigan (you'd think they had something to do with it). A few are questioning the effectiveness of Beanie Wells. Other than that I've barely seen or heard a peep about Akron, or their game against YSU last week for that matter. I must be on the wrong forums. One way or another GO ZIPS!!!

Maybe their team is going about this game the same way.

One can only hope.
