Zipgrad01 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 You know...I have made it a point since Sunday to not come on this site because I knew I would probably get upset with all the garbage smack talk being thrown around. However, I never thought that people would take it to this level. OSU fans have come on this board to talk football and all they get are insults about them, their team, their school and basically everything else they comment on. They have been friendly and do not deserve the treatment they are getting. What is wrong with you guys? Grow up and be respectful of your opponent. You act like a bunch of 5 year olds and sadly enough it is people like you that hurt this programs image. You think your insults and smack talking is cute, but everyone on earth besides the 100 members of this board thinks you are an embarrassment to them and the institution in which you represent. If you can't have a civilized football conversation about the upcoming game just keep your mouths shut. Go to the OSU sites and see what they are saying about Akron. They are posting articles from spring ball, etc.. and discussing what looks we will bring their team. Not one person is ripping this university. They are posting some of your quotes and just laughing because it makes you look silly. I have read "little mans complex" about a dozen times. Haven't I said that to some of you before? Here we are....the little nobody MAC school that has won nothing, and you think it makes you look big and bad and proud to pick on the big guy. You guys remind me of high school. You are the little punk than runs your mouth about how good you are and how tough you are. You are the typical "little man" bully. What you can't make up in stature or accomplishments, you make up in shit talk. Just do everyone a favor and talk about the game. Leave your nuking and puking on Brutus comments, your Columbus insults, your OSU insults and your rude behavior to visiting posters at home.If you want to rip on me fine, but you are the ones that look like children. Just have fun and enjoy this week. It is big for the program. Lets not ruin it by being assholes. Unlike some of you....I am going to the game. I don't want to feel threatened because a few of you idiots decide to insult and piss off basically 75% of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zff Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So let me try to understand this. Becasue OSU is the big brother we can not talk smack and just have to be nice about the up coming game. Because since 75% of the state likes OSU and they have bowed down to play us we should be nice and take are beating and go home. Also be thankful for the national spot light by playing the mighty Buckeyes. I think it is really great the 75% like what looks we can provide their team for a national championship run!!!! Ok, thanks Dad you make a great point. And then next wek we can go back to our old ways becuase the state and national spot light are off. And oly 5% of the state will be talking Zips football.

g-mann17 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm sorry Zipgrad01. I didn't know that OSU wasn't mocking us. Oh yeah that's right all OSU fans are respectful I forgot. That's why they respect Michigan fans right in the back of the head with rocks and fists. That's why they are completely hostile if you wear opposing colors. Yep that's respect.And if they did respect us they would already know about us. Not just now 4 days before the game be reading up on our players and playing style. The OSU fans on here have been for the most part respectful, and most have not been accosted by the member of this board. The fact of the matter is that this is a football competition not a chess match. So some smack talking is allowed. If they can't deal with it then they have the problem. But no Zip fan should have to be "Yes sir, that is a very good point, you are right sir" to some OSU fan. To paraphrase Butchie Washington "At least we know what we are, we's a Zip!"What are you Zipgrad01? What colors will you be flying on Saturday?

Zipgrad01 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Not your dad for one.No. Is that what you got from my 75% comment? I meant nothing of the sort. My main point is there is no need for adults to act like children and attack visiting posters. It makes us look uneducated and rude and it is not a good representation of our fine institution. I don't expect Akron or its fans to bow down to anyone. I, as well as the rest of you hope we go down there and kick their ass, but acting like little punks does not help this team beat OSU. Do you realize how many visiting posters are viewing these boards since we are playing OSU? A lot. Do want want some of this garbage to be the way that people view your university? I surely don't. Respect your opponent and their fans and let your team take care of business on the field. Granted, some fun jabbing back and forth is always fun, but the obnoxious insults are uncalled for. You gain respect for giving it, not by tossing insults. We haven't EARNED peoples respect yet as a fan base or a program. Acting like a child puts up back a notch or 2.

ZippyRulz Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I agree there should be civil discussion of the upcoming game but it wasn't long ago that one of them came on here instructing us to bow down to them and quit siphoning off state resources that could make them be more like UM. http://zipsnation.org/index.php?showtopic=...indpost&p=42021 Maybe they're the ones that have a (God) complex.Appie St. 34 Michigan 32.

Zipgrad01 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 g-mann, I am not going to argue with you AGAIN today. Look for yourself and go to Buckeyeplanet and read what they are saying about Akron. NOBODY is ripping on Akron or the institution. They just sit back and say "wow. Wonder why these guys are acting like this!!" It makes us look bad. They talk about how they root for us any time we play an out of state opponent, etc... They wish nothing but success for our program and hope for a good game.As for their fans. Yeah, they have some very rude and a-hole fans, but most of them are pretty decent. All it takes are a few a-holes to ruin it for everyone. But, look how other universities feel about their fan base. They hate them. Do you want to be lumped in with that crowd? The comments on here are a good start to being lumped in with that crowd.When did you hear me say you need to say "yes sir, no sir?" I said don't be rude and start fights just for the sake of insulting an opponent!!! There is no need to talk about vomiting on a teams mascot when a poster is saying hello and looking to talk respectfully about your team. I don't care what team it is, it is uncalled for.You are right. This is a football competition, however, you aren't playing in the game are you? Therefore, you have no reason to act like an ass. As I said...there are always jabs back and forth, but these insults are beyond sportsmanlike. You are a fan. Act like one. Don't come at me by asking me what colors I will be wearing. Are you even going to the game? I will be there. As for the smack talk...it did get shifted there one time when we actually HAD a conversation about the OSU game. But, it got sent to the smack board when 2 of us got attacked for saying OSU had superior talent. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't come at me by asking me what colors I will be wearing. Are you even going to the game? I will be there. First, what is your right to act like an ass, ever since I joined this board that's all you have done. And yes you do act like an ass, just now with this new thread, you are saying "Listen to me, I am all knowing, the Poor OSU fans are sad because the Zips fans are being mean." You insult the board "the 100 of you that post". You insult us by saying that we are rude, crude and a bad representative of The University of Akron. I would say what is a bad image of the University of Akron is Alumni that fly other schools colors. That is a bad representation. The wishy washy Zips fan. Second, You ducked the question. Are you flying Blue and Gold or are you blending in. We all already know the answer.And no, I am not going to the game. For two good reasons. First, I am not going to allow myself to be assaulted by OSU fans when I cheer on my team. Second, I am not going to contribute any more money to that program when they don't have enough respect to play a MAC school at their home stadium. The Zips get their 375 grand whether the students and season ticket holders buy those tickets or not. So F OSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have been an ass? Why? Because I don't drink the Kool Aid you dish out? Because I correct all your factual errors? Because I don't like to see the people of MY ALMA MATER act like cave men? That makes me an ass? If so, then I am an ass alright.I never said I was all knowing as you suggest. Also, I never said OSU posters were sad that people like you were being idiots. Frankly, most of them could care less what you say about them. They just laugh at you. If you are the star quarterback, do you really care what the 5'5 130 backup says about you? You just shake your head and say "little mans syndrome."Yes, YOU are a bad image to the university. Your actions are not of a person with a higher education. You act like the guy drinking his Busch Lite in the trailer park talking crap about his neighbor because he has something you don't.As for the 100 poster thing. There are 7 people on here posting right now. I guarantee there are not many more than 100 people on here that post regularly. 100 may even be stretching it. How is that an insult? It is just an educated guess from my observations of being on this board.Once again you say I am an OSU flag waver. How do you know I will be doing this Saturday? Will you be there to see me? Better yet...are you even an Akron graduate? Are you a season ticket holder? You have the balls to call me out for being an OSU fan when your lazy ass isn't even going to Columbus to support "your team." I, however, am going to support Akron. Um, OSU fans won't be assaulting Akron fans. They have no desire to assault fans of in state schools. Most of them will probably invite you to their tailgate party for a beer and wish you luck. You will always have your a-hole here and there making a comment, but they will be just fine as a whole. And a-hole....just for the record....do you want me to post my picture on here from the 01 game where I was in the shoe wearing my AKRON T-SHIRT and my AKRON HAT sitting in the stands getting my picture taken with Zippy? You don't know jack shit about anything, so please stop posting your replys. You just dumb down the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you are a little tempermental though. And quite the big crybaby when people disagree with you. You seem to talk a lot but do very little. Call me out for not going when you know nothing, like I said, why should I pay OSU 50 dollars to sit 200 feet away from the field and deal with a bunch of drunk a$$holes. I've been to the shoe for OSU games, all they do is assault and harrass fans of the other team. All you do is come on here and talk trash to people who bash your opinion. You have facts that you google, and take the first source you get.Second I have 2 degrees from the Universiy of Akron, my wife has 2 degrees from the University of Akron, my brother, and best friend both have degrees from the University of Akron. The only one acting like a Caveman is you. Thumping your chest, and telling the people of this board what to do and how to behave. It speaks more highly that we have passion for our own team then it does that we have respect for OSU. You are the biggest insult to the University of Akron. And go ahead post your picture of you at the 01 game when you were a student or just freshly graduated, with your Akron shirt on (that's really hard to do). You are a taint on this board and you know very well you are.Never, talk about me like you know me because you don't know dick (well you probably know dick very personally but from a different point of view if you catch my drift). Never, question my faith in my Alma Mater. Never, talk down about any program at the school or their chances of winning a game. I believe everyone on here is sick of you, and I doubt very seriously that you would be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I will be flying the Blue and Gold. And I already know that Columbus State fans are classless. I've been there before, and so have many, many other people I know, including Ohio State fans, and they all say the same thing. Columbus State fans are the worst in the country when it comes to the treatment they give to visiting fans.I certainly understand that some people on this board want to be "mature", and "not stoop to their level". But honestly, I like seeing some of this "we're going to dish it out too" attitude from the Zips fans. It shows that we aren't going to go lay down this week, as fans, and as a team.We need this kind of attitude going into this Saturday. I just hope everyone keeps it clean.

Lone Zip in Col Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I certainly understand that some people on this board want to be "mature", and "not stoop to their level". But honestly, I like seeing some of this "we're going to dish it out too" attitude from the Zips fans.I recall a few years ago when Texas came to Columbus, many Longhorn fans were subjected to objects being thrown at them as well as verbal abuse well over and beyond 'friendly jests'. However, when Longhorn fans were given the chance to return the favor last year, I don't recall any Buckeye fans being mistreated. Instead, the Columbus media mentioned that Buckeye fans were treated to nothing but Texas hospitality. Living in Columbus, and despite not being a Buckeye in anyway, I admit that I felt a little ashamed that a certain element of the community I reside exists that perhaps doesn't in Austin. Stooping to that element's level would only reflects poorly on the Zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippysgotagun Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I just can't wait until Saturday around 4 pm so this shit can finally end. For Christ's sake, it's one fucking game people...And for the record, zipgrad is right. I don't see much of a reason to treat fans of another university who are trying to carry on normal conversation like they are less than human.

Class of 82 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Good grief. I'm certainly not in favor of being rude to anyone, but what the heck is wrong with a little smack talk?And as for insulting Columbus Tech, I don't see much wrong with that, either.If what I've seen on this board is truly upsetting to OSU fans, then they need thicker skins, not pity from me.Go ZIPS!

Brutus There is nothing wrong with smack.However, when someone from another board comes over to discuss the game and is respectful in there posts, it is not always the best time to talk smack.Usually, and this is just my opinion, you talk smack once the visitor starts it. Then it is on. Have at it.But when someone comes over to discuss the game, that is a little rude.There is a difference between smack and attacking. "Some", not all, on this board like to attack.
