ZachTheZip Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Relax. We're just going to be overlooked. We might be able to sneak up on a few teams. Plus, Can't State is now cursed by being picked first. Maybe we can extend our winning streak over them even longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 That makes me mad. Again we get no respect. just because we lose two star players (Dru and Romeo), we are now the 4th best team in the MAC? Unbelieveable!!! :mad_flame: :mad_flame: :mad_flame: they will learn that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 In my humble opinion, Dru and Rome despite being two of the best things to happen in Akron sports, will not be missed at all.In fact i would take the J-wood-Dials combo over Rome-Dru any day of the week. Add Ced and Quade and you got four senior leaders with a whole lot of raw talents. I wouldn't worry about the meida... when was the last time they had it right anyways?I know that Can't state will be tough, really tough and i kind of agree with them being on top... but Ohio?!!! they were horrible at the end of last year. And Miami! why ? because they won last year's MAC ? that's not too convincing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I like being the underdog. Makes it more fun when we win.every day, EVERY MINUTE, every picosecond... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think this team may struggle to get going early as they add the new talent and others start to play a larger role. With that said I think this team will gel as the season goes on and probably be playing their best baseball at the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaglet1 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 First off, its a preseason poll, it means nothing. However, I can see any of those teams listed 1-4 in the east winning the tourny. They key, as always is to get that first round bye. Can't always has a solid, but beatable team. Miami still has Politz and Uncle Charlie, and if Ohio can get any PG play (hasnt OU had a PG transfer out for the last few years?) they should be good with their front line. Wood / Politz / Williams / Reitz should make for some grat matchups. Overall I think things will be balanced, and fun to watch in the East.Personally, I think Romeo will be missed. He wasn't POY for nothing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipfan 81 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Big ZipI think you meant basketball didnt you? haha. I do agree about Miami and Ohio coming in ahead of us, that is so wrong... we will have the last laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Guys,We're going to start a freshman at point guard. That's reason for concern amongst anyone who might be prognosticating our conference. Don't disregard Ohio. They had two of the best inside players in the league, and both are returning.Miami has only lost Nathan Peavey, and a part-time big stiff on the inside.Can't clearly is loaded with talent, and all 5 starters return.Listen. This poll is not out of whack. It's up to us to prove that we can overcome this and win against these teams, who clearly have some advantages over us heading into the start of the season.

Hilltopper Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 These preseason polls are just guesses on what might be the strongest teams based on last years returning players and any newcomers. What makes me confident that the Zips will be OK at the end of the year is KD's ability to coach up the players all season long. Since KD has been here every player has improved continuesly from season to season, sometimes game to game. As long as we don't have a rash of injuries we will have a great season.

GP1 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I don't follow the basketball team close enough to know if this is a good poll or not, but I do believe Akron blew the MACC last year against a bad team. They were badly out-played and out-coached by Charlie Coles and his traveling suburban team. As far as I'm concerned, KD and the boys owe you die hard fans a championship in a season where they are not supposed to win it. This should be that year.I'm serious...all of you die hard fans are holding an IOU from the bb program and you should demand to collect this season.Good luck to the die hards!

Zips Win! Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 They were badly out-played and out-coached by Charlie Coles and his traveling suburban team.....Glacially slow was better!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kflasher Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Jeremiah Wood Makes all F lash fans nervous this upcoming season. We will be OK though. Depth shouldn't be a problem. I'm looking forward to an exciting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
