Blue & Gold Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yup, one thing I've really noticed about the VAST majority of Zips' fans (and appreciate) is that if a player is hustling, we love them and support them 100%! It doesn't matter if a player has a bad game, or a bad season, or isn't as talented or naturally gifted as we'd hope. As long as they're hustling, we absolutely LOVE them and are the biggest homers on planet earth! We honestly care about our players as people, and don't just care about wins-and-losses or on-court production. That should take a lot of pressure off you guys; just go out, play hard, have fun and, win or lose, we love ya!Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MVP chant started because it was about the same time Cavs fans were chanting "MVP" for LeBron and he missed two crucial free throws at the end of a game. The following night, Nate Linhart dove and fought for a loose ball while the Zips led by 20 late in the game. I said, "Screw LeBron, that's my MVP." It's fun to cheer for wins, and boo the losses, but you have to respect the dedication and heart the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I see you out there going through the motions during warm-ups and always wonder if you still think your decision to come to Akron was a good one. Thanks for the post letting the rest of us know you're enjoying your time here at Akron and are content to work hard in practice, in the classroom, and bide your time until your day to step out on the court comes. I don't think there is any doubt that KD isn't afraid to throw a freshman out there if he feels they're ready - see Steve McNeese. I wouldn't have any problem if you follow in his footsteps! The fans have certainly embraced him.No doubt, as everyone above me has said, we appreciate guys who WANT to be here, give 100% on the court (win or lose), and represent themselves and the University of Akron well in public. Yeah, we like to win and I'd like to think that good-character guys who hustle will produce their fair share of those.I'm sure I speak for others when I say I'd LOVE to see you out there helping to guard against OU's post play tonight and look forward to watching you play and contribute in the future. GO ZIPS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It is great to see your enthusiasm for the Program remains sky high! I spoke to a Zips coach at the Golf Outing this year and he was lamenting the fact that, back in his playing days as a Freshman, he played a whopping 39 minutes. At the time he really opposed red shirting, but when his senior year rolled around he realized trading a year's eligibility for 39 minutes of PT was a bad deal. Hang in there and enjoy UA! Your time will come!Here's looking forward to your 4 full seasons on the court, beginning in 2008-9! And remember: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 USAir1493,Hang in there and keep the shoutouts coming. You are one of us and that's agreat place to be. I was a five year man and ended up loving every year. By the time you leave this campus will have a new football stadium, three new dorms, a new soccer stadium, the 4.6 acre outdoor living room (park and gardens) will be built, Carroll and Memorial Halls will be replaced by a beautiful academic buiding, we will be the envy of the MAC, University Village (condos) will be started and you will be burstin' at the seams to be a Zip! A lot of people have left you a good situation and you will pay them back by leaving a great situation for some new athlete. By then you too will be passing on to others that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
