GoZips88 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 "IO/TAL Syndrome" ... I'm sure I'm not the only Zip fan who develops a case of this from time to time. Happens 70-80% of the time when I travel 2+ hours to watch Zip football away from home and probably a little less frequently when I do the same for men's basketball. The day starts out just fine - all pumped up and optimistic when I leave the house and time flies driving to the opposing team's stadium or arena. The Syndrome starts to set in JUST after a Zips loss (70-80% of the time I travel to watch the football team play and a little less frequently for men's basketball). Walking back to the car and most of the way home, I can't help but think "If Only we had stopped them on 3rd-and-22 ... If Only he had made one more free throw ... If Only ... we may have won." Somewhere in the middle of the drive home it begins to feel like it's taking Twice As Long to get home as it did to get there! Here's hoping ALL of those great VCU fans who are making the 7-8 hour drive up from Richmond head back home with a nasty case of IO/TAL! (or at least feel like total crap like I usually do!)Many reasons to bring the "A" game tomorrow - LET'S GO ZIPS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 What time is everyone planning to start in the parking deck? As a relative newbie, I would like to meet some fellow posters. Thinking about bringing my Cleveland Browns cornhole (I need to convince my brother to make me a new set that I can paint into Zips colors to bring to football tailgating next year).9:30 AM.

We'll be doing our tailgating there. If you're not familiar with "Pints," it's on exchange (the same side as bw3) but down about a half-block towards brown st. Join us!
