RootforRoo44 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just letting everyone out there with a facebook account know about the new Akron Football Application. Just like the basketball one but with some other new features. It includes Trivia with leader boards, the ability to smack talk/post Zips pictures/videos on friends' walls, quizzes, a forum, and a gameday wall for each upcoming game where the two teams fans can trash talk before the game. The links for both the basketball and football applications are below so add them if you haven't already...Akron Football Facebook ApplicationAkron Basketball Facebook Application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootforRoo44 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for everyone adding this, we are already in 7th place in the MAC in terms of people on here. Here's the standings w/ the date the application was added indicated in red. As you can see we are growing at a pretty fast rate. Make sure to recruit people if you have already added it.

ZachTheZip Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Bringing this thing back. Join up, pile on the Can't State hate!In football we're only ranked as the #100 team in terms of fans. We're #84 in the basketball one. We always like to see more people join. You can take a Zips trivia challenge, and add your own questions if you know something we're missing. Talk smack with the other team's fans, and see how we compare as a fanbase.If these two things are the only two uses you have for Facebook, so be it.Here's where we stand so far:Football:Basketball: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think we need one for UA soccer as well. Is that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think we need one for UA soccer as well. Is that possible?The thing is, these applications are made for an entire sport, with pages customized for individual teams. As far as I know, no one has created one for collegiate soccer.

Is that possible?The thing is, these applications are made for an entire sport, with pages customized for individual teams. As far as I know, no one has created one for collegiate soccer.Yeah there are not even applications for college soccer or baseball yet. Personally i think they should just combine them all into a general Akron Zips Athletics application. Good news is we are 6th in the conference now (though only 93 in the nation) If you haven't added this yet, you are missing out on some quality Can't state bashing by the entire mac on this thing as well as an amazing amount of ball state vs akron hatred.2500+ people have already added, why dont you?Akron Football ApplicationAkron Basketball Application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgm405 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I also made an Akron Zips fan page - become a fan!http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Ak...ips/29190364069 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Bumping this back up for all the new ZN members that have joined in the past year. Seriously, join the facebook pages. We're currently 10th in the MAC in terms of Facebook fans. That's pathetic. We only have 3,600 fans, while BG has 8,400 and Ball State has over 15,800 fans for the football app.We are #1 the MAC in basketball, but only with 2400 fans. Come on. We're the freaking MAC champions and I know we have more fans that that unless all those people at the Q were Buffalo fans in disguise.

Holy crap, miami hasn't even broke 50 yet? I thank god every day I didn't enroll there. I was THAT close too...whew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootforRoo44 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Updated fan standings:Though we may be losing by alot in football, we do actually have more points than many of the other teams. From user interactions and what not.It is lame though that only 3500+ people have added that and there are other MAC schools with 5 times as many fans.
