Nice stadium with crap turf. I'll take our immaculate grass field.

Kent state and Cornell are shooting 3s like it’s the NBA 58-55 Kent at half

So many good looks man. Feels like a hockey game with stretch of good looks

Would be a lot less stressful if there was OT

Oh man Morck had an easy one there

In case anyone didn't see the scenarios for Akron to make the Big East tournament. So it looks like St. John's could still sneak into the tournament if we don't take care of business.

I could really play a $2,000,000 kazoo or vuvuzela.

And a lot of our guys seem to be "falling". Lot of contact being allowed.

Really dislike #11 on Creighton. Especially when in the first 11 seconds of the game he slammed into someone and then acted like he was the one that was deathly injured.

And the stream looks 1080p god bless

Everyone is gonna be gassed by halftime in this one

Give @Hilltopper and @clarkwgriswold a 2 million dollar accordion and tell me how melodic the tunes are when they squeeze it. Getting 2 million dollars in NIL money can be easy. Finding players that are worth a damn is a different story. The Mets had a massive payroll and stink this year. The Browns threw a bajillon dollars at a QB who couldn’t possibly have had more red flags. The Zips have gone 0-11 when they were playing with the same budget as the other MAC programs. Today we’re actually better than some teams that are outspending us. Joe is looking at a very realistic 6-6 season, where he’s had an on/off trading table to feed his Division 1 athletes, he was not allowed to travel and recruit this spring, he lost his on-line recruiting subscriptions, has the smallest staff and budget in D-1, allowed 25% fewer practices than his competition…one could argue this season is as miraculous as any in Zips history. This staff is here because they believe in Akron. Brookhart’s kids were born here. Moorhead is from less than 2 hours away and really values being close to family over a fat contract. Ferri is a local guy who loves being back in NE Ohio. Tibesar is a wizard when in comes to scheming to outwit opposing offenses with a random assortment of mercenary talent. Hope the AD doesn’t blow this and tell Joe he needs to win 7 games or he’s out next year. Support this staff who’s worked miracles in 2025 and see how it plays out. If we lose to Kent this week I have no problems accepting ridicule. But we won’t. Football is interesting and fun again. Go Zips! 🦘💪🏽

We have a nice stadium compared to many schools but this Creighton stadium is next level. My goodness.

nice to see Remi back in the starting lineup full season Starter Jose Pedro is not in lineup

Akron would lose out in a 3 way tie with UConn and Providence.... Under the scenario, you mention.........Akron needs St. John's to win as well as Seton Hall and Georgetown Akron would claim the 4th spot in a 4 team tie Let's make all of this moot !!!!! Beat Creighton !!!!

Akron football definitely has some amount of money. Bud helped setup their NIL a year and a half ago. He talked about it in an interview. It's just a very small amount they have, perhaps smallest in the MAC. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Now that the NCAA allows schools to pay players directly Akron needs to schedule 3 P5 paycheck games a year. Take half the money collected from games 2 and 3 and invest it in the roster. That would generate an additional $1M-$1.5M in NIL. The MAC is garbage. We can go 1-3 in OOC play and still go 5-3 to make a bowl as can be seen this year.

zips also make it with a draw........and a Seton Hall win.....and a Providence tie Providence and Akron would finish tied with 14 points if UConn wins tonight and Providence and Akron draw tonight, Akron loses tiebreaker to Providence in that case Akron would win tiebreaker with a draw Plus PC tie and SHU wins  PC and Akron tied at 14 points • Common Opponents: SHU; XU; SJU; MU; UC; DPU o PC 3-2-1 (10P); Akron 3-2-1 (10P) • Common Opponents Standing Order: SHU o PC Lost, Akron Tied  Akron No. 4 seed, PC OUT If Providence loses, Akron draws...and UConn and Seton Hall play to a draw.....Akron does not make the tournament Plus PC Loss and SHU/UConn Ties  SHU/Akron/UConn tied at 14 points • Mini Conference: UConn 1-0-1 (4P), SHU 0-0-2 (2P), AKR 0-1-1 (1P) o UConn No. 3 seed  Akron and SHU still tied return to tiebreaker 1 • Tied head-to-head • Common Opponents: UConn L/T; SJU L/W; MU W/W, CU T/T o SHU 2-0-2 (8P), Akron 1-2-1 (4P)  SHU No. 4 seed; Akron OUT

UMass also just hired the AD from Rhode Island to be their 2nd AD for them. They're pretty much paying him ~$380k to just oversee football operations. Their current AD will oversee the other sports. They're very much stepping up financially to try to compete on the field. Hopefully the UMass football coach is as inefficient at spending his war chest of money as Frank Martin has been with his.

Noon game time doesn't help. Will the concession stand be offering brunch? 😉

Zips at -11.5 on Draft Kings.

It's a video of Cathy Nesbit-Stein from Dance Moms teaching President Nemer and some of the guys the Cha-Cha. If this site had better upload capability I would post it.

She attends quite a few games every year. I see her in Tommy Evans on the regular.

I don’t want an instagram account, but I would like to know what Hilltopper’s video is about.

That's correct, I believe. I had initially thought it would be better for UConn to beat Seton Hall but then TennZip's post helped me realize it would be better for Seton Hall to win. A win and obviously the Zips are #2 seed. A draw and we'd make it with a Providence loss and a NON-draw between Seton Hall and UConn. A loss and there's still a chance to make it if Seton Hall and Georgetown both win...I think.

Don’t forget about the loss to YSU. (joking).
