I heard @LZIp volunteered as tribute. I didn't know he cared so much about @Blue & Gold. Here was a live look at the courageous moment...

Hard to be perfect. Damn.

Is that stat keeper getting the styles of play mixed up with the 8-3 foul margin? I've never seen an OSUcks soccer team (or any Big Ten team, really) NOT have an aggressive, foul-heavy style of play.

Another note regarding B10Network+... Games against Penn State (Oct 13th) and Michigan (Oct 18th) are not on the B10Network+ schedule. Also not sure how to continue with the subscription for strictly soccer, as the "Select Pass" button disappears upon selecting Soccer. I emailed their support staff, but am not holding my breath for a quick response. I'm assuming most of the Big Ten are too busy getting their panties in a twist over the Urban-to-USC rumors and how that affects their partnership with the Pac12. The rest are scrambling to figure out which team gives them the best odds of getting into the College Football Playoff after OSUcks embarrassing loss to Oregon this past weekend, when the Suckeyes got their nuts "quacked".

Lots of respect aimed at Akron with this.

When facing another G5 team that has a nice upset over a P5 school that season, if we win, the joke is always, "Well that means we could beat (insert the aforementioned P5 school here)." I want to say we could beat Rhode Island and Sacred Heart.

Hence, "I'm not saying I want JB." We need an outside-the-box guy with a competitive spirit who will deploy creative tactics for recruiting & play calling.

Coach JB from Last Chance U was on the Pat McAfee Show yesterday, and mentioned Akron by name as a program he could turn around. I'm not saying I want JB with his questionable past, but this program desperately needs someone like him from a competitive, out-of-the-box thinking sense. We make this whole football thing look a lot harder than it really is. Is it possible, in the age of weird contracts to fit any situation, to include a clause where, if a certain record isn't met, the remainder of the contract is voided upon firing?

Awful play call. Irons needed to do more, but he was put in a poor position by the coaches. Let's see what kind of coach Arth is.

6 years in a D1 strength training program, and Kato's arm strength is garbage. DJ Irons time.

14-0!!!!!!!

Heck of a job by Embick to get this program back to where it belongs. Watched almost the entire match on my phone at the Indians game last night. Phenomenal match. The quick answer to their goal shows where this program is competitively.

Love these uniforms. The blue with the gold accent and bold letters is incredibly sharp.

Agreed. This is year 2.5 for Arth. Regardless of how bare the cupboards were when he took over, and regardless of how much the Rona season hurt the development of the program, there are simple things a DI coach should be able to do. 1) Recognize which player(s) put the team in the best position to win (cough DJ Irons cough). 2) Compete against similar-level DI programs (G5). Not starting DJ Irons and a blowout loss to Temple would put the final nail in the coffin for me with Arth.

Akron soccer is BACK! E-I-E-I-E-I-O! TO THE COLLEGE CUP WE GO! WHEN WE GET THERE, THIS IS WHAT WE'LL SING: WE ARE AKRON! WE ARE AKRON! WE ARE SOCCER KINGS!
