72 Roo

Delano did not convince me that we can't get 6 wins. His only significant position analysis was on Poff at QB. There are some sure MAC losses such as Miami and WMU, but Kent, UMass, EMU, CMU and Buffalo are winnable. Add them to RMU and we have six. OU is the only school that give me pause to say we can win.

Very optimistic expectations. I also believe Poff is that good, but both lines need to be rebuilt. 6-6 is more realistic and 7-5 is fantastic. I hope you know more than me and I would love to see 7-5 or 8-4. I am eager to see this team play. Go Zips!

You forgot to note that Joe inherited a season ticket base that has a waiting list and attendance that gives the Zips a decided advantage with our twelfth man. Texas A & M has nothing on us. Also how about Joe getting his budget cut every year for the last four. That freed up tons of money for our award winning marketing campaigns. Football at Akron is much fought over program to lead.

I don't believe the soccer playing conferences would not support this. The coaches recommended overwhelming approval of the two season concept. According to Jared the conferences that cared about soccer (BE, ACC, Sunbelt) were the ones driving this proposal. It is a complete joke that the cabinet sent the proposal back to the oversight committee to investigate the affect it would have on academics. Anyone who knew what D1 soccer players go thru in a season that has up to 3 games in 5 or 6 days would know the split in seasons with one game a week is far better for the players and their academics. If they cared about the athletes they would rush to this concept. Injuries would also be significantly reduced with more time for rest and time for treatment. I hope this concept is adopted.

Richie was outstanding today. Congratulations to him and the Canadian team. They can win their pod.

I question any Zip fan who is skipping a key Zip event like a golf outing for a meager excuse like his wedding. It seems Kreed has had his head turned by a subversive KSU spy masquerading as a love interest. Be very careful my friend. We would hate to lose you to the dark side. May the Zippy be with you.

Thanks for this post ZIP_ME87. We are truly blessed to have young men of high character coming thru our program. Cudos to the coaches for building and perpetuating the culture of Akron soccer. It is a fact that our culture is like no other. That is repeatedly voiced by new people coming into the program.

Another great interview. Remi is so well spoken. He made the interview interesting with well thought out answers. It is obvious he and his teammates believe this will be an exceptional season. I also believe them.

Do not take this as gospel, but I believe the reasons for losing our top three pictures was one had a skiing accident, another had testicular cancer that has been successfully treated and the last spiked himself causing a horrific gash that necessitated sutures and rest for the remainder of the season.

You are not in the extreme minority. This team is slowly rebuilding with the biggest jump at QB. 6-6 is definitely within their grasp and 7-5 is possible, but not probable. Regards the football budget, I am not worried. Goodrich and Pottorff know it is low and they are working to add to it while suffering the cuts the university has mandated to right its financial situation. Both will be resolved over time. As mentioned in another post today we are a program that competes well in most every sport. Baseball would have been a top competitor had they not lost their top three pitchers this season, all of whom will be back.

This is a travesty. Nothing short of it. Not only should Nicholson and Goodrich pursue it, but Steinbrecher of the MAC needs to raise hell. Incompetence does not justify this decision. It affected the outcome of the game and that is not tolerable. I am not a conspiracy guy, but this has all the makings of one. We probably would have lost to LSU again, yet our team deserved the recognition for beating #12 Va Tech.

This was a great interview. Thanks for sharing. We are lucky to have Michael on our coaching staff. he will make a good head coach some day.

I'm assuming he is a preferred walk-on as we don't necessarily need help at his position. I'm hoping we are having our last three scholarships for the DL or OL. Any thoughts?

Outstanding game ladies! They never gave up battling to the very end. That grand slam walk-off homer has to be one of the greatest moments in Zip softball history. Hope the stadium is filled tomorrow with rabid Zip fans.

He has no shame.😱
