I would pay extra every year....if they did special bobbleheads. Darlington Nagbe bobblehead !!! Richie Laryea Bobblehead !!! Scott Caldwell goal scoring bobblehead !!! Wil Trapp bobblehead !!! David "Big Sexy" Meves bobblehead !!! Anthony Ampaipitakwong !! Steve Zakuani bobblehead !!! Teal Bunbury bobblehead !!!

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=55064&articleTitle=tds-mens-player-of-the-year-leaderboard I didn't want to create a separate topic for this. If you click on the article above, you can see that Top Drawer Soccer has identified Mitch as one of the 10 players that should be considered as the best college soccer player of the year. The Player of the Year leaderboard is a weekly list of the ten players making the best case to win the prestigious award. The latest update features three newcomers who have helped their programs to historic starts. Mitch Budler, Akron (Newcomer) Budler breaks into the leaderboard thanks to an incredible start to the season, where Akron is yet to concede a goal despite playing four teams that have been nationally ranked at one point or another. The reigning Big East goalkeeper of the year has so far proven he may be the best in the country.

great exposure for Zips soccer

Number 6 Louisville improved to 5-0-0 with a win at Ohio State Bellarmine 1 Northern Kentucky 0 Georgetown 4. James Madison 0

No disrespect to David Meves. Mitch Budler is better. Mitch is truly outstanding. Speaking of fullbacks, there needs to be an investigation if Ashton Kamdem is not all Big East this year. Ashton is an excellent left outside back.

the actual you tube video probably has better quality than the Beacon video

The Beacon Journal has a 3 minute 52 second video....from the press conference https://www.beaconjournal.com/videos/sports/college/soccer/2025/09/09/akron-zips-mens-soccer-western-michigan-jared-embick/86068237007/

Before tonight’s game at number 2 Clemson, the VCU Rams had a 1-3-1 record final from Clemson , SC VCU 2 Number 2 Clemson 1 tonight’s final score from Burlington, VT unranked Dartmouth and number 13 Vermont battled to a 3-3 draw. Great win for VCU. That will help the RPI of the Zips.

Chad Wiseman, the Western Michigan coach, has an outstanding record against the Zips. Every soccer game is a challenge. The zips can not afford to being looking ahead to their top 10 matchup on Saturday. Chad Wiseman knows how to prepare for the Akron offensive game plan. The Zips owe a ton of payback to the Broncos. From 2019 to 2024, the Zips and the Broncos have played 8 games. In those 8 games, our beloved Zips have exactly one win. Let's look at the facts : 2019 1-1 tie 2020 teams played twice 0-0 draw 4-3 Western Michigan win 2021 4-3 Western Michigan win in overtime 2022 teams played 3 times 1-0 Zips win in first regular season meeting 1-1 tie in 2nd regular season meeting 2-1 Western Michigan win in conference tournament 2024 1-1 tie Since the beginning of 2019, the zips have a 1-3-4 record against the Broncos. On paper, the Zips are playing well...and this is a home game. Games are not played on paper. Zips need to come out focused and step on the Bronco's neck. Go, Zips

The Big East did not have a good night on Monday September 8th. St. John's had looked very strong this year. In their last 2 games, St. John's had tied highly ranked Wake Forest and they had tied an outstanding Marshall team. Against, Marshall, St. John's led Marshall in shots, shots on goal and in corner kicks. Tonight, St. John's played host to Rhode Island. Rhode Island came into the game with an 0-3-1 record. In their last game , Rhode Island suffered a 3-0 beatdown to Albany, Tonight, Rhode Island defeated St. John's by a 2-1 score. Army was at home and they shut out Villanova . A 2-0 win for Army. 10th ranked Pitt scored 4 against Butler in a 4-1 win. Tuesday night is a big night for opponent strength of Schedule for the Zips. VCU plays at highly ranked Clemson 6 pm Vermont hosts Dartmouth 6 pm Louisville plays at Ohio State 7 pm last Friday, Louisville upset Stanford 1-0 (Stanford was ranked number 1 at the time of the loss) as much as zips fans dislike OSU, a Buckeye win over the Cardinals will help the zips in RPI James Madison will play at Georgetown 7 pm Northern Kentucky will play at Bellarmine 7 pm Bellarmine had a 3-1 win over Xavier earlier in the year.
