Pretty unbelievable that the lowest seed in the pod was able to get three home matches.

On the app search menu type in Akron. Or go to the soccer and it is listed. I am streaming it now.

How does one watch via the ESPN app? I am not finding the game or the men's soccer team when searching.

That joke was awful! Funny, but awful!

Had.

Don't worry, they won't be able to hold a candle up to it now. 😉

WMU just fumbled on when nearing a score and Miami picked it up and ran it almost all the way back for a touchdown. Upon further review, the quarterback's knee was down. WMU got the ball back and instead of being down 13-7, they are now up 10-6.

I just saw Toledo has the top recruiting class in the MAC (again)

I was at the UConn, Notre Dame and Duke games but I can't make today. Somebody take my place! 😊

I’m sensing a goal by Stefan in the first 15 minutes

sorry guys. you might be stuck with him ....

2,200!! Go Zips

LFG!

I’m gonna guess under 2000 unfortunately

I generally agree. They had enough talent to win six.

2k is my guess with a solid boost from the SLU faithful.

Ah no you don't read around here enough. This program is forever screwed. Don't look at any of the evidence of programs changing their fortunes, that is impossible here. Also Akron definitely should have been one of the bowl waivered teams. Way too much talent to be 5-7 with this schedule.

Hope isn't a strategy. I'm of the opinion we aren't far from getting 6 wins every season. The 2025 season wasn't the disaster some believe it was. Over half the MAC schools had losing records. Akron literally finished in the middle of the conference and had a .500 record in conference. The Kent loss still sticks in my craw because I believe Akron is a better program and had better players. That's the difference between going to a bowl or not. It would have also given Akron four wins for the home fans, which is badly needed. Akron also won two games on the road which seemed out of reach not long ago. On the surface, Akron should have beaten Kent and Wyoming. Dig a little deeper and it's understandable why a coach finds winning at Akron so difficult. Akron isn't far away. Just a couple more financial pieces.

Nervous for today, nonetheless, see everyone at the game.

I looked up our previous elite 8 home matches to see what the attendance was at each. I didn't write them down but they were roughly 4,200 (2009), 3,400 (2010), and 3,000 (2015). What do we think the attendance will be today? For reference, last weekend was 1,344.

Sorry, it's hopeless here. We just have to hope that we get six wins in a single season once a decade maybe. Not a chance for Akron to ever have success. None. There's too many excuses err reasons.

I agree. In addition, Duke, Tulane and NTSU were all in championship games this weekend. Kansas is good, Vandy is good. Wake Forest is good. I could go on. It is possible for a school like Akron to get good. Akron being bad has been by decision and on purpose as far as I can tell. I just saw Hunter Y on GameDay and threw up a little in my mouth that he wasn't named after Mack. Instead, we picked Wistrcill and got I Coach. He chose ICoach on purpose in spite of him being completely unqualified for the job. Think our failure isn't on purpose? On a side note, I saw Kennesaw State play Wake Forest this year. I was very impressed with how physically they played. It was a good reminder that physicality still matters in football.

I casually check out TWolves forums and someone mentioned that Minnesota may have brought him in for a few days to evaluate him in practice to see his progress and to give him some areas to work on back in Iowa. They have been remarkably healthy so far this season, which has limited opportunities for he and the other two-ways.

Absurd start to the season for Tavari.
