In my wish world, they lose on Thursday.

I just want to avoid UMass in the first round so they can either move into 6th or fall down to 8th. Either is fine with me.

Looking at the current likely MAC seedings, its not likely we'll finish in front of Miami or behind KSU so the seven seed is our likely opponent. Going to root to UMass to take over the six seed to take on KSU in round 1 to beat on each other, which would probably give us BGSU in round 1, whom we don't even rent, we own.

The right answer is Miami takes a lead with 5 seconds left but intentionally fouls Evan and we win by 1

In the postgame groce didn’t really know anything about Freitag and him being out for so long. He said “we will prepare as if he will play”

I think it would be helping individual players improve their technical ability. According to Google AI, this is the description... An individual development coach in soccer is a specialized staff member dedicated to creating and executing customized improvement plans for players at various levels, from youth academies to professional first teams. They bridge the gap between team-wide tactical goals and a player's personal needs, focusing on technical skills, decision-making, and psychological growth. By analyzing data, video, and performance, they provide targeted mentorship to ensure players thrive within the team's broader system.

30 in my wish world, but fair enough.

In my wish world Akron steam rolls them by 20

In my wish world, Akron takes on unbeaten Miami in the MAC final and beats them on a banked three pointer with no time left on the clock.

Buffalo doesn't play until 6 pm tonight, which gives us a full 24 hours of extra rest. Plus we're at home, so a couple extra advantages over a team we should already handle fairly easily. Especially if Freitag remains out.

I know this was a joke, but considering he's only in year 3 of a 5 year deal I imagine his job is secure. I can't imagine Akron athletics would be eager to pay a buyout for a sport that it frankly doesn't invest heavily in to start with.

Down 45-28 at half after being tied at 19 at the end of the first quarter. Ugh.

Good game by the Zips. Probably didn't start out exactly how they wanted, but road games are unpredictable.

Who is more interesting in the league this year to discuss in the "MAC 2025-26 SZN" thread?

It also doesn't mean anything because he hasn't accepted lol

Akron Zips Men's Soccer.

There’s very few teams you can go to a home game and expect a win every time. Only other example I can think of is Ohio state football

We are 36-2 in our last 38 MAC games, something that we will probably never see again. I trust the coaches know what they are doing and can’t wait to go see another win in the JAR Tuesday!

Even if we’re supposed to hate them it’s still a very interesting storyline and potential conundrum if we beat them

Does anyone know if Freitag is coming back this season. Maybe for a 1-8 match up with Miami?

Did I say the win sucked? I'm sure they will have practice, but so what? Is Groce wrong for saying they played terribly in the first half, and they have a lot to work on? To be clear, I was not criticizing the players for the slow down at the end. It was very clear that it was a deliberate choice to slow down and hold the ball. I disagree with that choice. I also believe that Groce and his staff know way more about the game of basketball than I do. I just made a comment on a message board. Trust me, I understand that I am fortunate to be a fan a very high-quality Mid-major basketball team. That doesn't mean that I don't want to see them perform to their best throughout a game.

Yeah, that 13 point road win sucked. I'm sure they will have a practice between now and Tuesday.

Oh my god do I have to actually admit that Miami is good for them to lose? Fine they are good, they are great, they are well balanced. did that jinx them yet

You all discuss Miami more than Akron.

It's not a ton of money. It's barely above a humiliation level sum of money for each school.
