They'd find a way to lose money.

The Virginia stadium is sitting empty today whereas both stadiums could be relatively full. Ticket revenue lost. You're not thinking like a patriotic capitalist.

No, that's a good thing. They will have to pay us.

Thanks for providing these charts Catdaddy. I find them very interesting. Like you said they are as objective as you can get in this day and age. It I'll be fun to compare them as the season goes on. While I feel we had a dismal start, there are many more games ahead of us and many more chances to develop this team. As I look at it we will be as good as Finley goes. So far we are lousy.

The NC State vs Virginia game is really good. Two ACC school playing a non conference game. I love the idea. Are the athletes students alumni fans and general community getting more out of this game or NCSU vs Joe Blow G5 school?

Unfortunately the weather forecast for Lincoln tonight is clear 😉

Go ZIPS!!!

thanks i wasn't sure where it was from. it's very easy to read. i like it. this was the first time i looked at PFF. i was confused at first because i did not know about the snap minimum count. i like being able to see what a completely independent rating system scores them as.

I created the depth chart myself by using PFF and what I saw during the game. Although, I only listed a player in one position. For example, even though M. Johnson played multiple positions on offense, I only listed him once. PFF isn’t always correct in their ratings or positions played, but it’s the best resource I know of, especially when I’ve made the decision to not go back and rewatch the game. Patrick ended up being the highest rated player on offense with Summers the highest rated on defense. PFF will go back in and revise their ratings later in the week.

where did u get that depth chart from? i'd like to visit that site. PFF had mcmanus the highest rated player for the team. PFF had the defensive line at: Dall 69.4 Hull 57.8 Laventure 65.3 Durham 54.5 mixon 67.1 murphy 62.2 Cheatom 80.2 d frazier 59.4 j frazier 38.6 duncan 49.9

They were too busy trying to run cover for their precious P4 Suckeyes. As the game wore on, the realization that Akron is a more dominant soccer program than Ohio State really became evident in their tone and commentary. It was Louvre worthy.

The Ohio State announcers did not do a very good job of announcing when subs were made. Tyler Morck and Thomas O' Rourke both played over 50 minutes in the game. I hope that Matthew Paiva's health is OK. He has been fantastic this year. Paiva came out of the game at the midpoint of the first half and only played 36 minutes in the game.

Creighton 2 Denver 0.

Free admission! Did they announce attendance? What is your guess at the number at Owens Stadium?

Pretend? It has been, is now, and will forever be a ZERO! 😃 (Love this by the way! Well-played!)

This team may just end up being special.

Best Jose Pedro match as a Zip so far.

Tonight was a fun night for Akron soccer. The OSU Buckeyes were a good opponent, but not a great one. We were the better team. Nonetheless I hope we continue playing them and build a rivalry. What struck me about the Zips was that, despite not playing our best, we got better tonight. We found we have good depth and the staff came closer to finding who are the players who need to be on the field in crunch time. Remember this season saw 8 players needed to be replaced. The coaches deserve credit for finding the players, building chemistry and continuing the Akron style of play. That is what brings players to Akron despite offers of NIL money that has been in the $30,000 range. This is a team to enjoy.

I give tremendous credit to Coach Embick and Chad Welker.....for doing this video clip for the zips fans. This was a huge road win for the Zips....and I know that myself and other zips fans wanted to hear Coach Embick's comments on the game. Thank you again for taking the time to do this video. Congratulations on a great win and thank you for the thoughtfulness to take the time to shoot and post this video. Great job, Zips

nailed it other than the offside goal by Wexner U.

well played!

Valiant effort. Incredible atmosphere. Decisive W. What a night!!
