WEAR WHITE !!!

Over/Under48.5 total points (DraftKings) Key Storylines• This is the first ever meeting between the two programs. • Akron has struggled historically in season‑openers against FBS opponents (13 straight losses), but they hold a 1‑0 record vs. Mountain‑West teams. • Wyoming hopes to rebound from a down year and prove they can compete despite a major transfer exodus after 2022.

Agreed. It’s hard to keep up with all of the hands in our pockets.

My Official prediction now that schedule is out. I think we go 27-4 in the regular season Purdue, Yale, Tulane, Miami are the 4 losses. we win the Mac tournament and get a 12 seed.

Just found out from the Ticket Office that Lot 9 will be open. The Fan Fest is happening in Lot 8.

Hello all: Just noticed on the game timeline that was just emailed that there is a Fan Fest before the game. Does anyone know if that means Lot 9 will be closed today? Thanks! Go Zips!

I have noticed that there are things promoting a "fan fest" starting at 4. I haven't seen really anything about what it is, but I hope that it is similar to what they used to do in the fieldhouse before the games back before covid, will be nice to be covered in case it rains

This article cited ESPN giving us a 50.5% chance to win 😂

The spread is down to 5.5

I think this will be a high scoring affair for an opener. Zips 41 / Cowboys 37

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone AT the game tomorrow.

ESPN+ God, I hate streaming.

Defensive Line is absolutely going to get tested hardcore: Starting Line: Dall - 11 games 339 snaps - 3 solo tackles 6 assisted 1 sack 1 pass deflection Hull - 5 games 2 tackles Laventure - 16 solo tackles 25 assisted 4.5 sacks D2 good numbers but listed at 6'1 270... very athletic hopefully can holdup with the big boys Durham 3 games @ Arizona 18 snaps played 0 stats Second String Frazier twins - 2 games combined 0 stats Mixon - 2024 did not play, 2023 Did not play Murphy - 8 games 5 tackles Madden - 4 games 1 tackle 3 assisted 1 sack K. Cheatom - 138 snaps - 6 solo tackles 3 assisted 1 sack They say the games are won in the trenches. I don't doubt these men can do it but be ready for some growing pains....

I wish I cared more about this game and the program in general. Some of that is how incredibly mismanaged this program has been, pretty much since Bowden left. Part of that is what college football has become, with the gap widening every year between the major and mid-major programs. Part of that is knowing that even if we do have a good season, we can't go to the MAC Championship or to a bowl games. I used to go to every home game, and now I may go to 1 or 2. And what really sucks is that I know I'm not alone. I love Zips athletics with all of my heart, but I'm more invested in soccer now and looking ahead to basketball. Kudos to those who still go to games and support the program, I hope the program doesn't take you for granted.

I got hired in the IT department at Akron and since then the men’s soccer team is 2-0. I bought season tickets for football soccer and basketball. Hope I can keep the streak live tomorrow 🙏. Gotta love week 1 optimism

His X page shows offers from Mr. Pinky, Miami, Indiana State, Ball State, Robert Morris and UI Indy.

A win would obviously be great but more importantly, they absolutely have to play well and look like an organized, disciplined football team. If this team comes out and has multiple turnovers, stupid penalties, metal errors, and bad decisions I will lose faith in Coach JoeMo. The portal has obviously hurt this team and to some extent, Joe can’t control the talent level on this team, but they can play smart, disciplined football and improve their odds of winning. A sloppy loss tomorrow will be a very bad indicator of where this team is headed.

Biggest Game of the year for the Zips...

Best guess is it was Monday at the latest. In the Monday episode there was a comment about this episode as if it had already been filmed.

I think Joe Akron doesn't know what to think because he doesn't really follow the team closely enough. If Joe Akron is treated to an exciting game with maybe a last second win for the Zips, he might come to another game. I don't think most MAC fans care about this game, but they should. How the league plays against like opponents is important.

Does anyone have any insight into what day this was filmed?

Biggest game in about eight years for Joe Akron. Don't blow it...Joe! 😁

6'4" G from Ben Davis HS in Indiana. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the bigger and better athletic high schools in the state, most recently winning a state title in 2023 for boys' basketball (won the football state title in the same year). No idea on his other offers.

Semaj Beals is still in high school. The Johnson kid from Syracuse will play the Tahj role this year I believe, at least at QB. Don’t know if he’ll be lined up at a skill position though lol
