The best Zips gear selection I ever saw was at the Salvation Army store on Brittain Rd last year, they had tons of brand new stuff donated from the bookstore. Not sure if they are gonna have more this year though

Akron Felt is no more, the old owner didn't pay taxes for multiple years. One of the former employees started his own business doing the same thing. https://www.simos.cc/ He has totally rebuilt the business but is doing a great job, we use him to do all the repairs on the RubberDucks uniforms, highly recommend

Troy lost in 3OT to USC on a buzzer beater 3.

@Z.I.P. 11:30am today for you if I'm not mistaken. You're welcome, you lucky, Hawaii-living son of a nutcracker. 😂

The recent post about getting a Shammah jersey made me think to start this thread - where do you get your best Zips gear? I've had the most luck with Rally House in Fairlawn. Is Akron Felt & Chenille still making Zips stuff?

I admittedly haven't followed the program as closely as the men's team, but it doesn't seem like the program is moving in the right direction. I watched the last few minutes last night and they looked bad.

I've seen some posts online that the tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ... but that is Atlantic Standard Time. Tipoff for us is 5:30 EST. Don't complicate things for me, please. 😂

Win the paradise Jam first then worry about March

The only proven formula to make the tournament - WIN THE MAC.

The Akron- Binghamton team made Sportscenter.

I was expecting Finley to hit the ground running this season but alas, we got a carbon copy of the 2024 Finley. Took him until MAC play to really start looking comfortable. I was truly disappointed at how uncomfortable he looked in our opener vs. Wyoming. Did Murphy's light finally come on?! He's such a physical specimen that I thought he'd be dominant last year, let alone this year. Bodes well for next season. Did we ever get word on Catrell White's injury. He looked electric in the 1st Q vs. Wyoming but went down with an injury & never played another snap this season, did he?

On a more positive note. A member of the womens volleyball ball team was chosen to putt in the Wentz Financial Group hole-in-ine contest. I think she is the first person to win the jackpot.

E ESPN+

QB: It wasn’t Finley’s best outing by any stretch, but he made enough plays to keep the offense in position to score. In an unusual twist, he ran for 58 yards and was far more willing to pull it and go than we’ve seen from him in the past. I’m guessing a part of that was knowing it was his last college game and deciding to leave it all on the field. I know I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating — Finley never made the jump I hoped he would this year, but we don’t get to five wins without him. RB: Gant is incredibly good at making people miss. He may not have the breakaway speed some other backs have, but his cuts, vision, and angles are almost as good as anyone I’ve seen. And congrats to him for going over 1,000 yards on the season — well deserved. WR: Drops were an issue at times, but the receiving corps still came through with some big plays. It’s a shame the season is over because Marcel Williams is playing as well as anyone in the MAC right now. He’s absolutely deserving of a First Team selection with the way he closed out the year. Polk and Mason should be in the mix for Second or Third Team All-MAC as well. TE: Newell returned but didn’t look like himself, and Cravaack didn’t have his best game either. OL: I thought the OL got better as the game went on. Ironman K. Davis finally missed some time, and Morris showed his versatility by sliding over from left tackle to fill in at right guard. Lyons logged every snap again at center and played well to close out the season. DL: This group got after it, and the starters played an insanely high number of snaps this year. Congrats to Dall on sealing the game, and I hope it’s not the last time we see him in a Zips uniform. Murphy probably played his best game to date — I noticed him blast the center into the backfield multiple times. Ideally, that’s a jumping-off point for him heading into 2026. Laventure and Hull were really good, as usual. LB: Summers played well, and Spriggs flashed his athleticism and physicality multiple times. It wasn’t an overwhelmingly great night for the linebackers, but they were solid and made the plays needed to slow down BG’s run game. DB: Reed and DeWalt played every snap at corner. I believe both Anderson and Hunter went down during the game, which left Somerville, Flowers, and Di. Johnson to handle most of the snaps at safety. I was impressed with how they came downhill and helped in the run game. The Branches — if that’s the right way to refer to them — split snaps at nickelback. ST: I was disappointed Hills never broke one for a touchdown this season. He had multiple chances throughout the year and just couldn’t shake free for that final bit. Schramm was excellent on field goals, Castle did well punting, and Wiley once again placed his kickoffs where they needed to be. Coaching: I thought the staff put together a strong gameplan and did a great job keeping the team focused and ready to play despite there not really being anything on the table anymore. Could things have gone better? Sure, but I’m not going to dwell on the negatives after wrapping up the season with a win. Now we head into an offseason full of uncertainty and a long wait until the 2026 kickoff. We’ll see what happens. QB: Finley RB: Gant Patrick WR: Ma.

How are you watching? Via what service?

If poor lighting bothers you, avoid the Kentucky/Saint Louis match. Billikens equalize as I am writing. 3:00 minutes left. SLU 1-1 KEN (10 men)

Another O Lineman goes in

This was probably the most entertaining match of the evening. And I watched at least a little bit of every match.

Starting to sound like we should have kept Ms. Jackson. Year three and the program is as bad as it’s ever been.

Michigan also hit the woodwork twice. I ain't scared of Notre Dame.

I've wondered this as well. I feel like he was pretty visible around the program for a few years and not so much anymore.

this was the final goal.......for WVA

Fill the Hill

President Nemer did a promotional instagram post for the mens soccer game on Sunday https://www.instagram.com/p/DRSpiDwkqdo/

that was a beautiful game winning goal by Marcus Caldera. Hat trick for Caldera tonight.
