Tuesday September 2 only 1 game tonight involving a Zip opponent Campbell went on the road and battled to a 1-1 tie at VCU Wednesday night, there are 2 huge games that could have big impact on opponent strength of schedule for the Zips Zips future opponent number 16 ranked St. Louis will play at number 4 ranked Indiana 13th ranked Gardner Webb will play at number 6 ranked West Virginia

Which exists. You're not getting much "competition" between Kent and Akron. More like oversaturation and limited resources. Academic research IS NOT like Business. There are limited research grants and $$$, and with Republican States and Republican-run Congress cutting funding for most crucial research, there isn't any competition to be had. NSF ain't going to be funding to grants on the same topic in the Mid-West at universities less than 20 miles away from each other.

Or, the more logical, they'll think we were obsessed with gladiators.

He’s got a look in his eye that he don’t mess around.

They lost if I recall, and the outcome was never in doubt. So getting the #3 seed wasn't worth more than wiping your own ass with it. And no, I won't STFU, it's this kind of lame-ass pettyfogging that has led universities like ours to making dumbass financial decisions to support absolutely worthless football programs, all so a bunch of suits can pad their resumes. It's same pissass financial analysis that leads so many businesses into ruin because people value the dream over a sound cost benefit analysis. Has being the #3 seed helped Boise State Financially? Nope. So why don't you sit down and STFU. What tangible benefit has football been to Boise State? Not. A. Godamend. eff'n. Thing. Oh, they have a #3 seeding and lose to Big-10 Penn State, while cutting programs and professors. Give me a eff'n break.

Ya, I'll pass on this idea. We need a lot of people doing a lot of research from different perspectives. We need competition to make people better.

The merchandise game sucks today. Like seriously, wtf happened? I remember when I was at UA 2008-2013, there were SO MANY OPTIONS when it came to gear and merchandise. Now it's all generic slop.

What they should do is make a unified state system(s) like California. Have one research branch, and one professional branch; but all one system; have the professional and research branches coexisting, but the the individual branches no overlapping in the same geographical areas. Kent and Akron both don't need nursing schools. Both don't need biology departments doing research ... etc.

In any country outside North America they don’t have college-associated sports. Talented kids play in professional leagues. Yeah, some would come here for a free education, but it made more financial sense to stay in Germany, Israel, Serbia, etc. Now that there’s serious money being doled out by colleges you will see an onslaught of foreign kids crossing the pond to play basketball.

Concord is scanning the net for Serbian basketball video as we speak.

Yes, he certainly locks down PSU-Shenango and Bucknell games.

My sources say that: 1) Akron is bad at football; and 2) Nobody in a position of authority at Akron gives a $h!+.

He was at the men's soccer game last night!

A few years ago, I brought up the Rubber Ducks, who play less than a mile away (a 20 minute walk) from campus. If you haven’t been to a minor league game, they keep fans entertained. Games, prizes, T shirt launchers, stuff for the kids (get ‘em interested early). There’s games and videos on the Jumbotron when there’s a lull. It’s often silly but in engages fans. There are simple ways to engage the fans that doesn’t cost a whole lot.

I correct myself. He's a Serbian national. And he looks like the complete package! https://share.google/images/o4D2FLB6mnqtJfiXT

Is he Serbian, or Bosnian? Big difference you know...historically! So don't go calling him "Serb" if he's from Bosnia-Herzegovina! 😉 Either way...🤩!!!

Zips have transferred in quality CBs recently. Matt Paiva makes in three good ones in a row.

Congratulations to Matthew Paiva. He has been a fantastic starter at center back.

Florida Hes making up BS out of thin air. Ain't happening. I have my own sources.

He's here.

Care to share a source for this? I haven't seen anything to indicate that level of interest in the Ohio university system by the state government.

So..whose spot is he taking?

Past the midway point of the first half, Zips employed a good old fashioned 4-4-2. This totally took Vikings by surprise. Remi and Farrell were the two Forwards and they immediately terrorized the CSU back line. Unfortunately, Farrell soon caught a silly yellow card, and staff removed him (and this formation). I want Zips to spring this 4-4-2 formation once again. It probably should never be our base system but it can be a real shock to the opposition. We should try it again.

Empty seats don’t absorb noise.
