If Finley was still nursing an injury from the Duke game, why weren't the back ups better prepared? Toledo might have the best D in the MAC. A single dimension O was going to go no where. Our offensive genius could have come up with a back up plan to use Roggow and Johnson. Even at the same time. 👹

Mani Austmann(from Iceland) was with the zips in 2019 I believe that he is playing for Fylkir Reyjavik in an Iceland pro League. from the little that I can find, he joined Fylkir in June and averaged 1.1 shots per game. if my memory is correct (always questionable), I remember Mani as being a tall (maybe 6’5) skilled forward. - edit….just went to 2019 roster ….lists Mani as 6’0 midfielder…ah well….

Robby Dambrot with Loudoun United FC EDIT: Whoops, you had it

@Zip_ME87 thanks for all of your hard work and great memory in putting together the list. Hopefully, Jonathan Lewis (age 28) will get picked up soon by someone. He was injured for most of 2025 and Barnsley (English football league one) released him after this year.

Private equity is looking to spend $2 billion to buy a 5% share of future Big 10 distributions. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46452188/sources-big-ten-discussing-2-billion-private-capital-deal

Added Teal Bunbury, MLS, Nashville to my list of Zips in the pros. Can’t believe I overlooked our 1st Hermann Trophy winner.

Okay, thank you. I did see him go into the blue tent after his last play against Duquesne but I didn't think it looked that serious that he'd miss the next game. But I'm no doctor!

Postgame article from the ABJ claims it was from the 'lower body injury' suffered against Duquesne.

Did we ever find out for sure if Finley was injured or if there was some other reason he didn't play last week?

I don't know how to share it here because it was an IG story not a post, but I saw Enrique has the #25 jersey for the T-Wolves!

Akron back into the coaches top 25 poll at #19 this week. Next week's opponent Cornell is essentially #27 as they're 2nd in the receiving votes section. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Dropping divisions doesn't automatically make you more competitive since talent level drops accordingly.

I think the MAC payout is around $2 million per year and that includes the payout from the NCAA tournament credits. Financially this should work out for them finely.

Unsure, but likely negated with lower travel in the Horizon League.

This makes sense if football is all you care about.

What are the added costs?

Maybe not a financial disaster at all.

The football program has been futile for the better part of two decades now. It was probably a matter of adapting to a positive mindset or moving on. The job really doesn't seem fit for someone who gets moody because their team didn't perform well.

The Finnish product?! Wow.

I get that. I was referencing Joe's consistently good attitude and ability to forge forward regardless of the situation. Joe's the best.

Extra credit to Zip_ME87 for the umlauts in Emil Jääskeläinen. That's the Finnish Product! 😄

All the questions are approved by the coaching staff prior to taping. Joe just asks them.

I would just like to see some fire out of him in these videos. Show that you are angry, embarrassed, anything besides credit to the other coach and his staff bla bla bla
