Akron and Seton Hall are both in the receiving votes section of this week's coaches poll... Akron at #27, Seton Hall at #29. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

The question really isn't whether or not they can compete, because we're long past the Zips trying to do that - the question is...is the cost savings of dropping to FCS worth the loss in revenues from TV and such, since the beatings are going to happen either way?

They don't really have any natural rivals of any sort, and they're going to likely get more money (and less travel in the Horizon League) with overall increased attendance (likely no real change in other sports, and no Tuesday games for football). It just wasn't a dumb decision by any stretch of the imagination.

They can have, though, fun playing at Hawaii's new stadium at 2am in football and battling with Doug Gottlieb for last place in Horizon League basketball. What a dumb decision. Good riddance.

We're special. Can't do it here.

I'm sure they'll have fun

Gotta admit I'm rooting for the Mariners but it was nice to see Bassitt have a good outing tonight.

James Madison comes into the 2025-26 season after posting a 20-12 record last season with a loss in the Sun Belt Final to Troy. From looking at their roster, they have a ton of new faces. Included in these transfers are the following: · Paul Jones, a 6’4” sophomore guard who averaged 7.6 ppg and 3 rpg last year at Winthrop where he was named to the Big South Conference. · Bradley Douglas, a 6’4” senior guard transfer from Geogia Southern where he averaged 12.6 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 2.2 apg. He’s on his 5th school in 5 years. · Cliff Davis- 6’2” senior guard transfer from Rio Grande where he averaged 12.1 ppg and 4.5 rpg. · Paul Lewis, a 6’2” guard who started at Vanderbilt then transferred to UTSA where he missed nearly all of last season due to injury. · Justin McBride, a 6’7 junior forward transfer from Nevada (Previously Okla. St.) where he averaged 7.8 ppg and 4/1 rpg. · Ike Cornish, a 6’6” senior guard transfer from Nicholls who averaged 7.7. ppg and 2.2 rpg. He started in Maryland and spent a season at Ohio U. · Eli Wilborn, a 6’8” junior forward who was a teammate of Barre at Duquesne where he averaged 5 ppg and 3.5 rpg last year. · Gabe Newhof, a 6’9” senior forward who was an NAIA All-American at Spring Arbor last season, averaging 21.5 ppg and 7.2 rpg. From looking at the roster JMU appears deep and experienced and will again be towards the top of the Sun Belt standings. They’ll also likely still be in transition mode with so many new faces. I'll keep updating as more info and previews become available.

$20 a ticket GA. Hmmm.

Akron has added an exhibition game at Youngstown State on October 29. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AqJdnhuDp/

I loved the script Akron!

Kenpom.com I personally wouldn't place too much stock in preseason ratings. Especially since we see so much roster turnover these days.

Script Akron was still better than the times new roman A they threw together now. At least it was identifiable who it was.

Two weeks ago Balls beat OU 20-14 and then last week lost to WMU 42-0 🧐🤨

In the RPI (as of 10/13 at 9 AM), Akron is #18 and Seton Hall is #20. https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank?m=1

Stop making fun of my script "Akron"!!!

Neither Akron or this week's opponent, Seton Hall, are ranked in the Top Drawer Soccer poll. Akron is ranked at #23 in this week's College Soccer News poll, while Seton Hall is receiving votes. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-week-8-top-25-coaches-poll-stanford-becomes-5th-team-to-take-1-princeton-joins-top-10/

I thought “Design a lame new logo” would solve all the football problems…boy was I wrong.

Nobody called you an idiot or even implied it. It's a forum - an exchange of ideas and opinions. If there was an easy answer to all of this it would have been found by now.

Do you have a link? Would be nice to see our opponents, e.g., Charleston.

Bump

And if a booster does step up to fire Moorhead, they need to be ready to step up in other ways. That is, supporting our program to have a respectable operating budget compared to our peers and NIL, or it’s all wasted money because nothing will change.

I'm 56. In my life, the following schools were doormats. Kansas State, Baylor, Wake Forest, Iowa State TCU, Vanderbilt. Somehow they are respectable now. It wasn't that hard either. They just made good, basic decisions.
