Class of '26 Verbal Commits and Offers/Discussion
infofan replied to Blue & Gold's topic in Akron Zips Football Recruiting
Just watched the Zips weekly coaches show. No mention of Semaj Beals. He just committed at the beginning of August. Is he gone already?? Thought his size and speed would be a good replacement for Tahj -
The Too-Cowardly-To-Admit-When-He's-Wrong award? You are correct.

I win.

Reading comprehension is a thing ... I was using the example given by GP1 where he said "Does anyone really believe someone making $200,000 in 1954 was only taking home $18,000"; I was demonstrating that his derisive comment demonstrates he has no idea what he's talking about. But to answer your question, I personally define "wealthy" as top-20% of the percentile income of an area/country. So if you're in the top-20% you are, indeed, wealthy. It's the most logical way for analysis; five categories of 20% of the distributions of income that can be compared to each other.

You should probably admit that you were demonstrated to be wrong on your point, instead of pontificating some boilerplate, generic nonsense. Have the integrity to admit when someone demonstrates something you said is wrong. It's the first level of intellectual integrity and courage. You also must be living under a rock if you think most people share in your opinion that this is "the greatest day in American history" and that Tomorrow will be better. Just about nobody believes that, because all we're doing is goosestepping backwards, erasing all the gains made over the past 70-years in just about everything. Goodness, you're the first one to complain about the current state of college athletics, and you're going to make that statement with a straight face? LoL

I mean this is part of the decay of American society. Blow off good, fact-based points because they're inconvenient for you and sssshhh people because you just want to watch Football. Do better. Also, nobody asked you to read the reply; but you could have called out GP1 for his commentary, or the other posters for theirs...instead you target mine for the derision. Curious about the hypocrisy... this is a post-thread about cuts at the University of Akron because of dire financial circumstances, this is exactly the type of conversation that should be taking place in this thread.

This is the biggest difference between Akron and a school like Wyoming. We have Ohio State less than 2 hours down the road, Cleveland State, Kent State, and Youngstown State all within an hour, and Toledo, Bowling Green, Miami OH, Cincinnati, and Ohio all in the state as public DI universities. This doesn't even include Dayton and Xavier as private but popular institutions in the state as well. The trade off is we have the pro sports - Browns, Cavs, and Guardians - 45 minutes north of Akron, so that's cool. However, all of this takes away from Akron, and it sucks to an extent. The War looks beautiful (and packed).

Any word on the Serb? -
The wife of a guy I work with graduated from UW in the mid 80s and was a cheerleader. She still looks good even though she's lived in the greater Phoenix area since then and has a ton of freckles on her cleavage like aging Arizona women get. In any event, she goes back every year for homecoming and still loves it.

Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming

Usually around 20,000 give or take a couple of thousand either way. When Wyoming hosted Texas and Nebraska a few years back they added 10,00 temporary seats to handle the Longhorn and Cornhusker faithful. War Memorial Stadium's capacity has been reduced to 25,000 something, down from 29,000 with the recent renovations. "The War", as we call it, had a peak of 32,000 seats 20 years ago or so, but the number has steadily been reduced with each renovation. Given that the State of Wyoming's population is listed at 576,851 according to the 2020 Census, I think they've right sized the War. UW is the only 4-year institution of higher education in the state so it's facilities are top notch because they don''t have to compete with another state sponsored university. The latest renovations to the "War"

Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming

Eastern Michigan beat Wyoming both times they've played. -
Listen up Zips Fans: I do NOT want to pull a Jimmy Johnson on this one. However, THIS is the Game, IMHO will decide de the Season. As a Joe Akron, is this accurate? As a MAC fan, will this set the pace? Your thoughts below......

It is so exciting to be talking about marginal rates 2 days before one of the most interesting and competitive football opening games. I'm pumped! Damn the fact that this is a sports forum. Bring on more economics. It is more relevant and exciting. Who cares if we have a legitimate chance to be bowl eligible, providing Goodrich can get the NCAA to rescind its ban. I bet Moorhead is glued to this conversation. I know I am.

Hopefully it’s good game. In my opinion, Akron easily has the best stadium in the MAC. Just wish there were more asses in the seats! What is Wyoming’s typical home attendance?

https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ The United Soccer Coaches have released their most current vote....and they say that the number 16 ranked Zips will host the number 10 ranked Moutaineers this FRiday night. Are the coaches correct? Will both of these 2 teams be receiving a top 16 bye when the NCAA tournament begins in November? -
First home game - Northern Kentucky
adzip replied to TennZip's topic in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer
Through the Zips first two games, they have scored 4 goals. All four have been scored by subs! Three of the 6 assists registered have been awarded to subs! Might Akron score more if the subs play more? Realize the sample size is small, even tiny, but it appears that one of Akron's assets this season is depth- as others on this board have mentioned. Might the team max that possible advantage by running the other team down, being ultra aggressive, and using waves of fresh legs? -
