He appears to have not appeared in any games during his two years at WKU. Do we expect much contribution from him?

Anyone who was able to attend have any thoughts?

I checked in to see how our three most recent Zips have been doing. After starting just one of the first four matches for Crown Legacy, Ashton has started the last four matches in a row. Austin FC 2 have only played 6 matches so far and Stefan has appeared in all 6 matches including 4 starts. One assist. Mitch Budler has not appeared yet for Pittsburgh but has been on the bench for 7 of the past 8 matches.

Zips Baseball sweeps OU in Athens to improve to 20-24 and 10-14 in the MAC. Both are the highest winning percentages since the program returned. Baby steps in the right direction? The downside is they have 9 conference games left against three very good programs (Kent, CMU, and Miami).

Oh my, photos of the scrimmage for opponents to scour for intel!

Not sure if this is known already or not.

per Gemini.. The official nickname for the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) women’s sports teams is the Minutewomen. While the men's teams are known as the Minutemen, the university uses the gender-specific version for its women's programs. Both share Sam the Minuteman as the official mascot and wear the school colors of maroon and white. A Brief History The transition to these names didn't happen until the early 1970s. Here is a quick look at the evolution of the UMass identity: Aggies & Statesmen: In the early 20th century, the school (then Massachusetts Agricultural College) was often referred to by these names. Redmen: From 1948 until 1972, the teams were known as the Redmen. Minutemen/Minutewomen: In 1972, following concerns regarding the previous name's impact on Native American communities, the student body voted to change the nickname. The "Minutemen" was chosen for its deep historical ties to the American Revolution and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As women's sports programs grew on campus during that same decade, they naturally adopted the title "Minutewomen."

Many people described @Hilltopper as an “urgent and bursty” pass rusher back in the day?

Cj Nunnally signing with Falcons....

Falcons got Two Zips...

Malcom signed with the Falcons...

What I've read online is schools only receive ~2%-~10% of the purchase price. If the goal is to support the program it's probably just best giving them a $10, $20, or whatever donation via day of giving link. It only makes sense to purchase from BSN store if you see items that you really want.

Dewalt signed undraftee with Atlanta....

Wasn’t there, but there’s a number of plays posted on the zipsathletics instagram page. Gant seems to look good still. Looks like 3/4 QBs made some plays worth sharing,

Any reports from today’s last scrimmage

Women's soccer is doing a pop-up team store through BSN Sports. Great way to support the program and great way for fans to get some nice Nike gear. Plus, it's great for men's soccer fans too as it all says "Akron Soccer" and not gender specific. https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/GOZIPS26

MAC Tournament is at Robert Morris even though they didn't qualify. (They're in the MAC for Lacrosse.) EDIT: They actually did end up sneaking in as the 4 seed. Akron knocked CMU out with the win.

UMass finishes the MAC regular season 7-0 to win the regular season title. Akron is currently beating CMU and looks like we'll finish 6-1 to get the #2 seed. The tournament is only the top 4 seeds. so a rematch might be in the cards very soon.

Softball won two more yesterday and are now 19-4 in the MAC with 4 conference games left. 2nd and 3rd place both have 14 wins but have more games remaining so I don't think we've quite clinched the regular season title but are getting very close.

Right now, I've seen two of the current Zips who combined played 20 minutes a game last year. I've never seen Dustin Ford be a head coach. There are still roster spots to be filled. As such, I'm not quite ready to make predictions.

I don't even think 8-10 games will be a good measuring stick. Buffalo was a different team in MAC play, even with Freitag, than what they looked like early. Ohio was a disaster early, then became MAC-average. Toledo was also under-whelming, but improved down the stretch. UMass didn't wake up until the MAC Tournament.
