They moved up to 3rd overnight lmao

I wish someone would explain how KenPom calculates LUCK.

Giving me all the bad memories

They are. They showed the Seat Map, and the outback is back in its old spot by the student entrance

Ugh. Zips and Red Hawks now tie for the longest home win-streaks.

That's about right and I'd take Akron with the points. We're playing a team who lost to CMU a week or so ago. That same CMU team lost to EMU by 30. Kent is 5th in Luck per KenPom - time to end their luck. Go prove we're the class of the MAC. Go Zips!

Spread is zips -11.5. That’s seems way too high for a rivalry game

Class of 2026 commit...... very good size for a forward. 4.0 student https://www.instagram.com/p/DUB7JyzgUdU/?img_index=1 https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-soccer-recruiting/ohio/medina/highland-high-school40/grace-shondel1

For what it's worth they did trail by 29 in the 3Q, but cut in to 12 in the 4Q before settling at 18, not 20. 😉

I know, but you're going to get another crack at them.

Last time we lost a home game...695 days ago (March 5, 2024) Last time we lost to Kent home or away...1,056 days (March 10, 2023 - MAC Semifinals) Gotta keep these streaks going tomorrow!

I remember someone on here saying it but I don't recall that being said by the Athletic department. Not saying it wasn't, that's just my recollection.

I feel like I recall them saying they will pull the bleachers out for the Kent game whenever the change was first announced

I mean, you'd think so but I guess we'll see 😅

If they kept it open for the 16 people sipping on Bud Lights and didn't pull out the bleachers for the 800 tickets they could have sold, I think I'd return my diploma.

Do we know if they're opening the north baseline seats that have been replaced by the student pregame area all season? Would be nice to have all four sides filled.

No, I'm following along sadly.

At this point I’m certain I actually am just talking to myself but in case you missed it last night, yep, another 20 point loss in conference play… BG -80 Zips - 62

Had some prior connections, but going from WMU DC to the DC for the Chargers is quite a jump!

Been a while since we've looked at the conference NET as a whole. The Pretender Sweaters 51 Akron 52 BUGS 126 PCCC 139 Canada University at Buffalo 152 Toledo 162 UMass 187 EMU 207 Ohio 233 WMU 272 NIU 305 Balls 310 CMU 315 Conference Ranking per Warren Nolan: 15th

Zipped Up's preview and recap of the Akron/Kent State game and rivalry: https://akronzippedup.substack.com/?utm_campaign=pub&utm_medium=web

This just makes me want all Ohio MTE. There's 13 D1 teams in Ohio. I'm 99% sure Ohio State would chicken out, so you'd have a nice 12 team bracket. Dayton would probably be heavy favorites most years but the storylines would be extremely fun. Give us a great chance at big wins against Dayton, Cinci, and Xavier while also beating up the horizon. Put it in the Columbus area for fairness and I'd spend the weekend there for it.

That's a great idea

If you average their last MAC titles, you come up with 1974. Maybe they could call it the 1974 series.
