Groundhog Day 2.0 !! Frost's debut at Central Florida has been canceled. I wonder if the Knights will stiff Jacksonville like they did the Zips. This will open fresh wounds for next week's match up in Lincoln.

Yeah I cancelled ESPN+ after basketball season ended and really don't want to resubscribe. I'll wait to see how the season starts before committing to another streaming service.

Free shirts for both students and non students at the fan fest. Students get white, non students get navy ones

Can't disagree with this. MAC schedule is extremely favorable. Only playing Ohio, Miami, Umass, Toledo once each is rare. Really can't see any team Zips play twice as troublesome. Even allowing for the annual MAC hiccup, somewhere, still just don't see many high hurdles at all.

It's Zips Gameday, GO ZIPS

This game has been a hot topic at work today, and maybe for the first time ever, everyone else is more optimistic on akron than me for this game. I still think we go 6-6 this season, but I'm gonna need to see at least a little bit of this team before picking them to win their first FBS game

If this happens again, I will conclude: a) Our coaches are slow learners; b) Our coaches recruit slow learners; or c) All of the above.

Can't wait!! Go Zips.

Of all the things to bitch about with streaming, Akron being on ESPN+ is the most unworthy. ESPN+ houses most Akron football, men's soccer, and men's & women's basketball games. $12 per month gets you all that plus more. If you have kids or grandkids, the Disney+ bundle is one of the best deals in streaming. Now, in 2-3 years, I fully expect these services to be $80+ per month like YouTubeTV and other top streaming services have become, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. We have a party of 5 going to the game tonight. It'll be both my daughters' first night game at the Info, and my first night game in quite some time. Hopefully once the rain ends, it's done for the night, because this has the chance to be a very fun season opener for the Zips. This game will be won in the trenches. Does our OLine give Finley time to get the ball in the hands of our plethora of playmakers and open holes for our stable of RBs? Does our DLine get pressure on Wyoming's QB? Do we see a continuation of pre-snap penalties on both sides of the ball that have hindered this program under JoeMo? Looking forward to this one. Go Zips!

WEAR WHITE !!!

Over/Under48.5 total points (DraftKings) Key Storylines• This is the first ever meeting between the two programs. • Akron has struggled historically in season‑openers against FBS opponents (13 straight losses), but they hold a 1‑0 record vs. Mountain‑West teams. • Wyoming hopes to rebound from a down year and prove they can compete despite a major transfer exodus after 2022.

Agreed. It’s hard to keep up with all of the hands in our pockets.

My Official prediction now that schedule is out. I think we go 27-4 in the regular season Purdue, Yale, Tulane, Miami are the 4 losses. we win the Mac tournament and get a 12 seed.

Just found out from the Ticket Office that Lot 9 will be open. The Fan Fest is happening in Lot 8.

Hello all: Just noticed on the game timeline that was just emailed that there is a Fan Fest before the game. Does anyone know if that means Lot 9 will be closed today? Thanks! Go Zips!

I have noticed that there are things promoting a "fan fest" starting at 4. I haven't seen really anything about what it is, but I hope that it is similar to what they used to do in the fieldhouse before the games back before covid, will be nice to be covered in case it rains

This article cited ESPN giving us a 50.5% chance to win 😂

The spread is down to 5.5

I think this will be a high scoring affair for an opener. Zips 41 / Cowboys 37

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone AT the game tomorrow.

ESPN+ God, I hate streaming.

Defensive Line is absolutely going to get tested hardcore: Starting Line: Dall - 11 games 339 snaps - 3 solo tackles 6 assisted 1 sack 1 pass deflection Hull - 5 games 2 tackles Laventure - 16 solo tackles 25 assisted 4.5 sacks D2 good numbers but listed at 6'1 270... very athletic hopefully can holdup with the big boys Durham 3 games @ Arizona 18 snaps played 0 stats Second String Frazier twins - 2 games combined 0 stats Mixon - 2024 did not play, 2023 Did not play Murphy - 8 games 5 tackles Madden - 4 games 1 tackle 3 assisted 1 sack K. Cheatom - 138 snaps - 6 solo tackles 3 assisted 1 sack They say the games are won in the trenches. I don't doubt these men can do it but be ready for some growing pains....

I wish I cared more about this game and the program in general. Some of that is how incredibly mismanaged this program has been, pretty much since Bowden left. Part of that is what college football has become, with the gap widening every year between the major and mid-major programs. Part of that is knowing that even if we do have a good season, we can't go to the MAC Championship or to a bowl games. I used to go to every home game, and now I may go to 1 or 2. And what really sucks is that I know I'm not alone. I love Zips athletics with all of my heart, but I'm more invested in soccer now and looking ahead to basketball. Kudos to those who still go to games and support the program, I hope the program doesn't take you for granted.

I got hired in the IT department at Akron and since then the men’s soccer team is 2-0. I bought season tickets for football soccer and basketball. Hope I can keep the streak live tomorrow 🙏. Gotta love week 1 optimism
