5-7 is a year I'll take, but he will need to follow it up with 6+ win season next year before I would even consider an extension. We wouldn't be in a position to buy out 4-5 years of his contract if he regressed nor could we keep a coach around for 10 years that has never made it to a bowl game. It would place the University into a tougher bind than it is already.

Even 5-7 would be our best season since 2017 and it’s objectively still taking the program upward even with all of our all conference players transferring/graduating from last year.

nice win, fellas

As I recall, our Zips missed the MAC Tournament in 2022, but earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

it's going to be the season that should have been: as of today: miami 4-0 should have won buffalo 3-1 won central michigan 3-1 won ball state 2-2 should have won toledo 2-2 dominated us Zips SHOULD be 4-1 right now and at the top of the MAC. Oh the woulda shoulda coulda If Joe Moe can win the last three despite the shouldas i'd say it was still a good season. 6-6 is probably more than what most on here would have realistically thought they would have achieved although they could have gone much higher. id consider 6-6 a win and wouldn't chase Joe out

Akron RPI rank remains at 14 Vermont moved up to 2 (thanks Catamounts) via 2-1 win at Bryant Our remaining opponents' RPI: Marquette 101 Creighton 44

Kobe Mitchell plays for Walsh. He was the leading scorer last year.

This forum? Never /s

One would think, right? sternly written email to follow?

That's the issue with having an odd number of teams in conference. It won't be an issue next year when NIU is no longer in the conference.

Interesting changes. I would think they'd push back the south bleachers as that would put that area closer to the student section. They have done a very good job of getting the students involved the last 2 or 3 years.

making it a student club

Any idea why they’re pushing back the bleachers on one side or at all?

I wouldn't say they are the best seats. they are moving the band to the other end by the visitor's bench. Also, they are pushing back the upper bleachers at the North End (?) except for Kent game. if they re-configure the courtside club, I think it would be a good spot to watch the game

Didn't catch the game. When I saw the score I checked stats and replays. Overall the Defense is still surprisingly solid. It has actually improved during the season. Probably the biggest reason the team at least has a chance to finishing. 500 in the MAC. Offensively Gant is the go to. The comments on Finley have been accurate all season. When he doesn't hold the ball too long and steps into the pocket he can be effective. Isn't just throwing to get rid of it.Makes the O line look better. I said 4-4 in the MAC is ok. Least they have a chance now.

We just need to remember we can’t overreact to a preseason game lol

Ban them both. It’ll end up boosting the conference NET😂

The courtside club is nothing new.

What a great atmosphere to be among the Zips fans at Xavier supporting our team on the road. Significant contingents of Matt Dreas', Ashton Kamdem's, and Jack Roman's family and friends and Zips Men's Soccer alumni players and/or family.

I have and it's great. However I think that is misleading and the club is "courtside" but the tickets aren't

If they get to 6 wins, they can apply for a waiver to get a bowl game. No guarantees they get it though if their APR can show improvement this season, they might get it granted.

Well considering we’re ineligible at this time due to APR and I believe APR is the main consideration for any 5-7 teams in that scenario, I think our chances would be zero.

Can Akron make a bowl if there isnt enough six win teams? Similar to what JMU had to do during its transition to FBS postseason ban

We really got boned with scheduling this year in terms of our bye week. Its really the last week of the season. Who tf needs a bye week the last week of the season. We have a quasi bye week this week I guess with a few extra days off, but so does the rest of the conference (who also gets to play their last game the last week of November due to having a real bye mid-season).

I heard mention of a voluntary redshirt due to reaggravating an injury. Can’t remember where, maybe radio? Anyways, hope he uses his last year somewhere else next year.
