Good game; good draw. I'd like to see Jack Sullivan get more minutes. I'd also like to see them try the combination of Nathan Ferguson and Remi Agunbiade on the field together. I don't recall seeing that forward combo yet this season. Remi was a beast last night.

If you want to eliminate all MAC sports that don't make a profit, there will be no Mac sports.

The MAC isn't exactly a well run organization. What if they tell Akron to leave and take their basketball program with them? The major problem with Nihilism is the is never a consideration for what comes next. Your second paragraph isn't in the world of reality. The answer for the MAC is not to abandon football. The answer is to find ways to make it financially viable for the members that will benefit the athletes students alumni fans and general communities around the schools. Start with no more weeknight games and start games at times that make them more family friendly considering games last 3.5+ hours now. Make it a college athletics experience and not a television show. The answer for Akron is to use our new AD to help influence a new direction for the member institution.

Yup. 100% of the MAC programs lose money on Football, and there's a bunch of perennial losers (CMU, Ball St., Kent St., EMU) that cannot make sense to continue this farce. Even the programs that have "success" how strained are they financially to continue this farce?

They may also find they have some allies in similarly situated programs in the conference.

Call the MAC's bluff. Soccer is already not in the MAC, and you think the MAC is going to turn away their premium Basketball program? But the teams are incharge of the MAC, so all the universities need to pull together and decide football is not a winning proposition for any of them anymore.

I just went back to watch the replay, holy crap this announcer..... One minute in, what a quote "WVU started off hot with a 3-5-2 formation where they defeated in morgantown against manhattan 5-2"

very well taken corner kick by Akron.....

I think it had potential to be a fairly decent G5 job 10-20 years ago for all the perks you mentioned above. Akron was getting the IPF, new stadium, talent rich area, rapidly growing campus, etc. The problem is the landscape of college sports has vastly changed over the past several years. At the same time enrollment has plummeted, causing financial strain to a University that took on too much debt falsely believing they were positioned to be the next Cincinnati.

PDF box score says attendance of 1,773 tough to compete with high school football on Friday night https://gozips.com/documents/2025/8/30/akr-wvu-msoc-box-8-29-25a.pdf

💯but for me substitute ‘entire system’ for league and ‘created by NIL and the NCAA’ for ‘weeknight games’ I can barely bring myself to watch any college football.

I think Akron has a chance to generate points in this one. Not sure Finley's passes get points for the Zips or Blazers, but there will be points scored with the Zips offense on the field.

Zips had chances early with a laser off the upper 90 crossbar and WVU saved a corner header off the line. Was a hard fought, well deserved tie. Onto the next.

Dilfer and Kitna. Seahawks early 2000s.

UAB won but gave up 42 to Alabama State. Very good chance that we head into this game looking for our first points on the season. Good to know that the UAB defense isn’t the 85 Bears.

Not a bad team to draw against. Felt like we were the better team slightly. I think Mitch would hold down the fort long for us to win in OT if it happened. Onto the next!

Huge win tonight for Georgetown Georgetown with a 1-0 home win over highly ranked Pitt Wisconsin gets a 1-0 over Western Michigan Michigan defeated Creighton 3-1 VCU gets a 2-1 road win at Old Dominion At home, Providence with a 2-0 win over Boston College

A problem I see with Akron is what happens when the coach you hire sees behind the curtain. From the outside looking in, Akron looks like a great opportunity. Great stadium, great training facility, location that allows them to recruit well...and then....

What would you like to do with the rest of the teams?

Zips played absolutely ferocious defense tonight. Great game plan, great effort from the players.... Ashton and Matthew Paiva......make a tremendous duo on that side of the field. Matt Dreas and Jack Sullivan/Tyler Morck....were excellent in ball winning at midfield.

this loss was bad, don't recall many shutouts....for me that will always be iCoach going for 2 and losing to a IAA team in OT.

Pretty even played match. Ashton was very good.

Keep creating good chances, just need to work on the finishing

the announcer is just horrible...... several times, he called Tyler Morck.....Tyler Bush That being said, outstanding defensive game plan by the Zips.... outstanding swarming defense.
