Richmond Laryea is a good man. https://www.mlssoccer.com/competitions/fifa-world-cup/news/richie-laryea-for-my-family-for-canada

Former Zip Jonathan Lewis tore his ACL two weekends ago and is out for the season. Best wishes to JLew . Praying for a speedy recovery.

Well, she's actually a Redhawk alumni. Nobody is perfect.

You'll be an asset to any of the teams as I believe it's a scramble.

If your hope is to play golf more in future years, don't get married. I'm kidding (sorta). Just get a simulator (trust me). Early congratulations on the wedding!

If anyone needs an extra golfer. I'm an 8 index.

I question any Zip fan who is skipping a key Zip event like a golf outing for a meager excuse like his wedding. It seems Kreed has had his head turned by a subversive KSU spy masquerading as a love interest. Be very careful my friend. We would hate to lose you to the dark side. May the Zippy be with you.

Thank you!

Congratulations!

I saw this event shared yesterday. I'll unfortunately have to sit it out this year as I'm getting married on 9/19. I hope to participate in future years and am looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Basketball golf outing set for September 21st at Lake Forest Country Club. $150 individual, $600 foursome. Looking forward to this!

You're on to something. A couple of things people should use as a rule when betting this game and it has nothing to do with Akron. First, never be surprised when you see an ACC team has lost a game. The teams in the ACC are as unpredictable as MAC teams. It's one of the things I like about the league. I would not be surprised if the Zips win, but they won't. In my time following Wake Forest, they normally play a horrible early season game they should win easily and struggle to win. However, they end up winning. They looked horrible in their first game last season with a new coach and barely beat Kennesaw State 10-9. Then, they played well the rest of the season and went 8-4. I went to Boone to see them play App State a while back and if not for 2-3 blocked FGs, with one of those at the very end, they lose the game. I predict a close game with WF not coming close to covering spread. I also believe if you use Wake's first game performance to tell yourself they aren't very good, it will likely cost you money.

Think we can get "We went 5-7!!!" merch?

I don’t think the Zips win this game but I like taking the 22.5. Zips lose 35-17 but cover.

We have a regular customer at the card shop that's a big Akron fan. He brought his son in who is probably 8-10 years old. He asked me where he can get some 3Peat merch. Luckily, I was gifted an extra hat the other day and had it in my bag. Gave it to him and, man, you should've seen the smile on his face. He went to dinner and came back a couple hours later with the tags off. I asked if he will ever take the hat off and he said, "Nope," with a huge smile. Never be afraid to talk Zips with people. Never know who you'll leave an impression on and foster life-long fandom. Also, 3Peat merch is a huge hit. Props to Wentz and the FTRC crew on creating great merch.

If you're a degenerate/homer, the early line on the WF game is Zips +22.5 which I think might come down a bit later, especially if our new QB looks good in camp.

What we know so far....only games confirmed by other schools...are home games for the zips August 20 Dayton August 28 Wake Forest September 18 Butler (BE) October 11 Creighton (BE) October 24 Xavier (BE) Coach Embick and Coach Nanchoff have let fans know that Georgetown will be the 4th Big East home game. Based on past schedules, the zips will play Big East road games at DePaul, Marquette, Providence and Villanova. Zips coaches have previously mentioned attractive home games against Army, Cornell, Syracuse and Robert Morris. I am very excited about this year's team. Go, Zips !!!

We had already heard the rumor of a match against Dayton to start the season but it's confirmed here by Dayton. August 20th at 7 pm. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZN1VTlGhpG/?igsh=MW9xaTltOG16ZWcyZA==

My company covers my phone? Seems like a booger of an expense not to cover...probably 0.001% of the cost of the Country Club membership + dues? Oh well...he's gone, and we move on.

whatever

Part two here

Incredible achievement in a time where distance running is rapidly improving this generation and into the next

What if those paying the NIL have bottomless money?

Some would say, you get what you pay for.

Thank you. Am I understanding this correctly, that Akron isn't on the hook for any of Groce's bonuses from this past season? If that's the case, Akron essentially paid $500k for Groce last year after the buyout is taken out of the base salary. Wow. However, pertinent clauses in Groce's contract state the following: Payments of bonuses will be made in June, and if the coach were to terminate the contract (which Groce did a few months ago), the university's financial commitment to him would be limited to accrued but unpaid base salary and not include incentives. I like this. Not a very big bump, but it does place an emphasis on experience around Ford as he gets his feet wet as a HC. For three assistant coaches, Groce had a minimum base salary pool of $394,900. For three assistant coaches, Ford has a minimum base salary pool of $425,000 at his disposal.
