this is a direct link to first goal....great chip by Stefan

It worked.. BG won.

6'6" OT

The first half is probably the best half of soccer than Stefan has played as a zip. Outstanding work by Stefan.

And just like that, in the lead at 2-1 after another ten minutes.

GOAL! 2-1

Great string of passes there lead to a nice finesse goal by Stefan. 1-1

Wow, down 1-0 after dominating the first 15 minutes. That hurts. DePaul can sit in and defend.

That's not true either. 30 percent of all the budget needs of UofA are paid by the taxpayers. If not for the taxpayers, there is no UofA. If not for UofA there is no football team.

I would say we tried with a $60+ million stadium and whatever we spent on the fieldhouse as well. We have poured so much money into football, far more than any other sports, but it continues to be throwing more good money after bad.

Not directly, but indirectly. The athletic program relies on institutional support to make up any shortfalls in the athletic budget. If we have to come up with an extra $1 million that wasn't budgeted before where do you think if would come from? If no booster steps up it would likely need to come from the general fund.

I thought you might have been a Grobe guy..........,.... just kidding.

I would have killed to see Lemmy coaching the Zips.

Exactly…and I think most of us thought that would be a winnable game but when the team that beat you 45-3 loses to BG I think you need to pencil in another loss there.

Why? They made the best coaching hire in the MAC in years and are traditionally a solid MAC school. They were playing in front of a sold out stadium. The only sobering thing is we can't seem to come close to doing the same.

What percent of the students are Ohio taxpayers?

Can't let winning (i.e. last weeks win) be a deodorant - John Groce

Agreed, but some of that also comes back to team discipline and that is on the coaches.

They've tried with Ianello...and Brookhart...and Bowden...and Arth...and Motorhead....yet here we are. Maybe it's not all about the head coach?

BG beat Toledo - that’s sobering.

People act like it is their money being spent and if it was i would support that argument 100% but it isn't. not at all. the majority of people on here i believe want the team to win but others just come on here to complain and would never be happy. it's always the same thing. and on the two occasions that akron has won they say nothing at all. but the first mistake and instantly the come out with "where's the guru? ". doesn't matter if it is a bad play call or a penalty or an interception it's always the same "fire joe"... it's boring

K reed i probably agree with you 90-95 percent of the time, but the taxpayer argument is wrong. The football team does not cost the taxpayer a penny...

Make sure to check out the Zips men's basketball Instagram today. It has pics of the players in their first year and now. They're great, especially to see how kids like Amani and Tavari grew up.
