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.

Good crowd today! Bleachers are almost full

You have a heck of a fan base, considering how many Cowboys fans showed up this far away after a 3-9 season. Good luck, and I hope to see you in the Playoffs.

I want to thank the Zip fans for their hospitality and kindness during our game. We found parking across from the stadium on a dirt field. The Akron fans there assured us it was OK and subjected us to some friendly ribbing about the game. I apologize for not getting over to the tailgates as we were late getting to the stadium and made it to our seats as the Zips kicked off. I was amused by comments of the Zips fans about their team's performance because the Wyoming fans were saying essentially the same things about the Cowboy's performance on their board. To me, it was a contest between two closely matched teams and the Pokes were lucky to pull it out. Eliminate the one interception, make the missed field goal and a couple more made plays and Akron would have won. So thanks again for your hospitality and here's hoping the Zipx win the rest of their games.

I’m sorry if this announcer on espn is a student but it’s rough. He just said recuperates the ball.

Oh goodness. Every day he's still here is just another day the "great new AD" proves his incompetence

If he's here, and I have heard it both ways, he competes with the forwards and wings for minutes. The Duquesne kid is the "viable backup big" who will share minutes with Amani.

I get it. He's underfunded. How about giving the school and the Akron sports fans some reason to provide you with more funding? Awful football and making zero effort to engage the community, while alienating donors, won't bring you more money. John Groce is 53 years old. Joe Morehead is 51. I see a hell of a lot more energy and efforts at engagement out of Groce. As a result, his program gets my money, not the losing program that acts like it couldn't care less about my fandom.

Friday August 29 American University and number 1 Vermont battled this afternoon to a 1-1 result. Vermont led 12-7 in shots ; 6 to 1 in shots on goal and 9-2 in corners Vermont plays at Georgetown on Monday September 1.

He was making similar comments last season as well. To me it just comes a crossed as he's incapable of adapting to the changing landscapes of college athletics. Kent also has a poorly funded football program. Sean Lewis found a way of turning lemons into lemonade. He was too busy finding ways of making due with what he had to make excuses. Perhaps Moorhead is just at a point in his career where he no longer has that drive.

You misunderstand my point. That game was an awful bore to watch. As for the Top of the MAC competing with the Bottom of the Big Ten ... so what? It's not good football. The bottom of the Big Ten is awful, which means the top of the MAC is awful. It's not good football, and it's not particularly interesting or fun to watch. And pretending Akron is going to become that is just being silly. It's not, and it's time to STOP WASTING THE MONEY ON IT, all while the University is underpaying professors, cutting programs and shortchanging students. Akron CANNOT compete, and it's time to stop this farce.

Great question. I'm guessing the answer is yes. I didn't think this until I read Captain Kangaroo's report of the event held in west Akron before the season. When a coach openly bellyaches at a public event about all the things he doesn't have, he's finished. If you give a crap about how the program is viewed publicly, you don't do that.

OU had a chance to win the game and only lost by three. OU is what a competent MAC program looks like. There is no reason a top third of the MAC shouldn't be able to complete against a bottom third Big Ten school. College football is broken in that almost everyone is just playing games and trying to make money to support a bloated athletic department. There are only 5 to 7 programs tops who have a shot at winning a championship. Akron can compete, but it has to be at a level where money is less important. I don't know that exists right now nationally, but I would bet a lot of universities would breathe a sigh of relief if it did.

News? Do go on.

More thoughts: By the end of the first quarter everyone in the stadium knew Finley didn't have it. Why stick with him? When Johnson came in for the obvious running play the Zips still got the yards they needed. Let him stay in or go to Roggow. That gives us a chance. Finley doesn't give us any. The win is most important. How you get it is not. In the second half my buddy and I started watching Finley as the offense came off the field. Only once did a coach talk to him and it wasn't Joe. For an offensive genius Joe never said a word to his QB. Finley was alone. Only Johnson came over next to him and seemed to try to pump him up. If the guy is having a bad day help him. Coach him up. Nothing was done. Is Joe mailing it in? Finley on the other hand did not pump up his teammates. He sat and stewed. The only emotion we saw was when he attacked a Gatorade water cooler with his helmut. It was Johnson who came over and picked the cooler up and put it back where it belonged. Johnson seems to be a high character kid.

Dear god the ESPN+ experience was awful. Reghi needs to retire, and the ESPN+ crew couldn't even put the proper down and distance. It would just sit there blank. And why are there so many commercial breaks for ESPN+? It makes no freaking sense, and the game was so boring anyways so it's all just insane. Dear god watching the grainy GoZips.com feed of the games back in the 2010s was better than this crap.

Agreed. Akron Football is NEVER GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE and we need to stop living the fantasy. I watched the first hour of the OU vs Rutgers game too, which was remarkably boring, and both teams sucked balls. There needs to be a reckoning in college athletics, and this crap has to end.

I have never bet or sports so I guess I am a diehard fan and have been following the Zips since attending school in the 80s. Actually, the game was frustrating but it was not a blowout. The defense had some great stops on 4th down, played well and we had some excellant punts. Findley had his worst game as a Zip and very dissapointing offense.

University needs a big win after last night. Lets get!

great news about the Serbian. Wonder with whom he will be fighting for time? The Duquense guy? Conner?
