Very impressive, a lot of top 10 players for a 1-3 team. Grant had to take a gigantic leap after padding his stats last week but still, good for him. Good homework Zippy

I was playing on PFF which as you know is completely unbiased and I was completely shocked when I looked and saw these stats. I am not the guru that CAT is and you come to the conclusions that you want. I am just posting for you all to see in case you are curious like I was because I was stunned...

He was injured towards the end of summer camp and I was told he might miss the entire season.

This is the way and @Zips1991 is spot on. It's the best kept secret in Akron athletics, although it looks like more and more people are utilizing this trick. I bought a season ticket for football solely so I could move all but 1 game to the Wyoming game. It ended up being quite a bit cheaper for my family to attend the Wyoming game, and I still have a ticket to the Kent game, plus the parking pass. I also did the same for basketball this year, but haven't figured out which games I want to attend. With 3 kids (6, 3, and 5 months), it's the most convenient way to attend Akron sporting events. You can email Matt or call the ticket office and they've been very good about making any changes in a timely manner. Early congratulations on the marriage!

With Toledo coming off a loss and Akron beating them last year, I think there is little chance Toledo comes into this game sleeping. Whether or not Toledo wins by 20+ I'm uncertain, but I have little faith of the Zips pulling off an upset.

Bold of you to assume he'll remain a Zip long enough for that to he the case.

Toledo, 2-2, are struggling and....Zips are getting 21.5 points?

I think we're still pretty early in the season and the polls will have a lot of volatility. But I do agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense. 😂

Not sure which thread to put this in, but does anyone know if the Big East tournament is 4 teams or 8 teams this year? It looks to me like it's only 4 teams, but it's been 8 in past years.

Akron at 12????? and undefeated UConn at #25.... I am a zip fan....but this poll has zero credibility

Zips are #12 in the College Soccer News poll this week. While Saint Louis is #10. https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-soccer-week-5-top-25-coaches-poll-michigan-makes-a-big-jump-into-the-top-10-and-portland-continues-to-rise/

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually taking the Zips and the 21 1/2. I don't think they can beat them straight up but I don't think they get beat by 22 either. I expect some changes on the defensive line. They have to get pressure on the qb. I am so impressed with Coop and Malcom. They have really been a bright spot to the defense. Coop is ranked 52 out of 786 by PFF and Malcom is ranked 20 out of 834 by PFF Those are incredible.....

Love DeWalt. He stood out to me last week at UAB. Really passes the eye test. Love Gant coming on & Sean Patrick has a chance to be the best Zips RB since Brandon Payne

Zips come in at #23 in this week's Top Drawer poll. Saint Louis is at #21. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men

Despite missing the next 15 days, Bassitt could still earn that October starting spot. The Jays will face a decision between a currently struggling Scherzer and Bassitt after a long layoff.

I wish the Zips could start out a season 2-2 and fans describe us as struggling. Toledo plays extremely well at home. They blew out Morgan State and handled a good WKU program. They have a relatively close loss at Kentucky and a one point loss on the road at Western, who always plays well at home. Take the Rockets giving the points. If you don't have much to do Saturday, go to the game if you are close enough. Toledo is a great setting for a college football game. It's going to be 80 degrees there on Saturday. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Wow, Toledo -21.5

Your friend....was correct.....that a play from the UConn vs. Akron was number 1..... Alas, it was not an Akron goal.... ESPN pays tribute to the UConn GK

That was the clown on Howdy Duty, Clara Bell.

Finley had mid 50% completion rate. If you give him the drops, his numbers would look much better, but "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride". That int can't happen again! People aren't giving the Dukes much credit, but they are scholarship players. We man handled them. Give the guys some credit. The Rockets are struggling, but I'm guessing that we will be +15 or so. If we can limit the explosive plays on D and create some on O, we will play the Rockets even up. Our D has a real good taste in their mouth. They will limit the Rockets. The O needs to step it up in the passing game complimenting our run game. This is the week we start to put it together. Zips 27 / Rockets 20

You gamblers should pay attention to me for the Rockets game. ( if you excuse my typo in the original.)
