I’ll be doing my part bringing one more person than usual with me, might be a sell out because of me

I caught that too. Thought it was an interesting response.

JoeMo made an interesting comment in this week’s presser. Joe Dunn brought up how this is the first meeting between two former Fordham QBs coaching against each other (Carney played there), and Joe said “it may be the last”. Sounds like some politicking to me.

Both finished shooting 47% from 3 and 52%+ from the field. Must've been a handshake agreement to not play defense the entire game.

From BigSoccer.com (post by "RusskyHoya")... 😁 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/big-east-2025.2136176/page-4 Akron 1 @ Creighton 0: We can consider this to be the true baptism - or, in keeping with the conference's Catholic tint, the final ordination - of the Zips as a member of the Big East. An edgy, chippy, tense affair decided by a goal 'in the paint' put away following a deflection off of a defender. A gritty win on the road, capped off by some Grade A taunting of the home team and crowd after knocking the Bluejays from their Division Champ perch coming in and ending their season. Now that's Big East attitude!!!

I do not bet on sports but based on your recent hot streak, I am tempted.

I would also like to see us go to a bowl. We have had such a long streak of losing that winning 6 games and going to a bowl is indicative of a successful season. I hope if we do win 6 we ask the NCAA for an exemption from their ruling we are not bowl eligable and that take them to court if they do not back down. My understanding is that Michigan is bowl eligable because the people who cheated are no longer with the team and the NCAA felt it was wrong to penalize the current team for misdeeds of the people who are no longer with the team. Using that logic, Akron should also be bowl eligible.

One game at a time, of course...focus on UConn. However, it seems that Providence with an RPI currently at 72 will be fighting hard for the Conference automatic qualifier...their only ticket to the 2025 NCAA Tourney.

Time for some UConn payback (maddening we have not beaten them in conference yet) and then returning the favor on Georgetown when we were the #1 seed and 7-0-1 in confidence last year. Let's go Zips!

Also - John Groce is a freaking legend. We are lucky to have him.

I’m calling it now- Amani Lyles first team all MAC.

Zips SOS went 3-0 today. Murray state beat the worst time in D1 by a ton. Bucknell beat the last year 16 seeded Mount and Purdue beat Oakland… by only 10. Interesting one. But more good results!

The MAC went 4-0 today against Mid major or under competition. NIU is losing to wisconsin

Shout out to TennZip for the great coverage this season. You showed out!

Is that the year we got ran off the field by Toledo in Detroit? Going to the MAC championship with some college buddies was a fun experience regardless of result. We haven’t had much to enjoy being a Zips football fan, so I’ll take what I can get. If either Wyoming or UAB can pull off an upset, they are bowling. Even if not, im not sure they’re that much worse than other middling conference teams, and I think we’re better now. If we lose to the top teams (Miami, Toledo), have a winning record against decent teams (CMU, Buffalo, Ball State), and sweep the floor with the teams we’re supposed to beat, I’d say we’re a good team that deserves to play in a bowl.

I sometimes forget there are more than 30-40 soccer programs in the country because I don't think I've ever seen Akron outside of the top 30-40 in 20 years.
