I was on the flight home yesterday with our team. Kudos to the Southwest crew ... when we landed in Cleveland, they gave a shout out ... Congratulations to Coach Jared and the Akron Zips Men's Soccer team on their win, remaining undefeated and currently ranked #14 . The passengers applauded. Well-deserved accolades and some free publicity.

Bummed I missed introducing myself but I hope you had a good time. Rain sucked a bit but overall it was a very fun time. Special thank you to @HoopsFan03 and @Captain Kangaroo for teaming up with @GoZips88 and myself. Also a pleasure meeting @Hilltopper. A few scattered comments about the outing... Very fun event. KD and Dustin Ford were driving around together which was cool to see. Ty Pence is a stick - 180 yd par 3 downhill and he stuck it to 15-20 feet. As Clark mentioned, Burton was in a boot but it would've been fun to see him play; his "back to school fun fact" was that he's a scratch golfer. Goodrich gave people a read on #10 green which HoopsFan took advantage of by draining a 40 ft birdie putt. Nikola Cventinovic was there - cool to see him around the program still. One of the groups in the morning had a McNees, although I cannot confirm if it was Steve, a family member, or completely unrelated (unlikely). Adding to Clark's notes, Oriol will also likely be affected by a blanket Supreme Court ruling. This whole thing is a mess. The team is big. That was an obvious observation anytime the players were seen around the course/clubhouse. The assistant pro at Lake Forest - Isaiah I believe is his name - is an Akron grad that went to UA to play baseball the year the program was cut. He ended up staying and getting his degree. Incredibly nice individual. Andrew Goodrich was out and about. He, Dustin, and Wentz all gave speeches at certain points. Wentz made the comment that the program, athletic department, and University have never been more cohesive and in unison than right now. I missed some of the details, but it sounds like the program is in good standing financially, too. The women's team supposedly has the best collection of talent in a long, long time. Gensler and the team were also there, with the team taking tee shots for people on one of the par 3s. Lastly, the Akron community is awesome. I made the comment to my dad that despite Akron not having quite the same opportunities as a school like LSU, we get to root for guys like Dustin Ford instead of Lane Kiffin.

Some tidbits from the golf outing: * Many close to the program believe this is one of the most talented teams we've had. * There may be a big judicial decision soon that impacts Evan's eligibility. * The big man from Western Michigan, Burton, has a sprained ankle and could be out 4-6 weeks. * The kid from North Florida, Oriol, is a real shooter from distance. * The players, just like the teams in the past, really seem so enjoy each other.

QB: CB’s scrambling ability makes such a difference for this offense. Not only that, the majority of his passes were on point, and he looked more comfortable than he did last week, albeit this game was against much lesser competition. My one suggestion to him at this point would be to make the first defender miss and then slide down in the open field. He will not make it through the season taking those kinds of hits. Roggow once again came in and looked really good. Two of his passes in particular were absolute strikes, put right on the money. Regardless of who the opponent is, those throws were impressive. If something were to happen to CB, I feel good about Roggow’s ability to move the offense when needed. In my opinion, Roggow compares favorably to Finley. He may not be quite as physically gifted, but he seems to make better decisions with the ball. RB: Gant and Patrick looked healthy and explosive. The two combined for 148 rushing yards, with 90 of those yards coming after contact. They also added 85 yards through the air. Toss in CB’s rushing, and that’s 219 yards on the ground. If either Gant or Patrick had another top-end gear to hit in the open field, they’d both be playing for P4 schools right now. WR: While the receivers weren’t targeted as much this game, there were no drops. An unusual amount of passes went to the backs and tight ends. Overall, the perimeter blocking was good as well. Outside of the one fumble, this was a solid, workmanlike day for the wideouts. TE: JUCO addition Elijah Alexander played very well. He held up as a blocker and also took advantage of his opportunities in the passing game. We’ll need the tight ends to continue to develop as they are an important part of this offense. OL: For the most part, the offensive line bullied the RM defensive front, and there wasn’t much thrown at them that caused confusion. However, there are a few sticking points. I was very complementary of Hampton at RG last game, and while that holds true again in the run game, he was also the direct cause of two sacks. The first came as Asher Wilson beat him so badly off the snap, he was left standing flat-footed. The second came off a total whiff on a blitz (or maybe twist? I can’t recall for sure). The good news is those sequences can be cleaned up. The other concern I have is when Slayden comes out the game at LT. Gould has looked overwhelmed, and Shor hasn’t played up to his potential since he arrived. I’m not sure what the answer is outside of hoping Gould improves quickly. Either that or leave Slayden in for the entire game. DL: The good news is the defensive line manhandled the RM OL. Dahvon Frazier seemed to be in on everything and easily had his best game as a Zip. Perhaps the light is finally turning on and he’s ready to take the next step. We’re going to need more of that as the season progresses. Abor flashed what he can do on passing downs when matched up one-on-one as he exploded around the edge for the Zips only sack. Hull was a load for RM to handle on the interior, and I also noticed he was often one of the first ones to congratulate the offense and special teams on the sideline as they were coming off the field. Kavals and Waye had their moments again. I think Kavals is going to be really good. It’s too bad we only have Waye for a single season. Williams didn’t play as much this game, as he looked to have a cast on his hand. Now for the bad: Pass Rush. Yes, RM was focused on getting the ball out quickly, but on the times when Akron should have been reaching the quarterback, it happened far too little. This area must improve. LB: Johnson and Curtis were really good. I also noticed Nunoo flying around, though I think he slipped off a few tackles. In any case, this group is coming together nicely. DB: White is really coming along. I would not be surprised if he ends up All-MAC at this rate. Safety play was also solid. I think it was Tairan Davis who had the diving interception wiped off by what looked to be a questionable holding call on another defender. T. Thomas had a terrible day in coverage. He got beat on the long touchdown and also gave up a PI. It’s a safe bet future opponents are going to come after him until he improves his play. ST: Special teams were excellent in every area today. Final Thoughts: The Zips handled a RM squad that really doesn’t have the talent or depth to match up for four quarters. Hopefully, this win is a building block that will help with next weekend’s matchup against a far more difficult opponent.

Top Drawer soccer poll Zips were #7 last week. this week, #2............. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men

When the Zips won the National Title in Santa Barbara I met Doc Nash (and sadly didn't know who he was at the time - did get a nice photo with him though). What a game to win on a night honoring him.

Ladies won 1-0 last night at Toledo. Brings them to 2-1-1 in conference 💪💪 They're still undefeated at home w/ a record of 3-0-1.

In honor of The University of Akron’s most famous, and favorite Offensive Coordinator, we’re inviting you to “Party With Marty!” in the grass area behind the south goal post on Saturday September 26th! “I Partied With Marty!” tee shirts will be handed out to the first 1000 participants courtesy of Sully’s Tool and Party Rental. In addition, $2.00 Bud Lights will be available in a commemorative “I Partied With Marty” souvenir cup! Hey Zips fans…let’s “Fill the Hill!” Show up in the beginning of the 2nd quarter to get your cups, tee shirts, and party hearty with Marty! Let's show Las Vegas how to really party!! BEAT UNLV!

He'll fit perfectly with Doug Gottlieb 🤡🤡

The best one-liner of the day is when Ford said "I'll be a lot better coach next year if those two guys are eligible."

Marty had a blast. He was completely blown away by the press, the fans, the team, and the coaching staff. He found a few minutes between being interviewed by dozens of outfits once his headset was taken away and his post game press conference to come up and sit with Charlie and I. It was a great experience and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. He was the best man at my wedding, so I know him pretty well. However, if anyone can tell us why the Arby's was written upside down on his hat, you will win a prize!

I don't see why we can't compete at the MAC level. I don't see a lack of talent or lack of available talent. There will always be players transferring down to schools like Akron. The problem on the field is lack of execution, not lack of talent. And in addition, there seems to be a pretty serious coaching problem, both developmentally and in-game. I am convinced that if we found a hungry young coach who wanted to prove himself in FBS, the Zips could be successful. In terms of NIL and other resources, It's not as if many other programs are not in the same boat.

This game will tell a lot about the remaining MAC season and bowl eligibility. I'd call it a must-win.

Robert Morris enters Saturday’s matchup 2-0 with wins over Wagner (1-1) and West Virginia State (DII, 1-1). The Colonials are averaging 28.5 PPG and holding opponents to 8 PPG. The offense is producing 228.5 yards through the air and 127.5 on the ground, while allowing opponents 111.5 in the air and 92 on the ground. QB: Carson Haggard started his collegiate career at Tulane in 2022. He did not see any action during his two years with the Green Wave and subsequently transferred to Abilene Christian. At Abilene, Haggard played in three games in 2024, but did not play in 2025. This should be his final season of college football. Through two games, Haggard has thrown for 430 yards, 6 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and completed 56% of his passes. When kept clean Haggard completes 61% of his passes, compared to only 39% when pressured. The Colonials are willing to role Haggard out and call some designed runs for him as he has some mobility and can be effective as a runner. RB: Junior Keino Fitzpatrick is the starter after being shifted from wide receiver to running back this offseason. Fitzpatrick is small in stature, but has some shiftiness about him. He currently has 95 yards on 17 attempts, along with 3 receptions for 21 yards. WR: Cincinnati, Ohio native Galen Combs leads the team in receiving yards with 188 on 6 receptions and also has 4 touchdowns. However, the receiver that has been targeted the most is redshirt sophomore Jaqai Carter. Carter has 8 receptions for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns. Both players have some length to them as Combs is 6’2” and Carter is 6’0”. TE: Arkansas Pine-Bluff transfer Tyreke Jinks is the starter at tight end. He is mostly utilized as a blocker, but the Colonials will take advantage of his receiving ability. Jinks has 2 receptions for 10 yards and has been targeted 4 times. OL: The offensive line has yet to give up a sack this season: LT - Jarvis Williams (6’5 300lbs) (So.) LG - Marc Koumoundouros (6’3 285) (Sr.) C - Pete Jarvis (6’2 295) (R. So.) RG - Vincent Boila (6’4 300) (So.) RT - Grant Murin (6’4 285) (Sr.) DL: Robert Morris deploys a 3-3-5 and will usually bring down an OLB as an overhang into a 4-2-5. Utah State transfer John Gayer and sophomore Asher Wilson start at the defensive end spots with junior David Johnson in the middle. Redshirt senior Khalil Hunter is the linebacker who will usually walk down as the overhang. The defense as a whole has collected 8 sacks on the season. LB: Chattanooga transfer Amanuel Dickson and Columbus, Ohio native Jake Lopinto are the other starting linebackers. They’ve collected 15 and 12 total tackles, respectively. DB: Columbus, Ohio native Mekhi Kilburn and senior Ronnie Woods are the starting cornerbacks. Senior Tahseen Howard is the nickleback and punt returner. Former Ball State transfer Elijah Davis and former Akron transfer Noel Roach are the starters at safety. Kilburn, Woods, and Howard have been targeted fairly evenly by opposing offenses. ST: Kicker Lucca Alcarez-Valens is 7 for 7 on extra point attempts, but has missed his only field goal attempt. He has also put 5 of his 10 kickoffs into the endzone. Punter Bryson Costa averages nearly 46 yards per punt with four of 50+ yards and three downed inside the 20. Keys on Offense: Get push in the run game early and give the backs room to work. Gant doesn’t need much room to operate anyway and if Akron can get Gant and Patrick going, it’ll open up all kinds of opportunities for the Zips talented receiver corps. Keys on Defense: Pass rush and depth development. Durham did not play against Wake and he should add at least a little more edge pressure when he does return. The defensive line as a whole must get more push than what we saw against the Deacons. This will be a good opportunity to find which players step up in game situations and have the potential to contribute in conference action. Final Thoughts: The Colonials coaching staff has done a great job getting the most out of the talent they have. However, Akron is more talented across the board and will easily be the most physical opponent Robert Morris has faced in 2026. Zips should win this game handily.

It is safe to say that your national ranking should not improve when you tie a team with an 0-6-1 record. that being said, number 23 Washington should be much higher in next week’s rankings. Washington, the defending national champion, demolished Ohio State tonight 4-0. The details are even worse than the score. Ohio State did not have a shot on goal. Washington led 17-4 in shots 8-0 in SOG 13-2 in corner kicks

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdPaQZtiKPu/?stkn=dmRsdDJlazF4bXZ3 Very cool way to close the chapter on this. I was at the game with my family. Other than the three thousand media commercials i thought it was a good atmosphere. Marty was a celebrity and it seemed like the entire Akron fan base bought into it. A view Marty chants broke out now and then and he was even walking throughout the stands and interacting with the fans. Im old and a softy now but I am so glad that Marty won this now because after all of this I am sure it meant more to this man than some celebrity that would have came in got the attention and left never to think of the Zips again.

SLU 1-2 AKR FT For the third consecutive match (not counting the WVU no-contest), Zips come from behind to equalize and then go on to score the winner in the waning minutes of the match. GK Brett Kaminski heroically saved an on-target PK with 0:40 remaining. Zips display great resiliency, but surely there is no long future to this pattern. Much better to score first in a sport where scoring is so rare. On the other hand, Akron are not flustered by being down a goal. Coach Embick and Co. should be applauded for utilizing Zips' deep bench over these previous three matches. Over Embick's now long tenure, Akron have averaged about 14 players per match. Without mining the actual data, my guess is around 16 or 17 per match this season. Last night in Saint Louis, Zips employed 19. This is a welcome change, if not one late in coming.

This is a real measuring stick game for the Zips as it is the first game this season against a similarly situated MAC opponent. The Zips should be at a point where these games are at a minimum competitive.

Nemer signed 3 year extension, which was published by the ABJ. I found the attached article, which provides the details and isn't hidden behind a paywall. https://www.kentucky.com/news/nation-world/national/article317444289.html

Nice to see the Beacon do an article before the game. The zips need a big crowd on Friday night https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2026/09/24/akron-mens-soccer-georgetown-nationally-ranked-ncaa-teams-robert-morris/91899785007/ "We have done a really good job of getting some key wins.," Embick said. "Obviously, in [the Big East] conference, we didn't start well with only one point [with a 0-0 draw against Butler on Friday, Sept. 18]. Now you gotta face Georgetown. I think Friday night is a huge game for us. We gotta get something out of that. We gotta get momentum in the Big East. Non-conference, we have been excellent. We gotta bring that to conference play. "... We gotta show them [Georgetown] what Akron's about. Give them a nice rude welcoming to town. We can't make it easy on them. That's the [AK-]Rowdies. That's the fans. That's the community. We gotta make this a fortress on Friday."

QB: Auburn transfer Jackson Arnold is a dual threat with the ball in his hands. He’s thrown for 601 yards and two touchdowns, and has run for 132 yards and 3 touchdowns. Arnold has yet to throw an interception, but he has fumbled three times. Interestingly, when Arnold does throw the ball, he has actual been better when being blitzed than when he has not. He’s completed almost 67% of his passes against the blitz compared to 56% when not blitzed. That said, Arnold has been known to hang on to the ball too long and take the sack instead. RB: Senior Jai’Den Thomas is the leading rusher with 224 yards and one touchdown. 166 of those yards have come after contact. He also has 7 receptions for 52 yards. WR: Oregon State transfer Taz Reddicks leads the team in receiving yardage with 120 yards on 8 receptions. Sophomore Kayden McGee is next with 103 yards and a touchdown on 5 receptions. UNLV spreads the ball around a good bit despite who is listed as a starters. TE: Arizona transfer Keyan Burnett is the main option at tight end with 7 receptions for 75 yards, though the Rebels will rotate several players at the position. OL: The offensive line has allowed 11 sacks, with 10 of those coming to Memphis and North Texas. LT - Alekai Afoa - 6’4 295 (Jr.) (JUCO) LG - Colton Thomasson - 6’8 325 (R.Jr.) (Baylor) C - Griffin Scroggs - 6’3 330 (R. Sr.) (App State) RG - Amare Taase - 6’4 330 (R. So.) RT - Jackson Brown - 6’6 310 (R. Jr.) (Pittsburgh) DL: Redshirt freshman Kal-El Togafau starts at one edge with sophomore Andre Porter on the opposite side. The duo has combined for 10 total tackles and 2 sacks. Junior Lucas Conti is an interior starter that will also be slid outside. Redshirt freshman Eliah Logo typically lines up at nose tackle. LB: Holy Cross transfer Cam Santee and former Arizona transfer Kamuela Ka’Aihue start at linebacker, and have combined for 35 total tackles. DB: Seniors Denver Harris and Quandarious Keyes start at cornerback. Former UCONN transfer Mumu Bin-Wahad starts at nickleback, with senior Jake Pope and sophomore Tre Fulton at the safeties. Opposing offenses have targeted Keyes twice as much as any other player in the secondary. ST: Junior Ramon Villela has gone 2 for 3 on field goals and 6 for 6 on extra points. Kennesaw State transfer Matt Choules averages 43 yards per punt, with a long of 64 yards and 7 punts downed inside the twenty. Keys on Offense: Get the ball out quickly, don’t cause unnecessary setbacks, and attempt to establish the run game. The Rebel defense has talent, but has steadily become worse at tackling as the season has progressed - according to PFF. Keys on Defense: UNLV wants to run the ball and will utilize their quarterback, running backs, and wide outs in their ground game. If the Rebels get ahead, it may be hard to recover. Akron has to stay focused on their keys as UNLV will use some type of shift or motion on almost every play pre-snap. Final Thoughts: I wouldn’t go as far to say the Zips are the better team, but it is certainly a winnable game. Despite the Rebels playing poorly at times, they still have a talented roster. The Zips will need to play well to give themselves an opportunity to beat a team that looked primed to be one of the best in the G6, during the off-season.

Zips got three recruits today: Kobe Lewis - Fairfield, OH Jason Thomas - Sunrise, FL Wilzard Sterling - Lake Worth, FL Haven't looked into them but all seem like pretty good gets

My issue with the play was this...prior to the INT, the previous 5 plays were: - 15 yd pass - 18 yd run - 5 yd run - 11 yd run - Incomplete pass They were moving the ball with ease. It was 2nd and 10 at the UNLV 24 yd line. It was not the time to have Jordan Gant attempt a pass for the first time in his collegiate career.

I'm not sure what the point of a press conference is if you're not gonna ask about a QB injury.

i love the gold jerseys

I don’t have much to say about this one. The score line should have been better, but we hurt ourselves. I’m hoping we are relatively healthy for next week. QB: Without CBs legs, our run game basically went out the window. Roggow made some nice throws, but the offense shifted to a more traditional setup with Roggow running the show. RB: There weren’t that many opportunities and even less running room. Gant also fumbled once. WR/TE: The drops were drive killers. Can’t have those and expect to beat/compete with many teams. OL: The line couldn’t get consistent push in the run game and allowed pressure 31% of the time according to PFF. DL: I’m not sure what Abor’s status is, but he was a menace lined up both inside and out. Having Durham on the opposite side made a difference. Frazier and Kavals continue to progress. LB: Johnson and Nunoo were really good and easily had their best games as Zips. DB: Our nicklebacks and safties struggled, as did most cornerbacks not named White. I’m guessing White will miss at least several weeks from here. Galloway did seem to have some good snaps today, so we’ll see if he gets more action next week. ST: Patrick’s blunder came at a tough time and basically sealed any chance of making this a competitive contest. Castle had a solid day punting the ball with a long of 52 and three downed inside the 20.

This is amazing, but is anyone gonna tell Marty? He has no idea! 🙂

I blame Marty Whims for this.

While there were 167 TV breaks, not one of them went by with nothing going on. Either there was a game/contest, some other activity, the band playing, etc. The PA kept working to get the crowd involved and such. It was a proper gameday operation, IMO

I stumbled upon Keith Kennedy's thoughts on the production level. For those who don't know, he was the in-stadium host back in the early days of the new stadium.

The Zips made good use of their bench tonight. On the offensive side, I want to salute FaFa (Farrell Ngongang) and Noa Testa. FaFa hustle and great pass resulted in a fine goal by Noa Testa. Noa Testa was very active and quick and he created a lot of offense for the Zips. However, my unsung hero for the night is freshman Cole Perez. He came in at center back and really stabilized the back line. Great clutch performance by a freshman. Freshman Austin Thum also came in and played some very good minutes in place of Matt Dreas. The coaching staff deserves credit for recognizing that some key veterans were not having effective nights.....and the coaching staff wisely brought in Cole, FaFa, Noa, Braxton , Leo , Austin and others. This win would not have been possible without great contributions from freshmen and sophomores.

Women’s soccer is now 4-3 after beating Mercyhurst 4-0

That's a season-defining win. Go down early, equalize right before halftime, take another shot to the nads shortly after to trail again, then equalize again quickly, weather their late storm, then find the back of the net for a sub-1 minute remaining goal. Heck of a win. Cornell monkey is off our backs.

It would have been nice to have this level of advocacy from the conference with MSOC vs. NW'ern in the NCAAT ~20 years ago, MBBALL vs. UCLA in the NCAAT, and FOOTBALL at Michigan in 2014. I think what the MAC member schools see is that WMU has a strong potential to otherwise go 13-0 and be the playoff seed for the lower level schools. If this loss stands, the MAC's best opportunity for that slot diminishes greatly, and each member school potentially loses out on hundreds of thousands of dollars of additional revenue.

Shockingly, officiating potentially cost us that game as well with the PI in the end zone not called against Michigan in the final seconds. Michigan vs. Oberlin in 1892 has been a precursor for all these controversial results ending in Michigan victories. It was agreed upon prior to the game that 4:50pm would be the official end so Oberlin could catch their train home. Oberlin was up 24-22 and the referee (Oberlin substitute) called the game at 4:50pm and Oberlin left the field. An umpire (a Michigan supporter) said the time was only 4:46pm, so Michigan stayed on the field, ran another play that resulted in a 4 pt touchdown, and claimed victory. The following year, Oberlin coach John Heisman became the head coach at Buchtel (now the University of Akron).

What bullshit. Time had expired. Big Ten home cooking.

Looked like there were two Arby’s logos on the shirt?

Beto Ydrach called up for CONCACAF Nations League duty with Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

Rules only apply to programs like Akron, not programs like LSU or Michigan.

True an Akron team would never have an ineligible player working with the team this close to the season

Props to Embick and his staff on creating a tough schedule. #2 SOS so far that doesn't include WVU because of the no contest. Akron soccer is a gold standard in men's soccer - they deserve so much more support than what they get.

Which is why I will still root for Michigan vs. Ohio State - the Suckeyes fan base is a miserable one and it's hilarious to see them deal with failure.

First ever over Cornell. 👍

I see one. It's one where the G5 conferences come together and create their own division and stop playing P4 schools. These schools would offer scholarships and stipends like the military academies pay their attendees (at some schools, ROTC members make a stipend of around$400 per month). If the players want to earn money elsewhere, that's up to them and whatever agent they may have. They must be on a path to graduation. There would be a structure for coach pay and staff structure and headcount. Players get one transfer. One additional transfer if the coach that recruited them gets fired. Five years of college football at any level is enough. If a player gets cut, the school must continue to pay their scholarship and monthly stipend for as long as that student attends the university. Limit the influence of athletic departments to day to day management of their departments and no influence in revenue generation. Share TV revenue and no team shall have more than one game a year played on any day except Saturday. Regionalized teams, 11 game season, regional winners make a playoff system and crown a champion before, on or the first weekend after January 1. I think this would be a good start.

If you like watching rich kids steal from the homeless…

This did not hold up well. Silly me for seeing the clock at 0 and thinking the game was over, but somehow it was not over.

BS call giving them an extra second.
