Okay...now you’ve really got to pinch me. Another upset, but not as big, as the WSOC team beats Toledo 1nil on a Sydney Worthy header from a difficult angle thru the keepers legs. 3 straight MAC wins and maybe a tourney berth....1 match to go at Buffalo Thursday afternoon! Wow. Wow wow wow.

https://gozips.com/news/2018/10/20/mens-soccer-northern-illinois-stuns-akron-2-1.aspx "I thought we had a decent first half and missed some opportunities to go up by two," Akron head coach Jared Embick commented. "In the second half, we just didn't compete at the level we need to. Our effort and play is unacceptable. We lost too many 50-50 battles, passed the ball poorly and didn't support play well. I have to find a way to get the team to be more consistent, we are capable of better."

Look, when you're on a losing streak, any kind of win is a good win. A road win in a rivalry game that goes down to the last snap in OT is a GREAT win, when you're on a losing streak. Momentum is a real thing, and we still have a realistic shot at bowl eligibility.

Anyone notice that Hester isn't on the gozips roster? I know he's not eligible until January, but I'd still think he'd be listed?

It's been a good year for the MAC against outside competition: the MAC has the 3rd best conference RPI (out of 24 conferences total), behind only the ACC (way ahead of everyone else) and the Pac-12: http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/Conference RPI Rank

Thanks for introducing me to the term "ahnedonic." Inability to experience pleasure. Love it. You definitely aren't a KSU grad with that vocabulary.

Is or isn't difficult? Don't we have CMU and BG at home. My Kent grad friend compares Bowden to Senderoff. Does just enough to save his skin each year.

I was on the #FireBowden bandwagon for about 10 days. Last night I jumped off. -We've won 4-straight vs KSUcks. -I'm very happy with our recruiting (which is HUGE). (Thank you, Coach Mounds.) -We're in the running for our 3rd bowl game in 4 years. Akron football is at a level it's never been before. But still... I just want more. Something just feels... off. I hate our under-achieving offense & desperately want to see something shook up. #DemoteMilwee

My friend you are sick. A good team beats this Kent team by 21. The only good thing about today was that we won. But we did not get better.

I heart #13.

I don't know what everyone is talking about in previous posts. What a great win! Did anyone notice the players out for the OT coin toss. Did Kent send out only Matt Bahr and no one shook hands? Anyhow, I thought the Zips played pretty damn good. How can you feel bad about an overtime 1 point away victory against your rival especially when they screwed up! I love it! Go Zips!

I sat there in the rain for that whole damn game. The OTs were played right in front of Akron band and the few fans who stayed to the bitter end.

Near the conclusion of the game several Nebraska players, lined up on the sideline, were rowing the boat.

West Virginia and SIUE are currently in weather delay. The stream is free. BG and W. Mich currently scoreless with about 21" left first half. Stream is also free

Tell you what. This offense is bad. But Kato wanted it. He wanted the ball and wanted to beat Kent. Can't hate on that one bit

Good grief...it's a miracle Kato didn't fumble it on his last play in regulation. You cannot flail the ball around like that with one arm while being sacked. Wrap it up.

I thought early in the season we were running a lot of misdirection, jet sweeps, quick hitters to the wide receivers. Now it is zone read, zone read and you guessed it, more zone read.

Do we ever get more than 1-2 yards on the Zone read?

They give away a match at home against W. Virg, Beat a good Mich state on the road. Beat a good Creighton team at home. This team, lacks focus, and composure. I am still hopeful, but we face the real possibility of missing the NCAA'S. Something Akron fans have not witnessed for MANY YEARS

Parrish heading to Nevada. That’s a step or two up from us.
