I'm surprised this topic hasn't been brought up yet on this forum. UA is looking for $65,000 by February 20th. http://give.uakron.edu/site/MessageViewer?em_id=3981.0&s_AffiliateSecCatId=1&dlv_id=7601&pw_id=1481

EMU offers a deal called the Little Caesars 4 pack. You get 4 GA tickets, 4 slices of pizza, and 4 drinks for $34. The same 4 pack without a drink and pizza would have cost rowdyzip $87. I'm sure plenty of other schools are offering better promotions than we do.

He's still having nightmares of McAdams, Kretzer, McNeese, and Linhart dominating O-Who & the MAC. Damn those slow, white, cerebral players...

Was a Bowden recruit. Glad to see that he's still on board after a visit with the new staff.

What does white have to do with it?

I hope Zips faithful will contribute to this as best they can. This is an important fundraiser that I thought would go out to a wider distribution. Coach Embick is staying and keeping Zips Men's Soccer at the highest levels. We only lost 2 starters from last season among those who left as seniors or underclassmen. We have 4 players who joined for Spring with at least 4 more (reported by Top Drawer Soccer) coming, and I'm confident to say the 2019 Zips look to pick up where they left off in 2018. In 2009, the Zips were National Runners Up in Cary, NC; in 2010, the Zips were National Champions in Santa Barbara. Next year, the College Cup is in Cary, NC...so, let's switch that around. 2018/Runners Up in Santa Barbara, 2019/National Champions in Cary. Go Zips!!!

Well, sure, but those are Ypsilanti dollars.

You want some entertainment for $10 and you can park for free? Come to the Stile Athletics Fieldhouse tonight and watch YOUR Zippies - MAC Champions by the way - track and field team battle it out against the Flushes in the Wagon Wheel Challenge parts 5 and 6! Starts at 7! Or like a lot of you on this forum, you can catch it for free on ESPN3 (but come, really...)

I have not made an Akron game yet, but what comes to mind is a local single A baseball team, the Kane County Cougars. Even with 2 major league teams an hour away people find this to be an easier, safer, more comfortable and family friendly option. This is obviously apples to oranges in a number of ways to college basketball, but the Cougars are always setting attendance records. Ticket prices are not cheaper either, between $14 -27, $10 parking, but they do sell beer. https://www.milb.com/kane-county Or the Zips could make it to the final four. That might do it.

thanks...I have season tickets and I donate to soccer only...I did not get anything from Dr. Green

Buying a $30 cap and $25 snacks, then giving up a good entertainment option ... definitely a first world problem..

This campaign is intended to insure that the Zip men's soccer program stays in the top 5 in the country, where it belongs. The top 5 programs are Akron, Indiana, Wake Forest, UCLA and Maryland. Stanford could be argued as one of the top 5 also. We are the only program that is not a Power 5 school. The stress on resources at Akron to keep up is extreme. And yet, as Zip_ME87 says, we are loaded like no other program for a great run next year. Players, that at other programs may leave early, stay at Akron because of the culture, the coaches, the style, the love the community has for soccer and a good chance to succeed in the pros if they stay as long as possible. The university has been under tremendous financial pressure due to the drop in enrollment. Until the enrollment is increased and stabilized athletic budgets will be affected. It will take 3-5 years to reach enrollment goals so until then this campaign is necessary to put soccer on a sound footing and keep the outstanding staff we have. Preliminary feedback from our pro soccer alums is very favorable. They are committed to keeping the program strong. But they can't do it alone that's why the university is reaching out to all fans, friends and alums to make this a success. Consider being part of this outstanding athletic tradition. Your support is needed.

3/4* rated RB. Has offers from a whole bunch of P5 schools.

That poster deserves its own thread. Outstanding.

I'd think that going 37-52 the last seven seasons and a 47 point loss in their last bowl already had them off to a good start...

I am really happy for everyone who wanted to see the Zips move to 1AA. We are well on our way....
