Felt like 40-0 due to inflation adjustment.😂

Up and coming!! 😂

Let’s not look down our noses at MAC MSOC until we have our boots firmly on their throats.

I'm glad I'm not the only Zips fan that feels this way! 😁 As recently as Arth's first year, you had a pretty solid idea who was going to be on the field when the season began. Today? Good luck. I think you can place either "Who's he?" or "Meh" next to anyone's name but Bubba's on defense. You saw a flash of potential here or there with some of the incumbents...but there are three All MAC team levels, plus Honorable Mention, and no 2021 defensive Zip was anywhere close to nabbing a spot. Charles Amankwaa is one unmentioned name that bears watching (I don't think he's transferred?). 3 INT's last season led the team.

Offer to 6-3 Indiana Elite AAU player. Only other offer is Evansville. Second 2024 offer after Jamisyn Stinson.

A fresh and clean look for the new turf would be nice.No two tone colors or stripes.Real grass would be nice.The soccer field seems to hold together in November.

🙏☺ Just don't ask me to remember any passwords!

*Again

I do agree with you that the MAC has badly struggled for the last decade...to maintain 6 teams in the league. However, if BGSU, WMU and NIU are so terrible and unwilling to commit to top notch soccer, Akron should be easily clobbering those teams every time that they play him. For the past 3 years, that has not happened. I agree that Akron has the best facilities by far. I agree that Jared is the only coach in the league that has taken the zips to the college cup numerous times. There is no doubt that Jared is the highest paid coach in the MAC. In one note, you wrote that Akron has an elite coaching staff. If Akron can not beat Western Michigan and Northern Illinois over the past few years, does that mean that those schools are recruiting better players than Akron? Akron is usually the only MAC team that consistently appears in the top 25 team recruiting rankings by Top Drawer Soccer. When was the last time that Akron soccer beat Western Michigan? You have to go back to the MAC tournament in 2018 to find the last time that Akron defeated Western Michigan in soccer. in the last 4 matchups against WMU, Akron is 0-2-2. O28, 2019 1-1 tie at WMU A14, 2021 0-0 tie at AK A18, 2021 4-3 loss at WMU N 14, 2021 4-3 loss at WMU When was the last time that Akron Soccer defeated Northern Illinois? You have to go back to November 2, 2019 when the Zips defeated the huskies 3-2 at Akron. In the last 3 matchups against Northern Illinois, Akron is 0-3-0 and has been outscored 8-2 by a school that does not want to upgrade their program???? why is this? better players ? better coaching.....? To trash NIU and to say that they don't prepare Akron for the NCAA...would indicate that Akron is easily defeating NIU every time they play an 8-2 gap in goals....indicates the exact opposite M14, 2020 3-0 loss at NIU A4, 2020 3-1 loss at AK O30, 2021 2-1 loss at NIU How has Akron done against BUGS in the last 5 games? Surely, Akron must have a winning record . In the last 5 games, Akron has a 2-3-0 record against BUGS. I am including the spring 2022 league game.....as there was no excuse for that sorry 1-0 loss. Idiotic passing between the back line and the GK cost the zips that game. N15, 2019 1-0 loss at Akron in MAC tournament .....very painful loss M7, 2020 2-0 win at AK A11, 2020 1-0 loss at BG O 22, 2021 5-1 win at Akron.....Akron looked like the much better team,. Alas, BG finished in the top 4 in the league. Akron did not Spring 2022 league game 1-0 loss I am a very passionate Akron zips soccer fan. If you had made your posts in 2018, I would agree 100% with your posts. The MAC teams (with the exception of WMU in the Brandon Bye years) were not NCAA quality teams and did not prepare the zips for the NCAA tourney. However, the evidence over the last 3 years says that the zips are not beating these 3 teams that do not want to upgrade their facilities or their programs. Either, those 3 teams have dramatically improved the quality of their soccer teams or Akron is not playing as well. My point......is "let's get Akron soccer back to the point where Akron is making the college cup in 3 out of 4 consecutive years." We should not be bad mouthing NIU, BUGS and WMU until the Zips are beating them consistently by 3-0 margins or 3-1 margins. I am not happy to point out the poor record against each team over the past 3 years. However, we play each of those teams twice this year. I sincerely hope that your assessment of the other 3 programs is spot on for fall 2022. I hope that the zips go 6-0 this year against those teams and have a goal differential of 16-2. Let's go, Zips.

Coach Rem had this program on an upward trajectory that was pointing to a MAC championship. I really liked him and took an interest in baseball. Then the axe came. It was not deserved and strictly political. Incompetent people do stupid things. We have been suffering for it ever since. I hope Guthrie gets a better coach in, one who wants to leave a legacy of excellence.

You are totally wrong about the AD being not interested in fixing this situation with the MAC regarding soccer. I'm sure once the MAC completely implodes there will be a landing spot for us that you will like. Believe me when I say soccer is a priority for Guthrie.

Just finished watching this YouTube interview. Wow! Coach Joe has hired some fantastic staff. I defy anyone to watch this interview and not come away thinking our program is destined for excellence. I want to do everything I can to keep Joe and his staff here for as long as possible. I can't wait for the fall. we will not win 'em all, but this team will make us proud. In Joe We Trust!

Let’s just be honest. He was a complete joke. Zero relationship with the players. All the best ones left and won elsewhere. It was cool to have a household name, but you can’t go home to Florida for months at a time and kill it in college sports. Kids today don’t have a damn clue who players from the 80s and 90s are. Go hire a college baseball coach. Not some “name”.

As long as the turf remains primarily green & we don't go full-blown Boise, EMU or EWU; I'll be complacent

I thought that was a great listen. I think he will be instrumental in the building of a "team" atmosphere and accountability of the players between themselves.

Love it. He could really be an asset for those kids.
