No reason to even engage with the stupidity. In Arth’s first year, Kato Nelson was 1/14 for 14 yards against Ohio.

Basketball season can't get here soon enough...

Kato's ONE and ONLY big game, was again OU at Infocision. Apart from that he didn't do much. Can't wait for Groce to kick Boals and the Kittens all over the JAR.

Crew2 win 1st MLSNEXTPRO Cup 4-1.

It seems like every time there's a ray of hope that Zips defense kicks us in the nuts.

Zips go left…right…any direction but forward when they’re in the red zone or in 3rd and short. They’re making the OU defense look way better than they are.

Andre Jones was a weapon on Special Teams. A month and 1 day prior to this, he was part of the Miracle at the Zoo and one of the greatest French calls of all time. Because it's Guardians playoff day, this was also a day or 2 after the infamous Bug Game vs the Yankees in the 2007 ALDS. Go Zips & Guardians!

I did not know that to corrupt a legendary Mr. T quote....I pity da fool....that hires Larry https://www.usfca.edu/news/usf-names-new-director-athletics#:~:text=USF has hired Larry Williams,31.

Agreed. I was hoping to flirt with bowl eligibility, but realistically, it’s nearly impossible to turn over the worst roster in FBS into something that’s legitimately good. Akron is really bad, but certainly improved in some areas. And three games in a row, they’ve taken some early punches and rallied a little bit to put themselves in position in the second half. Now today of course they were blown out at one point in the second half, but if the defense had simply been bad on that final series, you’re looking at a one-score deficit going into the half and getting the ball. Much like if the punt catastrophe didn’t happen last week. Alas, they continued to move the ball with consistency, just couldn’t turn early drives into TDs or this would’ve been a close game to the end. Ifs and buts and candies and nuts or whatever. This program still has a long way to go, and there’s no arguing that. It feels great to have a coach who cares like this guy does, and it’s awfully fun to watch the offense at times. All eyes on CMU.

I honestly don't know what people expected of this season. Anyone that could look at this roster without wearing their Zips colored lens would have seen this roster was devoid of talent. Nobody was going to turn this team around in 1/2 of a recruiting cycle. 2-3 wins was all that was ever going to be achievable with this roster.

He’s officially out of Saul recruits too carry the team

Not in the win column, but yes.

Emphatically yes.

I'm glad I decided to watch the Guardians game instead. I agree with @ZippyRulz that we'd just he better off onside kicking with how bad our defense is. Hopefully we have 7-8 new defensive starters come next year

D forcing the offense to be perfect just like the offense was forcing the D to be perfect @ Liberty

Capyssssss!

TD!!! As poorly as the D has played I can’t believe we’re still in this game. 28-20 OU

Spot on. D has been just fine the last couple weeks. But huge chunk plays on a consistent basis today, with a big one right off the bat. Just not set up for success. That drive evaporated what would’ve been a ton of momentum. Damn it!!!!

Yes. The muff was one one time mental error. This defense is consistently bad.

Fixed that for you.

Hit on the QB, tight coverage, diving catch on 3rd and long. Cursed program!

Chris is scheduled to pitch Sunday for the Mets. 7:37 start time if the game is needed. The game would be on ESPN. One source had him pitching tonight, but that was not accurate.

Enjoy ladies

If the is a Mount Rushmore of garbage athletic directors, the Zips have three of the top four enshrinees in the annals of Division 1 athletics in Helsel, Wistercill and Williams. What did Zips fans ever do to deserve that tripe? It ain’t fair.

6'7" 315 lbs OL from Indianapolis. Dodge City CC currently.

Give Coach Simonetti a chance. This roster is all on Noreen. Noreen knew that she would be fired after this season....and did the Zips dirty with resigning for another job in the summer. Also, you can blame Larry Williams and George Van Horne for giving Noreen a multi year contract. Noreen should have been fired after last year's 3-15-1 but Akron could not afford to buy out her contract for the fall 2022 season. Noreen, Loser Larry and George VH......did not represent Akron Athletics in a good manner.

While the men were away, I decided to go watch the women vs. BGSU. OMG! They are absolutely, stunningly terrible! You can blame the old coach for the talent-less roster and rightly so, but the new D3 Coaching staff doesn't seem to have a clue how to play MAC soccer, which truth be told is more of a D2 level than D1. I know, give them a chance, but won't be wasting 2 and 1/2 hours on this anymore this season.

In the past, we used to have issues at BUGS because they "park the bus" which they did again packing their penalty area with defenders again last night. However, we now seem to let them dictate the style of play. Frustrating to watch us at times continue to keep the ball in the air when we had time to settle it to the ground and play our style. Harder than it looks, especially on the road, but I had hoped that we would settle in more and dictate our style of play. 3 MAC matches on the road sucks, but on to Chicago State. One at a time, please Zips. No looking ahead.

Edge Roosevelt Andrew to Miami of Ohio.

I think this is another "teaser" game, where the Zips show promise and improvement but have nothing to show for it in the win column at the end of the day. Here's hoping it is injury free and that we see a decrease in turnovers and stupid penalties. OU- 35, UA- 21.

1-0 Akron at the half. Had to defend WAY too much on BUGS' side of the pitch, but we defended well to keep a clean sheet thus far. Clapier chipped the goalie from the left size. Incredibly cheeky goal.

Worst defensive series in program history. Just horrible.
