BG being good at basketball prediction - a tale as old as time

Up 2-1 on Iona w/ 9 minutes to play 💪🤞

Friday vs. Pitt will be good measuring for Zips. Akron can ill afford to gift opportunities on our goal as we did versus Michigan. Unlike Wolverines, Panthers will convert such gifts into scores.

Like so many, I was quite dismayed when Scarborough was brought in, and I was thankful that his stay was brief (who can forget the presidential home and the $556.40 olive jar). But in retrospect, maybe UA would have been better off in the long run had those deeper cuts been made at the time - get the bleeding over with so the healing can begin? Just a thought. It may take some more time, but I believe the U can be "right-sized" eventually.

Well I'd like him better if he called it Akron U, but I'll take him anyway.

He follows me on twitter (& vice versa) & he really seems to like Akron. Don't wanna jinx it tho. He's blown up this summer & has some jaw-dropping highlights.

Pitt, Friday night's exhibition opponent, is predicted to finish 9th....in the 15 team ACC Notre Dame (opponent in the regular season opener) was selected to finish 2nd in the ACC https://theacc.com/news/2024/8/13/clemson-selected-2024-preseason-acc-mens-soccer-favorite.aspx

Last year we lost to both Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan. Why are you trying to count wins before games are played? Nothing is a guaranteed. I don't see any team in the MAC like those Buffalo teams of a few years back where they're head and shoulders better than every team. No team is too good that it makes me scared to play them. In fact, I'd prefer a 'tougher' schedule. We play enough cupcakes OOC. Why would I want to play more during conference play?

Come on.... its hard enough to make a field goal against Bowling Green or Can't..... but I like your thinking! 🙂

He’s using the “Z” logo?I want this kid in a Zips uniform soooo badly!

16 home games v 14 home last season (+ St B in Cleveland).

I am so hoping that all of my negativity the past few seasons has left my body, and I can enjoy women's soccer this season. I have been a huge critic of Coach Simonetti, but it sure looks like she's worked very hard since the end of 2023 to make this program work. She's doing the hard part, and the incoming class, at least on paper, promises to add talent in the right places. We're still in Florida, so I didn't get to see either of the exhibitions, but it sounds like they played well against Dayton and St. Bonaventure. My "goal!" is to get behind the women and not be such a pain in the butt re: Coach. She's showing she's willing to put in the time to make the squad a winning one, and that's a lot for me. Go Women's Soccer! Go Zips!

The schedule is okay for us, let's say more interested, fans. I don't think it does anything for casual fans or STHs. All in all there is solid competition. It's just a shame to not be in a good tournament or have any big names outside of St Marys, who is like the smallest "big name" there is. Nothing appealing at home. Hopefully we get Princeton next year. Some good mid major matchups, a nice opportunity @ St Marys, it's okay.

Back-to-back-to-back home games on November 22, 23, and 24.

This is how you know it's almost Akron football season

On Proenza, I love the guy. Can you imagine how awful- and totally uncompetitive-- UA would be without the Landscape for Learning investment??
