Chatgpt is going to leave @clarkwgriswold jobless with his game preview write-ups.

If the NCAA really cared, they would force bigger schools to pay restitution or kickbacks for poaching players. Something like 15-25% of the NIL deal paid back to the former school. Not a lot, but it's better than nothing and would provide resources to replace outgoing athletes.

Is this the real Clark, or ClarkGPT?

That's fine, all the good analytical people who could offer insight and breakdown match-ups have long been chased off. It's mainly just now loud mouth clowns who think whoever screams louder has the better argument.

And much of ESPN.

With all due respect to Milwaukee, if we can't beat them at home, our team isn't what we're hoping.

The most criminal part is - they can steal your best players with zero restitution. In any professional sport you need to pay, or make a trade to land a coveted player from another team. In college football you just take them for free. We are a free minor league for the P5 programs...must be nice.

I had to got back to August 2nd....to find this topic.... Zips have added a forward from Atlanta United ....to the class that will start in Fall 2027. This young man will turn 17 in January 2026. I like how he writes....and how appreciative that he is...for those that have helped in his development https://www.instagram.com/p/DRfq03kiQYL/?hl=en&img_index=1 In April 2024, Ivory Covington was called up to the U15YMNT https://www.instagram.com/p/C5zD7sJpmla/?hl=en At the Generation Adidas Cup in April 2024. the top drawer soccer writer was impressed by 9 players Below is what the writer had to say about the newest Zips commit https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/under-the-radar-u15-prospects-at-ga-cup_aid53237 Ivory Covington, Atlanta United – While there’s an argument that Covington’s imminent call-up to the U.S. Under-15 team makes him ineligible for this list. But his performances caught the eye for Atlanta in the 09 age group. A dynamic right winger, he presses well and can finish. His goal against Manchester United helped set the tone for Atlanta’s performance at the tournament.

I'm not surprised because he has the size, athleticism, and skill set to play at that level. He just wasn't good enough against that level of competition to carry an offense on his back. He's surrounded by more talent so can just settle into his role.

I was curious to see how Nate Johnson is doing this year and I must say it's better than I would've expected. Obviously we'll see how things go when they get into conference play, but so far he's started all 7 games and is averaging 13.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/nate-johnson/12756

This is why I don't see Joe as an actual candidate for any of the HC jobs that are open.

The biggest thing for Joe will be to triple his pay in a "well Akron was hopeless too so who cares."

Adams was great in 2022 but never the same after that.

I'm gonna sue!

Likely agree. UConn cleary has basketball as main priority. Colorado State at least has a pathway to the CFP whereas UConn really doesn't.

Congratulations to these excellent student athletes

I'll miss his 3.5 GPA.

Not that it really matters, and it was very easy to miss in real time, but there really was a hook and hold. It was only visible from one specific replay angle. It was a very savvy veteran move against a less experienced guy. Anyway, it wouldn't have made any difference, as it had nothing to do with the review or outcome of the game lol. My apologies for being persnickety.

This is an amazing resource!

Here is an awesome page showing our history in the NCAAT. Enjoy! Interestingly, our 66 total tournament games is approximately in the Top 10 of all programs. https://mcubed.net/ncaa/soccmd1/akron.shtml

My man the other team making every shot was in fact not good for us

After UVA parked the bus on us in the final in 2009 and "won" on PKs after holding it 0-0 despite having very little possession or opportunities themselves, any day they lose on PKs is a holiday to me!

So if I’m understanding this right, eight wins is the expectation next year. That essentially means going somewhere between 7-1 and 5-3 in conference play and hoping to steal one — or maybe even two — from Wake, Minnesota, and UNLV. That’s a tough ask, especially considering the schedule was about as favorable as it’ll ever be this past year. I had us pegged for 5–3 in conference against five new head coaches and winning both Wyoming and UAB. We all know how those turned out, so no need to revisit it. If eight wins is truly the expectation, then Goodrich has to find a way to get Moorhead the money he needs to retain most of our top players and expand the coaching staff. I’ve never questioned this staff’s ability to evaluate and bring in talent. An increased recruiting budget would also help, but I don’t see it as the biggest hurdle when so many of these coaches have years of experience and deep recruiting networks already built. If the expectations have been raised — which I’m all for — then the resources need to rise proportionally. If Goodrich can get this done for Moorhead, 2026 suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. I’m curious to see how it unfolds.

Me at the Thanksgiving table praying for UConn to hire JoeMo.
