So the Big10 Network announcers are basically an extension of the SIDfor the home team. At least name the Akron punter for cripes sake...

To what? C’mon first game.... what else you got to do?

Agreed....I was hoping the first Illinois drive might settle our D, but....

Not a bad drive, like the O spread. Give Kato protection and we’ll do well.

She says “Van Edwards accounted for about 588 yards...”!

I know... I mean who is Illinois playing?

Colin is one of the most dedicated players I've seen around the Akron pitch in the past 5 seasons, and that's tough to say. Not many thought he would get the minutes, let alone the starts, that he got early in 2018, but he earned everything he's gotten. I agree with the Grand Buff on this one!!!

My entire vote is based on nothing - just guessing like NWA, no logic to it.....also just knocking off the rust!

Or maybe there's a hole out there he could fill at another team....

Just wanted to throw in something here...We are all excited for UGIII and am so very proud of him, and wish him the best going forward. When Coach Arth took over and brought in his coaching staff, one coach I really had hoped they kept was John Nemec, Player Personnel Coach. I understand why Coach Arth changed personnel, no beef here, but here's a little known fact. Ulysses ran into some housing issues when he went over for the Optional workouts, and Coach Nemec didn't hesitate to help this young man out, He got his family and their in-laws involved and made sure Ulysses was able to stay with some of John's family until he could get permanent residence, and his family "adopted" Ulysses as if he had known them forever. And Ulysses in turn made a high quality impact on the kids involved. Both John and UGIII are class acts, and it probably helped Gilbert emotionally and mentally to not have to deal with all the rig-a-ma-roll of finding housing during camps. But UGIII is doing the rest.

Yeah, but then the stinking defense gave it all away in stoppage time....no fault of the Skipper, however. Nor the manager. They are just not a good time right now. I fear for Caleb's job, but hope the new ownership and Bezbo being there will buy him another year. But, I mean, I threw a tuna fish sandwich at the TV again last night when Jozie scored....gotta stop that...

nice job Cap'n and Doc!

Chris Bassitt - 7 shutout innings, 2nd straight shutout ball.....plus, he's on my fantasy BBall team!

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with NW, as I've stated earlier in the threads. Pluto used to be one of my favorites, but he has become unreadable to me, especially on the Browns, and although I truly respect the man, I stopped reading his stuff about a year and a half ago. Too bad, because there's not much alternative. I know some here really like Marla, but she's an opportunist as far as writing goes...gets the cushy stories when they "feel good", not much about the lesser area teams if she can't champion something.

I'm sure you have seen the post on GoZips.com, but Paulina Nogaj is competing at the World Swimming Championships in Korea this weekend for Poland. She is a great kid and obviously a great swimmer. Drove up to Cleveland State yesterday and saw Brook Lamoureaux, Andrea Fischer, Jackie Pash, Ellie Nebraska, Morgan Waggoner, Ally Whaton and Sarah Watson compete at the USA Swimming Speedos, competing for Firestone Akron Swim Team (or FAST!)...lots of hard work put in this off-season, it seems like. USA Swimming Futures meet is at SPIRE next weekend, don't know if we'll have any entries, but good to see the 6-time MAC Champs spending time in the pool. Also, lots of swimmers we see in the MAC from BG, Eastern, Toledo, Ohio, and a few from Miami.

I don't read the ABJ/Ohio.com articles because I'm too cheap to pay for the articles once I hit my 6 or 8 bull...limit they set, so I don't know if this was mentioned in Michael's article, but in talking to some of the North Royalton coaches, they think he might also be going to U of A because of...baseball!

I mean, we bring SO MANY college age students in anyways......

And where on this link does it say when camp starts? Do you know a guy on the staff who we have to contact??? ?

Damn! Okay AyYo, Hilltopper brought this to my attention.....I guess I was wrong wrong wrong...things might not be as bad as I expected. But the real news is I owe you one - Literally! We'll have to arrange a pay-off once the season gets underway....okay? I'll pm you.....

This is awesome...5 and 3, 72 Ks...way to go Chris, hope someday we might have enough “Chrises” to have a Zips in the Pros thread for baseball. Proud of this Zip. ⚾?

Track officials who have worked meets for the U are being told there will be an indoor track season, culminating in the Zips hosting the MAC Indoor Championships, but there will be no outdoor meets n 2020, which means no money spent to refurbish the track for the near future, if at all. Also, several individuals interviewing for a supposed empty slot in the coaching ranks, most likely distance, which means we may have lost our first assistant coach due to the track situation. But hey, Women's Lacrosse......

Sorry K-Roo, it must be an old copy, because the Zips and Buffalo do not participate in baseball now, although Akron is back in 2020, and Eastern Michigan does not participate in softball. Also, there are not a majority of core MAC institutions that compete in men's soccer, there are only 4 - NIU, BGSU, Western and Akron....

Why don't we get Marshall to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-join the MAC!? ? (nice new emojis Dr. Z)

There are no reports about dropping down, and Green never suggested that in his comments. What you read was That was Lee's and others suggestions over the years. It would be a huge move, as you suggest, but if it does happen, there will be a LOT of conversation about it beforehand. LeeAdams has made thoughtful discussion points on this in the past. And as he says in his post No more MAC and a coaches exodus. Even though MSOC and even WS&D would probably be able to continue their excellence, the others would become at best competitors in their new lower level leagues. Heck, you're about to watch two nationally ranked teams (mens and womens track and field) begin their slouch to mediocrity here at The U, why not bring down the others.....
