  1. FYI the match in Columbus on Wed. Sept.15th will be on Big Ten Network at 7pm.
  2. They should've asked Dyson Clapier if he knew Caleb Porter since they both have Akron/Portland connections.
  3. 1. Never too early to get excited! Wow was that a dominant performance. 2. I had to get both subscriptions, so the answer is unfortunately no.
  4. There are no secrets around the MAC. Zips have had trouble with the high press since the get go and now every opponent is using it to keep the offense bottled up in their own end. BG played with confidence and with that unrelenting wind favoring them in the first half they dominated. Yet they couldn't score. Second half I expected the Zips to use that wind too, but it was BG who played like their hair was on fire. Our goalie was the only Zip who matched their intensity and he deserved better. Pacheco certainly could have made some kind of difference but good teams rise to the occasion. Today that didn't happen.
  5. Feels strange and totally homerish to say this considering the 6-1 aggregate, but I still see Akron as the better side. First game up there was a weather s--t show that screamed "fluke!". The Northern defense had a #19 playing today (as in Covid) . I think we had 3 or more starters out and a few more way below normal match fitness. Now that being said, it is what it is and Zips are 0-2 against them. Just have to suck it up and finish strong and see what transpires.
  6. Thanks. Never played, but my son did from youth all the way through freshman year at Walsh Univ. Now I spend my summers in Seattle so became a fan of the rave green. Looking forward to having fans back at Lumen Field (formerly Safeco) in June. But will definitely follow the Zips on E+ once they get past this Covid thing.
  7. Does anyone have info on the three recruits Jackson signed this year re: how they did as seniors? That would be Abby Carter from Eastlake North, Regan Bass from Strongsville, and Zakia Rasheed (don't have h.s.). I guess PT will be tough with the extra year for seniors.
  8. It figures. I got ESPN+ because they were going to televise 4 or5 straight games. Looks like a bad investment. BTW, 1st time poster here class of '71.
