I can see Ohio and Miami being losses, and potentially CMU with it being on the road. With that said, PCCC and Buffalo are not as good as Akron overall and we should win those. Additionally, NIU seems to made no improvements from last year, and we seem to be Bowling Green's boogey team for their coach Scott Loeffler. BG got drilled by Ohio, and with my dad being a BGSU alum, he's not very confident for the team. EMU could go either way, depends on which Akron team shows up. Overall I think at least 4-4. Buffalo, Kent, BG, NIU I see us winning. CMU and EMU are toss ups, OU and Miami are likely losses. If we can snag a bowl game this year, that would be a severe morale boost from the nightmares we've seen the past few seasons.

I simply do not see Akron losing this game. (Bite my tongue, I should know better) Buffalo is bad, REALLY bad. I had higher expectations for them to be at least a 4-8/5-7 caliber team (much like us and the school in Portage Co.) However, they will be lucky to pull off 3 wins this year on second thought. Kentucky game was a poor showing, and Temple and Indiana showed us again Akron is competitive, but has a tough time closing games. I think head to head, every team we've played so far is confidently better than Buffalo. INCLUDING Morgan State. I say 27-17 Zips.

Seconded. Most pitiful effort I’ve seen in a while. Couldn’t even score against a team that gave up 70 to WMU, 60 to CMU, 50 to NIU? If we lost 38-0 to Notre Dame, sure I get it. But we looked absolutely lost against the worst team possible.

Just saw this haha, I was wondering what PCCC meant! Thanks for the greetings everyone! GO ZIPS

Absolutely not, I just found it amusing the Beacon Journal would mention a high school coach when BGSU is still digging themselves out of a grave with what they did haha.

Bowling Green hired a high school coach Mike Jinks. They went from best to worst in the MAC in literally a season

That’s a start. You have to build the culture up at some point. I have to admit, Sean Lewis is doing that decently at Kent State. I could see him moving on to a P5 school here shortly.

Might’ve already been said before, but I think we let Arth go too quickly. Let’s look at the variables in place. First year - 0 wins Second year - 1 win Third year - 2 so far, probably could be around 3 maybe 4 Do we have the money to buyout a coach and look for someone else like this? Genuine question. Most Akron fans, let’s be honest, know not to get our hopes up for football every year. I think if Arth would’ve gotten 3-4 wins the next couple years, then yes, maybe look for a new coach. I get the move though, I’m happy about it in a sense that the Univ. feels we need to obviously do better. As far as head coaches go, I think Saban still has family in Ohio

Yeah, that was the biggest takeaway from MTSU and WKU joining MAC. The good - we can now find a way to get into the big dance in hoops without depending on winning the tournament with 14 teams now, and those two programs are solid. The bad - No men’s soccer, either of them. MAC has to start prioritizing it, as men’s soccer is probably the only shot of bringing home natty’s for the conference.

Hey everyone! New member here… I’m glad I found this forum, I’m a UA alum 2021, and back the Zips first and foremost. I actually played club lacrosse here as well. Go Zips!
