Early Football Previews and Predictions: Game One vs Wyoming
MangoZip replied to catdaddyp's topic in Akron Zips Football
As much as they want? You must be really impressed with this Wyoming team? -
It’s the annual bible of college football information. It lists every team’s depth chart, stats, and other info. I’d post a screenshot but the type is so small and packed with info that it would be hard to read. You can buy it online or some bookstores carry it.

Wow, surprised that the Zips are that big of an underdog at home against a team that was 3-9 last year. Not saying it should be an easy win, but that seems like alot of points.
-
Interesting…Phil Steele lists the Zips as a bowl team, or bowl caliber team, in this article about the MAC. https://philsteele.com/2025-mac-hits-and-misses/ What I also find interesting is that it seems almost every MAC team has announced which of their players were mentioned as Phil Steele pre season All MAC honorees but I see nothing posted from Akron. Did I miss it or are they asleep at the wheel??

2025 Akron Zips Football: "Our goal is_______."
MangoZip replied to egregiousbob's topic in Akron Zips Football
Win 6 to become bowl eligible which will create a national “Free Akron” campaign that will shine the light on the ridiculous irony in the NCAA rules. -
This rule seems like it would hit Akron pretty hard. Being a lower tier D1 (and MAC) school it seems like several players in the last couple years have hit the portal and/or flunked out and never reappeared on another roster. I’d guess that this is fairly typical when dealing with so many Juco kids. They overestimated their value and ended up working at Wal Mart - and bringing down Akron’s APR in the process.
-
This program is far from perfect but you can find students/ex students at every school in the country that has this same take. Very predictable
-
Serious question: does this actually put Joe’s job in jeopardy before this season?
-
Define “holds up”. Is there a way out of this? This would be so Akron to finally be bowl eligible and not get to go.
-
Too many juco players and players that are on their last chance
-
Zips hitting the specialists hard the last week. Offers to long snapper and a punter.

Saturday April 12th Practice/Scrimmage
MangoZip replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Football
Also heard Norton is academically ineligible, cannot play anywhere this upcoming season -
“his meritless termination” 😂 you had me at 1-23 record! Ahhhh lawyers!

“DT: This position probably concerns me the most on the defensive side right now. Moore surprisingly moved on to Bowling Green, and Kapongo is out of eligibility, so we’re thin.” Thanks for the great/only info we see Catdaddy! I saw that Marcus Moore is already back in the portal at BG

It would be great to bring that back. It’s call fan involvement. Just like if they did any brief coaches or player interviews after practices and/or games. Create some interest. When fans get to know, or learn something about the players and coaches they are more likely to have a connection with the program and get involved. This leads to interest, ticket sales, merchandise buying etc etc. I’m continually amazed why this isn’t done. Give an intern an iPhone and take 15 minutes before or after practice then post on social media - it’s really not that hard!
-
Looks like a Blue/White game? I think last year they just called it a practice also but it was mostly live action in game type situation but they didn’t keep score
-
No, the are horrible…and effort and shot selection is bad too

These announcers suck!
