Ugly start for the lightning bolts. Seems like they cleaned it up tho. I’m rooting for the MAC in these non zips OOC games. Also rooting for the Ohio teams in other conferences like CSU, YSU and Dayton cause I like seeing local teams in March
I get it! I’m not expecting to be a national powerhouse but more local school for the surrounding suburb school recruits that can constantly be a figure in the MAC and local meet against the other Midwest teams. We shall see what the new coaches do in the future years of recruiting.
The barstool carries the university in advertising. I might sound like a burner but I know the guy who runs it and he just wants to organize something that nobody else wants to attempt too for this game
Going to make a separate chat for this because Akron has been doing very well in Track and XC the last few years. With MAC titles in indoor outdoor track and now Cross Country (In the programs first year!). Men and women have had success as well. Brand new outdoor track for the spring. I am excited to see the future of the running program in Akron. I doubt they will get Clayton Murphy to endorse us again after XC being removed the first time but I feel it should be a top goal of Guthries tenure to keep the momentum going.
Pretty awesome win for the program. First year MAC champs with some top tier runners. I'm on the Akron Running Club and we have had some runners run individually to try and run against some great competition. Love to see running get bigger in Akron. Building something fun in Akron.
I am very nervous for this game. Long trip + new lineup makes me think it will be an ugly start. We just need to make our shots and play good complimentary basketball and hope for the best. Not excited for the 9pm start time on a tuesday though
Seems like buffalos biggest strength is there offense. Which I hope gives the zips a challenge but we match up well with. If the buffalos defense loses them games then the zips need to capitalize!!
Will not be there unfortunately. Will be stat watching on the socials. Hope we get the big first Big East win. What was our last non MAC conference win in any sport?
