Creighton might be big mad tomorrow but if we play Zips soccer it shouldn't matter. Go Zips!

74 degrees and rainy is the current forecast.

Especially considering our 2nd and 3rd goals were deflections off their defenders... you don't always need a wide open look.

It seems like Freddy-4 got victimized on both of their goals.

WMU ranked #32 by votes in the new AP poll.

Zips favored by 27.5

OU getting pushed around by Nebraska in the 2nd half. Miami getting pushed around at Pitt.

I simultaneously like and dislike playing Toledo 😄 We don't have to worry about them (nor BG) this year.

It will be a mid-November Wednesday Maction game in Amherst, maybe with someone's bowl hopes on the line.

We need to beat EMU at home. They lost to San Jose last night on the gray grass.

It certainly is.

umass 21-7 leading Rutgers

sun won't be too much of a factor since it's an evening game. it will be getting dark by the 2nd quarter..

Is there any way we can do/have/get it? Thx

Gemini agrees on the low scoring part but JoeMo hasn't been good against Power 4 'high' point spreads... Betting Trends Against the Spread (ATS) History: Under head coach Joe Moorhead, Akron is 0–9 ATS as an underdog of 23+ points against Power 4 programs. Conversely, Wake Forest has proven strong as a heavy favorite, going 14–6 ATS when favored by double digits since 2019. The "Under" Trend: The Under is 4–0 in Akron’s last four games as a road underdog. Additionally, when Akron faces massive point spreads (20+ point underdogs), their games lean heavily toward low scoring—they averaged just 6.0 points per game in those matchups over the last two seasons. Line Movement: Wake Forest opened as a 22.5 to 23.5-point favorite and was pushed up to -24.5 as money poured in on the Demon Deacons. The total ticked down slightly from an opening 49.5 down to 48.5. Predictions & Expert Consensus Score Prediction: Wake Forest 42, Akron 13 (or a similar ~28–31 point margin victory for Wake Forest). Best Bet / Best Value: Under 48.5 Points. Analysts point to Wake Forest returning 9 starters on defense, likely controlling the line of scrimmage against an Akron offense that suffered heavy transfer portal losses. Blowout non-conference games like this often feature a running clock in the second half, limiting overall scoring output. Spread Pick: Wake Forest -24.5. With Wake Forest expected to dominate the trenches, oddsmakers project a ~55% chance they cover the 24.5-point margin.

I spoke too soon.. the line is down to 23.5

I recently got to visit both UC and Xavier campuses on a little road trip to Cinci. Catholic is not my jam but X seems like a really nice school with a nice suburban-style campus. The soccer stadium is on the edge of campus across a perimeter road along with the baseball field. It seems nice but makes me appreciate that our soccer stadium is basically right on campus. On the other hand, their basketball arena (Cintas Center) is right on campus. Unfortunately it was locked up so I couldn't go inside for a peek - it would be fun to see the Zips play there. Speaking of right on campus, that describes UC's football stadium. It's not even fenced so you could go right on the field any time if you wanted to. When I was there, a few students were sitting in the lower stands reading or visiting and a couple were running the stairs. UC is a much more urban campus feel. I went into the bookstore which had a huge clothing/gear area.

Oh. Bummer.

It's funny how the line hasn't budged at all since it came out. That would seem to be the clearest indicator that someone knows something.

Tough loss at Duquesne on Thurs.

Did we ever find out?

I guess we'll know more about our matchup with UNLV after Thursday. In any case, it will be a tall task to knock them off even at home.

It will be a lot of fun if we can score on our first drive 😄

playing at allegiant stadium on the strip and they said the lower bowl is full so good mwc crowd.
