It probably could have been salvaged if taken over by a real university.

UA’s EXL Center going strong http://www.ohio.com/news/local/ua-s-exl-center-going-strong-1.709549

Right, those were down years for us too but we still scared 'em good. We haven't really had an up year since 2005 when we won the MAC. Last year we won our first bowl game but didn't beat anyone with a winning record and got wrecked by our division champ. A B10 win would be almost as huge for us as the SEC win was for you. Go Zips!

IN OUR LAST MEETING No. 25 UCLA def. No. 6 Akron, 4-2 (Nov. 1, 2015) AKRON, Ohio - In a battle of two of the more storied men's soccer programs in the country, a pair of second-half goals lifted No. 25 UCLA to a 4-2 victory over sixth-ranked Akron at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.

Jake Fenlason made one save for the Zips, while Pepe Barroso Silva corralled two stops for UCLA. Trailing 2-1 early in the second half, Goncalo Soares (Lisbon, Portugal) netted the equalizer at the 53:14 mark to square Akron and UCLA at two. Stuart Holthusen (Auckland, New Zealand) beautifully played ball in ball from the corner of the box that Soares curled into the corner of the net from the top corner of the box for his first career goal. Najem narrowly missed giving the Zips their first lead of the evening in the 75th minute (74:13) as his strike the box struck the crossbar. The Bruins immediately stole the momentum off of the miss as Abu Danladi pushed the ball up the field to Adekoya, who scored his second goal of the game, for what proved to be the game-winning tally, at the 74:27 mark. The Zips were whistled for a foul in the box in the 82nd minute (81:08) that resulted in a successfully penalty kick for Jose Hernandez to give UCLA the final 4-2 margin. Adekoya opened the scoring in the affair converting a defensive turnover into his 10th goal of the year at the 7:14 mark off an assist from Danladi. Najem evened the game at one in the 29th minute (28:12). Niko De Vera (Camas, Wash.) played the ball up the sideline to Holthusen in the center of the field, who slide a long pass into a streaking Najem. The Bruins took a 2-1 lead into the intermission on the strength of a 30th minute (29:58) goal from Hernandez.

The poll under/over numbers turned out to be very well chosen.

The ESPN announcers were calling out the Zips defensive coaching for not using a zone scheme to take away their big plays to the outside.

Marshall had a bye in Week 1 and plays Morgan State this Saturday. So we will be their first FBS opponent and will have an extra game under our belt which will hopefully be to our advantage.

And the Soap Box Derby officials are now complaining about the RB.

That should have been an illegal use of the hands penalty

Equipment malfunction? How many QBs wear a glove and neoprene sleeve on their throwing arm?!

They should have moved that game to Infocision. Actually it's pretty ridiculous they didn't.

How was the live music?

For those that were there, how good did the Keydets really look? We haven't given them much credit but it sounds like they were no slouch.

Then I wish they would have willed to have more than a 2 point cushion after 3 quarters, even if it meant exposing some playbook. That's cutting it a little close. And you can't score at will with that amount of penalties. Let's hope Wisconsin will be hung over and flat.

Zipgrad01 could probably help you out

Coaches need to learn what a penalty is...

Run the freakin ball on 1st down on the 13.

136 yards in penalties, still in the 3rd quarter.

Can we not run more than 31 yards in a half against these guys? Are we afraid to let TW4 run it?

Shout out to our military, active and vets !

Or a Kent student..

I would love to make a proposition bet with Mr. Flood regarding the Zips point production in this game.

Well, ASU won't be ranked. They are obviously good but beatable in Akron. I predict a barn-burner.
