Impressive start to the season for MAC teams. The home courts were definitely defended.

Incredible second half! Great game for Joe Akron to watch.

And yet there team work/chemistry does not at all seem to be an issue. The post-NIL skillset that is most important for a coach arguably entails being able to bring a completely new roster into a cohesive team in a matter of months. I already miss the days of four-year players.

Whoever's wife said size doesn't matter was lying.

Can we get this defense all season, please?!

I came here to say the exact thing, but "at Akron" was ambiguous because it was not mentioned in the context of the university or when he was in college, so it just as easily could have been understood as the Akron Aeros. Also, I wouldn't say it was a bad outing. He allowed one run and had a walk and two hits. In the greater context, he was bound to have an appearance that was similar to that. It could have been MUCH worse given that the bases were loaded. It's a shame though that the Blue Jays lost, especially in the manner that they did. In the 9th I thought we were going to possibly have our first Zips World Series Champion.

I would have preferred to have just beaten UConn.

I would amend this to say that recruiting rankings only exist to stimulate interest in the off season and to suck a few more dollars out of the few fans who live and die with college football and have lesser or no interest in college basketball or professional spring and summer sports.

And programs that are not traditional powers but have managed to do some building despite NIL, such as Indiana, will be more short-lived now more than ever, unless they have a Phil Knight on speed dial to retain talent and team chemistry.

Brian Kelly of LSU was added to the bin of discarded Power 4 coaches. It's astounding how short-sighted and toxic these unreasonable demands of proven, quality coaches from administrators and powerful alumni are. LSU lost to an undefeated #3 team in the country and are/were in the Top 25 themselves, yet he gets canned mid-season. There is no such thing as program building anymore. Thanks, NIL.

Meanwhile, UAB beats #22 Memphis. Smh!

But not on fourth down. (Rolls eyes.)

That should do it.

Already regretting I turned this back on with a shred of optimism.

The heavy rain should be arriving shortly after this injury timeout.

Cant being Cant.

I'm listening to it from Baltimore on IHeart Radio but have heard all commercials for the Akron area. Are you in Columbus?

It's more enjoyable to listen to. I multi-task, so when we are playing like crap like this, it's just white noise in the background. Lots of house projects and chores have gotten done at my place under these conditions over the years.

Heavy rain in the second half could really force changes in offensive strategy. I don't know who that favors, if anyone, but it will be interesting to see how the coaches respond (or not).

What an ironic tragedy that would be for our university if it were eliminated!

This tie feels like a loss, especially after the baseless VAR reversal to a tying goal for Seton Hill. Again, we have more shots, shots on goal, and corners but do not get the W. Very frustrating. Hopefully the team forgets it and moves on. If we win out and at least get to the Big East final, we should have a top 16 seed and a first round bye for the NCAAT. At Creighton is gonna be a tough match.

I'll take the visitors by a score of 31-28. When was the last time we won a road game that wasn't at Cant or UMess?

A scary win!

And just like that, in the lead at 2-1 after another ten minutes.

Wow, down 1-0 after dominating the first 15 minutes. That hurts. DePaul can sit in and defend.
