VCU - Home Opener - August 29
Z.I.P. replied to TennZip's topic in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer
Haven't watched, but I'm guessing that old Akron chemistry is back. And hopefully the student crowd/AKRowdies are at least partly responsible. -

Around the country on Thursday night and Friday. Pitt beats Georgetown in D.C. Bowling Green playing DePaul 0-0 second half. https://www.ncaa.com/news/soccer-men/article/2022-08-25/everything-happened-di-mens-college-soccers-opening-night?amp -

The Altman, Ohio town fathers should take up a collection for the Andy Alleman statue. Can place in front of the Odd Fellows hall. -
Five shots and an assist from Gyuwon Chong. 🤔 Who?? 😃

Basketball practice facility (and more) coming
Z.I.P. replied to jupitertoo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Slightly off-subject, but since the pic is of the VB team. Doesn't the program have a Teraflex surface floor for games and practices? These are the small things that could help propel a program upward. I remember when my nephew's wife, who was a JC All-America was considering Akron in part because of facilities and equipment. All the top NCAA vb programs use Teraflex. Protects against both acute and chronic injuries and allows players to play more aggressively. MAC teams -- some of them, hopefully use the surface. I'm sure Ball State men's program has it. -

MIP in the Windy City? https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/6/22/23178411/high-school-basketball-darrion-baker-macleab-rich-niko-abusara-drew-scharnowski-jordan-pickett -
So who IS going to be our goalkeeper this season? 🤔

Major correction. We have our PG. She was Bulls' starter last season. Appears to be her third transfer, as she spent a year at Troy and one at a JC. Must have two remaining. Still a good addition to the backcourt. https://ubbulls.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/dominique--camp/5905

Decommitted from Buffalo following Felicia's move to Cuse. Commits to coach Jackson & @ZipsWBB.

6 game suspension per Miss Sue L. Can be appealed by NFL. -
I noticed that Aodhan's dad Brian Quinn has been head coach at the U of San Diego since 2018. Interesting possible scheduling matchup.

Zips have become famous for central mids over the past 15 yrs. And I love the name...Caleb Borneo! If he has red hair call him #Orangutan. If not, get some dye! 😂

Guess who weighs in on the Realignment Wars? A FCS Commish and Old Friend of ours. I wasn't aware this is his third conference at the helm! https://www.playia.com/wistrcill-conference-realignment-big-ten-big-12/

Women's soccer needs a new head coach
Z.I.P. replied to TennZip's topic in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer
Sorry if I'm Debbie Downer, but this is another 2 or 3 year interim hire. Not sure what the WSoc salary is, but it's clear to me that outstanding candidates would not be interested in this job! Why not? -
European (i.e. UEFA) football indeed. Like include promotion/relegation in the CFB Super Liga. 😂

What is your realistic definition of a successful 2022 Season?
Z.I.P. replied to GoZips86's topic in Akron Zips Football
Be competitive! Don't get blown out by the top MAC dogs/no 30+ pt spreads in conference. And keep Tennessee and Sparty under the 50 mark while putting up some points, like at least couple TDs against each. Beat the bottom dwellers. Gotta play well vs Bee Gee and Ohio and beat an iffy EMU team at home. Perhaps most importantly, create SOME kind of interest in college football again on campus and in the community. I don't see more than four wins -- which would be progress -- but gotta bring back those casual fans lost by dreary football under the Mistake from JCU. And PLEASE stop playing those games with kick-off at 6 a.m. or earlier in Hawaii Standard Time. Yes, that would be welcome progress! 😊 -
Women's soccer needs a new head coach

That would be Guthrie's biggest and best move if he could pull it off! His father, Randy Waldrum is kind of a legend in WSoc coaching at Notre Dame and in the NWSL for Houston Dash as well as internationally for T&T and now Nigeria. Chances are Ben could sub in for dad in Pitt or get another high major job before long. I know in the past UA ADs (Wistercil specifically) have interviewed Big10 and SEC assistants but not found the "right fit". I think anybody with that level of experience we could grab would be amazing. Beats D-2 coaches. 😥 -
Everywhere except anywhere near Akron. Or anywhere else in the MAC! As always.
