5-2 with 10 minutes left

4-2 with 22 to go in 2nd

Akron goal with 3 seconds left in 1st. 3-1 at half

Akron goes up 2-1 at the 17th minute

Wright State scored within 2 minutes, Zips down 0-1. Wearing a new kit today. Gold with white sleeves. No numbers. Mevis didn't start. Akron just tied it at the 5 minute mark

Removing the AQ status sorta makes the BCS conference status irrelevant.

goal by Sinisa Ubiparipovic!!! 2nd of the year. http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2012-...?videoID=183682

ESPN has been covering this a lot lately. Plan would link sites, conferences This is very good news for the MAC and Akron.

Michael Nanchoff declared fit to play today, could get minutes in front of his 500+ supporters in Columbus http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/04/wh...g-columbus-crew

The weather is going to be crap for this game.

Teddy Bowden's magic is at work.

Akron Zips Football 2,135 likes (UA does not maintain, just an interest topic) Akron Zips Soccer 3,969 likes (I believe UA maintains it) the rest don't have many likes and are probably not maintained by the University. The one everyone should like is this Ohio State Suckeyes have 1,189,692 likes

Based on reported. How it's reported is up to the UA. The free events should be based on butts in seats considering no tickets are sold for those events.

Zips soccer has had decent attendance numbers over the past 4-5 years. I remember going to soccer games in 2005-2006 where I thought the attendance was good (1000's). Possible negative impact The Beacon Journal has started to neglect Akron soccer lately. George Thomas runs the Zips Blog now and I believe he's your typical baby boomer soccer hater. The past few spring games weren't mentioned in the paper, even the game against Cleveland State. But this has nothing to do with football's success. Parking conflicts could arise from home football and soccer games being played on the same day. We tailgate in Lot 9 for soccer games which is also used for football tailgating. If attendance increases for football games, it's going to be harder for us soccer tailgaters to park together. Here's the only data I've found regarding Zips revenue and expenses. The data is very old, dates back to the Rubber Bowl days If I could find current data, I'd love to analyze it.

regular season attendance numbers for Zips Athletics. Zips Football Attendance: Zips Men's Soccer Attendance: Zips Woman's Soccer Attendance: Zips Basketball and Other Sports Attendance:

"soccer is poised and positioned to potentially overtake baseball in popularity in this country in the future" Couldn't agree more.

Xavier had a record crowd of 1,213 for the game. http://www.goxavier.com/sports/m-soccer/re.../042212aaa.html

So far, the NBC deal with the MLS is working out well MLS on NBC Sports Doing Good, Not Historic, TV Ratings Thus Far Averaging 106k per game, beating Fox Soccer's coverage by 55%. A 100k average is their goal for the year. If the MLS continues to do well on NBC Sports, maybe they'll consider showing college soccer games? It sucks to watch the NCAA tournament only through a university provided stream.

The high school kids that don't know how to use google or bing should go to Can't State.

Using scout or rivals would be going backwards. Anyone with a brain knows how to use google. If you google Akron Zips, zipsnation is usually top 3. I think it looks worse when schools don't have an independent site and are forced to use rivals or scout.
