ATTENDANCE: 5,216 I remember saying earlier in the season that the soccer team could beat the football team in attendance, there's the magic number.

You're not going to win a lot of ball games with only 51 points. Our guards can't make free throws, how do we expect them to make 3's?

The zone wasn't the problem today. It was the guards on the offensive end. They looked slow and sloppy.

it's a good thing we're in the MAC, this team is not NCAA tournament material

the camera guy is a creeper lol

I like the video response to this http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5846737

does Can't State have a boards we can post on? I say we disguise ourselves as Can't fans on there and talk about wanting to steal iCan't from Akron.

how much? I am thinking about taking my 5yr old to another game this year.

horrible joke.

Maybe TW, but would cost too much to fire RI, whether he ruins the program or not. We have to accept that.

Recruiting a good quarterback has to be priority number one for RI, Nicely just doesn't cut it!!!

pass coverage is soooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!!!!!!

not sure if this has been posted already but for anyone just looking at this, just found the game on http://channelsurfing.net

Alexa rankings aren't bad for Zipsnation. I've noticed it drop a lot from August.

same, it comes on now and then, annoying.

the link http://www.horizonleaguenetwork.tv/live/1271 was listening to the football game until you mentioned this. Could care less what the football team does at this point.

Similar one from the NCAA web site. Highlights the Zips in a few places: Linke currently holds a variety of jobs, but his current one with Fox Soccer Channel brings him to different college locations all over the country to broadcast some of the best games in Men's college soccer. A little over a month ago, Linke and broadcast partner Keith Tabatznik traveled to Ohio to see Tulsa face Akron for a match of the top two schools in the country. "It was electric," Linke said, "1,500 people were there an hour before the game." The Zips won 4-0, and from start to finish, the crowd was always involved. Linke saw fans of all ages, including grandparents, jumping, shouting, and cheering for the Zips, but regardless of location, it has been the same story everywhere. The partnership has brought television cameras to some of the best soccer schools in the country like Akron, Maryland, UCSB, and UConn. These four schools also make up the top four teams in the country in terms of attendance. Both links are great finds. Another example of US soccer popularity growing. I look forward to seeing Akron averaging over 4k per game.

Your statement is the dumbest thing I've heard. If you look at soccer's popularity over the past 10 years, you would see strong growth. The thing to look at here is that MLS is growing, whether it's bigger than NHL, or the NBA. Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and makes more money than the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB combined

By that logic, those who predicted Ianello would fail before he coached his first game also don't want to be proven wrong and do want the guy to fail. They will rip on him whatever way they can. Then there are those who never took a hard pro or con position, but only hoped that Ianello would become a good head coach and turn the Zips around from their downward spiral of the last few years if given a fair opportunity to do so. Reasonable people can disagree on how much time a new head coach should be given to stop a losing team's slide. But most reasonable people will agree that one year or less is not adequate. Whether the Ianello lovers or the Ianello haters eventually prove to be correct in their assessment of his ability to succeed, the most important thing is for the Zips to start winning, whether under Ianello or whoever might ultimately replace him. Who really cares who "wins" a stupid sports forum debate? Is there anyone here that seriously thought Ianello would be a good coach here? Ianello would go 0-12 coaching at Mount Union

This is only the first year. Those results might be different if the football team wasn't so bad. I like the program a lot.

UA Soccer is exactly what this area needs. With the MLS growing and no MLS teams in the area, UA is the next best thing. I know there are a lot of old school minded people that continue to think Soccer in the US is not popular, but that isn't the truth anymore. 99.2 Million US TV Viewers Have Watched Some Of The World Cup and attendance is up in the MLS: NFL - 67,508.69 (2009 season) MLB - 30,213.37 (2009 season) MLS - 18,452.14 (2010 season, as of 04/11/2010) NBA - 17,149.61 (2009/10 season) NHL - 16,985.31 (2009/10 season) I haven't bothered looking up 2010 results, but I'd be willing to bet that MLB is below the 30k's for 2010. The Indians average less than the Columbus Crew. Could U.S. Soccer Eclipse Basketball And Hockey? $200M Adidas Pact a sign that MLS is the next major sport in the US With soccer growing and our Zips dominating the college scene, Lee Jackson Field is going to need that expansion soon!!!

iCoach is a total failure and has no clue as a head coach. He's pushing a scheme on a team that's not suitable for it. He's got talent but doesn't know how to use it.

Just to get an insight how the fans feel. Rob Ianello is getting paid $375,000 a year for an 0-8 product. Season ticket holders were ripped off on their ticket purchases after the university dropped prices. The Lot 9 parking fiasco and $10 charge to park in a tailgating lot. Feel free to add to the list.
