Nearly 40ppg from Oriol and Staveskie alone is a staggering difference from previous years, not to mention their size upgrades from sub 6' guards. Pence is a ~10-12ppg minimum type of player, Mahaffey will give you 8-10, Burton could be sneaky if they unlock his outside shot (dare I say 8-10ppg?), and I expect most of the bench to be in the 8-10 range as well. There's a chance we average 100+ ppg as a team (I'm kidding - sorta).

That would be best case scenario IMO. As the roster is currently constructed, unless the freshman are studs, they will get very little playing time at best.

Oriol is in addition to Evan so there has to be some path for Evan to be eligible. I still am curious where Oriol's roster spot is coming from. As it currently stands, Akron has the best roster in the MAC.

Our first team was very competitive with their second team.

Props to Embick and his staff on creating a tough schedule. #2 SOS so far that doesn't include WVU because of the no contest. Akron soccer is a gold standard in men's soccer - they deserve so much more support than what they get.

Which is why I will still root for Michigan vs. Ohio State - the Suckeyes fan base is a miserable one and it's hilarious to see them deal with failure.

Bingo. The game winner was actually going wide by the looks of it, hit the inner right calf of the defender, and viola - GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Cornell's goalie was simply unlucky. Guessed the right way on a PK that was just buried upper 90 where he couldn't get it and then it's hard to defend against deflections.

That's a season-defining win. Go down early, equalize right before halftime, take another shot to the nads shortly after to trail again, then equalize again quickly, weather their late storm, then find the back of the net for a sub-1 minute remaining goal. Heck of a win. Cornell monkey is off our backs.

THANK YOU ZIPS FOR LISTENING

MORANA!

Heck of a PK.

What a save by Kaminsky. Wow.

Hell yeah! See what happens when you shoot?!

That didn't last long. Cornell shoots and good things happen. Nice move by the Big Red player to get around the defender.

Shoot. The. F'ing. Ball.

Great shout. NEVER let people forget that Miami OH's fluke season was as fraudulent as they come.

That's the statement - or at least tone - that should've been set Saturday night/Sunday morning. Steinbrecher pretty much agreeing with the Big Ten out of the gate was weak & pathetic, but changing tune now that the court of public opinion is against their initial statement makes them look wishy washy at best without getting into any of the probable smokey back room deals that Steinbrecher has made with the Big Ten. If you're going to be a corrupt suit, at least have the cajones to own said corruption. He is by far the WORST commissioner in college athletics and nobody should let him evade that title just because he's "fighting" this now.

Pathetic.

Take care of business tonight & Saturday and get right back into the top 10. Absurd that we dropped out in the first place.

Not to mention both have been a thorn in the side of the Big Ten elite since joining.

The NCAA has ruled only Zippy cookies in the oven by 11:43:02pm EST on 9/11 can make an appearance, limiting the overall selection. To be determined if the 12th Circuit Court of Appeals in Alaska will have an appeal in time. (This is pretty much college athletics in a nutshell - crazy)

Shockingly, officiating potentially cost us that game as well with the PI in the end zone not called against Michigan in the final seconds. Michigan vs. Oberlin in 1892 has been a precursor for all these controversial results ending in Michigan victories. It was agreed upon prior to the game that 4:50pm would be the official end so Oberlin could catch their train home. Oberlin was up 24-22 and the referee (Oberlin substitute) called the game at 4:50pm and Oberlin left the field. An umpire (a Michigan supporter) said the time was only 4:46pm, so Michigan stayed on the field, ran another play that resulted in a 4 pt touchdown, and claimed victory. The following year, Oberlin coach John Heisman became the head coach at Buchtel (now the University of Akron).
