Let'sGoZips94

Lots of praise for Luke Getsy after last night's MNF performance.

There are 2 departures from last year's team that never made sense to me: Mumpfield and Gibson. Unless they were told to leave, how could either look at JoeMo's history/system, and say, "I don't want to be part of that?" I think both would've thrived under JoeMo but ce la vie.

Kent & Failure.

Basketball still has wooden bleachers that destroy the lower back. Keeping it old school with tickets, too. Regarding this game, this is quite the home/season opener. SDSU is a perennial tourney team with some notable March Madness upsets - EDIT: THIS IS ERRONEOUS ON MY PART. They've only ever come close to upsets, and have 6 first round losses since 2012 (their first NCAA tourney appearance). No idea what to expect from the Zips, but I'm hyped for this game.

JoeMo gets it. This is a diss track with class. Beat Porta-potty Community College.

I think part of the disappointment in the results stems from the lack of awareness of just how depleted this roster was of FBS talent. Personally, I thought the majority of our issues were coaching under Arth & Co. Turns out, he brought his FCS recruiting with him and depleted this roster worse than Ianello.

How did he slip through the cracks? Incredibly surprised he doesn't have more offers, especially more prominent ones.

Two steps ahead of ya. Tennessee has the talent to overcome miscues; we're not there yet.

Bingo. There is no quit in this team - they play for JoeMo. They believe in what he's doing, and fans should, too. There just isn't enough talent in the cupboards yet to play a less-than-perfect game and overcome the inevitable mistakes to win. We will get there.

Same thing just happened to Tennessee. It isn't just Akron.

Are you kidding me...

Here's an interesting question: does X need to be 1st Team All MAC for Akron to win the MAC? Or is there enough of a supporting cast where 2nd Team All MAC will suffice?

Can't wait to head down to the Info here in a few hours. This will actually be my oldest daughter's first Akron sporting event (I forgot we had tickets to the Guardians game the same day as BUGS). Time to immerse her in Zips fandom! I believe someone said the Team Shop was well stocked with new "A" gear - I'm hoping that's still true.

Kirk Herbstreit was talking about Getsy last night, and I was hoping he'd say, "Get this Al. Mike Tirico and I called the 2005 MAC Championship Game in which Luke threw the game winning touchdown with under 15 seconds left in the game."

Physicality has always been our Achilles' heel. During the prime of the Porter days, we would always outclass our opponents skill wise. Most close matches occurred when the opponent was more physical (i.e. blOSU). I hate that style of soccer, but it is what it is. I didn't think WMU was too physical. I actually was more annoyed with their flopping.

Per MSU website...

Joe Mo recruit.

Reminds me of Northwestern in 2007(?) with their stupid field right on the shores of Lake Michigan. Stupid NCAA... At least there aren't ice shards pelting everyone in the face this game.

I believe, because they don't have lights, their light exposure was turned way up. When the sun came out from behind the clouds, it blinded the camera.

1-0 at the half. WMU flops like a fish out of water.

For those not watching, in typical Akron-fan luck, the camera went completely white as we were attacking and scored the goal. It's 1-0, but we never saw it.

Yes. https://wmubroncos.com/watch/?Live=197&type=Live

MAC soccer is a joke. Wait, let me shorten that. The MAC is a joke.

* EMU's 12 fans exhale collectively *

This video was a massive shot of adrenaline earlier that day. Never forget the classless stupidity that is Failure University - Kent Campus.

Here's your reminder.
