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.

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

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.

If Rutgers becomes a top 15 team with a Heisman candidate/top NFL prospect at QB, we can market that we have magical powers to middling P5 programs that will turn their program into a powerhouse upon scheduling us. That would truly be a miracle. Love this game. That 2024 schedule is Kentucky, Rutgers, South Carolina for the time being. I can't remember if that 2024 UK game is the one that we're looking to move off of? 2027 has Rutgers and San Jose State.

Come home, Caleb.

Let's just hope JoeMo isn't like Stefanski and does nothing about the mediocrity on Defense/Special Teams.

I didn't watch the game, as I was at the marathon that was the Guardians game (my 3 year old daughter lasted all 15 innings, which included a nap in her seat from the bottom of the 7th until the 10th inning; trooper, and she set the bar high for her baby sister). Obviously the defense was the problem today, and has been a bit of an issue in general. Anybody with insider information know why Toth left for Air Force? Tibesar's track record is underwhelming, and I'm wondering if a change at DC will take place under JoeMo at some point since Tibesar wasn't the first choice.

6'7" 315 lbs OL from Indianapolis. Dodge City CC currently.

Andre Jones was a weapon on Special Teams. A month and 1 day prior to this, he was part of the Miracle at the Zoo and one of the greatest French calls of all time. Because it's Guardians playoff day, this was also a day or 2 after the infamous Bug Game vs the Yankees in the 2007 ALDS. Go Zips & Guardians!

BUGS plays old OSUcks soccer, which has always given us problems. Bad tie.

1-0 Akron at the half. Had to defend WAY too much on BUGS' side of the pitch, but we defended well to keep a clean sheet thus far. Clapier chipped the goalie from the left size. Incredibly cheeky goal.

If only Shaq were from Akron and not LeBum. Maybe we'd actually have affordable merchandise.

I'm holding any questions until we see how this team shoots the ball. The good thing is, we have the blueprint from last year to see how to be successful if we aren't the best shooting team.

Thank you for posting that. I had never heard the story about the 4th official walking off. That game was COLD. Sounds like the official was looking to get to warmth but the Akron bench was too hot. Haha. Also, love hearing Embick mention that Lola didn't think he could win a Natty here. Someone correct me, but have we ever lost to Lola? Obviously we beat him in 2010, and again during one of the 3 Final Four trips we've made under Embick. Any other encounters? One thing I was disappointed to not see included was the flurry at the end of the National Championship game. THAT was some of the most chaotic soccer I've ever seen. Would've loved to have heard Embick's thoughts and what the coaches were thinking as Meves was making a toe save after Valentin(?) cleared the ball off the line.

What's on the line?

UA beat UA - BUGS just happened to get the W on their record.

Maybe. Or maybe the find the right fit and have successfully (maybe lucrative) football careers.

Smart power moves.
