Puke.

They snubbed PCCC of a return game? Smart school. Outside of the Zips game, go Gaels!

Akron @ Saint Mary's 11/12. Love. It.

I think we'll be pleasantly surprised with the level of detail this game goes into for each university. The latest video had NIU running by their Husky statue thing.

That's not Professional Zip. Ohio - based on what we know - should be the favorites going into the season. They returned the most from last year's squad, which was a second half collapse away from the MAC Championship game. Kent lost everything. Who knows what type of talent they swindled into transferring to that dump heap, but they're outlook isn't nearly as optimistic. Toledo lost everything as well, and arguably backfilled with less than even Kent did. Kowalchoke might not even have a chance to choke in March. Miami - largely uninspiring offseason for them. Akron arguably has the most to replace between the Unanimous MAC POTY (Freeman), Ali Ali, and Hunter. However, I am quite a bit more confident in the guys they brought in via the Portal than any other team in the MAC. Sharron Young has a legit shot at MAC Freshman of the Year. Chemistry and execution are the two biggest question marks, obviously, but the pieces to the puzzle make sense. If it all works out how we hope, this could be one of the most talented Zips teams we've ever seen. So, EgregiouslyNegativeNancy, let's not be ripping on fellow Zips fans for their optimism. There are grounds for said optimism.

Sheesh he's big. 6'5" 230 lbs.

It's quite explainable. Akron's incoming transfers were all bench players at their previous schools. Their stats are very limited due to this fact, so using a statistical analysis to predict the outcome of the season is heavily skewed. In addition, Akron graduated the most of anyone in the MAC, and only Toledo would be able to argue they lost more (transfer portal). It's June 2024; I have way too many other things to worry about than some flawed 2024-25 prediction. Although they did get one thing right - Kent is talentless.

Analytics only work when there are consistencies in programs. With the Transfer Portal, it's borderline impossible to analytically predict college sports. This prediction clearly doesn't factor in the Groce effect.

But it's confirmed as a home & home for this season?

App State is in the same boat. Arkansas State is allegedly the conference favorites.

Perfect team to go to. Haliburton is a great person, and we might see Freeman get airtime on McAfee which would be good for his brand and Akron. He'll be coming back to Cleveland quite often.

When was UNLV announced? As of last night, only the NKU and Don Haskins Sun Bowl games were on that website you provided.

Dumb. Not sure how Akron & Toledo aren't playing JMU/App State. Arkansas State finished a solid 20-17, 11-7 in conference. They beat Louisville (a 4th grade CYO team could've beaten Louisville last year) and destroyed UAB. They also beat Ohio, at Ohio, by 13. This is a respectable opponent, I'm just shocked the MAC and Sun Belt aren't trying to capitalize o

Please, NBA draft gods, save Freeman from Memphis and New Orleans.

Celtics went with Scheierman (I would've too - can't believe he has lasted this long). Freeman will be a day 2 pick, tomorrow at 4pm on ESPN.

Meanwhile, the circus school to the east is doing their best Big 12 impression and selling themselves to the highest bidder.

Turnover/Touchdown Tires may be making an appearance.
