Congratulations to Akron City FC for the win in their first game last night. Great to see a number of Zips and former Zips in the match. Shoutouts to Cam Victor in goal and Jaden Wright for providing all of Akron City FC’s scoring.

Sorry my statement wasn't clear enough. That was my point. That needs to stop. There's a lot of Akron gear out there with various logos. Some day, the new logo will likely be most prevalent, but I don't care what older Akron logo someone wears as long as all Akron alumni, fans, supporters, etc., wear Akron gear, new logo or preferred older logo, but not some other school's gear. Go Zips!

The new logo looks fine to me, but my bottom line is ... Akron alumni, fans, supporters, etc., wear Akron gear, new logo or preferred older logo, but not some other school's gear. Go Zips!

Looking forward to seeing the version with the ⭐️ for our Men's Soccer National Championship.

Not putting the program’s best out there to try to increase community interest. Die hard Zips football fans who stomached iCoach and Arth are unaffected. They’ve already shown an ability beyond compare to put up with the worst. Field House v Stadium is minor to them. When trying to build outside interest, advanced planning to open all seating areas of Infocision Stadium for a free Spring Football Game on a nice Spring day would have been a great way to show case the program and start building new relationships. Not saying that is not happening in other ways but I see this Spring Game in the Field House as a missed opportunity. .

That’s a bit extreme. However, I think expressing our displeasure with the situation and asking for better planning is appropriate. I’d also be more accepting if he admitted a mistake in planning instead of trying to cover it up with the weather. OMG this might be the first time football takes place in less than ideal conditions in NE Ohio. Thus we are holding it indoor. Really?! Lol!!! Never mind that fans in attendance should have access to the club and “ritzier” levels. Maybe that would draw more fans allowing them to watch from those seats if they wish. Some people might be excited to enjoy those parts of the stadium.

I’ve been told by the AD that moving the Spring Game has to do with not causing any issues should the Women’s LAX game go into OT. How long has the Spring Game been in planning? Is the Athletic Department incapable of planning to avoid such a situation? Seems like simple schedule management / advanced planning to me.

A Spring Game indoor on a beautiful Spring Day is a total miss. That turf must be in really bad condition to make a decision to use the Field House. I think we are owed an explanation. I’m very much getting tired of being asked time and again for donations with very little from the Athletics Department.

How about Diogo Pacheco? ...MNUFC2 head coach Cameron Knowles praised his attacking core for their performance on the night, while adding that it was a full team effort from the back to the front. ... Diogo Pacheco Midfielder · MNUFC2 Pacheco’s performance caught the eye of viewers both on screen and in-stadium, with Knowles praising the winger for his “determination” and “fight” to win his battles on the pitch tonight. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Pacheco is a collegiate product out of Akron University where over three seasons he scored 10 goals and notched 4 assists in 34 appearances. 2022 is his first year with the Minnesota United organization, where he was signed to an MLS NEXT Pro contract on March 23rd. In his first start of the season, Pacheco took advantage of the opportunity presented to him and put on a passing clinic. His first of three assists to Justin McMaster may have been the cleanest.

FIFY 🙂

Thanks @Z.I.P.

we had better figure out how to get away from the stupid passing in the back or we’re not going to win low scoring or close games. It’s one thing to build from the back and to pass back with purpose, but for some reason these players often see little urgency when they do it. Indecisive and too many touches. I can’t say it any other way than insanity. I get so angry watching it. 🤬

Regardless how our Zips line up, I hope they stop playing stupid with so much ridiculous passing in and around our own penalty area. Some long goal kicks like we saw from time to time at RMU would be nice.
