I get it. Thanks all.

I understand what you're saying, and I don't think these were aimed at me, but this is a discussion forum, and I personally like the discussion and reading others' opinions whether or not I agree with them. No one is forced to read anyone else's posts. We all do so by choice. I haven't used it, but I believe members can use an option on this board to mute those whose posts they no longer wish to read. Of course, you can just not read them, too.

You’re right. We’ll give it some time. We have no choice anyway However, I see many similarities to 2010/11. RI was supposedly “building a foundation”, etc.; it quickly became quite obvious that he knew little about being a D1 head coach. I see many early, similar indicators. Ugh. Also, Larry has been at UA since 2015. Go back and read what his priorities were supposed to be concerning Football and Men’s Basketball. Little, if any, progress has been made in 4 years. In fact, Men’s Basketball has no doubt gone backward, not just on the court, but in number of season ticket holders and drama/bad publicity.

semantics my friend. Fees for copying and mailing yes. I believe I said there should be no cost for providing an electronic file. also It is a public record which can be requested by any one. “It is not the school's prerogative as to whether or not the report is made available to the general public. If you mean, it is their prerogative as to whether they post it on a web page or not, that may be true. However, they do have to make it available.” By that I meant provide it upon request.

Larry Williams has little if anything to do with the success of volleyball, swimming, or the upswing of Women's Soccer. The coaches of those programs were already in place when Larry arrived. Williams’ tenure has also produced six new head coaches, including Tom Arth (football), John Groce (men’s basketball), Melissa Jackson (women’s basketball), Chris Sabo (baseball), Christy Mitchell (women’s lacrosse), and Meaggan Pettipiece (softball). Source: GoZips.com, https://gozips.com/staff.aspx?staff=1 We're all waiting for this great step forward in football, the sport which Larry played and about which he should know the most and have the most connections. To date, we've not seen an inkling that it will happen any time soon. I will also say that I've seen student athletes cut from our teams for less transgressions than that which our Men's Basketball coach allegedly allowed to transpire earlier this year and which is back in the news. Larry is a nice guy, but this is business. He has not made any progress with the 2 teams on which the UA Athletics Department is most reliant for revenue generation. In fact, both have gone significantly backward and look to be worsening. When contracts expire, and results aren't there, it's time to look for new leadership.

I hear you @72Roo However, Arth like RI1.0 may not be capable. As soon as contracts expire, those who squandered $650k+ to create this mess and who continue to make colossal hiring mistakes need to go. UA cannot afford to keep paying for these blunders. Students, who have no choice but to pay for this, and dedicated Akron Football alumni, fans, supporters do not deserve this nor does the university or community as a whole. This failure is a drag on the university and all of its great programs, academic and athletic.

Happy to see you back on here @malonepioneer12

Absolutely proud of the way this team responded after the early faux pas and after they went down a man. I told them so when they came off the field! I'm happy they have 4 days before SIUE at home Friday night. Carlo told me he should be ready Friday.

Through October 15th, the United Soccer Coaches' poll shows: #1 St. Benedict's Preparatory School (Newark, NJ) - assistant coach Clint Caso (Akron 2013, 14); current Zip, Henrique Cruz is an alumnus #2 Medina, (Medina, OH) - head coach Simon Spelling (Akron 1980, 81, 82, 83) https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/top-ranked-teams-continue-their-stronghold/ The Medina Battling Bees defeated Barberton 5-0 yesterday and will play Akron Firestone, who defeated Brunswick 2-1 yesterday, on Wednesday, Oct 23rd in Medina. The St. Benedict's Grey Bees also won yesterday, 3-0 over Long Island’s Chaminade From Henrique's bio on GoZips.com: ...Helped his St. Benedict's Prep (N.J.) squad capture back-to-back national and New Jersey State Prep A titles in 2017 and 2018, respectively, including posting a perfect 18-0 mark in 2018...played at St. Benedict's Prep under the tutelage of former Zips' men's soccer player Clint Caso, who is an assistant coach with the program...

My point was that the match v BUGS was just as important at the time. Please explain if you believe it was not. This match will be tough. WMU is very good (referring to their 2019 results and their current RPI). We can't afford to lose focus...100% full-time Akron Soccer effort required. Hopefully, a decent contingent of Zips Men's Soccer fans make their way to Kalamazoo tomorrow. It's a 2 pm match. Head up their by 9 am; be home by 9 pm. Nice Sunday drive. Please, those who can, let's do our part to support our team. I don't think this is an exact address, but 4502 Campus Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49008 should get you close enough to find it. GO ZIPS!!!
