Soccer is a cruel game. A team can dominate but fail to capitalize. One bad touch can be the difference between winning and losing. This team simply did NOT have it this year. Time to regroup and squeeze every last dime out of that recruiting budget.

BTW, I do NOT count S. Carry as a player worth squat and moving to greener pastures. I respect his game, but his head doesn't seem to be there most times.

Their team has been decimated by player movement. They have ONE player remaining on their roster from two years ago. I also follow Duquesne and there seems to be very little hope for KD in the Burgh. Any player worth squat will move to greener pastures after a season or two. The new transfer rules are only going to create a larger gap between the have and have-nots in D1. They have a nicely rebuilt arena, but good luck getting recruits to a school with little success since the 1950s (NIT when it was important) and zero profile with young people.

WOW, that is amazing. I will gladly eat crow on that one!

Petrino = NO!!

If it comes down to UA vs. GA State, the selection committee has to go GA State: - Better overall record - Better MAC record - Won head to head 3-1 ON ROAD - Tournament finalist; Lost in OT They should make it. That home result hurt big time.

I appreciate all of the hard work and research that went into this thread. However, this team doesn't have it this year. Their 1-4-1 road record speaks volumes about their tournament chances if they make it. Plus, the NCAA does Akron ZERO favors.

Wow, this does NOT bode well for our beloved Zips 😳

Win, lose, or draw... I will believe it when I see it.

Gossip on the street has this as Arth's final game. This came from a fairly credible source, but take it with a grain of salt. I will believe it once I see the official announcement. Juicy gossip nonetheless 😂

IMO, recruiting, recruiting, and recruiting. I respect the coaches and believe they find "system" players over ranking. However, I have been underwhelmed with our recent classes and somewhat disappointed with the career production of some of our higher ranked guys. It seems as though our MLS pipeline has been tapped dry. Not down on Embick and staff, just giving an honest assessment.

Absolute spot on. Those four teams are irrelevant to me.

Zips outshot and corners were disproportionately favored BG, but Jason Shokalook with the hat trick!!!

5-1 beat down of the Falcons!!!

3-0 at half!!

Thanks for the inane commentary 🙄

You must have a small circle of friends and associates. I worked with someone ON HIS OLD STAFF and they shared that players overwhelmingly were tuning Bowden out at the end. Good man, appreciate his time with the Zips, but let it go.

2-0 Zips after 20min!!!

Nittany Lions won 2-1 at UMich today. This will NOT be an easy one. Seems like a veteran roster to me. The GA State result should not surprise. We still have a lot of work to do in the final third and corners (as someone already cited) suck. Looking over Panthers roster showed some mean looking dudes. #10 has a busted face in his pic, LOL.

I had to stop after 90 seconds. To have a "presser," one must have a press. GT's non- question question was middle school newspaper club worthy material. Arth is smiling at the quality of the dumpster fire we have here in Akron. Unreal...

That game was definitely the nail in the coffin for me. Barring a complete turnaround, they must buy out Arth and go in another direction. Zero results in year three and not much talent in the pipeline. Normally, one would be concerned with talent leaving the program with s departing coach. Not much there to worry about.

Why is our athletic dept such a Mickey Mouse operation? No surplus sale, zero marketing, concessions not available, etc. It CANNOT be that difficult!!

The excitement building up to this game is monumental 🙄 24-12 Script Akron

The Auburn game result was as expected. Collect our check and board the plane. The big takeaway from this mercenary effort: Kato Nelson has ZERO business starting at QB for the remainder of the season. I like the script Akron, but it should NEVER be a replacement for a logo. It shows how minor league we are in terms of marketing and branding. The "Z" always looked amateurish, but somehow showcase the uniqueness of Zips name and/or kangaroo.

1) Does the NCAA exist anymore? if so... 2) Does it even have the power to levy penalties? If this were a P5 team, they would chuckle and hang up the phone.
