  1. You mean like Arby’s, but with an F instead of an A?
  2. https://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/2008/11/akron_mens_soccer_team_prevail.html God, I hope someone can find video.
  3. 18:00? Really? That seems too early.
  4. I may never forget the look on Will Jackson’s face after that match.
  5. Akron has not won an NCAA match since 2018. We are lucky to be here. NO LOOKING PAST CURRENT OPPONENT!!!!!!!!
  6. Still bitter I am.
  7. I believe that surpasses Louis Nanchoff in 197…. 6? @ (22) goals.
  8. On a rainy night, even bad shots are good shots. Victor Gaulmin in the box should shoot the damn ball.
  9. 2024 has been (by far) the best season as a Zip for WKWK. He is evidently much more comfortable as #10. Big East post season accolades are deserved. Congratulations to Wan Kuzri Wan Kamal!
  10. Malick Henry would have made first team had he played exclusively at one position.
  11. According to Gaucho Dan, cut line this year will be 35-37 range. He is never far off the mark on such things.
  12. Why has AD quit? Moving on to greener pastures? This I know: The new/acting AD can cut costs by eliminating the TSA at the gate.
  13. Zips must be patient and take care not to over commit. Discipline, boys!
  14. Maybe the only NCAA rule I like is Sudden Death OT. If I need to give up that one rule in order to adopt FIFA rules across the board, then so be it, I will.
  15. Catch if you can the really top notch article in The Akron Beacon Journal written by Michael Beaven regarding Emil Jaaskelainen. Very informative.
  16. Something. Anything. They seem as though they are not even trying. Effort does NOT necessarily imply increased costs. Lame!
  17. We shall agree to disagree. As a self-styled football purist, I do not at all mind the strategic draw, regardless of the motivation. The objective is winning the league over winning the individual contest. Your point that this is less relevant in NCAA must be taken, I concede. Straying from the traditional path on one important detail, I strongly endorse the NCAA Sudden Death format in tournament scenario. It is both definitive and exhilarating!
  18. For mere entertainment value, bring on the Extra Time. But the fact is that two 10 minute halves of ET rarely breaks the tie. Both sides usually just hunker down and wait for the end. The NCAA discovered a few years ago that the score at end of regulation usually is the score at FT. A longer ET may (or may not) render different results. But the season is already extremely compact. The extra strain on players, fans, and infrastructure was correctly identified as a negative cost/benefit.
  19. Some physical contact? Didn't VS8 head-butt the ref in the face?
  20. Where is the automatic RPI bump that was supposed to accompany membership in the Big East?
  21. None of the starters with 4 YCs should finish the UConn match. They should be yanked early. Start? Definitely. In-game circumstances will dictate when affected starters exit.
  22. The general public of Summit County and beyond do not realize what they are missing. We are witnessing one of the best single player seasons in NCAA MSOC history. Emil Jaaskelainen is a great college player. No exaggeration. Never have I seen extraordinary production look so... mundane. The last time Zips had a superb, classic, back to the goal target man, true #9, was Matt English. Who was Matt English? Ask around. Starting to notice that tingle, last felt in 2018. Remember when Marcel Zajac went nuts? Get your tix.
