A few years ago, Zips' Athletic Department deemed it wise to eliminate the position of Director Of Operations, Soccer. Chiselers. Amateurs. They seemingly cannot recognize real quality, right in their own Athletic Department. So, it is not as though Chad Barson could have been hired by U of Akron. Not at that position, anyway. Buckeyes are poised to dramatically change the trajectory of that program. This will not be your fathers' OSU Soccer. Be advised, Zips' fan. Congratulations, Chad!

We should expect a very productive season from #11 Marcel Zajac in 2018!

And Richmond VA is a cool town to visit.

HBD Nick! Once a Zip; Always a Zip! Come back to visit.

We saw him up close at the UMD match. (I should have spoken to him.) Cat is big, and not just tall. He looks like a linebacker. Hope he got shkills.

That is still too many.

The Thump & Run brand of futbol has left OSU along with John Bluem. His stench is dissipating. Now a proper footballer is taking his first HC job (of any note). Lookout Zips fans! There goes the neighborhood! Recruiting just got tougher! Not to mention the matches! Coach Embick, please get OSU back on the schedule, because they will be good in just a few years. And WE got first dibs on them bastards! Let the I71 Derby be renewed! http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/042318aaa.html

AK 1-1 MD A hotly contested affair, atypically for Spring. Egbo, Zajac, Strachan, Lundt played well. Evenly matched, which surprised me. Terps have many more returning than do Zips.

Rumor has it that new transfer Marco Micaletto will be in attendance for the Maryland scrimmage. Welcome him to Akron!

You'll Never Walk Alone, Sammy! Once a Zip; always a Zip! Well, done, Boy!

Akron 2-4 Charleston Marcel Zajac with FK goal and a really sweet crossing assist to David Egbo. A worrisome and lackluster effort by Zips. Probably only 4 or 5 of players on today’s squad will start come Fall.

This is big. Mohamed will likely start come Fall.

Soccer Coach? Forget that! I’m going to be President! I got MAD executive skills!

Will this be televised?

Better turn out than expected in the freezing weather. Dozens were in attendance to see Zips trounce FC Porto, a youth academy from Toronto. It is not too soon to say this: Catch the brilliance that is David Egbo while you still can! He is looking more special every outing! He is unlikely to play out his full eligibility. Such touch! Such poise!

Tyler Warner! Fantastic interview! Keep up the strong work!

No GK anywhere would have stopped that 4th goal by Riverhounds. That shot rang the goal post like a bell just below the crossbar. It was a world class free kick from (I think) #25.

Much Love to Zarek V. It is way past time that cat paid us a visit.

Carlo likes tackling... alot. I am going to like this Ritaccio. Notice the players he identifies as heroes.

Yes, I think so.

Young Joao drops microphone, exits parking lot..........

It may be that it is I who does not get it. Marla Ridenour, Akron Beacon Journal conducted this interview. True or False? Or was it Tyler Warner? Then why is Marla Ridenour, Akron Beacon Journal at the top of the cover page? Great interview!

I wish there was a way to congratulate Marla Ridenour on this article blog.
