Daniel Strachan should have been included on the All MAC teams very glad to see that Daniel was voted All-Ohio https://gozips.com/news/2021/12/20/mens-soccer-seven-zips-garner-all-ohio-mens-soccer-honors.aspx

Congrats to first team scholar All American Diogo Pacheco https://gozips.com/news/2021/12/16/mens-soccer-pacheco-named-first-team-united-soccer-coaches-scholar-all-america-honoree.aspx

the 4 recruits...right now....are two forwards...and 2 defenders I think that we can all agree.......that the zips need to add some midfielders as well........ great vision , excellent passing, wonderful ball possession, ball winning skills.....speed...... that is not too much to ask ???? the 2015 midfield....of Laryea, Najem and Souto.....comes to mind .......Can Santa Claus bring the zips...a 2022 midfield.....comparable to Richie, Victor and Adam? come on Santa Claus, I don't ask you for much !!!!

It is great to see your very positive comments on Levi. Actually, top drawer soccer....dropped Levi from 85 to 92 in the latest rankings so, they actually think that there are 91 better players. 25 of their top 34 have already gone pro....#3 on their list is Cade Cowell...and #4 is Paxten Aaronsen of the Philadelphia Union...#6 on their list is Evan Rotundo of Schalke. those 3 are pretty darn good.....Hopefully, Levi will prove top drawer soccer wrong and make their all freshman team next year a bright spot....about Levi at 92....is one of the folks rated ahead of him.....is a zip recruit..... Stefan Dobrijevic.....dropped from 84 to 91 in the latest rankings Stefan is a forward from Internationals SC the videos of Anis Smajlovic on you tube.....look good.... hopefully, all 4 known recruits, Levi, Stefan, Anis and Ashton.....bring much happiness to zips fans.

good find on Ashton Kamdem I know that FC Cincinnati academy is pretty new very nice to see the zips get a quality defender from that academy Zips nation sends out a warm welcome to Ashton Kamdem

I can never root for an ACC team. They always get the best treatment from the NCAA. I would like to see Jamie Clark of Washington join his father (Bobby Clark of Notre Dame) in winning an NCAA. Of Course, Bobby only won 1 title...so the younger Clark has a lot of winning to do if they want to catch the father son team of Jerry and Todd Yeagley. Jerry Yeagley was a great , great college coach.

Diogo - 3rd team all american https://gozips.com/news/2021/12/9/mens-soccer-pacheco-garners-third-team-united-soccer-coaches-all-america-accolades.aspx

it is an embarrassment that Larry Williams allowed Noreen Herlihy to never move to Akron. She has never had a winning record. 2-13-4 in 2017 3-15-1 in 2021 Can she do worse in 2022 ?.....before Mr. Guthrie does not renew her contract I am very happy now to have professionals like Charles Guthrie and Markus Jennings involved in the athletic department.

Good wishes to Simon Spelling. Medina soccer had the greatest high school coach for the past 8 years https://medina-gazette.com/news/284206/high-school-soccer-simon-spelling-steps-down-as-medina-boys-coach/

when is Herlihy's contract up? When did Williams give her a new contract? has been a long time since they have had winning season 3-5-1 in covid season 8-10-2 in 2019 8-10-2 in 2018 admittedly, those were improvements over 2-13-4 in 2017 that was herlihy's 3rd year.....so she should have been canned after 2017 Herlihy made $77,250 in 2017 $79,568 in 2018 $81,953 in 2019 based on the results above, the Larry and George athletic department should not have given her a big raise Big difference between div. 2 soccer at Slippery Rock.....and div. 1 soccer at Akron. and she has achieved those results....with the best soccer facilities in the MAC

Please now fire women's soccer coach Noreen Herlihy in her 6th year, 3-15-1 record and 1-9-1 in MAC Herlihy needs to go

I am not on twitter.....so I can't share them. David Trainor had a part 2 and part 3...to his tweet in his 3rd tweet...he wrote this about Larry "the Loser" Williams "He had zero business leading Student-Athletes, or an Athletic Dept."

He is making $1.150,000 at Oregon is he going to take a $350K pay reduction to become a head coach again?

Iowa sources are reporting that their offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz has interviewed for the Akron job. Ferentz salary this year is $860,000.

How much is Akron going to pay for a new football coach? Arth salary was around $500,000 Joe Moorhead salary this year as Oregon offensive coordinator was $1,150,000. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2021/04/details-released-for-new-contracts-for-oregon-ducks-offensive-coordinator-joe-moorhead-receivers-coach-bryan-mcclendon-cornerbacks-coach-rod-chance.html

82 minutes...#3 seed Hoyas lead 2-0 scored on PK at 69 minutes just scored again at 82:04 Hoyas currently lead 17-2 in shots and 10-1 in corners

982 people at last night's game ???? thought that it was interesting to look at the size of the 16 crowds The opening 16 games averaged 1,131 fans, up 27 percent from 2019, the last year tournament teams hosted matches.

Interesting comment from Santa Clara coach......on the tendencies of the zips “We learned how to defend in and around the box, which is where Akron is really good,” Broncos coach Cameron Rast said. “Eleven of their last 13 goals have come from crosses from their wide channel, putting balls in the middle where they punch it in. my comments.....In recruiting this year, the zips need to find a speedy, good passing midfielder (I know, those are hard to find).....who can work the ball up the middle of the field....and make good passes into the box....from the middle of the field.... Toward the end of the year, Malik Henry was working very hard to learn to cut into the middle of the field.....to try to score goals himself.....and to make good passes from the midfield... Malik Henry had an incredible first year for the zips. He has a great burst of speed and made great passes from the wide channel. But, the zips need to be multi dimensional and make progress from the center of the field

“I thought we played well,” Embick said. “I know when you lose sometimes you want to look at something, but you can’t fault anything. The effort was there, the game plan was there. We just didn’t win. We gave up two goals on their only two chances. It hurts, but in terms of the game I thought we really played well tonight.”

Tremendous credit to BG for going on the road to beat highly ranked Louisville Impressive win by Georgia State at Charlotte Akron showed tonight that it is not a top team in the MAC.

do not know.... commentator Chad Welker did not why he was not dressed

Tobias Bak has done a great job stepping in for Malik Henry. Malik has been great all year....but Tobias had a great first half as the right DB

predictions from top drawer soccer....for all 16 games https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-di-tournament-first-round-preview_aid50193

College soccer news...appears to be predicting a Santa Clara win.... as you said it well, zips will have to bring it every game.... weather forecast is looking better..rain supposed to end around 11 am.....zips should be better equipped to handle 38 degrees and 12 mph winds dress warm, zips fans !!! https://collegesoccernews.com/mens-college-soccer-rapid-reactions-to-the-first-round-matchups-in-the-2021-ncaa-tournament/
