It aggravates the hell out of me that not long ago the Zips and the Falcons were in a similar struggling position and now the Falcons are now back to being a successful program while our Zips are........

Amen. I'm not at all a soccer guy but that kid makes you proud to be a Zip.

I have looked at this roster over and over and can't even venture a guess as to the starting 5. Guessing on the bigs is easier as there aren't many of them, but the depth of our guards is such that I can even guess as to who will be out here. I guess that's a good problem to have.

Wonderful piece from the Players' Tribune by former Zip Darlington Nagbe- https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/darlington-nagbe-mls-soccer-crew

I think that PCCC/Massillon game was last week.

The stadium is now pretty much middle of the pack in the MAC.

Infocision is 15 years old. Stile Field House is 20 years old. I really don't think that the position that we have superior facilities is any longer the case. The program has had 5 winning seasons since 2000. It is 8-51 since 2019. The program has an experienced and respected FBS level coach. For it to be this bad every damn year the problem has to be systemic within the university and overall athletics program. At that winning percentage what kid would want to come here to play?

Some basic points: 1) Nothing good is coming to this team until they establish a decent offensive line. They're not strong enough to establish a run game and they're not mobile enough to run the finesse passing offense Moorhead obviously wants to run; 2) It's highly likely that the reason Bullock is not playing is because he's just not very good (his numbers show that); 3) Moorhead mentioned in the pregame yesterday that he'd like to see Finley be more patient in the pocket and that he essentially has happy feet. I'm a little perplexed that he'd say that without acknowledging the cause of those tendencies (that he's getting pummeled every damn week).

Point differential is considered in the polls. Beating Akron by 20 could get them into the top 100.

When your MVP is the punter, you have issues.

Just so damn frustrating. When the Zips scored with 1:20 left I immediately thought "damn, here we go again." Nice -1 rushing yards in the first half for the Zips.

Ordered my tickets yesterday. Can't wait for the season to get here!

3-0 UNLV's QB has quit the team based upon representations made by the school not being met. Welcome again to the new age of college athletics. The check must have bounced. https://sports.yahoo.com/unlvs-starting-qb-says-no-064119975.html

University of Akron football is like the person in one bad relationship after another that can't figure out why, yet never considers that maybe it's them. At some point, maybe it's you. 5 head coaches in 15 years. Time to start the "Moorhead's next endeavor" thread I guess.

The days of the University of Akron writing checks to multiple head coaches are over. The only way he's leaving is of his own volition.

I think this week starts to tell us whether the program is making progress. Competition against similar competition will be telling.

They're on the West Virginia turnpike as we speak. They are yellow busses that say Peterman on the side.

I trust it will be a little more of a blast for Gamecocks fans! LOL. Thanks for the tips.

Does it come with parking? LOL.

Sorry, but a reasonable FBS football team should be able to run the ball down the throat of a winless FCS team, even if they are stacking the box.

I'm really looking forward to...next Sunday, when this OOC schedule is behind us.

Sorry, I can't get too excited about a win over an winless FCS team.

They thought we said continent (yet they still pissed down their leg).

I think they get on track and come back in this one but even so, this is damn embarrassing.

Phew! Held 'em to a field goal!
