This is a strong schedule.

that is a great schedule.

This will really help the zips prepare for the post season.

I give a great deal of credit to Jared Embick for putting together this schedule

Kudos to Jared and staff for this awesome schedule.

Sucks that Michigan dropped us, but oh well. Their loss.

I'm sure UCLA is looking forward to visiting Akron in November. I give them huge credit for coming. Wimpy Gauchos have yet to return our trip from a few years ago, but we're going there again. I guess they're afraid of freezing their tortillas in Akron.

Well, sadly, I will not be travelling to see the Zips play again this season. I had been looking forward to a trip to Cali this year, having known since last summer about the visit to Isla Vista. But, a one-game road trip is not a worthwhile investment for Z.I.P. I wonder when the make-up game with coach Salgado's club will be. I've only been to the junk Drake Stadium once, but would enjoy returning just to see those two teams face off. Good luck to Jared and the Zips in 2015!

Strong schedule but no Akron Tournament that they have had in years past.

Not sure I understand your logic. You won't travel for 1 game at UCSB but you would for 1 game at UCLA? Or, are you thinking the Zips might play UCLA in a tournament where they would have a 2nd game in Califunny within 2 days of each other?

Personally, I don't like scheduling UCSB. I think it's too far to travel with a game 3 days earlier and another 5 days later. [Play WF on 22nd, travel on 24th, play UCSB on 25th, travel on the 26th, play PSU on the 30th. You can't regenerate your legs on an airplane.] Add to that, the UCSB a-holes haven't come to Akron in return for our last trip, and as much as some people think it's cool, I didn't appreciate their fans throwing tortillas from the top of the stands at our players while they are in action. I'd have no problem with them throwing tortillas to celebrate a goal, but I don't understand how the referees can allow them to be thrown at the opponent during play. Coming from the top of the stands with enough velocity, someone could get hurt. (Kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^2. Velocity matters more than mass.)

Tough schedule, I like it.

Is it just me or are we playing fewer games this year than in the past?

18 is normal.

In 2009, for example, final record was 23-1-1. 18 reg season games, 2 MAC Tourney games, 3 NCAA Tourney games + 2 more in the College Cup.
