The Akron Zips and the Wyoming Cowboys have scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2025 and 2028 seasons, FBSchedules.com has learned.A copy of the football game contract with the University of Wyoming was obtained from the University of Akron via a state public records request. The contract was executed on Oct. 12, 2021.

 

In the first game of the series, Akron will host Wyoming at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025. The series will conclude three seasons later with the Zips traveling to face the Cowboys at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyo., on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2028.

I like this addition.

Don't know if Joe Akron will appreciate that in most years Wyoming would be equivalent to a top tier MAC team.

I'm intrigued.

Interesting. Wyoming and San Jose State on upcoming schedules. When's the last time we went out west so often?

These are the games that are fun for us and a good challenge and do absolutely nothing for the casual fan that doesn't even know Wyoming is D-1. So, meh

There is only one thing I can say about this:

I like it.  I like Wyo & I'll be looking forward to seeing them in person.  I think they have the most gloriously ugly uniforms in football.  (KSUcks' kits are just ugly, not gloriously ugly.)

A winnable OOC game. Go bowling every year and more casual fans will perk up.

This is the team that drew Brimfield AM&T School of Fashion Design in the Tater Tots Bowl.  They whooped up on NIU and Jar St. on the road early on, went 4-0 non-con to manage 6-6 overall, 2-4 with defeats to New Mex and Hawai'i in the mediocre MWC.  Enjoy the stay in Laramie, the Las Vegas of Central Wyoming.
