Anybody have any ideas for how we can get our hands on some #*@(&# soccer jerseys?

UA vs. OSU!!!

Ohio St. knocked off Michigan St. over the weekend, so now we get to do the honors of handing them their first loss. I'll go with 3-0, despite OSU packing the box and playing for a tie.

A few other random notes from last week's games...

* The ACC keeps beating up on itself, and I think that if the season ended today, it would be UA and three ACC teams that got the top four seeds (Maryland, UNC, and Wake Forest). It's tough to say with no RPI to look at yet, but I would think we'd be a strong choice for the top overall seed at this point.

* Our only ACC opponent, Virginia Tech, has started 2-0 in conference play. A decisive win when we travel to Blacksburg in a couple of weeks would go a long way towards further padding our tournament credentials.

*All of the other ten or so schools that I would give a legitimate chance to win the tournament this year have looked very beatable. The best sides have been posting one-goal and overtime wins against far inferior teams (UCLA beating San Deigo 2-1, Maryland beating St. Peter's 1-0, Wake Forest edging Elon 2-1, and UNC in a 2-1 OT victory over East Tennessee St. just this past week for example).

* The best games for the MAC so far have been NIU's tie with North Carolina and Hartwick's win this past week over #14 Dartmouth. Other than that, the other teams from our conference haven't really done us any favors.

UA vs. Tulsa

Much bigger crowd than there was Friday night... The locals must know there's a quality opponent in town.

UA vs. SMU

Nagbe hits the outside of the post 7 minutes in...

Wake Forest Senior leaves for Premiership

Apologies if this warrants removal for not being relevant enough to Zips soccer, but this is a pretty big loss for Wake (ranked #3 in the CSN poll before this news) and pretty big news for the American college soccer ranks as a whole.
