Zips @ Butler S/4/20/2013

Cannot make it, so I must rely on others to share.

Stevenson hurt, Gallego hurt, Derschang extended hurt.

Pre-Season: Spring 2013

All who are able are encouraged to hit the road up I-77. CSU is not that far away. Krentzler Field will have an inflatable dome over the pitch, so it will not be uncomfortable. Admission is FREE.

I will be noticing:

Fernando Pina. Just how good is this guy? For all his short-comings, Meves still leaves gigantic shoes to fill.

Andrew Souders. I anticipate him replacing Barson, in tandem with Gallego. This pairing is critical to 2013 success.

Alfred Koroma. It is time for ready Freddie to realize his hunormous potential.

Matthew Foldesy. In limited PT last year, he did not perform to (my) expectation. He likely feels the same.

Somebody new. Who among last year’s bench will seize the opportunity. In fact, I open the challenge. Which returning player not earning a letter in 2012, earns one in 2013?

See you on (or near) the pitch!

Jared Embick

When will Jared Embick speak?

He needs to reassure us, because some of the faithful are beginning to flat out panic. All indications are that 8 of our starting 11 (uh, not to mention the coach), are leaving for the pros.

Who are the new recruits I AM SURE he must be landing? How are we to back-fill such losses? What is the plan? Please tell me there is a plan.

A burning hot spot light turns on Embick immediately following Porter's farewell party, @ 8:05 pm 12/12/2012.

Michigan @ Akron

Zips would be gravely mistaken to overlook Michigan for Creighton.
