Pathetic 2nd half.

Sucks

The Huskies just had our number this season. A rare program that we have now played five times and never beaten.

There are points when the possession game is overrated and unnecessary. When you are dominating the game and not winning is one of them. At some point, you just have to let it rip and hope that chaos is the tool of the soccer gods.

Too bad.

Red card on Akron for a rip down on a break away with 2 minutes to go.

We look atrocious on offense in this second half.

UCONN 2 1 with 19 minutes left

2-1 UConn with 19 minutes to go. Awful defensive breakdown around the box.

Now down 2-1.

Devan Christion- 6'9" F - Vegas Where in the world did this come from? Had offers from George Mason and others, but can't find too much on his recruiting. Looks long and smooth.

UConn tied it 10 minutes ago. 1-1 Chippy game now. Akron with lots of chances. The quality of the chances is questionable. Need to get better at creating quality shots.

I know someone who was in the administration when Tressel came to U of A. The collective expectation was that he was going to be a lazy figurehead easing into retirement. To their surprise and pleasure, he worked very hard and did well in the job. The school could use a guy like that now to help make up for their introvert head coach.

What a pass!

GOALLLLLLLLL

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLL! 1-0 Zips

That might be the best defensive half of soccer that the Zips have played this year. I have to give tremendous credit to Thomas O"Rourke. I can't recall a player in the last 10 years...who has improved more than O'Rourke over the course of the season. O'Rourke had several key takeaways and was dynamic on offense. Let's get a goal(or 2 😁), Zips

How much if your own money would you be willing to lay on a bet that JT would have reeled in LBJ? Before saying, define "reeling in".

I don’t get what we were doing at the end there. When everyone has finished their runs into the box and all the defenders are in the box as well why just pass the ball around the back line, just let one rip and try to get the deflection

Zips thoroughly outplaying them.

Very low resolution stream -- can barely make out the time and score. So bad that it made me second guess the TV. Edit: Slightly better on MacBook.

My point about Tressel has to do with 3 THINGS! 1- FUNDRAISING - he would have been an AMAZING fundraiser, even our competition loves him. I will mention LBJ again....I guarantee you Tressel could have reeled him in. You look at some of the Universities that have prospered lately, it is all about fundraising. JMU and High Point are two that come to mind. Those president's have done an amazing job. UA enrollment is 50% of what it used to be. WE HAVE NO IDENTITY except a broke school that is good at soccer. 2- DECISION MAKING - sometimes it is better to stay out of the way. Don't make a bad decision worse. Cut your losses. That is 100% coach Tress. 3- HIRING - bring in homegrown people not people that are looking to use the school as a stepping stone. Most schools in the MAC lose coaches because they are successful and they move to bigger jobs. We actually fire coaches because they are horrible and buy them out. Now we can't afford to feed our players properly. If we had made coach Tress President I bet he would have stayed until he retired. And he wouldn't have retired until he was successful. JoeMo is the best coach we could have hoped for. We have handcuffed him. He is not even playing with a budget or NIL competitive in the MAC. Nick Saban couldn't win here.

Go zips!!!
