Very happy with the win (a nod to CK). Nice effort in the final 15 minutes as mentioned above; kept the pressure on ND. I would not have awarded the 2nd PK; contact appeared to be just outside of the box. Still not happy about the loss at Western but beating ND helps.
There is no doubt that a foul occurred.
Spot of infraction is critical to referee’s decision. Where the actual moment of foul is what counts. I was 35 feet away, maybe closer. Contact was initiated outside the box, but foul occurred inside the 18.
In similar situations, Referees will most often reward a Free Kick outside the box because spot of foul is called into question. I would not have blamed the Ref last night for deciding likewise. It took courage to award a second Penalty Kick to the home side in a high profile match.
I have no problem whatsoever with the PK awarded in the first half. That gets called 10 out of 10 times.

I have a great idea for the video board.
Use it to enhance my experience in the JAR.
That's what it's for.
I'm happy about it. I could care less about what anybody who doesn't care about Zips Basketball thinks about it.
I’ve been tempted to post that “don’t look now, but Cykron will be posting again soon”. When I saw Kyle was playing. I waited too long! Plus, don’t want to jinx us, but Kyle scares me as an opponent. Saw him play HS ball long enough to know I wished he was a Zip! I even thought youu might come back to your newfound friends for the game.....!
I thought you were kidding....but you weren’t! How can they even put all the scenarios together and come up with THAT! Could this be the Great Frisco Bowl Jinx we’ve all heard about?
And that does it folks! Akron wins a big one 2-0 at home over ...what? No. 7 Notre Dame? In any case, this team of Roos belongs in the top 10. Two MAC teams in the top 10! Don't think THAT has ever happened!
Late penalty given to Notre Dame with 2:22 showing on clock. Holthusen pushed in the back just inside the box. Gainford takes the kick...stopped by GK, but Hinds is right on the spot to put the rebound away. 2-0, just what I was looking for!
