B & G, please interpret I think it's good

I highly concur. Reading this thread reminds me of reading college basketball scores on the ESPN crawl. All of a sudden I see a score that makes no sense whatsoever and realize I've just wasted 20 to 25 seconds reading the results of women's basketball games. ESPN should use pink type when reporting any women's scores to prevent such waste, and posts on ZipsNation concerning AU women' basketball would fit nicely in the other sports category.

congratulations to Ezana and Marco...both were selected to the PDL team of the week (I would be remiss if I also did not say that I am also happy for Jesus "Chino" Perez...only at Akron for a semester...but I continue to wish this young man well). great job by Marco and Ezana https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/pdl-conference-teams-of-the-week-7-4_aid44327

CrewSC didn't re-sign Chad and he couldn't find another MLS club to sign him. I'm not sure of his prospects in USL. He played in Sweden for a season. So, I think his decision came down to finding a job in soccer or other, returning to Europe (maybe, but I don't know his situation with his club in Sweden), or trying out at various playing levels in the USA. I don't know but suspect he tried various of these and the one that fit him best was an offer to coach for the BIG school nearby. Given that he's getting married in December, I would think that he was looking for some stability. His fiancee graduated from that BIG school, by the way. So, I'm sure she's happy to stay in the area, too.

So many new players to look forward to seeing in the fall.... and yes....due to injury, I am specifically including Braden Petno with the group of players that will be coming to the Akron campus Marco and Abdi will have great senior seasons. The 3 young men that did so well in the Development academy playoffs...will be exciting. Braden Petno will surprise many. Nick, Dion, and Ivan all come from great clubs. Marco, Daniel, Cristian and Diogo.....how many will start from those 4 young men....who come from great soccer countries?.....so exciting... can't wait for August !!! 1.
