Bashing the players in the media serves no purpose. Jared and Leo and others will get their points across behind the scenes in practice. The 2015 team had a brutal butt kicking in their 2nd match at Old Dominion and they rebounded to make it to the final four. Last year's team had a bad first weekend out west. This bad loss and the incentive of playing against 2 former Zips.....should help the Zips rebound on Saturday against Pitt.

Not as bad as first thought (according to coaches presser today). Sprained MCL, out 3 to 4 weeks.

I have not witnessed them play this bad at home since a regular season loss to West Virginia several years ago.

Simply Deplorable! Worst showing in several years!

I am now officially over Captain Marco Micaletto's gifted strength of foot. (Well, not really.) Yes, Marco sees the whole field well. He knows where the ball should go and has the rare strength and accuracy to get it there, from seemingly anywhere. What a sweet stroke that boy has! But. Just because Marco can deliver a world class long ball does not mean that ball will be received by another world class foot. Many of Micaletto's aerial passes were fumbled out of touch last night. I lost count on how many. On this team, I suggest that Marco would be better suited closer to goal, in the 3 layer of a 4-2-3-1. Let him send those bombs in as long range shots on goal. We may sacrifice some in distribution by deploying Marco further up the pitch. But Zips need to change. Our offense was strangled by NCS last night. Wolfpack did not forward press. And they kept their back line very high. SO, their entire squad was compressed into 35 yards of field length. And then they simply dared us to pass into midfield, which we suddenly suck at doing. How many unforced turnovers did we have? Ballgame.

You mean Erik Crouch, right?

Dang it. Now I want Gebbia to start if he quits that fast.

No fancy ESPN+ subscription required this week.

good to see our (lack of) media coverage is noted by outsiders.
