You could see it coming, sorta. The women have played 5 overtime’s, lost 5 times 1 nil, had a couple nil nil draws. But a 2-1 road win on Sunday at Miami added some confidence. But tonite they hosted an undefeated in MAC play Bowling Green, 8-0-0. And the match was played for the most part in the final third in the Zips defensive end. But they held, and Erin McKinney, freshman goalie, had 11 saves on the night. And Senior Mid Shea O’Brien who subbed back in after a late breather with about 3 minutes left, bombed in a 25 yarder to the upper right corner with less than 2 minutes remaining. McKinney made her final save with less than 30 seconds left. Huge win. Biggest since they won. Quarterfinal MAC tourney match 4 seasons ago...

ABJ (GT): Season on the line for Zips as they face cross-county rival They’ve dug themselves a hole with that 0-2 conference start and adding another “L” to that tally at this stage of the season would all-but end their hopes of repeating as East Division champs... But UA has been playing flat football — at least on the offensive side of the ball... They had a group of inexperienced receivers and an offensive line that needed work and has since been hit with a season-ending injury to a starter... ^^After six recruiting classes that's an excuse, not a reason. It's Kent Week & I'm meh and I hate it. At least GT's not mincing words: They haven’t reached the end zone as an offense in six quarters, the last touchdown coming on defense. Offensively, they’ve been anemic.

^^ I love the idea of the gold jersey. Not surprised one bit that Utomi is leading the way.

That's about what they'd get from Kansas, Louisville or Kentucky. Just no cut to the AAU coach.

You are still not getting it. It took me a while as well, so don't feel bad. It is not that RPI matters more in NCAA Men's Soccer than do the variety of popular polls. The real point is that these polls do NOT. MATTER. WHATSOEVER. Even the so-called Coaches' Poll is irrelevant. That is how there is such huge discrepancy across the six or seven (maybe more) polls. My personal College Soccer poll that I conduct at noon everyday in Perkins Park is just as important as the one from College Soccer News, or Top Drawer Soccer, or whatever the flock soccer poll. These polls are unfortunately nothing more than a marketing gimmick, one that the wise ignore. I look forward to the time in the near future when SIDs stop treating NCAA Soccer like sports with which they are already familiar. Don't believe the hype! As of this writing, Zips have an RPI of 32, so that is their ranking. Yes, they were overrated early this season.

I am vehemently against paying college athletes, and this is exactly the alternative route that needs to be offered.

I always liked the old Black and White ones!

Dear Football Gods, What Dr. Z meant to say was POUND THE BALL, BUT PLEASE TEAR THE DELAYED HAND-OFF PLAY OUT OF MILWEE'S PLAYBOOK. Thank you. Sincerely, ZipsNation
