I think it's just best for the school to have one provider across the board. Should hopefully help find some decent Zips items online and at team stores. Fingers crossed.

I was very surprised at Todd Yagley's coaching or even coaching system/style. Marshall's coach Chris Grassie plays a possession based style while attacking when you have the numbers. Coach Grassie will even play side to side if that is all you give him. He has said that if you do that long enough you will run the other team ragged and a mistake will happen. In the title game Indiana rarely contested Marshall for the ball and only trying to score on the counter. Marshall had possession of the ball in the title game 73% of the time. Other stats: Shots: Marshall 13, Indiana 8, Shots on Goal: Marshall 8, Indiana 1, Fouls Marshall 13, Indiana 14, Yellow Cards: Marshall 4, Indiana 3, Corner Kicks: Marshall 7, Indiana 2. And the most important stat: Marshall 1, Indiana 0 on the scoreboard. Also Indiana only had 1 shot in the 2nd half, coming at the 56:28 mark of the 2nd. Considering the game went to OT and ended at the 98 minute mark, Indiana only had 1 shot in the last 42 minutes of play. There was 5,000 tickets that were sold. WakeMed Soccer Complex main stadium holds 10,000. At least 4700 of those 5,000 were Marshall fans. Those there also said the parking lot was full of Marshall fans that couldn't get in the game too. If the complex could have sold all 10,000 tickets I would estimate that 9500-9600 would have been Marshall fans. Besides Huntington only being 5 1/2 hours away from Cary NC, Charlotte and Grensboro/High Point have a high concentration of Marshall alums.

Well that's a gut-punch. He'd always said Akron was his dream school since he'd been a kid.
