Perhaps not 1st Team, but Roberto Ydratch #8 deserves to be All-American.

Congrats to Mitch and FU Indiana.

Tarik Pannholzer scores his 2nd goal of the season from an amazing long ball from GK Aleksa Janjic. If you would have told me in 2011 when Marshall AD Mike Hamrick unveiled the Hoops Family Field renderings, that in 13 years "Marshall already had a national championship and they are getting ready to play for their second star". I would have ask you what kind of drugs you was taking. Before Grassie got to Marshall in 2017, Marshall had exactly 12 winning or break even seasons from 1979-2016.

This is the start of a stretch that could determine an at-large bid. 😁 Sorry, couldn't resist.

Vermont vs Marshall... The world is healing. Screw the Suckeyes.

Congratulations to Emil and Mitch https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/ncaa-division-i-mens-all-america-teams-announced/

Bama wouldn't be ranked ahead of several 2 loss P5 teams if SOS didn't matter. OSU wouldn't be ranked ahead of 1 loss Indiana. Penn State, Texas, and Georgia wouldn't be ranked ahead of Notre Dame. SOS certainly plays some sort of factor. Saying it meant nothing at all is just disingenuous. It just didn't mean as much as you wanted it to, which is fine if you feel that way. I won't argue there. If the committee currently cared only about ratings then Alabama would be in over SMU. Bama has a vastly larger following and would attract a larger TV audience. I don't disagree that the 12 best teams likely aren't in. However, claiming who the 12 best teams are is very subjective. You don't have the large sample size like you do in basketball to more accurately measure teams. More and more conferences are moving to 9 game conference schedules. The SEC remains at 4, but they all play an FCS game so it's still really only 3 OOC games thar you can use to measure them against others.

The annual Duquesne game at SVSM is tonight at 6:00 versus Towson. Free admission.

They allow fans behind the goal during PKs now?! What the hell?! The Rowdies/Akron fans had to stand on either side of the goal during the 2009 and 2010 runs.

Have you Heard?

I heard he is working as a speech therapist at PCCC.

Hi Zips fans. Men’s soccer player Emil Jaaskelainen is a semi-finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy which is the college soccer version of the Heisman. Please vote at the link below. Go Zips! https://machermanntrophy.com/2024-mens-fan-voting/?gf_protect_submission=1

Appreciate @NYC ZIP's clarification response, but as someone who cares deeply about soccer, agree with you that fan voting, even at this stage, lessens the prestige of the award in my opinion.

It’s not decided by fan vote. Winning the fan vote at this semi finalist stage is equivalent of one first place committee vote. Which is then narrowed to the final three. Those final three are then voted on by the committee to decide the winner. It’s cool you don’t care, just replying to clarify.

You can vote once / day. More if you have more than 1 email address.

Just wait until they start saying God declined the offer for them. "I was very blessed to receive an offer from (insert school), but God has other intentions for me. Recruiting is still open. #Blessed"

I was at a trivia event tonight when the category of four-letter words that start with Z came up. The question was the University of Akron's sports teams have this nickname. I got it (but several other teams did not). 🤣
