another interception

5:30 am? damn that's early. Makes me wonder what time they expect to get back. Great deal for students though.

game tracker link anyone?

zippyrifle32,Thank you for the reminder as to why I moved from Ohio. It's only Thanksgiving and the weather is like this already. That just blows.personally, I love it!

Hell has frozen over yet again and akron's favorite ignored program gets some press... in the akron hating ABJ no less!story

From my understanding (and by no means am I any kind of expert), although soccer games can be played on artificial turf, they really should be played on grass. I've been told that the last time they used artificial turf in the championship game was when we took second back in the 80's. Since this is the tournament, it seems the NCAA allowed the use of an artificial turf as an emergency use, but now that they have a few days to properly plan, they send it to the school with a grass field. I haven't seen the field first hand, but it must have been really bad conditions to not only call off the first game, but to tell the NCAA it won't be ready by Sunday. The issue is the draining, but like some others have said, this is not something that can be changed overnight. HOPEFULLY we win and the field gets the tlc it needs to be able to play the next game at home because WE EARNED IT.

i have a hard time that they are just sitting back and allowing this to happen. they probably don't have much of a choice and were given some lame ass excuse as to why we have to play there. oh and back by request (i saved it from before):

I was talking to a custodian last night at the bball game and he was telling me that up to 5:00 they were still trying to shovel and plow to get the field ready. He mentioned something about trying to plow actually tore up the field worse, so no, it's not that unbelievable. we were lucky we were able to keep it in akron. I'm also assuming they are still saying TBA to give them time to finalize a deal to rent a field.

He looked a bit awkward out on the floor, but I was really glad to see him get some quality minutes. He needs to work on stepping up and being more assertive with the ball. It appeared to me that he has the desire to be the player KD wants, but just needs more development.

I also feel the need to clarify. I don't think JD should stay nor do I think he should go. I trust whatever decision Mack makes. I just get tired of the extremes we do out here, praising one guy as a god after a good game and then saying he should be put back on scout team where he belongs after another. Then again, all of you out here are football experts, and honestly I don't know enough about the game to know the in depth details of what should be done strategy wise.

I was there. They were down at halftime by 4 points. Instead of coming out and getting fired up they were sloppy and the bonnies were hot. They gave up a tone of rebounds, fouls, and couldn't finish even on layups. They were down by 15 or 16 with a little less than 8 minutes to go. What impressed me was watching the turning point where they collectively said as a team "we're not going to go down like this" and mounted an impressive comeback. Kara became their go-to person and she turned into a beast. However, it was all too little too late. If they came out the second half like they did for the last 8 minutes, they would have crushed the bonnies. Also, they lost by 4 and 2 points were earned off a Kest technical. She said something to the ref about missing a call at our end then calling a tick-tack foul against us. I don't blame her because the refs were aweful on both ends. I think we could have pulled it out if the bonnies missed some free throws. I think I only saw one they missed in the whole second half.

They can't spell Special Teams either. Who's the Special Team's coach, fire Him! (I know its JD so he needs to fire himself). one game we're talking about how great the special teams are (block pat for 2pt safety?) and now they have a bad game and we're calling for the coach's job. we really are pathetic fans.

we've already played and beaten both teams, so no matter who the winner is we will have to beat them again. i'm routing for oakland. they didn't score as much on us.

So I went to Chick-fil-a last night. I saw two parking spots next together and was planning on taking one. Well the car in front of me conveniently took up both spots leaving me slightly annoyed and needing to park elsewhere. Three guys got out of the car and one of them was wearing a black MAC fleece that the league gives to athletes that participate in the MAC tournament. I parked and went in and one of the other guys was wearing a Can't State baseball sweatshirt with his number on it and everything. Well black fleece had a nasty bloodshot and bruised eye and was telling the cashier about how he got it. It turns out this guy was recently on the Jack Hanna show in New York and was boxed by a kangaroo. I chuckled to myself and thought "Ass beat by a kangaroo? Sounds about right"

For the majority of non-major sports, athletes have to initiate contact by sending them a letter of introduction and resume including athletic and academic achievements. If you sit around and wait for a coach to approach you, most likely you're still going to be waiting. Making a division-1 team is competitive, and athletes need to sell themselves.

michigan was 19-14 and went to the wnit quarterfinals last year. if that's a bottom dweller team than the big 10 is an amazing conference.

at least our field will get some time to recuperate

how does the #14 RPI, #16 nscaa/adidas ranked, #13 college soccer news ranked, Michigan State get the #4 seed above us? WTF?!

My favorite. I like the way the Akron Soccer sign goes with the face of defeat on the guy sitting infront of it.Ya I think I am gonna caption this one as "FAIL!" caption it and post it on the niu message board

GREAT pictures!

I thought the same thing.
