Looking like Kalamazoo for November 10th MAC tourney....IMHO. Hope I am wrong, don’t wanna make the drive and spend the weekend.

I was down in Sarasota two weeks ago and drove over to IMG Academy, and you are right....it is Corporate Soccer City. Where the best (that can afford it) are in a resort like atmosphere with facilities out the ying yang. But it’s not thestreet kids there, it’s all the club kids who’s parents have been able to spend lavishly on travel clubs since they were 5years old, camps every season and off season, tournaments around the world, and coaches and tutors to help with soccer and school. Mostly so they wiwll meet the right contacts to get them in the right schools and the right ODP programs. Not looking for the “organic” kids like fknbuflobo says. Don’t get me wrong, IMG does produce good kids and players, but it’s rare to see an inner-city kid down there for anythng but basketball, and they give scholarships.

Right now their schedule for 1:00 pm tomorrow shows a live auto race from noon until 2 and then live Pro Bull Riding from Raleigh NC fro 2 until 4:30....we can hope?

My guess is no...CBS won’t mess with their NFL games even on their SN. ESPN not contracted....ray-dee-oh and Stat Trac....

Pittsburgh beats ND tonight....Sam Gainford on the pitch for the clean up time, looked kinda stiff and not really match fit, but still a positive sign. Nick Hinds also plays almost the enitre second half, so may be the mending needed is taking place? Lots of juicy tidbits fro Friday the 13th! And there's always the annual Soctoberfest to look forward to on the 21st!

IMHO CP got a bum's rap, mainly from Jurgen after the Olympic team failure to qualify, but I am/was too close to the situation with his tenure at the U. Gulati is an ass, and until he is sent packing by the Directors or resigns, things will stay the same. I'd love to think Caleb is to be considered, but not by the current regime....

Thank you Mr. Brachna. ?

And you can have a "bad" result....or the manager just resigned to the fact, say "at least we got a result" leading by a goal and giving up the equalizer in the closing moments or stoppage time....being an arsenal fan, fknbuflobo can relate to that the past few years! BTW, my conversion from Gooner to a Kopite isn't quite working out the way I anticipated....but at least I'm not constantly screaming at the telly about Wenger and the despised Kroenke!!!

Saw that Chris Korb played all 90 in Columbus two weekends ago for DC....

What's your gut feel for tomorrow night? I was hoping Cleve St. game would be a tune up but looks like Jared gave the reserves more time to rest some of the bigs. Maybe I'm wrong. I was just hoping a little play time might shake off any doubts from the WMU game.

Me too! A lot...

You might question “the track star” K92 but he has scored TDs...maybe not best hands...yet...but ge gets open for long balls when needed...can’t teach - or coach - speed, I think I’ve heard great coaches say.

I had the same question...and same reaction to f-ing U.S. score!

This would have felt better than sitting through yesterday's debacle 5-0 loss to OU

Kreed's probably right. We've got two Tuesday night games in November that will sorely impact attendance.

Yet watching them yesterday before our game, against EMU (albeit a very good defense), they didn't look unbeatable...

C'mon Doc! What the heck.....some of us are 65 and not calling it quits....yet!

Hope you’re right partner, but the NCAA also could care less about “little conferences” for more than 1 team, you know and have seen that happen time and time again.

Women’s Swimming and Diving started Friday with a total drubbing of Youngstown State. Not a true test but a nice start. S&D should chase #5 MAC title. Madison Myers just gets better and will possibly be National candidate. The Vargas “sisters” (no relation!) looked good, as did Sadie Fazekas and Paloma Marrero. Vic Shaffer will be back by Zippy Invite in December. Lots of newcomers too that will challenge vets. Diving may be down. Good things ahead...

Always a rough physical match at WMU, even at Cub Cadet. Felt like we had lots of momentum coming in here, Wind was tough to deal with, but no excuses. Winner of MAC tournament now is only team to go to the NCAAs.

I liked what I saw, and also am going to bed happy. The running game by committee worked well, except Van Edwards seemed the weakest in his reps. I thought Thomas did well today, although the first few series he really got away with a few that maybe/shoulda been intercepted. But then he did a good job. I had my binocs on him most of the game and he seemed to be more confident and didn't throw any tantrums. I disagree with some about Kwads. Maybe not the best route runner but with that speed and with Thomas' arm, I see lots of TDs ahead for these two. Andrew Hauser was the defensive player of the game, by far! He had a million tackles. was everywhere out there. It was nice to see the insertion of Kato as a change of pace but Thomas was having a solid game, and came back in strong. But here is the GREATEST news....no turnovers. Zero, nada, zilch. And secondly....no meaningful penalties. a 5 yarder for offsides on #75 that didn't hurt as the Zips scored a few plays later, and a block in the back on an interception return. I mean, doesn't that impress anyone else on this board?? And the slant passes were excellent calls and well executed as well. I know the haters are gonna hate and tell me that none of this matters because Ball State was a bad team....but it's still the best I've felt leaving Info in a while....Good night, sleep tight, don't let the b**chers bite.

Just thinking a little about this on a plane flight home Friday...don’t know if it has been mentioned before and if so, sorry. Should we believe Addidas was the only company doing this? Nike, UnderArmour clean hands? Could one of the competitors be the original tipster on this scandal, with tons to gain from Addidas’ plight?

An Ohio Stater involved in rape and kidnapping??? What???? Or is this just a re-post of last year, and the previous year, and the previous year, and the previous year, and the....do I have to keep typing?

Enough said after last night's debacle at Kent State Still Sucks...

Confident from last week, Zips to step up at home and pull away at end. Defense will pull in a couple of Interceptions as BSU try to catch up. Zip offense will be more pass happy without Ball and with a less rusty Thomas with healthier receiving corp.
