In most polls, they are #2 including the NSCAA and Top Drawer Soccer so this is effectively a matchup of #1 vs. #2 (again). Where the hell is College (Soccer) Gameday on ESPN for this? Tulsa has a good squad, including a couple of very good forwards in Austin Neil and Ashley McInnes who are their leading scorers. Their schedule has not been really tough so far (Seattle, Lipscomb, Western Illinois, SIU-Edwardsville and St. Louis and none of those teams are ranked) and they have Missouri State this evening. So I don't think they've been tested too much yet, but they still have a good team. They have been scored on in three of those five games so at worst I expect to have a 2-1 victory. Go Zips!

Those should be swapped at the very least. A few interesting things I noticed in the current MAC standings. Only two 0-3 teams (us and EMU, great). Toledo has beaten both WMU and Ohio to start off the MAC standings at 2-0. Temple is 3-0 (and beat CMU) and actually got a few "Others Receiving Votes" in both the coaches poll and writers poll. They take on Penn State this weekend so we'll get to see how far they've come. The Zips may be a lost cause this year but I'd like the rest of the MAC to make some kind of a showing this year. Wouldn't mind seeing Temple get ranked (at least until we play them). The MAC may be bad but if at least a couple teams rise above the rest, it is probably better for the conference as a whole as opposed to a 5-3 division "winner". At least until we can rise up again.

Not this week, baby! 10-4, woo-hoo!

I'm stumped. I have no idea whether to take this post seriously or not. Someone help me ...

The biggest surprise to me is Ampai rated #1. I think he is a very good player, but there was some discussion about the level of his game being elevated last year because of Gavin and Zemanski. I'd have no problem at all if he was our second straight Hermann winner.

Ttile IX is federal law. You're not getting out of that one unless you don't wish to accept any more federal funding. That includes grants.

To add insult to injury, anyone know how much we padi GW to come in and do that? I'm assuming this was a buy game.

I think the guys suck it up a little after their embarrassment last week. They won't win but they won't look completely pathetic. 38-14.

Maryland. Gut wrenching loss to them in the 2005 quarterfinals. I'd like to see the rematch now.

Makes no sense. If he isn't going to play at WR, he could actually be an all-MAC talent back at safety. Wonder if we'll see him heading back there soon?

And that's what we have to look forward to with the football team right now. "They are what we thought they were." At least for those of us that enjoy the soccer team, it is still great. Hopefully football comes back someday sooner than later. (sigh)

A bigger question there might be would Villanova want the MAC. No chance. If they have an invite from a conference they are already in that is a BCS conference why would they make the same investments they'd have to make for the Big East to join the worst (or at best second worst) conference in the FCS?

At least we didn't have the worst loss to an FCS team today. Virginia Tech fell to James Madison 21-16.

Well that's how the GoZips.com title ought be to anyway.

8 straight shutouts - amazing.

Outstanding - welcome to 0-4 with a legitimate shot at 0-12. On the bright side we might be #1 (on the ESPN Bottom 10 list). I hate when "wait til next year" comes this early.

Wow, 31-31 with four minutes left. Man, I hope Brevard turns out to be a juggernaut.

Man, what a weapon he is as a defender. Incredible player. Can't see him staying after this year, so good to see him giving it all for one more shot at glory.

Zips and Falcons tied 0-0 30 minutes in, the Zips have 12 shots (5 on goal) while BGSU has one. I would imagine BG is packing everyone back and hoping for that one lucky goal.

It means that there will be two games like last year and two others. The four teams ranked the lowest will play in two games (say 65 vs 68 and 66 vs 67) for the right to play a couple of #1 seeds. There will also be two games with the lowest at-large teams teams playing each other, so say two games for #12 seeds play each other for the right to play a #5. Effectively there would be six #12's and six #16's in the tournament.

41-0 Zips. That's the standard set last year for playing an FCS team at home.

The best part of all is at the end. Man, did we get lucky landing him. I still can't believe we're talking about the Zips.

I already bought mine with the plan to sell them on StubHub if the Zips don't make it, but with the size of that stadium, I may not be able to do so. I also looked at the stadium layout, doesn't look like there are too many seats behind the team benches. UCSB Stadium

Actually only been to 1, the Ball State game two years ago. But I fortuitously sat next to JohnnyZip84 so it wasn't so bad.

I am so annoyed that I was IN North Carolina and couldn't make it to the game. Wow, knocking off the "other" #1 team at their place 3-0, that's impressive. Let's take it to Wake!
