Big East or whatever. If we had a line up of Dambrot, Porter and Tresell and our facilities.......the skies are the limit. I have said this years ago.......get goood coaches, pay them and keep them.

Cmon folks, - Tressell means FILLED STADIUM, alumni excitement, better recruits, stability....CUT THE CHECK - just hiring him would get us so much pubilicity (like Faust). What is he going to do.......aspire to be the head coach at OSU? This is perfect. With our BBall rocking, national defending national champs in soccer,we would be a lock for the Big East.

We look bad at the start.

so is this game nationally televised? what time EST?

Won't this help? Visit My Website

With a brand new state of the art stadium, this is what we get. This is beyond embarrassing.

He is kicking off a block.......hopefully he can kick of the ground.

The NCAA because it means we have won the MAC Championship.

Do we have room??? From Top Drawer Soccer............. Despite finishing in a tie for second (behind AkronTop Drawer Soccer) in our chat audience poll asking who had the best incoming class, North Carolina has garnered the most Top 100 players with six. Jordan McCrary, Darvin Ebanks, Miguel Lopez, Ryan Dodson, Jon Ray and Cooper Vandermaas will all be donning the Carolina blue. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...igning-Day-news

Can we get any of UNC's recruits? They have some good ones.

Most of the players we lost were underclassmen (Kitchen a true freshman) so how much experience did we lose? It's the system and coach baby. Time to reload!! I said this years ago on a string about MAC football and the "cradle of coaches" tag.......A great coach and system will attract players and result in consistent WINS.

Since we have had two NFL'ers since I have followed the team, I don't buy it for an second. Derr & Alcorn. Both recruited to kick in the Rubber Bowl too. We actually had a string of great kickers in the 80s - Graham, Heckman, Klaus, Dombrowski...and they kicked in the Rubber Bowl.

That is what he is quoted as saying he wanted. What did KD say to make him believe that he could get that here. The actual selling points that brought him in. Better yet. Why not ask Caleb what he had done to attract the top recuiting CLASSES in the country.

Can you imagine the nightmare DHS would have it we hosted the World Cup?

I like where we are headed. Gotta make hay while the sun is shinin' - Zeke is great for recruiting.

Ironic that in the movie "More than a Game" Lebron criticized coach Dambrot when he left SVSM to take the job at UA. I believe he even said that he hated him for leaving them.

What we need is to keep Caleb and then the future looks extremely bright!!!!

I agree! Resume seems a little thin. In 1999, he was named one of the top-10 recruiters in the nation by ESPN.com and one of the top six recruiters nationally by Sporting News. I would think being a top 10 recruiter at Notre Dame would be a given. Not sure I get this hire if it is true....

Keep in mind Fear the Roo was essentially taken from The University of Maryland's "Fear the Turtle".........lets not get carried away.

How many years of eligibility does he have with us?

I want this one.

2,500 would be a VERY nice stadium. Our attendance is pretty good.2007 Numbers 2007 Soccer Attendance2008 Attendance Numbers2088 AttendanceSt Johns Stadium is roughly 2,300St. JohnsUniversity of Maryland - 4,500 seatingMarylandLouisville Soccer Stadium ;-)LouisvilleInfo on Indiana college soccer attendanceMen's Soccer Ranks Among National Leaders in AttendanceFeb. 22, 2006BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The seven time NCAA Champion Indiana men's soccer team continued to demonstrate itself as one of the top draws in college soccer. Last season, the Hoosiers ranked second in average attendance and third in total attendance in the attendance figures released by the NCAA. The Hoosiers also were involved in three of the top 10 attended games in college soccer during the 2005 season. "It is an honor for our guys to have the opportunity to play in front of such great crowds like we have at Indiana," Indiana head men's soccer coach Mike Frietag said. "Our players love to perform in front of our home fans. We have the best fans in the country. Not only are they loud and proud, but they are some of the most knowledgeable. Indiana soccer prides itself on its tradition and part of that tradition includes our great fan base." Every year since the NCAA began tracking men's soccer attendance in 2001, the IU program has ranked among the top three in at least one of the two categories and has never ranked lower than sixth in any category. Indiana led the nation in average attendance in 2004 and in total attendance in 2003. In 2005, along with New Mexico, IU topped the national record for average attendance. The Hoosiers and Lobos are the only two programs to ever average over 3,000 fans per contest during a season. Indiana drew 28,013 total attendance during the 2005 campaign, an average of 3,112 per match. The previous national record was 2,779 by Saint Louis in 2003. New Mexico led the country in both total (36,228) and average (3,629) attendance a year ago. Indiana ranked second in average attendance, while national champion Maryland was second in total attendance at 33,121. The Hoosier-Terrapin matchup, which was called the top contest of the college season by Soccer America, drew 6,203. The number was not only a school record for Maryland, but the top attended regular-season affair during the 2005 season. The contest ranked fourth overall behind both sessions of the College Cup and the quarterfinal matchup between Creighton and Clemson. Indiana drew two of the top crowds to Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium in 2005. The Nov. 3, 2005, matchup between then-No. 1 Akron and the Hoosiers was the seventh-largest crowd during the season with 4,884 fans in attendance.[/color] The Hoosiers handed the Zips their only loss of the season with a goal by Brian Plotkin five minutes into overtime. The crowd also was the sixth largest in school history. The Indiana-Penn State affair on Sept. 30, 2005, drew the ninth-largest single-game crowd of 2005 with 4,585 fans in attendance. The game was one of eight nationally televised on Fox Soccer Channel. The game also was the eighth-largest crowd in the history of the facility.

OUR BASKETBALL TEAM WILL BE RANKED IN THE TOP 20 WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS (will we be able to keep Coach Dambrot?)SOCCER WILL PLAY IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2 OF THE NEXT 3 YEARS.

Whooo Whooo Whooo.....nyuck...nyuck....nyuck!
