One of my first wet dreams had Elizabeth Montgomery in it. She was HOT!

The Big East is not in our near future BUT could we dip our toe in the water and have the soccer team join (i.e. Temple football)? Does it have to be all or nothing?

Next up for auction will be 2008 Northwestern Soccer Highlight Video.

I am as pissed as anyone BUT I am failing to understand why the NCAA would have any bias for NW - There is no attendance bump, Akron Soccer is much more prestigious than NW, we have higher profile players and a much better soccer pedigree. I could understand if this was football and there was a 50K+ bump in attendance and increased interest but that is not the case here. I want to be pissed at someone but I am not so sure it is the NCAA................I just hope Caleb stays.

I hope this does not cost us another Head Coach~

I have not read all the posts but I love this topic. When you have a great coach...........do what you have to do to keep him! The MAC has the reputation as being the "cradle of coaches" F that!Good coaches are the key and have been the foundation to every successful program you see on T.V. today. - Penn St was nothing before Paterno, Fla State was nothing before Bowden, Greg Schiano is making it happen at Rutgers (until JoePa retires) - in basketball it is exponential.I was hoping J.D. was the hot young coach to move us up and was ready to campaign to keep him at all cost but I have to say the new stadium is a nice line in the sand to make a change if we do not atleast win the MAC east.Unrelated to Zip FBall..........we have K.D. and I hope we do everything we can to match ANY offer he might get.

He is good......Rank School Prev.

I know this is a bit picky but I would like to see the player's wearing their jerseys for the roster pictures. It looks much better than some of the outfits these guys come up with. At least make them all wear a blue and gold tie.Go ahead and rip me.....

I hear what you're saying about ND's incredible "poll buoyancy" Cap'n, but they DID beat Duke 4-1 the day after the 3-0 Zip win. Hey, I guess we should oot for them to stay highly ranked. This way, come NCAA tourney seeding/selection, it will go down as a true, undeniable quality win.Good point Johnnyzip. I am actually happy with the jump we took and I think it showed a lot of respect for our program. I agree with MDZip above also.....BC moves up to #2 in the polls going 1-1-0 to unranked teams?? How about SMU jumping 10 spots after beating Old Dominion (has not scored a goal in last 3 games) and UVA (who are usually good but unranked) Folks, it sounds as if you are not familiar with the history of the NSCAA poll. There are unwritten rules about voting. As I recall, all voters must select at least four schools from New England, including two Ivy League schools, (where did Brown go to? -- they were in the top-10), along with four ACC schools, and must place either Indiana or Notre Dame in the top-10, or else a minimum of two Big-Ten schools.. That along with either UCLA or Ohio State in the top-10, and something about the ratio of Big Ten to Missouri Vallry teams, ensuring that either St Louis, Creighton or SMU is in the top-5, or two of these make the top-10. Are therre any Billiken fans out there? If so, please tell us what a Billiken is. I think Indiana had more kids from St Louis than St Louis has. How about Will Bruin -- is he the best freshman in America? Our #5 ranking is fair for us.....if we keep winning-I never want to see it drop. Screw the rest of em' - This will be our first National Championship team.

Did Gary Pride see the field?

Great Job Boys, stay focused! BEAT IU! ZNation - This may be our first National Championship team (bball next....... Hi Zeke! -) We just shut out #3, need to beat IU, with our rep-TOP 5 is guaranteed. Next.........run the MAC, possible #1 ranking in our reach. We need to make a SICK home field advantage for these guys. P.S. - Mr. Taylor - it would take a tiny amount of $ to build the NCAAs best soccer atmosphere right next to your football stadium

This topic is about the WELL DESERVED soccer stadium for our elite soccer team and Caleb. Congrats Caleb and team, this should further progress the soccer program and get us to our first National Championship. I am anxious to see the real plans for the stadium.Maybe someone should start a separate thread on a baseball stadium...

I would like to see the Ohio women's basketball team wear them.....

Proenza is the man

What a peckerhead

I have done a few searches and nothing comes up. Anyone know where he is?

Oh no, he is from Florida! Sorry, I could not resist. Looks to be a great pick up and interest from quality schools - nice grab J.D.

I am still here big boy, you should be flattered I am still acknowledging you. The discussion was not about our recent Florida recruits. The discussion was....(Lets back up a second)....the post you made specifically about the character and culture of kids from Florida. You simply made a general/vague/stereotypical/racist remark about players from Florida that is - STUPID. Then your reply was that I do not know about a lockeroom because I have never played college football - WRONG. Now you are presenting.......wait a minute........COLD HARD FACTS by conveniently pulling 8-10 ZIP players from recent memory that you would like to use as an example to represent the State of Florida to support your point (of course you left out the good ones). When a few other Zip players were mentioned by zipboy you then turned to JD inherited......blah blah blah. BUT THEN you still followed up by your same STUPID So you bring us back to where we started and the same stupid comment about character of kids from the state of Florida. There is a reason you hear crickets chirping........ I will keep responding when I have a chance. I cant wait to see what you are going to dig up next.

And no kids from Hawaii - they would just want to do the Hula in the lockeroom.......a terrible distraction.

What kind of comment is that? So outside of Florida you can put talent above character?No, you just have to look much more closely at character when it comes to a Florida kid, and if there are any red flags at all, you pass. It's just a different culture many of the kids from down there are raised in, and it often doesn't mesh well at all with Ohio and Pennsylvania kids. Anyone who has ever been involved with college football knows what I'm talking about.Seriously, that has to be one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen here. You've obviously never been on a college football team and know nothing about locker room chemistry and the problems that can occur when you throw kids from Florida, who for whatever reason nobody closer to home wanted, in with Midwestern kids. Almost every single kid JD has gone down to Florida to get has been a problem and most of them have quit, packed up their bags, and left.Actually - I was a Zip football player on scholarship and from the south. I started for three years, got my degree in 4 and was never an issue in the lockeroom- so I take exception to your contentious/stereotypical remarks. I do however remember a few guys on our team from the midwest that had issues and created problems in the locker room. A few were even from OHIO :blink: I do agree that character should play a major role in deciding on a high school player. I also think that should be the case for any player you recruit.......even kids from the great state of ohio.

Nobody answered the question I asked earlier, perhaps it is stupid but I am curious for an unbiased answer...........
