Absolutely cannot stand De La Rosa. The punk from the Bronx displaces or fouls every time he calls for the ball. A good measure of flopping and other theatrics mixed in there too. Looks for opportunities to talk smack and take cheap shots when ball is not in play. Definitely a Can't-type-player hall of famer.
The win tonight felt R-E-A-L-L-Y good - great job players and staff. Punch that ticket Monday night so we can mess with tourney hopefuls in Cleveland!
+1 Nailed it.
Bowden and Milwee need to make like the Chinese and steal what the best offensive programs are doing. We may not have the horses at times to pull it off as well as the better programs do but can we at least look the part on offense game in and game out?
Nope. Done with small schools. Like the schedule so far this year but passing on this one. Will be half-watching on ESPN3 with Frenchy and Joe in the background.
3 votes here for the Barbeaus - one each for smile, eyes and well ... .
Any idea why there was only a single announcement over the PA system at last night's men's basketball game regarding Zip soccer Friday night? Nothing on the large video boards of any kind and only the single mention that I recall. This team is two wins away from another National Championship and it gets "Oh, by the way ..." mention like that?
Ramart or Kelley please (after MANY attempts to craft a post regarding our QB situation and what I observed in Detroit yesterday). +1 to Clark's 'problem parents' post above.
I'd just head to Detroit and buy the $20 tickets at the venue. Can't remember which section is the 'Akron section' but the box office people ought to be able to help with that. Huge stadium = plenty of tix available including in or near the Akron fans. Go Zips!
Akron had a nice recovery to the bad start. The seeding was fair as I would have ranked L ahead of UA too. Porter and Embick have done a nice job of scheduling up including highly-ranked teams at home. Tough to schedule to the level of an ACC schedule; the ACC is an excellent soccer conference.
We've played very well down the stretch. Time to head to L and bring home the W - GO ZIPS!!!
Current forecast has temps in the mid-40s, dry, and manageable wind (10 or so). Looking forward to a great Saturday doubleheader - men's NCAA tourney soccer followed by men's basketball on the tube from Dayton. Go Zips!
All good. Have had season tix in the lower and upper chairbacks in the past. Enjoy kicking back in the bleachers at $2 per sit bone per game (can't beat it). Looking forward to an arena someday where all seats are chairback; will pony back up then.
My problem is the fanny experience. I swear the sit-bone indentations on the bleachers where I'm sitting are the ones I put there back in the OVC years '83-'88. I'll take Fenway-style scoring and stats if I can get more blue chairbacks! ;-)
Might have been a halftime or timeout quick display. I specifically recall my son pointing out that no Akron player was in any kind of foul trouble fairly deep into the game.
