Have to admit the offense looks quicker and more creative tonight.

... and Kato shoots his mouth off again.

Field goals aren't going to win this folks.

Yes, 1p.

WMU gets the 10 seed

VERY happy with the 5 seed. Great finish to the season after a rough start out west.

Anyone have a link to the selection show broadcast on ncaa.com? I see the banner for the selection show on the men's soccer home page but don't see an actual link to the broadcast.

I know. KSU found a way to put 17 points on the board. Would have to go back to see how many of those points were a gift from Miami.

I ALWAYS expect a win over rival KSU. They have struggled to score points all year. Even banged up and clueless on offense (Milwee) we should beat them handily at our place. We're leaking oil again heading into MAC title and bowl season. We'll be lucky to play in Detroit (beat OU to get there? Doubt it) and we'll probably be fed what's left of the bowls (doubt we have enough to compete well there). We're on the same page though I may be more optimistic than you regarding the KSU game.

This pretty much sums it up for me. Looking like 6-6 and that's an apathetic 'meh ...' for me this far into Bowden's tenure. I was hoping for and expecting more than another bowl of potatoes.

May the Redhawks and Bobkitties beat the hell out of each other in a rivalry game next Tuesday night. Go Redhawks ...Go Zips!

Nope, but absolute lack of discipline on Akron's part might.

Very happy with the win (a nod to CK). Nice effort in the final 15 minutes as mentioned above; kept the pressure on ND. I would not have awarded the 2nd PK; contact appeared to be just outside of the box. Still not happy about the loss at Western but beating ND helps.

... OK with me if the 'Let go Milwee' talk continues.

"Chad Welker ... paging Chad Welker. Please report to the JAR video production command center, STAT!"

... WMU live video and stat tracker not working or is it just me? Have tried two different browsers with same result. MACtastic ...

Very nice win over a physical Hartwi...Syracuse squad. Great job Zips!

Nice feed from Syracuse. Syracuse really pressing Akron. Constant pressure on the ball. Most of the play so far in the Akron third.

Sorry. The end doesn't justify the means for me. Yelling, screaming, throwing clipboards, berating players and referees aren't my style. Just a difference of opinion.

Groce's demeanor reminds me too much of Hipsher. You're coaching a group of guys playing a GAME Groce - it's NOT Life or Death! Give that vein that's popping out on the side of your head a break! No thanks. Next ...

I don't believe we would have needed the auto bid in the recent past. Pretty sure strength of schedule, outside of the MAC, and results would have garnered selection. Nice safety net though in a 'down' year.

Will slow the bleeding at Buffalo but won't stop it as long as the NCAA requires 16 sports and the MAC requires the elephant in the room - football. There just isn't enough endowment, fan intere$t, private/corporate donation, TV revenue and licensing revenue to sustain the required level of athletic spending at the vast majority of D1 institutions.

I just absolutely don't know what to say. College sports financing is completely out of control. I guess the days of the Phys Ed teacher also coaching men's and women's basketball are pretty much over, correct?

Thank you skip. Well said.

Clark - You're damn right our defense needs work, a LOT of it, if we win 100-98 ... oh, sorry. kreed - I think a lot of us are tired of winning as in I just beat my 5-year-old (Malone, Coppin State, etc.) at checkers for the 137th time straight! We're ready and HAVE been ready to beat Nevada at home, Kent in Cleveland for a chance to Dance, Northwestern and Ohio State in the NIT, Notre Dame in March Madness, Miami and Bowling Green down the stretch to put ourselves in the best position to at least sniff an At-Large bid. No question - we won A LOT but we didn't win enough when it mattered. Lots of reasons for that but something wasn't working.
