Teams that have not played us before and might have trouble adapting to our style of play. Warm-weather schools that have lots of recruits from countries near the equator. PATH OF LEAST RESISTENCE!!!

Northwestern goes down in flames 3-0 at home to Michigan. Michigan State over 'big ten champs' and #1 seed Penn State 3-1. Michigan vs Michigan State in Evanston, IL @ 1p ET on Sunday. big ten network is carrying the match.

Northwestern over tosu 2-0. 11/9 @ Noon CT Penn State vs Michigan State 11/9 @ 2:30p CT NWU vs Michigan

UCLA beats Stanford 2-1 in 2OT.

Thanks for the update GoZips. Your 'hearsay' is some of the best out there! ;-)

Love the "Big Ten Champ" discussion during the NW/IU match - "Northwestern is here to win a Big Ten Championship!" Yeah ... right. Pretty sure @ 5-nil that one goes to AKRON!!!

1-0 final. big ten champs ... again.

Wow ... very Presidential of you BHO. Glad to hear game time is back to 7p.

Makes my head spin! Sure glad we simply took care of business well in advance and get to host the tourney yet again. Would prefer to see NIU stay home. Do NOT like their style of play and do NOT want to lose anyone for our run to Alabama. I firmly believe we win it all in 2009 without the injuries to Nanchoff and Ampaipitakwong. Pull any three names out of the hat and two of those become Victim 1 and Victim 2 on our road to the College Cup in early-December.

I feel like I'm watching the Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals. Any reason why this shouldn't end up 3- or 4-0?

Video feed. Working well for me. 1-0 Akron already!

USF dominating possession but Lou-EE-ville nets first goal on a nice header in the 26th minute. Wow.

#21 Louisville at South Florida on ESPNU right now. 0-0 in the 14th minute.

I thing TB and the rest of the coaches are doing an outstanding job with what they were left to work with and those they were able to bring in on short notice. Injuries are just part of the game and it's too bad that a number of guys who were making a difference and showing a lot of promise are on the sidelines due to injury. After the last couple of years in particular, I'm ecstatic that I've been able to watch every game from start to finish and find it entertaining for the most part. Could we have won another game here or there so far? Yeah, I suppose. No big deal as far as I'm concerned. This year is a mulligan. We're going to be fine going forward - GO ZIPS!!!!

Maisonneuve bio - Louisville Cardinal men's soccer assistant coach. Sure seems to have the resume for the job. Don't really know anything about his people skills or coaching philosophy/style.

I would check Akron's stream from MAC-Sports.com. I believe the game will be there if ESPN decides not to carry it.

Bardo? Is that really you Mike?

I hope Zach D'Orazio is OK. Congrats Akron on a very nice effort in Knoxville. Can't wait for MAC play to begin next Saturday vs. Miami. Go Zips!!!

A shame Williams isn't playing at full strength. I wonder if he has 3 INTs if healthy. A bummer but I'm still having a blast tonight.

Chuck "The Chest" Amato!

Sure hope our D has enough left in the tank. Time of possession after three quarters favored Akron by 2 minutes. Thank you offense for helping to keep our D off of the field.

Ladies and gentlemen, we look like a football team again!!!

Damn it!!! Thank you! (Looks like blackmail to me ... just checked and my original post has it spelled correctly ;-)

Potential recruits - B-E-L-I-E-V-E !!!!!!!

.... man this is fun!
