Shot by Dershang just clears crossbar. IU looking much sharper in the 2nd half.

A corner apiece in the 2nd half. Still 1-0 Akron.

Again, per Paul Warner's tweets, Akron dominated possession with most of the play in IU's backfield.

Akron up 1-0 at the half. Dodged a bullet with about 2 minutes to go as IU hit the post.

One yellow card apiece (Trapp for Akron).

Any Blue Jay fans want to chime in? No? Didn't think so. Creighton has a very good team and an absolutely gorgeous facility. Bummer we got screwed tonight. LOVE what I saw out there. Controlled both OTs and quite a bit of regulation. Creighton's goal was a clean-up of sorts off of a deflection and that's just the way the soccer ball bounces. Beautiful cross by Yedlin and a great redirect header from a tough angle by Koroma. Great effort tonight ZIPS!!!! Very much looking forward to the rest of the season. NO LET-DOWN SUNDAY!!!

Sent Caleb a 'Congrats and Thank You' email yesterday and copied Tom Wistrcill. Stressed in that email that Caleb absolutely should be involved in the search process. I like the direction we're headed and would be very happy if they found a Caleb Porter Jr..

Caleb - we appreciate and enjoy your ... - character - values - high standards and expectations - ability to recruit with the best of them - elegant, effective, and disciplined style of play - positive results on the field, in the classroom, and beyond - family embracing Akron and making it your home We would like more of what we've grown accustomed to under your leadership. Who are the top 5 or so people YOU would consider if you had to replace yourself?

I don't think I'm going to 'Like' this ...

Defending 2011 Atlantic Sun Conference champion Florida Gulf Coast University visits Akron Friday, 8/24, at 7:30PM to kick off the 2011 men's soccer season. FGCU Men's Soccer THIS IS AKRON - LET'S GO ZIPS!!!

A ticket will be required for the women's game as well. Ticket office will have people working each gate of the women's game.

I really shouldn't have read that article ...

Not a ticketed event so there's a good chance there won't be anybody at the gates watching for umbrellas!

I need a breather and think I'll head over to the Zips soccer/Caleb Porter threads. "This is Akron!"

BobcatAttack JC thread

Still holding nose after rooting for OU. Let's see ... big-time missed bunny and a free throw in the second half. About all you need to finish it out in regulation. The little things... . Have to clean that stuff up to win the games that matter. Congrats to OU on a nice run. Brinks truck pulling into Groce's driveway in 5...4...3.....

Lehigh up by 5 over Duke on CBS with less than a minute to go. Norfolk State, OU, and possibly Lehigh. Man I hate not dancing on a neutral court ...

(Holding my nose as I type this) Gotta hand it to OU ... two years ago and again this year they W-I-N a game that really matters.
