Yeah, same here. Do you know what was annoying me?This offsides rule.From the few times I have seen it called, I assume that you are not allowed to pass the ball into the box, it has to be dribbled into it?Wow, that just seems like a score killer.BTW, how would you like to be Jordan Graye today?That's got to feel miserable.I hope this helps. The mindset to begin with in understanding the rule it is that you can't be cherry picking. Here is what I found on the internet that was labeled as "Offside Rule easy to understand"???? When is a player called offside?A player, usually a striker, is called offside when he is nearer to the other team's goal than both the ball and the second last opponent. The second last opponent usually being the last defender from the opponent team, an offside occurs when the striker is closer to the opposing team's goal than that team's last defender. To put it simply, try to picture an imaginary line on Team A's last defender, a line parallel to the goal line (similar to the first down line on televised football games). If Team B's striker is over this line when his teammate passes the ball, then he is offside. If Team B's striker is on the same line as Team A's last defender (or under the line) then he is in a correct position. One more thing to look after in an offside: it doesn't matter if Team B's striker is over this line when he receives the ball. The moment to look after is the moment the midfielder passes the ball, which will trigger an offside if the striker is over the last defender line. Yeah, right ... what do you know?

Sounds like the Rowdies should have some fun with the UVA goalie ...From a post on a Wake message board ..."Just got back from Cary. I have never in my 53 years seen a poorer excuse for a "student-athlete" than the UVa goalie. He talked and taunted the fans behind his goal the entire match. Even if some fans were talking to him, it was no excuse for his behavior. I taught every player I ever had not to respond to fans in any way. Let your play on the field do your talking, and if that wasnt good enough, nothing else would be. Their goalie cursed fans, made obscene jestures, and generally acted like an ass. When his team won in OT, he immediately ran toward the fans, grabbed his crotch, made another obscene jesture, and yelled something. Only then did he head toward his celebrating teammates. What an embarrassment for what I thought was a fine university. At least in his case, I was wrong."Five of us are heading to Cary around 1PM this afternoon. Doing our best to help turn WakeMed into Lee Jackson South. What a ride - GO ZIPS!!!!!

UVA goal in 1st OTUVA advances 2-1 over Wake.Wake outplayed UVA ... come on Akron!

Wake goal at 69:42.UVA 1 Wake 1

UVA goal at about the 54:30 mark. 1-0 UVA

Wake vs. UVA were 0-0 at the half. Wake was on the attack most of the half. Interesting since UVA beat Wake twice this year (Wake didn't score in either match).Color analyst is definitely a UVA homer (played for them but never made the College Cup).ESPNU in Akron is channel 303 (at least in the Norton area).

+1

I'm going to get to my seats at the Info early a couple of years from now (maybe even mid-year next year?) so I can listen intently for the bells and sirens each time a former Zips fan/season ticket holder walks through one of the gates.LOVE the passion but I wish some on the board would give Wistrcil (3 months on the job) and now Ianello (... not even here yet) a little more (or a lot) benefit of the doubt.Welcome to Akron, Rob and Family! GO ZIPS!!!

It is time ... UNC ... ACC #2 ...

Just for comparison ... only 1522 in Winston-Salem, NC tonight to see Wake beat UCLA 2-0. 4-2-5-4 in Akron - OUTSTANDING!

Wake Forest advances to the Final Four for the fourth straight year, 2-0.

Still 2-0 Wake with around 4 minutes to go.Attendance for the UCLA/Wake match was ... 1522 ... vs. 4254 (or so) in Akron.

A thorough harass-kicking indeed! Shame on UA if they adopt a final soccer stadium plan that does NOT include harassment zones on BOTH ends of the field.

Can we get an emoticon for this?

The Akron at Texas A&M game Friday night (8PM ET) is being broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest for any of you who have access to it. I just called The Tap House and was told that Randy is going to order access to FS SW for a day if any of you are looking for a place to go watch the game.

A couple of unofficial '2010 Syracuse football schedule' sites show the game in Akron being played 9/18.

I too saw Wistrcil talking to the UAPB coaching staff as they exited the floor in what appeared to be an apologetic, assuring manner. Tom then seemed to head towards the UA locker room. Oh to be a fly on the wall in there!

I agree with the last couple of posts.I KNOW a million dollars would immediately benefit the new soccer stadium project and the soccer program itself. I DON'T know how quickly that same million will help us become bowl-eligible and beyond in football. I like JD personally but agree with most of you that it is probably time for a change. I'm not at all sure buying JD out of the last year of his contract is the best we can do with the kind of money it's going to take to do that and put the new coach and staff in place.

7 adult + 1 youth here. Let me know if any of you are interested.

I've got us pegged at about 4-0. GO ZIPS!!!

... and Can't got a good beat-down at Temple, 47-13. Ah yes, a basketball W and a Can't L in anything DO feel good!

Disappointing start to our double-header ... and now it looks like the Dayton/Nova game is going to run long on ESPNU ... but probably by not much more than a BG touchdown and field goal.

I like our seeding, especially the potential match-up against northwestern. DON'T like the 4PM start on Sunday. No way we can miss Thanksgiving Sunday at the in-laws (they hold it the Sunday before so we can spend a full day of Thanksgiving on each side of the family). Why couldn't WE get a 1PM start time like Tosu did?!? "Kyle" won't be able to attend the match but he's already plotting to have a handful of Rowdies kidnap him Sunday morning and return him safely sometime later that evening! Anybody know whether ZipsZone will have a live video/audio feed of the match?
