It's because I think we'll go 2-10. At this point, I don't know if we would win 2 games the rest of the way against a purely I-AA schedule. I guess that is pretty much what the MAC is, but still...WMU, Temple, Ball State, Miami, Buffalo? Any other year I'd say we should win 3 of 5, but not this season. The good part is that there won't be anyone at the final two home games to witness the debauchery. What are the chances that iCoach will resign?

suspend head-hunting harrison. the NFL's mandatory removal of the game of Cribbs and Massaquoi rewards helmet to helmet headhunting and it's really stupid. I understand the safety issues with concussions, but we already have pink-skirt rules in the NFL anyway. Harrisson should have been flagged on the first shot on cribbs, and ejected for the second shot. Two players removed from the game because of that crap. Would you really have expected anything less from a Can't State alum?

This is embarrassing. I can't wait to read the Captain's review.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ken Lolla and the University of Louisville worry me. If we have to play them, I hope it's at home.

The "Gorilla" right now is more like Godzilla.

Good points, but punctuation would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I would rather play for a I-AA National Championship on the field than get drilled by BCS scum under the illusion that we are on their same level. Boise St. is an enigma in competing for a national championship outside of the BCS just like our men's soccer team. We should embrace it for what it is and be thankful that our soccer team is as competitive as it is. The MAC, WAC, and Sunbelt have no chance of competing with the BCS schools. EVER. I would much rather see us drop to I-AA than continuing to pretend we are on OSWho's level in football. It brands our university as wannabe's and perenial losers. Imagine how the BCS schools would kick the crap out of each other if they didn't have four creampuff games per year as a "preseason" schedule before starting their conference games. That being said, there is no shame in being I-AA particularly if the other two conferences I mentioned dropped with us. Hell, C-USA isn't any good and should likely drop as well. The Mountain West is even only borderline BCS. There needs to be some major leadership among the non-BCS schools to stick together and create a more fair level of college football. I respect I-AA a lot more because the champion is determined on the field.

Literally, LOL. Beautiful. This needs trademarked before Apple gets a hold of it.

I agree with everything....basically....and I've been posting it for a while. At this point, they shouldn't do it alone. The non-bcs schools/conferences need to find a way out of the mess the vast majority of them are in. They all need to get together and form their own division. How much more does everyone need to see? The game is over. 20 more years? Please..... IF the non-bcs schools/conferences can't do something in the next two years, then UofA needs to act unilaterally. OR, the MAC needs to act with the membership to make a move to I-AA. Two more years after this year is all they get. Enough is enough. Another division or I-AA are the choices. +1

Unfortunately, the wheels have fallen off this season and we're stuck watching the rest of the season wondering which of the remaining teams on the schedule will happen to play worse than us and land us a lucky victory. The answer: NONE. If we aren't able to beat a I-AA team at home and a miserable Can't squad, we won't be lucky with any other games. Flat out, we deserve 0-12. I think on offense, we should run three straight kneeldown plays to keep the clock running, rest the defense, and prevent turnovers and penalties, then punt. The last game may have gone more in our favor this way.

I floated this question. At the time and after losing to a I-AA, I was being quite serious although most members didn't take it that way. The UK and IU games lead me to believe the team had made some progress. I now seriously doubt that progress and see 0-12 on the wall. Sadly, the Info will be empty. Thank Porter for soccer!

I was just going to point that out.

Glad to have your family join ours. We look forward to watching DeAndre grow as a person and player while contributing on the pitch for the next few years. Go Zips! I'd like to add that we are also a university. So I look forward to his intellectual growth as well.

At the rate we are going, it could be ten years. I'm not over exaggerating either. I can't see myself actually giving a crap more than two more years at this rate. It's just terrible. I love UofA, but I just can't take watching/following this football team much more. I've bee debating the past couple of years about what I should put my money towards at UofA. I don't see how my hard earned money given to the football program/athletic department is anything more than throwing good money down a hole. There are lots of causes at UofA I could give my money to. I'm going to have to start looking around. Have a nice evening. A picture says a thousand words. In this case, a portrait of trimmy10 and GP1. I need not say more.

WTF?! Crazy. I bet Coach Porter is fuming. At least we have OT to take this one back.

7,000+ fans at this game. Wow!

Whoever thought to add Simon Spelling as color commentator, kudos! The accent adds a lot to the listening experience, and he offers good insight.

So the question becomes, will OSWho try to pack it in and hold on for the 1-0 victory or continuing to attack? I'm guessing that as the game continues, there will be a progressive trend toward the former. We are simply to good for most teams to play an open game against us for 90 minutes.

Would love to beat the quitter in the tourney. I wouldn't say he was a quitter. He was a good coach that elevated the program and is partly responsible for where we are now. He left because he didn't think he could compete for a National Championship at Akron. He was wrong and I'd love to prove his theory wrong by beating Louisville on the road to becoming Louisville is a match-up that really interests me because they are a big name school, and we trail in the all-time series with them 0-2-1.

They are up to #6 in the CSN poll, and I think they are dangerous for us in the Tournament.

Such students should be ridiculed to the point of embarrassment for wearing other school's gear on campus. It always happens with the freshman wearing their high school letterman's jackets to college. Other universities' gear should be no different. Poni is right, it is discouraging to see such things.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page10040.htm Don't forget to read the conclusion on the second page! http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page8500.htm I didn't think it was possible for us to be better than we were last year, but I think we are. Here's to hoping I didn't just jinx us for OSWho tomorrow night,

I totally disagree. Keeping IU on their toes is what allows the game to open up. Making such a call is fun for the players, and they'll play best when having fun. I know, he dropped it. Big deal! If he had made the catch, you'd be saying what a great call it was! The play call also demonstrates to everyone that you're playing to win, and I personally love that. No picking up the check and walking away with your tail between your legs. While I was critical of the coaching staff after the loss to GW, the past two weeks have shown steady improvement. Keep it up! I don't expect to win the MAC East because Temple is too good. NIU is also a likely loss, but 6-6 isn't out of the question. 4-8 is more likely though.

Speaking of TV, does anyone have an online link for those of us out of the city/state/country? http://atdhe.net/tv/watch_fox_soccer_channel.html ? It didn't work for me. Any thoughts?

A late Rodgers-to-Russell TD caps the improbable comeback. Porter had to think he had this one in the bag? The difference, though, was that Porter backed off in the first game. I don't think iCoach did that against UK.

Why am I thinking that a picture from Major League of Randy Quaid and those two other guys in the bleachers would be appropriate here? If going, I think I'd be more cynical than supportive. Hey look, it's trimmy10 and GP1:
