    Finally 2-0! Goal by Holthusen, assisted by Egbo and Joao Moutinho. 30 minutes remaining.

    Still 1-0 under 55 minutes in. #SeniorNight and I can't stay awake watching.

    WOW! Sammy. That was some blast into the upper left from just outside the box. Didn't think that had a chance...BEFORE he blasted it! 1-0 AKRON!

    Question: How do you get "seated" in the area around the visitors' bench -- are those visitor VIP tix? See several people on blackets wearing red NIU gear. Behind the ad boards. Now that I notice, there are people at the other end too. Are those high-end tix? lol

    I will be watching...IF the game is available...but I don't see it listed on WatchESPN. Going to GoZips.com for a link... Fingers crossed. Edit: Okay, found the link. We're ready to go, I hope.

    I was going to appoint Ham to "bring home the bacon", but...too clichéd? your call.

    From the few scans of the stands by ESPN2 during tonight's NIU @ Toledo game, it didn't appear there were even 10k fans at the Glass Bowl for the biggest game of the year. Not sure how they will spin it in the stats. Of course it was raining hard too...

    If anyone watches the replay -- I have been too busy -- the field surface looked like it was covered in ice crystals. It sure reconfirmed my decision to relocate to the Central Pacific. I only wish I could see this team in person, and in warmth. They are playing with the greatest confidence of any Zips team in years. With the exception of some ill-timed passes early in the thermally-challenged first-half, the team was in complete control and Marshall lacked the skill to compete that WMU will bring to the(ir) pitch next week. I'm confident Jared will have them, ready for battle, though. And for another title!

    Hmmmmm... I got THAT guy for MAC OPOY!

    Marshall's GK makes another great save on...Hines this time? Nearing the finish...
  11. Z.I.P.
    Weird second goal...Skye Harter appears to get it over the line, but little celebration...Ref pointed to the center circle. Everyone is ready to get to the warmth of indoors...
  12. Z.I.P.
    Great stop by Marshall's keeper prevents Egbo from making it 2-nil. 13:00 to play. Finish!
  13. Z.I.P.
    Well, didn't see the call, but Stewie H. just put away a PK for Akron. 1-0. Phhewww! 24 minutes remaining.
  14. Z.I.P.
    No ice or snow according to Zips Social media, but getting to be more like monsoon conditions from the look of it!
  15. Z.I.P.
    Yellow card on Marshall for a forearm shiver to...Kahsay? Fouls: 8-2 Marshall the majority of "gives". Shots 3-3?
  16. Z.I.P.
    Announcers won't say the conditions, but I wouldn't want to be out in it! The Zips are not playing well tonight. Ten minutes left in the half, and except for a blast high by Gainford, no real attack. Need energy.
  17. Z.I.P.
    From the looks of the field, we're playing in an ice storm tonight! Wow!
  18. Z.I.P.
    Just saw a closeup for the first time. Snowing there??
  19. Z.I.P.
    It's amazing that Akron can still compete and win these internet popularity contests without the assistance/meddling of the late great GoZips!!! Way to go, team!
  20. Z.I.P.
    Aha! A Wednesday game. Thus, the reason I cannot find the broadcast on my computer! Hasta manyana!

    And BTW, Jimond was not excited by being called the 13th best player in the MAC! https://twitter.com/easymoney____1/status/925042393119936512 Where's the graphic??
  22. Z.I.P.
    It's an issue for me every time I watch the network. All their live broadcasts are messed up.

    Going off the recent discussion here to bitch about a completely different subject for a moment. I am glad we have played our last game of the year broadcast by CBS Sports Net. They usually do a good enough job in announcing and camera work, but -- and this is a huge but -- they have such constant "technical difficulties" or satellite problems that it makes the game hard to watch! It was less bad in the second half, but it seemed like just about every play the first half had a delay or jumping around in the picture. Our second touchdown wasn't visible until they showed the replay. I don't know why this network has such problems, but they are the only one that experiences this degree of satellite difficulties. You don't see this on ESPN, Fox or any other cable network. Fox Sports just broadcast the Soccer U-17 World Cup from India and never had this poor a signal! I don't think this is unique to my location, either. Can others confirm that CBSSN is hard to watch?

    Thanks for your research habit, ZipME87 (again)! This gives some interesting history of the evolution of MAC men's soccer and the teams that have dropped out over time. For example, Central Michigan quit in '95; Miami in '99; EMU after that '99 season. Did you know that Bob Bradley once coached at Ohio U? He coached their club team while studying for his Masters in Athletic Admin. in the late 70s.
  25. Z.I.P.
    Noticed we used 21 players tonight. Is that the whole bench? And doesn't the MAC have a road travel limit? The Big West, e.g. has a limit of I think 19. Where's Gaucho Dan? ?
