  1. Gimme a break! It is most obvious that fknbuflobo identifies as a cis male. For Pete's sake!
  2. Only witnessed half our goals tonight, but what I HAVE seen looks like possibly our most complete game of the year -- maybe except MSU. We're learning to play on the road! Hurray!
  3. What trick for Stewie! I SAW that one -- barely. Pic constantly in and out.
  4. Well, it looked at first like WVU tied it up -- but fortunately the ball went wide and behind the net.... then my picture died again! Now I have audio, but no video.
  5. They honestly don't impress me much at all. Are they a better team than Bowling Green? Well, they are more disciplined, but may not be more talented.
  6. Yep. Had to reload about 5 times. Missed first 21 minutes. Give the broadcast team a B. Did their homework on players, like Egbo, but that's the second time I've heard Eritrea pronounced with the accent on the second syllable. Er-I-TREa!!
  7. I hope its just pre-game, but the picture dies after 30 seconds.
  8. Crossing my fingers. Sketchy picture, so far.
  9. Excellent point, ZipME87! He is a Sounders Academy product, so I suppose it's up to Brian Schmetzer & Co. I think the HGP rule is just a device MLS teams have to underpay players, by removing intra-league competition and draft options. Players have Garber to thank!
  10. Don't tell anybody, but I think this is going to be Nick's last year as a collegian. First rounder in MLSSD is likely.
  11. Does goal differrential matter in RPI?
  12. Skye Harter! Looks like two very tired ballclubs on the pitch now. We have the advantage, in fitness as well as goals!
  13. Halftime. We controlled the last 20 minutes of the half! Looking better, but this is a very dangerous opponent. I wouldn't want to face them in the post-season. And they finally replayed Nick's goal. Split the defenders and the keeper deep in the middle of the box.
  14. Did you see that play??? Two Pittsburgh players run into each other and... EZ gets carded!!! Playing the role of Cleveland State to UNLV!
  15. Skye gets taken down just outside the box. Moutinho's set piece kick is blocked high by the Pitt keeper. Good opportunity. Let's get into the warmth of the locker room! We ARE starting to rally and get shots on the Panther net, however! Maybe we can get another before the break.
  16. Thank you Nick for that early goal! We are frankly being outplayed in the first 20+ minutes. Pitt looks as skilled as anyone we've played! I think we need to schedule more ACC and BigEast teams, rather than Denvers and UVUs.
  17. Is it the background of beige brick, or is this field extra large? Also, looks COLD!!! I gotta say also, those kits look like a new purple color on my screen. Love it! Wish the basketball and football teams would try and copy!
  18. Turned on the stream and...One-Zip to the good. And Nick's being carted off (after scoring?)!!
  19. I would have been upset if Jared had NOT been livid!
  20. The ESPN3 replay: http://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=3175681
  21. This is absolutely unbe-fricking-lievable! I turned off the stream after 87 minutes!!! Just seconds before the Brennan red card -- still not sure how the OTHER BG player got red carded! And we give up the most inept goal I have ever seen an Akron team allow. That could have -- I mean the whole end of this one could have made #SCTopTen. THANK YOU Ezana and friends for providing a heart-stopping ending. Now DON'T do that again!!!
  22. Shades of Michael Green, aka the Dark Knight of --was it St Ed's? -- who Caleb did not recruit, instead recruiting the more unknown kid named Darlington Nagaway or something like that.
  23. Ohhhhh. I thought this was the game played at the 49ers Stadium in Santa Clara...Wrong!!! FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, as in Tejas! https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/05/23/frisco-bowl-to-debut-this-season-in-texas-at-mls-stadium/102067374/ BTW -- I found like about 5 sites doing bowl "prognostication", and that was the only one that has Akron in ANY bowl!
  24. Did someone say "garbage time stats"?
  25. I haven't watched a replay of the ESPN3 telecast, but they showed each penalty call 2 or 3 times, and I definitely agreed with the first one -- the keeper definitely obstructed the attacking player and took him down without (pretty sure here) touching the ball. The second call that was made, the Akron player (Stuart, I believe) looked to me to have stepped into the box just before he was pushed from behind. My only question is the amount of pressure applied by the defender. Had that been in MLS, the ref likely would let it pass, but college refs tend to allow less contact to call a PK. Then there was the earlier play in the second half where Stuart collided with the Notre Dame GK. The keeper did make contact with the ball before the collision, so no penalty.
