  1. Marshall's GK makes another great save on...Hines this time? Nearing the finish...
  2. 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...
  3. Great stop by Marshall's keeper prevents Egbo from making it 2-nil. 13:00 to play. Finish!
  4. Well, didn't see the call, but Stewie H. just put away a PK for Akron. 1-0. Phhewww! 24 minutes remaining.
  5. No ice or snow according to Zips Social media, but getting to be more like monsoon conditions from the look of it!
  6. Yellow card on Marshall for a forearm shiver to...Kahsay? Fouls: 8-2 Marshall the majority of "gives". Shots 3-3?
  7. 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.
  8. From the looks of the field, we're playing in an ice storm tonight! Wow!
  9. Just saw a closeup for the first time. Snowing there??
  10. 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!
  11. Aha! A Wednesday game. Thus, the reason I cannot find the broadcast on my computer! Hasta manyana!
  12. 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??
  13. It's an issue for me every time I watch the network. All their live broadcasts are messed up.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. 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? ?
  17. Gimme a break! It is most obvious that fknbuflobo identifies as a cis male. For Pete's sake!
  18. 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!
  19. What trick for Stewie! I SAW that one -- barely. Pic constantly in and out.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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!!
  23. I hope its just pre-game, but the picture dies after 30 seconds.
  24. Crossing my fingers. Sketchy picture, so far.
  25. 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!
