    Have you ever heard of THIS man? When we have produced someone like that, and win back-to-back national championship, then maybe we can compare ourselves... Until then, We Are Akron! Stand proud.

    I like Bentacourt! Or whoever...

    That is awesome! I have to think that Rachel must be on the WNBA Draft board (along with the young lady from Michigan who is Akron's foil! Go Rachel go!

    Actually, according to the Resource Conservation and Control Act of 1976, EPA toxic wastes must be incinerated before they can be dumped (i.e., buried). What, am I the only environmental scientist on the board???

    Well...It would appear that this thread has an agenda that it is hiding...If in fact, you were planning to have a discussion about "Nobody really likes football (i.e., "soccer")!", you should have placed that on the "Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer" forum! But then you would likely have been outmanned by those who don't or rarely come to the (US) Football forum. Better yet, why don't you register and place your opinion on the BigSoccer forum. I'm sure it will get plenty of discussion there!

    I'd love to hear from someone (wink, wink) who knows his chances of making the World Cup squad...

    Better solution: Forget AA. bring back Zeke!!!

    Meanwhile, I don't think I saw anything about our old friend Anthony! Ampai was sold from Buriram to Bangkok United last summer. Looks as if he's enjoying life...

    Well, maybe he can catch on in the NHL. His older brother Michael, former LA Galaxy MF was working for the Colorado Avalanche (promotions), last I heard.

    Seattle Sounders (2): Blair Gavin (2007-09) Sorry, but I thought Blair retired -- ??
  11. Z.I.P.
    Aha! That is precisely why I included the . (should we include KDs years at CMU?? )
  12. Z.I.P.
    YES! WE'RE #1!!! WE'RE #1!!!
  13. Z.I.P.
    Are you referring specifically to ZN.o, or just the first two rounds of the MLS draft?
  14. Z.I.P.
    I had to look it up (duh!) but found that Steve Hawkins started at WMU a year earlier -- or should we include KDs years at CMU??
  15. Z.I.P.
    Is this the first time you noticed that?? Seriously!

    Thanks for the link TZ! I was wondering about this: Yedlin was not made available to reporters during the first week of training at StubHub Center, nor were a handful of the green, uncapped youngsters in camp. What the heck's up with that, anyway??

    Now THAT guy LOOKS like an Offensive Line Coach -- at least his head!

    I found this interesting piece from last August on the Crew website. Does anyone else find it suspicious that the training camp was held in Portland -- a site not normally used for national team camps? I wonder if the Timbers just happened to be in town at the same time?! Also, came across this, From the Dispatch, indicating that Ben is already 16, and has been playing way ahead of his age for awhile. And, ahem... he plans to attend college (for hopefully more than a year!)

    Well... Speaking of Columbus Crew Academy: The US U-18 Team is holding a training camp in Florida this week, and a very interesting player there is 15 year old midfielder Benjamin Swanson of Columbus Crew Academy and Grove City, Ohio, the #2 ranked player in his class. By the time he makes his college decision, he should have made quite a name for himself, if his progress continues at the current pace. Wonder if anyone on the board is familiar with him at the club or high school level. Did he play for Grove City HS, by any chance? He's a sophomore now by grade. Of course we know that in the past, this type prospect would most likely see Akron as the most desirable college destination. His recruitment will be an interesting test of the durability of the relationship with Crew Academy which we are so in need of preserving.

    We're now up by just 8 votes. Beat back the Whoosiers!

    The Beavers have two players, Devon Collier and Roberto Nelson who average 25 and 23 points per game (not sure at this moment whom gets the 25, but they're both big threats). However, Roberto Nelson received a red card ejection in the first half of last night's Towson St. game. Does anyone know if he has to sit out his next game, or is that just under FIFA rules? Sorry, as I will tell kd and his group when they arrive in 5 hours, I'm still operating in futbol mode.

    I'm thinking that about now, Quincy's hometown Wichita State WheatShockers truly wish they had some of Q's tools on their side! Quincy is a fine representative of Zips Nation.
  23. Z.I.P.
    As some unruly fans are known to chant at futbol games -- though surely no AK-Rowdies -- "There's two 'R's, Four 'E's, and one 'F' in referee!" BTW -- are you the same guy who referred to our PG, Carmelo Bentacourt?
  24. Z.I.P.
    Okay, well within the bounds of logical argument! How about, "Their greatness so far is a bit of an illusion."?
  25. Z.I.P.
    What the heck happened here? We went from ~ 30% to 56% in one day. Why do I suspect Gozips has been involved in the vote? Or did they wait a week to tally up all our count? I dunno.
