So there he goes, I love the Timbers Army and Have watched almost every Portland home game the past 2 years on TV/MLS Live, but I was holding out hope he'd land in Columbus. Portland is on track to get the third pick in the draft, would any Zips players go that high?

The next coach is walking into a very talented young team. My only concern is over whether the MAC will be able to send 2-3 teams to the tournament every year. The addition of West Virginia came at a bad time, especially with NIU's improvements.

We've been here before. I'm still optimistic we'll find a great replacement

We will find out within the next couple of days http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012...coach-hire-week

I believe that if Porter planned on accepting the job, he'd take it after the Zips season ended in 2012 because he's not the type of person to leave a team in the middle of a season. You have to wonder if the offer being leaked by the Portland media hurts Portland's chance to land him, considering Porter has to deal with the players emotions and their worries of losing the coach they came to Akron to play for.

the question is, is Portland the best place for Porter? They will have to increase the dimensions of Jeld-Wen field for Porter's style, and the Google Maps image doesn't seem to give them much room. It would be great for soccer in Ohio if he could land in Columbus with the Crew. Regardless, I don't see Akron moving back any after Porter leaves, especially with Embick

I've always wondered why we've never lost Jared Embick to another school looking for a head coach. Makes me wonder if he turned down offers to stay at Akron knowing he was next in line here.

Bowling Green's first game was in front of a capacity crowd of 2,076

Akron could still counter the offer. I was hoping we'd lose him to the Crew when he makes the move to the pros. Michael Beaven from the Akron Beacon Journal was a guest on MLS's extratime radio http://www.mlssoccer.com/extratime

the MLS is now spreading the news Portland Timbers offer, they made a facebook posting and it's on their website. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012...ns-porter-coach http://www.facebook.com/MLS

With Portland's season almost over and no playoff hope, I wouldn't think he'd leave until after the Zips current season if he accepts their offer. Whether it's with Portland or another team, I fear this will probably be our last year with Caleb Porter. Winning a second national title would be a great way to go out.

Watch party at Rays or the Barley House for the Crieghton game?

Nice crowd of 1,892 at that game.

Post game video

Here's how one player looked

Thanks for updates, just got home and hungry for this stuff. Great game tonight. Thanks to everyone that came put for the tailgate

Porter talks about the future season

I should be there around 5:15. I made spicy black bean burgers for anyone looking for fiber

Kofi Sarkodie got the start tonight for Houston's Champions League game He got an assist on his cross for the 2nd goal of the game.

Looks like Korb and McDonald made up, McDonald scores on a Korb assist http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2012-...-chi/highlights

Steven Goff of the Washington Post tweeted this moments ago: Getting word Timbers and Akron/U23 coach Caleb Porter like one another. Others from #mls/ussf/#nasl in mix. Decision timetable unclear
