Blue & Gold

I love the solid blue uniform combo, btw.

Last I heard not till after Christmas break... at the earliest.

http://www.ncaa.com/scoreboard/soccer-men/d1 As I post this the Sweet 16 consists of... Akron Wake Forest Syracuse Creighton Indiana Maryland Boston College Georgetown Notre Dame Ohio State Still playing... Clemson -vs- Elon SMU -vs- Denver UCLA -vs- Seattle North Carolina -vs- Coastal Carolina Stanford -vs- Santa Clara South Carolina -vs- UC Santa Barbara

I think I just heard in the post game show that Kretzer may have broke a rib. Probably why Utomi's redshirt was burned.

Saw that too. Interesting. Coaching staff must be really high on Isaiah Williams coming in next year to burn Utomi's redshirt this year. I hope Utomi gets sufficient minutes to develop & make burning his redshirt worth it.

Spot on. I'm getting butterflies already.

I was listening to 1350 and this was also Frenchy's opinion.

They've played Penn State close, held BUGS to 28 & blew out OU. On the other hand they got blown out by CMU & just squeaked by Can't. I have zero idea of what to expect today. Huge game.

Very nice article by GT on JB1. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/ua-football-linebacker-jatavis-brown-making-a-name-for-himself-as-a-possible-nfl-player-while-leading-zips-defense-1.641311 I didn't realize he just passed Jason Taylor as UA's all-time sack leader. JB1

I see this game is on the SEC Network. Is there anyway we'll be able to watch this game?

I'm a huge Josh Williams fan, in fact I'm using his name as a password right now. Lol. But he seems to be struggling more than I anticipated he would.

Can't game needs to be played early in the season - maybe 1st conference game? Either Buffalo or Ohio could be played on "Rivalry Week." I'd bet Ohio's rivalry with us is more intense than their rivalry with Miami is. I know they're right up there with Can't for me. I love to hate Ohio. And I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Did Jordan Davis sign?

I believe today was the early-signing day? Any news?

Agreed. If Canton McKinley's soccer team was still in the state playoffs there'd be a daily Sports Section front page story about them in the Canton Repository. Very strange disconnect with the ABJ.

We played the game with our backup center - Stephen Erikson. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/backup-center-does-outstanding-job-for-zips-1.639514

I can't make the game tonight, so for those who do go, please give us lots of details. Who's the starting lineup? Does Josh Williams start? Do any of the other three freshmen play? It's obviously going to be a bit skewed against Malone, but do any of the players look like they've made Pat-like, or Cheathum-like jumps as those two did last year? How's Big Dog's weight look? I'd also love a report on Jimmond Ivey. Do any of the players seem to have a natural chemistry on the floor? Malone's going to be going all-out & playing to win. Does Dambrot even care? Probably not. Probably just going to work on finding rotations & experimenting with some things on offense & playing the young guys. But we still want to give a good showing.

Lol. And one of the ZN members will accuse the other of being the player's dad.

PG: Robotham/Antino SG: Williams/Ivey SF: Kretzer/McAdams PF: Cheatham/Aaron Jackson(?) C: Forsythe/Big Dog With Williams @ "SG" that gives us 2 interchangeable lead guards on the court w/ Robotham @ "PG". Williams & Robotham are almost clones of each other. Ivey is more of a pure SG.
