  1. Hell if NCAA Soccer followed NCAA Football, that UVU match would be completely forgotten. It was the first game of the season. Look how they treat early season blOSU losses in grid iron football.
  2. I think the ESPN3 broadcasts may also hurt attendance. Video is better than ever and casual fans sit at home where they can eat/drink and not have to come in person. Also, I’m not sure anyone currently connects with the students the way Caleb Porter did. Opponents may have found him arrogant, brash, cocky, but I think our fans loved his attitude and confidence. I admit besides winning the national championship, one of the greatest moments in Zips Mens Soccer history was when the 4th official rolled up his flag and went home in the elite 8 match vs Cal due to Caleb. You just can’t get that kind of excitement watching at home.
  3. Teams ahead of the Zips in RPI need to lose to open the spots for the Zips to move up. Zips have a good shot at top 8 as stated, maybe higher.
  4. WMU wins 1-0 #2 Akron plays #3 SIU-E
  5. Flora looks a lot different than when I was there earlier this season. They must have completely redone the landscaping. That storm really darkened the place at 1 pm, too.
  6. Sunday 10 am WMU v BGSU final regular season match http://www.wmubroncos.com/schedule.aspx?path=msoc
  7. And another...
  8. For those who don't have twitter accounts...
  9. WVU defeated SIUE 2-1; so, MAC standings are: WMU: 4-0, 12 points Akron: 4-1, 12 points SIUE: 2-3, 6 points WVU: 1-2-2, 5 points BGSU: 1-2-1, 4 points NIU: 0-4-1, 1 point WMUvBGSU postponed as mentioned above. If BGSU defeats WMU, BGSU will have 7 points & be the 3 seed with SIUE as the 4 seed If BGSU ties WMU, BGSU will have 5 points, SIUE will be 3 seed & tiebreaking procedures will apply for 4 seed WVU or BGSU (didn't look them up) If WMU defeats BGSU, BGSU will have 4 points and be eliminated from MAC Tourney; SIUE 3 seed, WVU 4 seed
  10. I made a mistake calling this one. This is undecided at this time.
  11. Thank you Barth-Luther, Stuart, Nate, Pau, Sam, Nathan, Dener, Manel, and Niko. You (all of the players), coaches, and staff are the reason I LOVE Zips Mens Soccer so much. Go Zips! #2ndStar
  12. I respectfully disagree a little on this one. The committee has shown us some kindness in the past. I've forgotten offhand what the Zips RPI was in 2015, but I'm fairly confident it was not 1-4; however, the Zips were the #4 seed.
  13. And you left a little early....wah. Happily stayed to shake players' hands on their way to team room under the stands. The result kept me from getting too cold. Warmed up in the car on the way home. Thanks to the other die hard Zips fans who sat through those conditions to support our deserving team. Go Zips!
  14. Well deserved...
  15. Couldn't say for sure, but that's a good guess/reasoning as to start times, given the return to standard time, unless the MAC makes WMU bring in light trucks or move to an alternate field that has lights such as Kalamazoo College. As far as 1st or 2nd game, usually 2v3 is the first game and 1v4 is the 2nd, but that's when the 2nd game is scheduled in "prime time"...a time which allows folks to attend after work.
  16. Why not just say you want seeds 1–4. The Zips have only advanced to the College Cup in recent years when they had all home games prior to College Cup.
  17. Check it, but I believe the top 16 get a first round bye and the other 32 play on a week night. Seeds are 1-16.
  18. Perhaps they're under investigation......oh, wait, that's
  19. Just have to take it one game at a time and not look ahead of the next opponent.
  20. #2 Akron will play #3 SIUE on Friday, Nov 10th. #4 is TBD.
  21. Corrupt...NCAA. You jest?
