I think he was pretty angry with the way the ref was allowing the BUGS thugs to get out of hand.

Ezana Kahsy’s golden goal 26 seconds into OT was another beauty. Really happy for EZ! Go Zips!

Nick Hinds got the first goal. Sweet. Happy for him. Should have been the winning goal.

Apparently. I had no idea when I posted last night. All I had found was his tweet/twitter profile, which has no detail. I found this this morning... http://za.soccerway.com/players/jason-shokalook/510456/ Birthdate... 30 Sep 2002 https://www.prep-villa.com/mobile.cfm?p=873&teamID=127&view=c Assistant Varsity Soccer Coach: Mark Shokalook Coach Shokalook is entering his 7th season as a Varsity Assistant Coach. Shokalook, a native of Strongsville Ohio, played Collegiate soccer at Mercyhurst College, where he was a team captain. Shokalook has coaching experience with the Erie Strikers and the last three seasons with the Erie Admirals Soccer Club, where his is also a co-owner. Mark is married to Carrie and has two sons, Nathan (Prep ’18) and Jason (Prep ’21).

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but ...

John Hackworth mentioned among possible candidates for USMNT “caretaker” coach in this article...

So glad there's a new video board. I recall all those times (0) that I said a new video board was needed to keep my interest in Zips Mens Basketball and to put new butts in the seats. It's nice, but really. Close beside Cuyahoga’s waters, Stream of amber hue, O’er old Buchtel Summit’s glory, Waves the gold and blue. Hail we video board! Sound her praises, Speed them on the gale, Ever stand our new video board, Akron hail, all hail!

U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team vs. England: Quarterfinal Kickoff Time, TV Channels and 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup Rosters...Saturday, Oct 21st at 10:30 am ET Current Zips Mens Soccer player Morgan Hackworth's father, John Hackworth, leads this team and of course they represent the USA, so I thought I'd post this information here. Go USA!!!

I agree there is nothing around Crew Stadium. I think FC Cincy benefits from all of the restaurants and bars nearby and the Crew probably would too. However, I don’t see entry/exit improving in a downtown locale. Current location is very convenient to I71. It also affords significant space for parking and tailgating.

I enjoy going when I do, but it’s too far to be a season ticket holder. That’s 3 hours round trip. I don’t stay overnight but it ends up being a long trip as I’m fortunate to join the Trapp’s at their tailgate before and after the matches I attend. I always end up heading home about 1 hour after the match is over. I will hate if/when this ends.

There is a problem with the line you drew on Zips Mens Soccer attendance. You have no data points in the graph from 2004-08. I know that before they began selling season tickets in 2009, attendance did not break 1000. If it did, it was rarely, and not on average. You cannot show that line as average attendance declining since 2004; since, 2010, perhaps, but not since 2004. Attendance likely increased from 04-10, then dropped with a slight uptick in 15 when the Zips returned to the College Cup.

I'll call this Zips related since former Zips Mens Soccer MF Will Trapp plays for the Columbus Crew and is the current team captain. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/10/columbus_crew_sc_mls_team_migh.html#incart_river_mobile_index This would make sense if Cincinnati were to get a team. Also opens up Detroit. Neither market would then be pulling from Columbus. However, I would hate to see Columbus lose one of MLS' founding teams and for MLS access to be further from us. ALthough not super convenient, it is nice to have MLS access just a 1.5 hour drive away immediately off I-71.

Timbers are in with last night's win vs DC United. Go Timbers. https://www.mlssoccer.com/standings

Watched that this morning. I won't spoil it with the details.

Disappointing to not get the clean sheet. Jared said in his interview they sometimes focus too much on the negative, and so he didn't go on about that blunder. As I mentioned, I was happy with the Zips'/Joao's response, but they have to learn from those mistakes. To win against the best teams, those mistakes cannot be committed.

I know you're not. That was my point, though. DeAndre played MF and never player defender prior to meeting CP. I guess the way I worded it wasn't clear..."...where he convinced a very talented now right back named DeAndre Yedlin to first move to playing that position (from playing MF)"

Yep.

Great to see the Plain Dealer have this article, but seems to be another lazy writer. When talking about CP's experience with US Soccer, he should have also mentioned Caleb's stint as a U18 MNT assistant, where he convinced a very talented Right Back named DeAndre Yedlin to move to playing that position.

It appears your memories are in error...October 14, 1979, L 0-2 SIU-E, Page 67 of the Zips Mens Soccer Media Guide... http://gozips.com/documents/2017/8/25/msoc_17guide_web.pdf

.

Yes, very nice to see Joao immediately wanting to make amends and quickly doing so, and then doing so again for good measure.

I agree. I was there in Omaha in 2012 when the Zips got their first win in the series. Time for the 2nd one tonight. Go Zips.
