Actually, JK valued DeA very much...just had an odd way of showing it for any player.

Yes, DeA got 90 against Liverpool. He is the current USMNT #1 RB. I don't see anyone starting ahead of him.

I would say yes. I believe DeA is the USMNT's starting RB unless he is hurt or shows reason to not be.

FIFY

Don't know when he will return, but he was dressed and warming up with the team Saturday.

Fluke or not, I'd like to see them win all non-MAC matches.

Michigan State took out their frustration following their 1-4 loss to the Zips by destroying blOSU in East Lansing...

Very nice win for the Zips against a very good St. Mary's squad. The Zips did a great job of grinding this one out.

The other was a pk following a take down by Ben in the penalty area when Ben couldn't get the ball and raised his leg tripping the Denver attacker in the box.

As Nate said in his post-game interview last night, they had some hard practices after the St Louis game. At UVU, Denver, and St Louis, they looked to just be going through the motions. They had their opportunities at UVU and Denver but didn't put it together to capitalize. Mistakes hurt in both those matches. At St. Louis, the Zips didn't look sharp at all; looked like they were just there and doing enough to get out of there with a tie. These last 2, they look to be playing Zips' soccer...dominant, attentive, pressing, finishing. Being at home, I'm certain is a help as is the additional time working together. Now, they need to put this one behind them and focus on the next one. That was fun and a great win, but there's much more work to be done. I agree...the calls seemed quite one-sided for awhile. In the end, there were at least 2 egregious MSU fouls that should have resulted in yellow cards, but none were given to MSU...only the Zips picked up cards. The lack of consistency in refereeing continues.

That was fun. Our Zips came prepared for this one. The starting lineup changes worked well. So happy ZipsVoice is regretting not being here for this one...Sorry ZipsVoice, but I know you understand. Glad you got to see it on your mobile. Go Zips. Keep up the hard work.

Never a doubt about this, either... “There’s no secret I’m a big fan of Darren Mattocks,” Porter said following the Timbers' 3-0 shellacking of Orlando City on Sunday night. If I recall correctly, Caleb traveled to Jamaica to find Darren for the Zips.

Great article. Grabbed me with the first sentence... Fresh off of winning a national championship under Caleb Porter at Akron, the Vancouver Whitecaps selected Darren Mattocks with the second pick in the 2012 SuperDraft.

Not sure, but I thought this seemed like the appropriate thread for this...

The Timbers did an awesome job on this. No wonder they won 3-0 and looked so energized last night.

St Louis' defeat of Stanford, Washington's defeat of Seattle, and the Zips' win over UMass Lowell has the Zips up to 66 in RPI rank (up from 132, if I recall). Michigan St is currently #1, Notre Dame is #7, Western Michigan is #9. Lots of opportunities to move up. Keep at it Zips; work hard.

Not sure which poll has MSU #1, but the current RPI rank is showing them as #1. Good enough for me. Fine if it helps bring in a good crowd, too.
