Yep. I know they do, which is why I said I guess I need to join in the social media. I don't necessarily care if they answer all of the tweets. I just want to ensure they know how much they're appreciated.

Although I posted earlier that it looks like it worked for tomorrow night, I'll still be interested to see if there is any lasting effect. Also, what is the effect of the LeBron bobble heads vs the Zips' current winning streak? Whatever the case, I want our players to know that I show up to watch and support them, not because there's a chance that I can pick up a Lebron bobble head. I wish it was as easy to catch up with our basketball players after a game as it is our soccer players to thank them for their play. I guess I need to join the social media crowd so that I can tell them through twitter or something. I'd just prefer doing so in person and not just at the beginning or end of a season.

Looks like the promotion worked for tomorrow night.

My guess is that Bryan will play this summer for the Portland Timbers U23 team (PDL) like Aodhan and DeAndre played for the Sounders U23 team (PDL) last summer.

You beat me to it, but here's another... http://seattletimes.com/html/soundersfcblo...nal_future.html I'm surprised Z.I.P. and fknbuflobo didn't remember this. (Ref: http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?s=...t&p=135206)

Congratulations to David Meves, picked as #3 overall in Supplemental draft by the Portland Timbers today.

I apologize as I didn't mean to imply that you hadn't brought this to the Athletic Department's attention. I guess my post was poorly worded. I was just trying to point out that we can all help the Athletic Department with this kind of information. Thanks for pointing out that Chauncey has scored 1000+ points; I didn't know that. I respect and appreciate our players and love to see them recognized for their accomplishments.

The UA Athletics Department isn't infallible. I suggest when you notice accomplishments like this that seem to have gone unrecognized, send a nice e-mail to the UA Sports Information Director (SID) specific to that sport. They are all listed at http://www.gozips.com/athletics/staffdirectory/index under the heading "Communications".

Interesting...thanks. Edit: I think that's Nano to Caleb's left between 0:11 and 0:16 in this video, moving around and getting the kinks out of his neck.

http://www.stumptownfooty.com/2013/1/21/39...rters-first-day Michael Nanchoff, formerly of the Vancouver Whitecaps and a former player under Caleb Porter at Akron, is listed as a non-roster player on the Timbers' preseason roster, but was not at practice today.

Speaking of the Sounders, some discussion with Steve Zakuani and others on first day or training camp. Also in the video at 2:12 - 2:16 Steve working out in the foreground and DeAndre in the background.

It was a disappointment, but I don't see it as a disaster. As was stated by the ESPN announcers in reference to the barrage near the end of the 2010 Championship game, Sometimes you just need luck. If your name's on the Cup, it's on the Cup. We just didn't have the breaks vs Creighton in 2012 that we seemed to have vs Cal, Louisville, and others in 2010.

Interview: DeAndre Yedline at the SuperDraft I like DeAndre's response to the question about Akron vs Indiana in 2012 MLSSoccer.com Interview: DeAndre Yedlin I always love the questions concerning UA

At least one analyst liked what our former coach did on draft day http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2013/n...-mls-superdraft Under the heading Pretty Much Went According To Plan Portland Timbers – Was this my favorite pick of the draft? Yes, yes it was. First of all, I like Dylan Tucker-Gangnes a lot, and could argue that he’s the most MLS-ready of the center backs on offer, so just on a nuts-and-bolts level, it was the right pick. As important, though, is that Portland took a kid who is Seattle born-and-bred, and University of Washington star, one pick before the Sounders were up. Seattle fans flipped their collective bean in the live chat, on Twitter and elsewhere. Safe to say the Portland braintrust “gets” the rivalry. (Tucker-Gangnes, by the way, played for Portland's U-23s in the PDL, so it's not a given that the Sounders would have picked him at all. But I still love the way this went down).

That's great news. Has that been published anywhere yet?

No "whoops" necessary. Robbie Dambrot was previously listed on Top Drawer as committed to High Point.

I posted this in another thread, but it seems more appropriate here. From Travis Clark tweet: 2013 Akron recruiting class continues to take shape. IMG defender Brett Gravatt and Robbie Dambrot committed.

Are you sure that Akron had a top 5 recruiting class in Caleb's first season? Interesting ... I thought Robby Dambrot had verbaled elsehere.

According to GoZips.com he is.

No confirmed signing yet that I can find, but indicators are soon... http://www.burgundywave.com/2013/1/12/3867...contract-rapids https://twitter.com/Rapids_News/status/289905932715061248 I'm going to miss Dillon. I wish I would have found time to talk with him more. I enjoyed talking with his mother in Omaha and at one game in Akron. I look forward to seeing them again, hopefully, one day.
