It's not on TV other than Telefutura (is this on dish?). It's on ESPN3.com. I don't know why Fox Soccer Channel didn't choose to broadcast. It's at 10 pm ET, I believe (7 pm PT).

Steve Zakuani tweeted a few hours ago: "Just landed in LA! Here to support the US in their game vs Chile & more specifically @TealBunB" Wonder if Blair Gavin, Ben Zemanski, & Zarek Valentin are also attending given that the game is at the Home Depot Center, regular season home of Chivas USA?

D and Ampai to meet again in Southern Cali near UCSB The Earthquakes and Timbers are holding part of their training camps in Ventura, CA...just down the road from Santa Barbara. They have scheduled an exhibition match in Ventura, CA on Feb 7th according to the San Jose Mercury News. Chivas USA training camp report Valentin first practice

In my opinion, we're not seeing that. With all the chaotic substitutions, I don't know what team we're seeing on the floor. Sorry, I like KD (he's certainly much better than Hipsher and Crawford), but he's not above criticism.

Actually, it was Kofi Sarkodie. However, that doesn't really matter. I get and agree with your point, but in the case of Zips Men's Basketball, I think most of the blame falls on the Head Coach. Yes, the players have to perform, but I don't understand KD's lineups, such as Bardo and Zeke on the floor at the same time. I've also never liked the overused (in my opinion) substitutions. Can't he figure out who the 5 starters are and leave them on the floor when they're "hot" rather than pulling them in and out? Why is Cvetinovic allowed to "go crazy" at times and make stupid decisions, yet remain on the floor? Why isn't Egner getting minutes?

I dont think porter needs accolades to know he's the best college soccer coach right now. Numbers dont lie. I agree. Caleb doesn't need the NSCAA, either, to confirm that he is the best college soccer coach.

Coach Porter received the award last year, and like the Hermann Trophy voting, I believe that the voting for Coach of the Year is done prior to the College Cup. At that time, Louisville (Coach Lolla) was ranked #1. Personally, and from all of the accolades bestowed upon him by others in the "soccer world", Caleb should have been a repeat recipient.

It was an awesome event. Very well done. Thanks to the Athletics Department for ensuring that all of the 8 players who are leaving were there. It was great to be able to thank and congratulate everyone and to wish them well. For anyone who is interested (and can't wait until the Fall, like me)... when I asked, Caleb told me that the Spring (exhibition) schedule is set, and there will be 3 home games this year...Xavier, Cleveland State, and Maryland. [i don't know who the Zips are playing away.]

Awesome! Here's another good article...MLS Draft Recap (SBNation) DC United: Again, this is really about the one big name they had just fall in their lap, but they did get the player that many people have been calling the best all-around-player in the draft. Perry Kitchen is going to start, probably in the midfield, almost right away. He's going to make DC better. Chris Korb, his Akron teammate, came later in the second round, but adding two players from arguably the greatest men's college team in history can't be bad can it? The answer is "no," in case you were wondering.

What really matters, and all that I really want out of any "celebration is To tell the players who are leaving... THANKS for bringing us a National Championship. THANKS for coming to Akron. BEST WISHES for your future. I wish you MUCH SUCCESS. and those who are staying... See you in the Spring , at least for a few games, no matter where they are played, and I look forward to and will be there next season! Go Zips!

I have a friend in San Jose whom I try to visit at least once a year. I'll have to arrange my visit when the Earthquakes are home!

Korb to DC United...nice!

Wow. Thanks for posting that Zach.

Good luck getting those tickets at a reasonable price, if at all.

+1

I'd be in for 2 copies...1 for me and 1 as a gift.

Very nice... From Darlington Nagbe on twitter won the Hermann like my big bro @TealBunB. 3 years straight an Akron player has been there starting with @stevezakuani11. thanks Akron Thank you Darlington

It's so satisfying to beat K.e.n.t. Great game by Zeke. Love watching Abreu's progress as well. Nice touch, too, to advertise the upcoming National Championship celebrations by having Zippy show off the trophy with K.e.n.t. fans in the house.

At the end of their 10 o'clock broadcast tonight, Fox 8 gave a nice mention, including numerous pictures from the season, of Darlington winning of the Hermann Trophy.

That is great and well deserved.

Darlington wins according to FollowTheRoo Edit: just a bit later than you, Yaznasty. But, I agree... Edit: Soccer America Article Edit: Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy (Awesome to see Darlington and Teal on that same page)

I thought I'd try to bring this topic back to the forefront given that the announcement is at 5:45 pm (central ?) today in St. Louis. Best wishes, Darlington...GO ZIPS! M.A.C. Hermann Trophy Caleb knows the way to St. Louis (3rd visit in 3 years)

Whitecaps still interested in Nagbe

Top 30 MLS SuperDraft Prospects

This may be because the team needs to get to Baltimore for the MLS Superdraft (which I got word that Porter and many of the team members will be there). Would seem another night would have been better but you wouldn't want to wait too long for it. I wondered about that because Coach Porter and the players were at the draft last year.
