The banner that UAZipster0305 mentioned.

Probably fake news (some college joke). Either that, or there really isn't much to do in Athens.

Good call ZIP. You know your NCAA Mens Soccer. (87 points, I believe)

MDZip, I agree that I don't think Philly is the right place, although I like their colors (blue and gold). Santa Barbara would not have been the right place this year, either. I don't think that would have worked out well with the fires just down the road in Ventura. I work with some folks in Goleta who told me Thursday the air was full of smoke due to the wildfires. In 2010, we were very lucky. The weather was miserable the weekend before and the weekend after we were there. I thought Houston was a nice try last year, but the field looked horrible. I'm not sure the answer...Orlando (that's where the Women's College Cup was this year). Perhaps if David Beckham ever gets the Miami MLS team going, Miami would be the place. As far as the Standford fan, I don't understand the need for someone to be in your face like that. It's like the Stanford team coming over to celebrate in front of the Akron students after their 1st goal instead of going to the other end and celebrating with their own fans. Classless. Go Hoosiers!

ZIP, what I should have said, is yes, I agree, Stanford dictated the game and took the Zips out of our game like VCU did to the Mens Basketball team. Stanford was the better team in this College Cup semifinal. However, unlike the basketball game which was over in the first 5 minutes, the Zips hung in there tonight until the 2nd goal which came with only about 11 minutes to go. I'm sure you recall the 2015 College Cup. Jake Fenlason was our star during the run of play. The Zips didn't even have a shot in the first half. If not for Jake, that match would not have made it to PK's. I don't know what to say about the ref last night. He definitely let them play. It was interesting when Manel had had enough and slammed the Stanford player to the ground. The ref just kinda smiled at it and let it go. The game was definitely physical, most of which was allowed to go. No cards at all was interesting given the physical play.

It's hard to laugh when you just got back from seeing some really downtrodden faces and coaches who really wanted to see these seniors go out with a trophy. I think the world of these guys; just hard not to be heartbroken for them.

Thanks CK. I've followed this team on the road and at home throughout this season, and this tweet sums 2017 up for me... I'm sad that our seniors didn't get to leave UA with the Championship trophy, but they were 1 of 4 teams out of 205 D1 Men's Soccer Programs who played tonight. Not too shabby at all. Thanks Coach Embick, staff and players for a fun ride. So glad I was there!

Terrible comparison ZIP. I disagree wholeheartedly.

The UCSB match is the only one they missed.

Pre-game party is in Lot C now at Talen Energy Stadium.

Gotta love all this attention for The University of Akron. It seems to be coming fast and furious now. Thanks Zips Men's Soccer! GO ZIPS!!!

Thanks to Coach Jared Embick and his predecessor, Caleb Porter, for taking the program to this level and to Stu Parry for starting it and continuing to be invested in it. Add Doc Nash and other former coaches and players who continue their investment as well as the hard work and pride of our current players, coaches and staff. GO ZIPS! #Roadto2ndStar
