Not to burst anyone's bubble, but we're talking about college soccer. There isn't much money to be made here. I think the decision doesn't go beyond the powers-that-be thinking that our MAC schedule isn't worthy of a top 4 seed. Not that that thought makes sense, as that's calculated into our RPI, but it is what it is. This isn't some conspiracy to keep the Zips down and make boat loads of money off UNC winning a soccer championship in front of 5,000 people and a TV audience of 50,000 more.

So if UNC plays on the road, their fans don't watch?

What motivation does he have for screwing us? Money? We'd probably bring in one of the highest couple attendance figures. Incredibly stupid decision. Inexplicable almost. But the whole "NCAA is out to get us" thought isn't the most sensible.

Chauncey seems like a great kid, and I root for him to do well. It's a shame some people probably think differently because someone is on here on his behalf complaining all the time. This isn't high school basketball anymore, annoying parents/family members sound even worse when it comes to D-1 athletics. KD has taken us to 6 straight conference championships, the guy knows what he's doing.

Yep. Same crap, different year. I'm sure we'll be one of the last two standing in the MAC, come that Saturday night at the Q, but it stinks watching them crap down their legs against inferior teams. The road to an at large was there this year, can't do it losing to coastal carolina.

Whoever screwed this up shouldn't have a job much longer. I think the biggest game of the PR tourney is OK State, because it gives us the opportunity to play NC State. We lose that one, it really hurts our at large chances.

Heaven forbid you treat students well. Not like they're gonna be alumni potentially donating money in a few years right?

Do you see a pattern there? There's only one student section that I would say does a great job. OU. Student sections make a difference. On a score? perhaps. Excitement, atmosphere, and experience for the rest of the fans? Absolutely.

That's a great question

Akron Zips posted the following picture, which in the bottom left corner shows a seating chart and says students will now sit in sections N, O, P and 11. I like the idea of putting everyone together, hopefully they enforce it and make all students sit together. But I don't like moving half the section to the top level. The best way to do it would be courtside like Duke, Pitt, etc...but it looks like the students will have to show up and be loud and hopefully force that change.

We're one weird non-tipped free throw away from being winners of 2 of the last 3 against OU, along with MAC regular season and conference champs. Back to back tourney appearances. OU is very good, we are too. There isn't much separation between them, which makes me wonder where he heard many people believe OU will run the table in the MAC.

@akzipper Don't want to turn this political...but i had to

Well then ignore my edit. Play Pohl. Gozips.com just said FR, without the (RS), unless I was looking in the wrong place.

Who disagreed with lumberjack's post? And I think the two players he was talking about were Zeke and Abreu. They're on the posters

I'm in for getting Pohl some time. Not through any fault of Williams...but he's a senior on a 1-7 team. Nothing will help Pohl for the next 3 years more than seeing some real game time. edit: that would be a really stupid idea, burning his redshirt with 4 games left.

Surely the MAC isn't the worst in 1-A this year.

just wanted to quote this in case you you delete it and someone questions how dumb OU fans can be.

Brian Walsh tweeted Forsythe was cleared to play this year

Sounds like Commack and Freeman are in, just playing a little banged up

Presley, Commack and Freeman out. Oh boy

he sure ain't go to school to major in english

I'm excited for akron football. Haven't said it in a while. Judging by the traffic here, I'm not the only one.

I don't think anyone's apologizing for the refs. We all know the calls were terrible. But we had plenty of chances to win this game.

Oh come on. Dysert had the MAC record for yards. Penalty yards aren't included in that.

We let up 56 points.
