Wow, interesting tidbit is that they had pulled Steins scholarship last year when they brought in O'leary and tried to make him the kicker at the beginning of the season that didn't pan out.

Wkyc Facebook page has a post congratulating Zips has been out there 20 minutes. 230 likes and 10 comments with no negative ones.

Hopefully an outside back with Richie's speed!

Ironically the other Roos! UMKC.

I just sent some wake forest students over to cheer with the rowdies. They want to root against Stanford since they beat them

Bad news. Sounds like Robby got hurt at the last practice before they left for KC. Not looking good that he will play. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-soccer-notebook-robby-dambrot-suffers-leg-injury-in-final-home-practice-before-college-cup-1.646697

They are giving away 750 "ugly" t-shirts sweaters. I wonder if the students will do the same thing as the hats at the football game and show up at 6, get the shirt and leave.

For our anniversary I sent my wife to Art Uncorked in Canton to make an Akron sign for the man cave in the basement. During the month they have different classes where you can make different signs like family name signs, holiday signs and Suckeye signs. I emailed them and asked if we could make a Zips and they said yes and to just sign up for the class for the Suckeyes sign and just note the team we wanted to make. They charge an extra $10 for not doing an OSWho sign but I felt it was still reasonable at $50 since we would probably pay that if we found a similar sign of that size out there. I think it turned out well. If anyone else is interested you should look them up and get a few more Zips signs made there. https://www.facebook.com/artuncorkedstudioandgallery/?fref=ts

Not sure if it has been discussed before but after the game winner and many of the guys took off their shirts it looked like they were wearing a sort of "bra". After googling a little bit it actually looks like it keeps track of heart rate, recovery time and distance covered during the match, etc.

I convinced the wife and kids to go by saying that Saturday we would go to Silver Dollar City theme park Christmas in Branson. It's a little over 3 hours south of KC so thinking about staying in Clinton Missouri in between the two.

I am recruiting a few Latin's at work to come to the game and support their own Victor Souto. It sounds like I have at least 4 and possibly over 10. Let's try to get a huge crowd to see the Zips. I want to go to KC!

Really the game time won't be until 8:30 as the girls game tips at 6. Assume it takes 2 hours plus 30 minutes for warm up and it will be closer to 8:30.

Thanks for posting as I would have showed up at 7. May need to leave the wife and kids at home tomorrow for this one.

Good thing this list wasn't something other MAC coaches could vote on to say he wasn't one of the 22 best players in the MAC let alone the top 11.

Sorry if it struck a nerve with you but those who have been around the program the past few years know what talented kids with an attitude can do to the team. I realize he is coming back from injury. I don't think he went out to stretch and he wasn't riding a bike when he came out. He was pissed after getting yanked after a not so great shot. I wasn't paying close enough attention to see if that sub was already after the scorers table or if it came after the shot. I am very high on this kid so don't get me wrong. I view him as a player similar to Diggs. Someone who is an athlete, plays good defense and can drive to the hoop which this team needs. I like the jumper and if he continues to work at it and be a 40% 3 ball shooter that is going to make it very dangerous. I expect him to be a 3 year starter and coming from someone who played ball and wasn't nearly as talented as him I just want to make sure he doesn't get too down at times during games/season as he will be key during the stretch run and the MAC tourney. Mark my words, he will have a huge game of 14+ points at the Q as we continue the trek to get back in the tourney! Go Zips!

Thats what I heard from jrship earlier this week.

I didn't like in the second half when a player took a bad shot and then was subbed out and he preceded to walk off the court and through the doors to the gym. He didn't come back until an assistant went to get him. When he was back on the bench he sat back with one leg stretched out not celebrating with the rest of the team as we proceeded to hit a couple of shots. He actually got put back in the game about 2 minutes later as I don't think KD knew he had left nor saw the attitude when he was back on the bench. I hope said player is able to turn the attitude around for the rest of the year.

After trying to bet some Can't fans a Chipotle burrito at work like we typically do in football and basketball season one wouldn't do it even though I was willing to give him some points. I was able to sucker another guy in by giving him 4.5 points.

So if Pat is out for more than a week or 2. Does a redshirt get removed off of one of the other 2 freshman? I know we used Kwan to spell Pat a little last year when Big Dog was down but we need another post player just to help take up some fouls.

Agreed Skip. I seem to always be losing my Zips hat so I wanted to have an extra just to keep in the car. I was going to get there early to get my hat but since the weather wasn't terribly cold the wife said she would come with the kids (we were only staying until half due to other family obligations). I hurried her out the door and we got into the stadium a good 30 minutes before kickoff and no way were there 1,000 fans in there already. Why would you only do 1,000? They may need to switch to a voucher system if they are going to do that few and say you can term them in after halftime. Meanwhile at the soccer game yesterday for the t-shirt giveaway they seemed to have plenty left when I got mine 5 minutes before kickoff.
