  1. With most of these men returning, and a whole tournament under their belt, next year will be a different story.Seemed like they were a little edgy, a lot of shots took off on them. Not next year.Wish I could join the party, gotta work. Great season.
  2. He wasn't 100% and came out in the second half.They weren't able to close out any attacks with him in there, and Bunbury has been unable to close the deal in his place.as of 12:00 left in the second
  3. Don't give them any ideas...Signed,A survivor of the pro indoor soccer era
  4. Sounds like coach is going to light a fire under a few butts during halftime...
  5. I'm thinking Anthony Schrock will stay, seeing how the new HC is also a former WR coach.Fingers crossed...
  6. Not to mention the program that consistently turns fans away because all the tickets have been sold.
  7. Rumor has Cleveland getting another ASL Second Division team. Which means third tier. Not an issue here.Akron could support MLS soccer.Who had the most profitable franchise in the MISL? Set attendance records?Summit County.Who had/has a top minor league baseball team in attendance, despite only being AA?Akron.And the Zips success could be the springboard to reigniting the soccer fan base. (Hey, that reminds me, we have a whole month without Springboard!!! )Being MLS would attract soccer fans from the Cuyahoga County suburbs. I think we can do it.
  8. I have run into people in Mt. Vernon who knew all about my small town high school alma mater, Chippewa (Doylestown). They listen to the Wayne County games on WQKT 104.5. Pretty stinkin' sad they can listen to Division 6 high schools (Dalton and Rittman are D6) from this area, but not the major college...
  9. Does 106.9 do the soccer games too? I gotta work.
  10. What's going on?Charlie Weis is too involved with damage control to Pete Carroll to fly in for an interview...
  11. Losing the starting QB to cleptomania, losing the backup to injury, not to mention the top reciever, it would be tough for any program to do well with a fourth string freshman redshirted quarterback.That said, I sincerely hope I NEVER EVER see the spread and the 3-3-5 as Akron's base offense and defense again. EVER. They make good situational formations, but are not base. You'll never recruit a QB with the slightest thought of sniffing the NFL with that gimmick O. And I can scheme against the 3-3-5, and I never coached above youth league.Great guy, built a team without the riff raff, great with the kids, but NO imagination.

    Thanks JD

    It'll be interesting to see what happens here. A lot of the problems weren't his doing. And he did bring in these guys with nothing but a toilet bowl to show as a stadium. His recruiting class this year isn't too shabby.I don't know if he gets fired. And I don't know how I feel about that. If he can get rid of the gimmicky defensive formation, and bring back the gunslinger offense he had when the team was winning, I think I'm OK with that. Part of me want to see who he can bring in, having the Info and everything else to sell to these guys. But none of me wants to see the 3-3-5 as a base defense ever again...
  13. OK, but unlike the basketball program, the soccer team doesn't play cream puffs in the non-con. We took on nationally ranked teams.I got my ticket, and am counting the hours...
  14. We have the makings of a GREAT quarterback. Poised, accurate, fearless. Too many passes we in the receiver's hands and they dropped them. Not as bad as Can't receivers, but still a concern.Next year he'll have an entire training camp working with the starting receivers, and get their timing down. Hopefully we'll have a better running game. But definately a nice big step up!!!
  15. The rivalry between the schools definately exists. It is bigger in sports that are popular and where the games count for something.But I was at the game last year at Can't, and the students had a lot of fun with it. It wasn't 'drunks beating the crap out of each other' like the Browns Steelers rivalry of old. If that's people's definition of a good rivalry, I don't want one. Last year that was a lot of fun to be part of. Not what it could be, but it was a good time. Especially leaving their house with the Wheel!!!
  16. For those who have just crawled out from under a rock in week three of the football season, and don't understand the rivalry, and you wonder if it exists, you obviously have not seen the two play each other in men's basketball.Last year was the first time in my life I have seen a scoreboard on TV that compared the number of floor burns. It's incredible, you gotta go to one or both this year.
  17. Maybe, but we set minor league baseball attendance records.Just gotta win once in awhile, put on a good show for families, advertise. Fans will start coming.
  18. Not basketball. When you lose to Sienna, and CSU goes rounds, NOT!!!Baseball maybe...What we REALLY need right now is for the Nati to beat the crap out of Purdon't and then they will shut up the Worthless Nuts for good.
  19. Janey, don't you lose heart. It's easy to get blinded by the light. We're headed for better days. Cincy is living proof what a human touch can do in a lucky town. There may be darkness on the edge of town, but still there's reason to believe. We just need the no surrender, tougher than the rest attitude. Point blank. We need a local hero to step up. They'll be racing in the street to get to my hometown for the rising. It'll be magic. I'm just waitin' on a sunny day. We shall overcome.
  20. Seriously???It's not some video maker at another college that's making this team look bad...
  21. To practice on the natural turf at the soccer stadium would put a lot of wear and tear on it. It's tough enough to keep grass on it all fall, without the daily soccer practices. And you don't want artificial turf in a soccer stadium.They're using it every day, I'm in Shrank a lot.
