If you read through those tweets, Coach Croft mentions that they want to set the MAC attendance record for women's soccer against Northern Illinois on Friday, September 28th at 7:30pm. The MAC attendance record for women's soccer is 2,539. Coach Croft wants to have 2,600 for the night! I'm always upset with the MAC on how they have women's soccer on the two days that people are preoccupied with the other football. Fridays for high school football, and sundays for professional football. That's why I always feel women's soccer never gets close to the crowds the men's soccer team gets(putting the nation's best program off to the side for now)...

Here's interim head coach(hopefully the official head coach by end of season) Vernon Croft's twitter account for Akron Lady Zips soccer... https://twitter.com/ZipsCoachCroft

Before Caleb leaves after the season, I hope I get to shake his hand and say thank you for all he's done for this university and community. As I was listening to "Big Head, Red Head" with Taylor Twellman and Alexi Lalas, they mentioned that he would be given two-three years to turn it around in Portland. If not, he's gone. And then, he will always have college soccer to go back to. In that case, if that would happen theoretically, would we move on from him, or would we take him back?

Not sure, but to be honest, I would like for Croft after this season to just get named the head coach instead of one year as interim...they couldn't really do a search for a new coach when Pfau left, and to be honest, Croft has done a great job of at least changing a little of what the women's soccer team hasn't had the past few years...

Akron loses a hard one, 4-0 to William & Mary...

Akron women's soccer team pulled out a great victory over a VCU team that people have competing to win the A-10 this year...Tough test against William & Mary on sunday, the top favorite to win the CAA...

The conference that Carrollton is in, the Northeastern Buckeye Conference, has some great offensive linemen...I came name 3-4 offensive linemen at West Branch that will be playing college football at the next level at a DII school at the very least. There's a kid at West Branch who will be a sophomore offensive lineman that's 6'4, 290 right now...

I thought the same as well, but she's back on the roster(At least in the prospectus she is back on the roster)

WBB Costa Rica daily blog WBB Costa Rica trip Prospectus (includes roster) Biggest thing out of that was seeing Rachel Tecca did receive a redshirt last year. She will be a RS junior along with Luburgh, Young, King, Cassell, and Guyton(s JUCO transfer). Only seniors are Taylor Ruper and Katie Bubna...

3-0...because i see us going 2-1 at worst with my expectations...we finish 1-2 or 0-3, and we're not as good as we think we are...

The one thing I did notice was that Coach Croft is already a better coach than Coach Pfau ever was here at Akron. If you ever saw a Coach Pfau team on game day, he wasn't really hands on. He never left his seat, unless he had something to say to an official. Coach Croft yesterday, was pacing up and down the sideline pointing, yelling, talking to players where they needed to be, and especially took time out to talk to players when they came out of the game to talk to them what they needed to do, and even saw him pointing and telling them where they needed to go or do what on the field. You have to also remember that Coach Croft has only been the interim head coach for about a month now, and he had even less time than that with the players. This team is just missing that killer instinct, and Coach Pfau never had that in my opinion. That's what Porter is so good at is getting the killer instinct out of his players. Majority of humans have the motivation/killer instinct towards something. It's just a matter of getting it out of them.Porter seems a great job of doing that, and that's why men's soccer program is at the level of what it is. Be interesting to see Coach Croft has in that department. Here's Coach Croft's twitter page. He seems very energetic and optimistic about the women's soccer program at Akron, by just looking at the tweets: Coach Croft's twitter page

So would Linhart be a fair comparison to Forsythe?

NCAA report

Central Florida receives one year football and basketball postseason ban Scholarship reduction as well... Most likely not much impact against us this year, but this is a home and home, correct? Could make a little impact on the game next season...

Not sure if it should go in this forum or the general discussion forum, but here's an article/phone interview of Terry Bowden's take on the Joe Paterno/Penn State scandal... Bowden's take on Penn State scandal EDIT: Bowden also touches on the Zips this upcoming season, and recruiting in Morgantown...

Some people like it, and some don't like it. But it's not a bad choice for the area. Friend from Baltimore came in town, and never gone to Cici's before(never heard of it before). He tried cici's while in town, and loved it...people will give a pizza buffet a chance...

CiCi's during happy hour would make a killing...it's a pizza buffet, with pasta, salad, and desserts...I feel it would do very well, and doesn't need to take much space up either...

Compared to the other sports, Football gets the most advertisement; HANDS DOWN. That's what i meant "market to death". It also doesn't help that I have a few ideas, that I kind of just coordinated with football, and just combined it with what actually gets marketed. I made a mistake...shocking, i know ...especially at eight in the morning... What I mean they don't know where to go, they don't even know gozips.com exists...that's how bad marketing/advertising is...It is getting better, but it's still really bad... And they do know within minutes, they ask me. What's wrong with that? Other than them having to here me talk to them where they're wanting to sit, what their thoughts of it are, etc.

I feel like he wanted this to be a "warning" towards the university and athletic department, that if you keep hyping up football that has only averaged a little over 1 win the past three seasons, and all I'm doing is getting us to the MAC Championship game every year giving us an opportunity to make it to the Big Dnace. Why should I stick around? It's really sad how it's treated. Football gets marketed to death, while I know for a fact that A LOT of my classmates I've had don't even know when the next basketball game is because they don't know where to look, or don't see any signs for it except for the big games, which are always advertised. The biggest thing that gets me is that why is the rec center closed during the football games? If you're making it closed during football games, you should close it for men's basketball, too. And then the can of worms open up...but it's already halfway open... I would be mad too if the place I coached at has better facilities for football who only has 1 or 2 wins a season, while I'm one of TWO programs in DI college basketball, that has the program in our conference championship game in six consecutive seasons. So you would think that I would be playing in a nice facility, right? Nope...playing in basically a high school gym... I have no problem to what Dambrot said as long as he made sure the players knew that he wasn't going to leave, and just said that stuff to give a warning out to the university/athletic department, that they need to start making this program one of their priorities. In scale of department's priority in athletic sports, it seems 1) Football, 2) Soccer, 3) Basketball. Dambrot could almost make an argument that Baseball is three over Basketball because they get to play at Canal Park which is equivalent to Infocision...

And you don't have to really recruit out of this area. Baseball team in Portage County just showed that a roster of 27 guys from Ohio, and 7 guys from Western PA can make it to the College World Series...Just have to get the right mix of guys...so hopefully Coach Rembielak can do that here...

women's sports killed us this year...here's the rundown: Football: Bad Guys W. Soccer: Bad Guys W. Cross County: Good Guys M. Cross Country: Bad Guys Volleyball: Split M. Basketball: Good Guys W. Basketball: Split M. Indoor Track & Field: Good Guys W. Indoor Track & Field: Bad Guys M. Golf: Bad Guys W. Golf: Bad Guys Baseball: TBD Softball: Good Guys M. Outdoor Track & Field: Good Guys W. Outdoor Track & Field: Bad Guys If you did it by gender, it's tied 3.0-3.0 with baseball remaining for male sports. Women's sports, it's 5.0-3.0 in favor of the bad guys...If Volleyball and Women's Basketball would not of split, and taken care of business, we would of been tied for women's sports at 4.0-4.0, and would of been tied 7.0-7.0 with baseball remaining to decide...and if WOMEN'S SOCCER, would of lived up to their expectations, and beat Can't, we would of won this damn thing...

I can't remember if I posted this already on another forum or not, but here's an episode of Criminal Minds that the setting of the episode is in Akron, Ohio. Here it is:

I hope it's not true...Just because i want Groce to get it...so he can take Cooper and everyone else with him too...
