Anybody watching semi-finals? Games are early this year, 5:00 and 7:30.

Creighton victors! Nice goal! Ethan Finlay.

UConn loses in quarterfinals on PKs - for the 3rd straight year! Can that be true?

PKs.

When you walk through a storm Keep your chin up high And don't be afraid of the dark. At he end of the storm Is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never walk alone. We gotta get our collective shit together and do this. This is something to work on for next year.

Was that not a first class score? I think that was five one touch passes, including the strike, on the ground, off the inside of the far post. ZNO, try to get video on that if you can.

Scoreless at FT. "A good match deserves a goal." Colin Rolfe with a brutal tackle. Easily could have earned a straight red but got a yellow. UCLA advances on a beautiful golden goal. Good match!

Jay Martin is a class act. This is not his first championship.

UCLA @ Louisville scoreless at 65th minute. This will be a firecracker finish. I predict a goal before PKs.

Darren, if you must go, please go to MLS so that we can watch you.

Exchange Street Elite! I liked it then, and I like it now.

So, you do not prefer the subject of word choice in composition?

Porter is not going to Michigan if he passed on Indiana last year . The Indiana one really worried me.

DarNag moves to MF in that lineup. WOW!

Ok. Bad choice of words on my part. Yes, word choice is very important (B.A. English, University of Akron) .

Sadly, these occurences were too infrequent this year . Here is to a better 2012 .

YOU are the embarrassment. OUR school is sick of YOU. Please exit in an orderly fashion. About the ONLY thing the entire world cares about simultaneously is soccer. Globalization already happened. Sorry you missed the memo. Is there really a Dumbest ZNO Statement of The Year award? How can we vote? Is some sort of temporary banishment involved?

Bobert, Thanks for the interesting refresher on field dimensions. I have heard this parlance (seemingly) my entire life: The 6- yard box, the 12-yard spot, the 18-yard box, the D, the circle, touchline, etc. Diminishing First Energy field dimensions is an extraordinarily bad idea. There is a very good reason Porter specified the size of the new field. He wants to recruit a certain type of player for a certain playing style. A narrow field necessitates a typical Big10 roster to play a direct style with lots of long ball and heading. Remember that Porter wants to change American soccer in order to compete better internationally. Field dimensions really hurt Zips vs. Charlotte. A very narrow pitch enabled 49ers to easily clog the middle with larger, slower, less agile, more physical players. Zips could not play the ball into the Midfield. Can someone get the dimensions to TransAmerica? The touch looked really close to the box.

Damn! I should have wagered for whiskey.

Agreed. We will need a tall striker. Stevenson will still be there for LB. Is the exit of David Mayer a foregone conclusion?

Define favorite. From a prognosticator’s perspective, North Carolina has been the odds on favorite since October. Personally, I believe Creighton will take them down in the final. Is North Carolina my favorite side now that the Zips are eliminated? Truth is that I have no second favorite side. To answer your real question: I suppose I will root a little for homeboy Ben Speas, as I have been following his career since 2004.

Mr. Chris Korb was in the house.
