Yeah,.....that is pretty much it.

It sounds like we aren't unusual in this regards. When is Akron going to get it's own thread on the BigSoccer board? That is one step in moving our program forward, because that board is the most read in American futbol. Wish I had the time to be the BigMike of Akron soccer! Amen, Z.I.P.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree and,in fact,it would be great to get the infernal music banned altogether. It is terrible sitting in the stands and having that noise blasting in your ears. BTW,it has nothing to do with the fact that I am an old guy You are spot on with that one, Bisbee. Start a separate thread so we can all pile on. Only then will we get someone's attention.

Much of this seems like complaining about the ice cream being too cold. One point on which I can grumble is the playing of music after a victory. Whom do we need to bother to get the music turned off after a win? One of you students know? This needs to change immediately!

Buck John Fluem!!!

The Akron till I die one is actually in the Rowdies repertoire, we just don't use it that often. Use it tomorrow, Jacob! Now is the time! It sounds appropriately English.

I saw this kind of crap versus Fullerton and it was not a pretty sight. I only heard the audio of the Fullerton match. However bad that was, expect worse from OSU. From the coach on down, OSU hates that Akron is better. This is our biggest rivalry, Bisbee. Hopefully the refs come prepared and dont let anything get out of hand. That's on the field. I hope the security guards come prepared and don't let anything get out of hand off the field. I would hate to see this rivalry ruined and our atmosphere behind the goal at games be ruined because it's too intense and people can't control themselves. I hope those wearing red will not be boisterous or uncouth, before, during, or after the match. Such indiscretion would be very foolish!

Will Luke Holmes start tomorrow?

You youngins' come out and pack the house! "Fill the Hill" as they say. This will be a rough match, with many cards, possibly injuries. It matters not what the respective records are.

I have not watched practice in months. Is it likely that Holmes will start vs. OSU?

And that is how one comes back from suspension. That a boy, Darren!!!

Notre Dame - 1 Louisville - 0

Mattocks looks really in form?

Mattocks already scored? Seriously?

Yes, that is correct. An OSU win knocks down Louisville further in the polls, and also bolsters Akron's RPI.

Meves – 6 - Why is he consistently outkicked by counterpart (punts and GKs)?Yedlin – 7 - superb except in his passing.Gallego – 5 - What is up with this young man? He has lost his way.Barson – 7 - Mr. Consistency.Mayer – 6 – erratic but talentedBrenes – 4 - tentativeTrapp – 7 - anchor in the middle of the pitchCaldwell – 7 – Scotty on the spot.Quinn - 5 - looked tiredStevenson – 7 – good and improvingBarrett – 3 - He looks only for through ball, never to post up. How many offsides?Schmidt – 7 – spark of the benchBalogun – 7 – solid - Does he start for the rest of season?Portillos – 5 – valuable off the bench but not yet at his best

I too look for Holmes in the withdrawn F role, which is essentially what everyone is trying to find a different way to say.Incidentally, Yedlin played a whale of a match Sunday.

Is Balogun injured? I did not notice during the match, but after viewing the recorded broadcast, I wonder if Brenes will start vs. CalPoly.Also, I wonder who will start at Forward with Mattocks serving a minimum (and well deserved) one game suspension.I would rather a look at Chiu than see Schmidt start.

Sounds like the "host" is trying to make amends for referring to the AK-Rowdies by some other name a year ago -- what was it? He's a good guy, though, so humor him! I remember the soccer games were played between the HS band show and the football pre-game during Acme-Zip Saturdays -- however I never witnessed one as they always came about 3-4 hrs before the football game. Not sure how many folks were present -- but probably more than the 500 or so who watched at Lee Jackson in the day. I hope I can get off work at 1 o'clock to watch Friday. Go Zips!Z.I.P.,If what you are saying is accurate, then there probably were not so many people watching the Soccer matches several hours before the Football games. It certainly seemed like a huge crowd to me at the time. Memory is often distorted when recalling from age 11. Regardless, I am positive that I saw many of the Soccer matches. My father made that happen. We would generally arrive before half time of the Soccer, eat after the match, watch warm ups and first half of Football. There were sometimes fireworks, I think at half time of Football.

My earliest exposure to Zips Soccer was in the Rubber Bowl circa 1976. Old timers remember that Soccer matches were played directly before Football games. The ACME Zips game at the beginning of the Fall seasons used to be a hunormous local draw. Consequently, sellout crowds were introduced to Zips Soccer.George Nanchoff is still the best Offensive MF I have seen play for the Zips. He was unstoppable! Off the dribble, long pass, short pass; he could do it all. George was just as technical and creative as his son is, but superior to his son athletically (sorry, Mikey). George had good straight on speed and was strong on the ball.

Gallego under red card suspension?Mayer still injured?Dagilis at CB? Way to go Matty!

Thanks, bobbyake!

Very sad tidings!Shaun was an excellent player, one of the best Zips ever.

Adam,Consider this incident part of your education. We the Faithful accept your apology; time to move on.Give a Zips' shout out to both Coach Giffard and Yoram Mwila.If ever in the NEO, stop in to catch a soccer match. You will not be disappointed.
