  1. Neither side looks better than us.
  2. At which time I will pay and subscribe.
  3. We are getting very close to full disclosure. I wonder what type of relationship Holmes had with English professional team. Was it Manchester City? This is a curious story. Should Mr. Holmes continue his recent success, some journalist will write a piece on him.
  4. Even worse! I love collegiate athletics, but the NCAA is the most corrupt organization in our society. Let me get this straight. Quinn can transfer from another D1 NCAA program without penalty, but Holmes suffers suspension for transferring from an NAIA program? Why the discrepancy? And why is ND barred from tourney?
  5. There's no question. Not only does he solve the link up problem between the midfield and forwards, he also stretches the field to the left. If you noticed in the games previously, we were being given the left side in an attempt to stop our attack down the right. They can't do that anymore. That is actually an astute observation. I am not even sure Holmes was placed on the left by design. Did he come in for Quinn? He seemed to naturally flow to where there was least pressure, or most space.
  6. ...so how about that Luke Holmes kid? I heard that he has two more gears. He needs a swank nickname. With a name like Holmes, well,... the possibilities are almost limitless.
  7. The entire team is better with Holmes on the pitch. I was eagerly anticipating his debut, but he managed to exceed my already high expectations. He starts from now on, right?
  8. Yeah,.....that is pretty much it.
  9. 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.!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. Buck John Fluem!!!
  13. 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.
  14. 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!

  16. Will Luke Holmes start tomorrow?
  17. 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.
  18. I have not watched practice in months. Is it likely that Holmes will start vs. OSU?
  19. And that is how one comes back from suspension. That a boy, Darren!!!
  20. Notre Dame - 1 Louisville - 0
  21. Mattocks looks really in form?
  22. Mattocks already scored? Seriously?
  23. Yes, that is correct. An OSU win knocks down Louisville further in the polls, and also bolsters Akron's RPI.
  24. 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
  25. 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.
