Was Bryan Gallego not Great Lakes Region First Team and All-MAC First team and NSCAA All-America Second Team in 2013? Apparently, that was not good enough to be one of the four finalists for LCB. I believe Joao Moutinho won that spot on the All Decade team, and I have no problem whatsoever with that. But doesn't Gallego merit some recognition?

Well, this Team Of The Decade Twitter debacle has gone from shamefully misguided to laughably absurd. I have not yet spoken out because I am loathe to denigrate current players. Skye Harter has drawn the unlucky short straw in that regard, having recently depleted his eligible years. (Sorry Skye; love you, man!). BUT who among you believes Skye Harter had a Zips career equal to Aodhan Quinn’s? Manuel Cordeiro’s? MUCH, Much, much less the Zips career of Richmond Laryea! Who would you pick first on your team for 6v6 rotating scrimmage? Seriously. Unfortunately, local boy Skye Harter is probably fourth on this list of four. He might say so himself. And yet Harter leads the poll! Surely! You! Jest!

And Freshman Jordan Seaman #12 acquitted himself well, starting at RB. He had a few questionable plays, but he also made a few brilliant plays. He seems a Defender with a mind for offense, rather than an Midfielder repurposed to play along the back line. He will use either foot, which is huge in my book. Today’s performance makes me want to see more.

Egbo over Mattocks?

#6 shirt has recently become available.

By mandating a 4-3-3, they will force all of us to play Nagbe out of position at F. Nagbe supposedly played F with Zips, but it was a withdrawn Forward position.

Definitely in.

I had thought Ben Zemanski had already graduated. Well done, nonetheless.

Wil Trapp. One L. Two Ps. Magma Cum Laude!

Is there any possibility of Jason Shokalook graduating high school over the summer of 2020? Just asking.

Marcel looked really fit when we briefly saw him after the MAC tourney. Unfortunately, no one was really enthusiastic about talking to him. Not at all his fault; the timing was bad.

I still filled out a bracket on Big Soccer. Can you say "junkie", boys and girls?

Sure would be a swell night for a footie! Perfect weather.

Yes, TennZip. Morgan Hackworth's calm decisions were sorely missed in 2019.

As freshmen go, I would call Mani Austmann the surprise pick of the litter, followed by highly touted Will Jackson.

Yes. Hiking at the moment, so I cannot list the years. For most of a decade, as I recall.

Absolutely!

And the brutal OOCS is what makes us nationally relevant, something we cannot claim in any other team sport.

After deserving the award for at least three out of the previous seven seasons, it is cruelly ironic that Jared Embick is MAC COTY upon turning in his worst season as HC. The answer to fixing MAC Soccer is not to shrink the field of participants, but to add quality provisional members, such as U of Kentucky.

@malonepioneer12 Sorry. Out of Likes (so dumb). I agree with nearly all your points, except one. You are really de- valuing Ben Lundt’s contribution over the previous three seasons. Only in his absence do we realize how good a GK Ben Lundt is. I am just as guilty of under-appreciating Ben. But I can clearly see it now. No Zips GK has yet eclipsed Evan Bush, but I would put Ben Lundt second on that list. Onward and Upward!
