Biggest match of the season - so far.

I sure hope so.

Both yellow cards were warranted. Marco arguably could have earned three yellow cards. He seemed destined for ejection from the outset.

This is unquestionably the most important match of season - so far.

Egbo’s Golazo will be discussed for a long time!

W-D-L 23-2-0 2009 = ?

Official NCAA RPI is out. Zips clocking in at 103.

I too will single out #2 Pol Hernandez for sustained and improved contribution. Keep up the strong work!

Baller!

Sandon Mibut: "There have been four-year players at Akron who lost fewer games in their college careers than the Zips have this year." "The former just makes the latter all the more baffling. " http://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/2ndstar-akron-zips-2019.2092754/page-7

Zips presumably practice at least a little bit on defending Corner Kicks. All evidence to the contrary! Winner of the MAC Tournament gets the automatic bid. Chances of winning that tournament increase significantly when hosting said tournament. No MAC matches have been played yet. https://lflrankings.com/conf.php?c=MAC& In summary, the MAC Tournament auto-bid is out there for the taking. Zips have not missed the Tourney since 2006.

MAC matters! Nothing else!

So, it is confirmed? I am happy to be wrong on this one. It is surreal to discuss the possibility of a losing record. Unbelievable!

I have an old book somewhere in my personal library solely regarding execution and defense of Corner Kicks. Need to find that.

Not a given, mathematically speaking. But it is a tall order for Zips to win out. It can be done, but it is not bloody likely.

We now have to start worrying about having enough total wins. Assuming we can win the MAC (no small feat), we need to worry about every match here on out because NCAA does not permit into the Tournament any team below .500 winning percentage. And this was absolute rubbish. Butler does not look as good as half the teams in the MAC.

Daniel Strachan is the best player on the Zips right now. His moving to holding MF may be the change that reclaims the season. Last year, it was the moving of Abdi Mohamed to RB. Embick knows how to pull-off this kind of stuff.

Florida International is arguably even better than Stanford. This will be a very stern test for Zips.

Love AK Rowdies!!!!

Feels good, don’t it!!! That’s what I shouted to Ritaccio as the team exited the pitch. Callout to Mr. Smith from Georgia! It was pleasure taking in the match with you. Hope to see you again soon.

Brute force and awkwardness! Whatever it takes!

Who will attend the first Zips victory of 2019? Anyone?
