One of the greatest college soccer coaches ever has died. His like may never be seen again. https://uclabruins.com/news/2018/12/26/mens-soccer-legendary-ucla-coach-sigi-schmid-passes-away.aspx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigi_Schmid

Reportedly spurned by at least three high profile coaches, Louisville (correctly pronounced Loserville) Men's Soccer has finally found their coach from among extant assistants. Louisville KY native John Michael Hayden arguably should have been their choice all along, except for the university's penchant for hostile takeovers and corruption. Nonetheless, John Michael Hayden is a highly regarded up-and-coming coach. So, look out. https://gocards.com/news/2018/12/27/hayden-chosen-to-guide-uofl-mens-soccer-program.aspx

Congratulations Zarek Valentin on 1) marriage 2) graduation !!! Once a Zip; ALWAYS a Zip!!!

Jared Embick to Louisville......NOT!!!

Thank you, Jared Embick for choosing to see the very best in us. We are eternally thankful for your faithfulness. It is now time for UA AD to respond in kind. Akron Soccer must be afforded ALL the Resources and Support commensurate with a perennially elite program. We should not envy any other programs for anything. Larry Williams, recognize the best card in your hand, and play it accordingly. Louisville is unlikely to come for our Basketball coach, or our Football coach. But Louisville evidently really likes our Soccer coaches. There is a message there, Larry. Be smart enough to see it. Invest In Excellence!

The time for torches and pitchforks has not yet come.

Great Story!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akron_Zips_men's_soccer Stu Parry started Akron Zips Soccer program in 1954. Some current powerhouses are relative youngsters. Penn State 1911 (wow) Syracuse 1920 Clemson 1934 Duke 1935 UCLA 1937 Connecticut 1939 Virginia 1941 Maryland 1946 North Carolina 1947 Akron 1954 Hartwick 1956 Michigan State 1956 St. Louis 1959 Denver 1961 Washington 1963 Boston College 1967 Indiana 1973 Stanford 1973 Notre Dame 1977 Creighton 1979 Louisville 1979 UAB 1979 Wake Forest 1980 Kentucky 1991 New Mexico 1996 Michigan 2000

Right On, Brother! Keep making observations and asking questions. Keep this in perspective. Although Futbol may be somewhat new to you, it is not a new sport. It is older than America’s “pastime” of Baseball. All the history and tradition comes with that. Furthermore, UA is among the oldest soccer programs in America collegiate athletics.

Joey Paulus is good. I saw him twice last year, and once this year. Mo Leftys; Mo Better. Believe you me that it is no coincidence that so many left-footed players come to Akron.

You are correct, sir. Now, an offensive player who is left-footed may often play on the right so that he can cut inside for lefty shot. The further back an outside player is positioned, the more likely he will play on his predominant side. Lefty Defender is more likely to drive to end line to cross with left foot. You are asking the right questions.

Was there.

If I had my druthers, every player would red-shirt and stay 5 years, like Ezana Kahsay.

Yep. I remember. He really did look like a recruit at the time.

You are right on the money, my friend! We. Train. Pros. The MLS and USL is littered with former Zips. And we are not done with that yet. Not by a long shot. That is our calling card. As Kentucky is to NCAA Basketball, Akron is to NCAA Soccer. Emotionally speaking, I want underclassman to stay. I get attached the these guys. And I desperately want to win championships! But it is a good thing for the program, every time a player gets one of those Generation Adidas deals with guaranteed six figures $. Better advertisement for the program is not even for sale, and is therefore priceless!

Maybe. Maybe not.

The eyes of a mad man.

How long before Wil Trapp in Europe somewhere?

@UAZipster0305 Very good recap. At first blush, I thought Biros kicked the Maryland player in the face. I agreed with the PK decision. Upon watching it a few times now, I am not so certain. That PK definitely altered the match. Yes. Zips must learn to deal with physical and/or direct styles. And they did that for most of the post season. Maryland was very well coached on beating the Zips. Yes. The future is bright as long as Embick is at the helm. He has proven himself. If the Zips keep all their underclassman, we are poised to win the championship in 2019.
