  1. My family vacation videos have higher production values than this stream.
  2. Holy shite, what terrible camera work. Did we score?
  3. https://gozips.com/news/2018/10/18/womens-soccer-o-briens-88th-minute-goal-leads-akron-to-1-0-upset-over-bowling-green.aspx https://bgsufalcons.com/news/2018/10/18/womens-soccer-late-akron-goal-sinks-falcons-1-0.aspx
  4. You are still not getting it. It took me a while as well, so don't feel bad. It is not that RPI matters more in NCAA Men's Soccer than do the variety of popular polls. The real point is that these polls do NOT. MATTER. WHATSOEVER. Even the so-called Coaches' Poll is irrelevant. That is how there is such huge discrepancy across the six or seven (maybe more) polls. My personal College Soccer poll that I conduct at noon everyday in Perkins Park is just as important as the one from College Soccer News, or Top Drawer Soccer, or whatever the flock soccer poll. These polls are unfortunately nothing more than a marketing gimmick, one that the wise ignore. I look forward to the time in the near future when SIDs stop treating NCAA Soccer like sports with which they are already familiar. Don't believe the hype! As of this writing, Zips have an RPI of 32, so that is their ranking. Yes, they were overrated early this season.
  5. Wil Trapp. That's with one L and two Ps. He should captain the USA through WC qualification. Fine leader. Technically flawless. Love Wil Trapp! I love DeAndre Yedlin too, also one of my all-time favorite Zips! Great guy from a great family! I well with pride every time I watch DeAndre play professionally, especially when he dons the USA shirt. BUT, what the Hell was Yedlin thinking about during that Friendly vs. Peru? His body entered the match, while his mind evidently did not. @yedlinnny. Come on, Man. These young USA players look up to you, DeAndre. Be the leader they need you to be. USA Soccer needs you now more than ever.
  6. Player clearly was shooting in frustration while game ending whistle was still blowing. No RC deserved. No way! Worst referee I can remember. And I do not generally remember refs (boring).
  7. Well, I for one, will remember it going forward. I only hope that Zips coaches emphasize it more than they seemingly have. Every year there is a player flirting with YC suspension. And it is rarely from only playing hard.
  8. There you have it, chapter and verse. I cannot recall a player reaching YC suspension through smart and sportsmanlike play. At minimum, two of the YCs involved are from utter foolishness. And that is all it takes. Check the box scores. Many players cruise through a whole season garnering 1-3 YCs. Not uncommon at all. We all know the occasional YC comes through aggressive play. But if one has five YCs in mid-October, one is going about it all wrong.
  9. 5 YC = 1 match 3 YC = 1 match 2 YC thereafter = 1 match By the time one earns 10 YCs in a season, perhaps a different pastime should be considered.
  10. Marcel Zajac is rounding back in form. He had a fine outing. Carlo Ritaccio is growing up right before our eyes. He played like a MAN tonight. Probably his best match as a Zip.
  11. Presumably a coaching decision.
  12. Yep. If Egbo stays (big if), Zips will be really something special next season.
  13. Watch out for this guy! https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5052

  15. Truth! I hate them for it. They are cloistered in their RPI towers, artificially inflating each other’s rankings.
  16. Stellar ? idea!! Hope somebody is reading this!
  17. I’m not saying David Egbo is a good player or anything, but did anyone notice how different the match was in the last 15 minutes?
  18. http://football-formation.com/lineup/70052/proposed-Akron-Zips-10-9-18 Create your own lineup at football-formation.com Note formation.
  19. Time will tell, but we probably figured BUGS for the easiest conference matchup. MACtober is off to a slow start (cough).
  20. Interesting formation shift after the first half. I think it was 3-3-3-1. Milanese, Ritaccio, Strachan.
  21. Hard to play short passing style in standing water.
  22. If we do not take our defensive 1v1 battles more seriously, lineup and formation will be meaningless. Proposed... http://football-formation.com/lineup/70026/proposed-Akron-Zips10-6-18 Create your own lineup at football-formation.com Only David Egbo is in real championship form. Carlo Ritaccio is getting there. So, players on the bench should stay ready. Many jerseys may see action tonight.
