I stayed first half with my comrade above. Too much over the top long ball into offensive third. Need to play more through balls diagonally on the ground. Fitness seems to be an overall issue. Good News is that I enjoyed watching and will return.

At noon.....

Indoors Checkers; Outdoors Chess.

One hell of a heavy shot! Real power!

Crazy ? schedule. Every single player dressed should see time.

These polls will all look similar come November. Some polls are more credible than others. Disregard College Soccer News entirely.

Good news is that Zips will have ample opportunity to beat highly ranked teams. They will have their chances, which can't always be said.

Shutz's card was absolutely warranted. Not because of the tackle itself but because Nate was the last defender when opposition had "clear path to goal ". Poor anticipation and positioning by the defensive unit as a whole was at fault on that play. Given the mess he was already in, Nate did the right thing in taking down the guy, and Nate made that decision in a nano second. It cannot be proven, but Shultz likely preserved the draw. I do NOT mean to insinuate that Nate or any other Zip played well.

Maybe we are no longer good enough to rule the MAC.

Marcel Zajac's first score was spectacular. If anyone has video on that, please share.

Bad News: We will struggle to win the MAC Auto Bid. Good News: It will be well worth it.

G 0000 AL!

Paging GauchoDan! Paging GauchoDan! Please report STAT!

It is still early in the season. Last year we were ranked #1 at this point, and that certainly changed.

Very sloowwww.

Joao is very decisive when he takes any risk. If he surges forward, he does so with pace and conviction. We have not seen that here since Zarek Valentin. I doubt Zips coaching staff is totally cool with that, BTW. Not from CB. And when Joao decides a play is over, it is over! There is either a change in posseion or a foul. ❤️ Joao!

Impressive Victory! Joao Moutinho #2 continues to shine from the back line at CB. He is officially my favorite Zip. He has a good all round game, with a bit of nasty. His potential is limitless. Daniel Strachan #25 was surprisingly proficient at CB as well.

I believe it is documented somewhere on this forum that I observed Skye Harter as having the best Spring campaign of any Zip. I now rate Harter ahead of #13 at HMF (no offense intended toward anyone).

Welcome! Stop back early and often!

Scrimmage vs. Loyola really must have taken a toll on Zips. Overall health of squad is an issue going in to Denver.

2017, but I dig the enthusiasm.

Loyola MD were a good test for Zips. They were athletic and organized. Zips played well for most of the match. But the last 10 minutes was a train wreck. No purpose is served by calling out players who will likely play a total of 10 minutes on the year. Embick emptied the bench for the last 20 plus bench. Even so, the Zips in there played abysmally. There is no way Loyola should have had all those chances in the last 10 minutes, with their starters in or not. Doesn't matter. I am disappointed that some at the end of our bench played as though they had some better place to be, something else they preferred doing. There was no pride in Zips' performance during the last 10 minutes of that match. I hope that bitter taste in our mouths (coaches, players, everybody) stays until the victory over Utah Valley State is safely in the books.

For me, bright spots were Joao Moutinho #2 at CB and David Egbo #14 at Striker. Moutinho is confident on the ball, an accurate passer, and has quick feet. Very pleased with him. Egbo is a beast, very strong. And very physical. He reminds me Jozy Altidore. Egbo shows willingness to link up with teammates in the final third.
