Who is leaving the team during the off-season? I have heard nothing so far. I would be content with everyone returning.

Wow. Some of these old comments have proven to have been prescient. Other predictions have proven horrific (Steve Zakuani).

.500 in 3 years? Seriously? A good coach gets them to .650 next year. It could very easily happen; Akron has good talent.

One of the ideas under consideration is to split the season, half in early Fall, half in late Spring.

Right. Sub as much as you like but no re entry after subbing out.

UMBC are Cinderella. But they do not play beautiful football. More long ball counter attack with punishing, very physical defense.

Try Campus Books, right next to BW3 on Exchange. That is where I bought mine.

Hopefully, only a few roster spots will change over in 2015. If we are going to compete on a national scale using mostly red chip talent, then our saving grace had better be squad cohesion.

I always saw Bunbury as a winger rather than target forward like Robbie Keane.

I hate PKs when we win; I hate PKs even more when we lose. My preference would be to keep playing 45 minute "halves" until someone scores. FIFA substitution allows for only 3 per match. Someone would score sooner than later. But PKs is how The World does it, and they have done it that way for a long time. FIFA is not like the NFL where there are major rule changes every five years. Or, for that matter, the MLS where they evidently change administrative rules on a whim. FIFA is more like MLB, where change comes at a geologic pace. NCAA MSOC would gain relevance by adopting FIFA rules, falling in line.

I cannot possibly agree more with you. FIFA substituting would subsequently reduce OT due to player fatigue.

Bunbury MOTM!

I think Sean Sepe would make a fine OB. I said as much last summer.

Have you seen (Chris) Brennan play? He is a scorer without a conscience. Developmental Academies are great and all, but there is more than one path.

Yeah. This should be a separate thread. Start it and I will follow you there.

This should be the most stable off-season roster in some time. I would really like to get Brennan from Copley.

Wow. That depth of analysis should earn a gold star, Switchit. Much more than I want to know on PKs, but well done nonetheless. I copied your (and OSU) analysis to BigSoccer, with appropriate attribution (of course).

Hope TDS is right. I wonder if they realize Souto I not playing.

Hope Zips have respectable fan support. Be loud; be proud!

Will Parchman should immediately be ordered to stat care for drug testing.

Laryea's 7th yellow card was stupidly earned. Jaw-jacking at the ref.

RPI is King! Until the year when it isn't really.

If 10Najem, 8Souto, and 6Laryea play the next two seasons together, Zips will (again) be a contender in 2016. Those three together are a championship midfield.
