Awesome! Thanks for the link.

Excellent points, Zip_ME87! Folks are calling for Embick's job? No soccer coach worth his salt would ever suffer the insult of any team practicing on his pitch. Dowdy likely would not. Parker would not. Lolla would not. Porter definitely would not. Embick absolutely should not! I am a lifelong Browns fan. I love the Cleveland Browns. But renting out FACC to them for practice is unconscionable! Should any Athletic Director or University President acquiesce to such idiocy, I will enthusiastically and vociferously campaign for their ouster.

Finally, something on 8Victor Souto! As stated before, Victor will essentially have no post season, regardless of Zips' fortunes. Paul Warner is gone? That explains some things.

Now, if we can just beat somebody.............

Well, somebody has got to say it; Zips are no longer even getting votes. http://www.nscaatv.com/rankings/3199/NCAADivisionI/men/Poll2 When was the last time we were not even in the honorable mention?

This story seems too stupid to be credible.

Yes, after adjusting our expectations from the start, we should be positive out of this draw. A gritty if sloppy result on the road in consecutive 2OT match within 48 hours. We were first to score. 14Cregan looks a better option at CB than 5Radjen, no disrespect intended.

It's a beautiful sunset. No wait, GOAL Najem!!

It certainly must have happened before, but I cannot recall ever being 0-2-0 (W-L-D).

Seems like a rough game, judging from the cards and from the sparse tweets.

Sam Gainford: I have heard good things, but I have not really seen very good things.

USF 1-0 UA HT This season may be even worse than I figured.

Corbett Soccer Stadium looks like a fine venue in which to catch a match.

Do you know for certain that the suspension is 4+2? Where is our SID? They should be telling me, not me asking them. Low rent service at a premium tuition cost!

I said I would get to this. Full Disclosure: Victor Souto has been my favorite player since his arrival. He plays the position, HMF, with which I most identify. Souto is keeping an illustrious tradition. Many fine futbollers have played Holding Midfield for Zips throughout the years. Several of these players are currently maintaining careers in MLS. We all know who they are. Souto plays with attitude and moxie. He is our enforcer on the pitch. But his conduct throughout spring soccer was deplorable, from consistently reckless tackling to haranguing of referees. He garnered one ejection and probably deserved another. Now seen through the lens of an NCAA suspension, his behavior appears maniacal. When did he learn of his suspension? In the spring? If so, he did nothing during the spring campaign but hurt his (and our) cause. At the very least, Victor needs to answer for earning yellow cards for berating the officials during August pre-season exhibitions. This was accomplished in very limited time during each pre-season match. What the hell!?!? With an NCAA suspension imminent, Souto should have been a model citizen on the pitch. I resisted the urge to yell, “Victor, you are outlining the target officials already see on your back!” What is the over/under for Souto yellow cards this season? What about red cards?

To my knowledge there is still no official communication from UA Sports Information Director regarding the suspension of Victor Souto. If the suspension was indeed handed down by the NCAA, as purported, then it is certainly not a private matter. When was the suspension adjudicated? Exactly what was the perpetrated offense? How many regular season matches will be missed? How many post season matches will be missed? Is the MAC Tournament considered post season? The Athletic Department owes us some sort of explanation, however brief it may be.

Zach, can you expound upon this point?

Not as close as score would suggest. Zips outclassed throughout. But for hitting woodwork twice, Lobos could easily have scored 3, maybe 4. Zips never really looked like scoring. 17Macchione needs to see more time. Where is 18Kahsay? Injured? Redshirt? Because I may have already seen enough of 5Radjen. Hope 25Caso is not seriously injured.

Anyone got the feed?

Are you out there? I refer to how the two stadiums, football and soccer, are cojoined.

I trust you "marked" the terrritory. They are suffering a drought, after all. But seriously, that is a pretty cool facility, no?

If pre-season is any indication, Zips will get spanked hard in ABQ tonight. Hank T (Lobos fan): Akron fans, if you're driving to Albuquerque for Friday night's game, it's 1590 miles and 25 Interstate hours campus to campus. The Lobo Soccer Complex field is 5335 ft. above sea level. Weather should be clear, about 80 degrees, 35% humidity, little or no wind at game time (7:00 pm local).

I love ABQ, and UNM is a great venue to watch a match. But I am not going to pay $1K, and take a day off work, just to see Zips get slaughtered.

Oh, I remember that match, all too well. You were there in the flesh, right? I only watched the stream. My major problem is with the flow of information from SID. Surely, an NCAA suspension is newsworthy. My other problem is with Victor Souto himself. I will address that later.
