Nevermind all that. Is the tailgate still on?

Forecast is 100% rain by kick-off. Bring your gear.

Great read.

Akron is currently 27. Penn State is currently 12. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1 RPI points are ripe for the harvest! Zips will need to be in top form to take all three. This match will go a long way in determining whether the Zips get a first round bye.

http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2013-14/rele.../201311043z92m7 Major props to Robbie Derschang! Maybe he is the answer to generating shots up front. Boy has been on a streak of late, shooting like there is no tomorrow.

+1

The boys proved me wrong; I am happy to be wrong! Well done, Zips!

Yeah. But I hope it is true. Tired of getting beat up by B1G!

I do not have the stream. My guessed formation: .............Stevenson Abdul-Salaam...Derschang Najem..................Quinn ...............Souto............ Portillos..............Foldesy ......Gallego.....Souders... ...............Pina..............

Has Robbie Derschang really scored 2 golas in the first half? Not sure what to believe with GT giving Ismail Seremba a yellow card.

Good! Be Loud! Be Proud! This is a very big match against a tough opponent in a venue in which we historically struggle. Zips need you guys!

Zips must get a result from Ann Arbor to have any hopes of a first round bye in the NCAA tourney. Wolverines need the match even more than we do, just to make the tourney at large. This will be an extremely tough match, one the Zips will need to dig deep to win. Frankly, I doubt this squad has what is necessary to take all three points. Depends on who is healthy. Go Zips! ... but I don't know. I have not missed a match since 2006, but it is difficult to consider 2013 season exactly enjoyable.

So, that's the worst name they could come up with?

The boys from Colorado really came through last night vs. NIU. Great effort by the Seniors! Bravo!

Good post. Keep it coming.

Zips really turn up the offensive pressure during the 2nd half. THis was a much needed win vs. conference foe. #7 NIU is a handful.

The Big East is consistently better in every sport with which I am familiar. Right? I do not think Akron could ever get into the ACC or the B1G.

Yeah. There are many reasons more than just soccer to leave the MAC, but only if the destination is a high profile, well-rounded conference such is the Big East. No reason to leave the MAC for, say, Conference USA. The obvious problem with that idea is that our Football is so bad, no other conference but the MAC will take us. Seriously. Joining the Big East has definitely been discussed, among others.

The MAC is horrible, barely worth even playing these teams. The MAC has always been bad, mediocre at best, but this season may be the historical worst. The ONLY thing the MAC can offer us (in MSOC) is an automatic bid to NCAA Tourney. That is it! Should we be fortunate enough to, you know, like, actually score a goal vs. NIU, and beat them at home, our RPI will still go down. Meanwhile, the ACC and Big East teams, even the average ones, do not worry about 3 losses during the non-con beginning of their schedule. As soon as they start playing within their respective conferences, their RPIs syrocket. And so it goes. Akron needs to either join the Big East or recruit Xavier and Cincinnati to the MAC. Or something.

That kid is a tackling machine! Do not make eye contact with the Souders. Cross the street to avoid the Souders. He wants contact. He turns 50/50% into 70/30%. Dribble at your own peril. Seriously, we have not seen this type of ferocious tackling at CB since Corey Sipos.

Most of the chemical spill went down my throat. But thanks for the advice. I sometimes get crazy and post without a spill check. Spell check.

Looks like the weather will be miserable, if you count 40` and rainy as miserable. Not sure if this will favor one team over the other, but it will definitely not favor me. Is it too inclimate to tailgate?
