Let me tell you of expectations.
I EXPECT to win the MAC Tournament every single year, and the automatic NCAA Tournament bid that comes along with doing so. Period! Until conference membership changes dramatically, the MAC will remain a second-tier soccer league. And! It! Is! Ours!
I EXPECT to beat MAC teams at home, especially squads that do not even have a winning record. Every time! No exceptions!
I EXPECT to earn a first round bye to the NCAA Tournament in most, if not every, year. Must have NCAA Tournament matches at home!
I EXPECT dominating football! Passion, Poise, and Purpose!
I EXPECT a team who EXPECTS to win!
I EXPECT some of the best and brightest youngsters on the continent to fall all over each other to sign here. Akron is among the oldest collegiate soccer programs in the country; we are approaching 60 years. There is a great tradition here. No program has more indirect funding or better facilities. A few programs have as good, but none have better.
