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?

Yes. Exactly.

And as proven many times over (especially last year), these rankings matter very little, if at all. What does matter is the official RPI ranking. Akron is currently ranked 33rd.

Spartans are a good side, even better than usual. If Zips play as they did vs. Buffalo, they will lose.

Good RPI points for Zips.

Bravo!

Score! Zips win 2OT! Tell me, is whiskey good for ulcers?

Is the camera facing south? Looks like we have the fairly strong wind in the second OT.

Unbelievable! OT! This season sucks! Not a fun moment ever!

We nearly lost in the 83rd minute. Great save Pina!

Anyone got the stream?

Is anyone making the trip up? I will be watching the stream. http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2013-14/rele.../20131017906wvy

Hey, Lee Adams! I'm thinking of a comment. Do you want to guess what it is? Please continue not posting on "the soccer side" if all you can muster is to almost say something.

I sorta ran into George Nanchoff walking into the Wake Forest match. He told me Mike is doing very well, in the starting 11, scoring some goals, and he is generally loving life in Sweden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6nk%C3%...s_S%C3%B6dra_IF https://twitter.com/mnanchoff

Anyone thinking this will be a walk-through is mistaken. And Zips are not healthy. It will take great determination to put away this match early. http://www.buffalobulls.com/sports/msoc/index

This was first quality match since victory over Furman. Well done, boys!

I believe I will attend The March tonight. I only waste my time on such silly practices when it really matters. Should I expect it around 6:00 pm? The team needs to feel both the love from their supporters and the gravity of the task at hand.

Forgive me if this has already been posted. Article highlights the relationship between DN and CP. It was mentioned during broadcast of last night's Timbers/Sounders clash. http://www.oregonlive.com/timbers/index.ss...be_profile.html

And so it has come to this. It is unlikely Zips can lose this match and still get a first round bye in the NCAA tournament. http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/m-s...occer-body.html Demon Deacons still sit atop ACC.
