However, the beacon sends a rented reporter to kalamazoo The alton, Illinois paper sends a reporter to Kalamazoo...to cover SIU-E (see attached article-....more grousing about the last throw in) if you look at Kalamazoo paper...they only have press release from WMU

yes, Larry was at Marquette at the time..... However, it was about 0 to 5 above at game time.....nature took care of the field no behind the scenes field doctoring from Larry's friends at Marquette

https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/USMI0442:1:US the weather looks awful for Kalamazoo light freezing rain....from midnight to 8 am high of 38 , low of 35 from 1pm to 3pm...with 40% chance of showers going to be a very sloppy field

http://wmubroncos.com/news/2017/11/10/mens-soccer-headed-to-mac-championship.aspx zips fans...get there early if you are traveling to the "zoo" sounds like they are expecting a record crowd head coach Chad Wiseman: "The table is set for yet another top 10 showdown at the WMU Soccer Complex on Sunday, this time with a championship on the line. I expect the atmosphere to be incredible. Our University and community will be out in full force, it will be a game you won't want to miss."

the team on here....that I do not want to play....is Wisconsin.... they are 26 in the RPI and could be a round of 32 matchup for a 7 or 8 seed Wisconsin has knocked off Maryland and an excellent Michigan team in the big 10 tourney Wisconsin is a very dangerous team right now

ESPN3

some of the VCU goals were very cool

Congratulations to former zips assistant Dave Giffards His VCU team is having a really nice year they defeated Rhode Island 2-0 in A10 semis yesterday to move up to #13 in RPI they play #21 U Mass in A10 finals

Beacon sent a stringer to Kalamazoo https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/university-of-akron/university-of-akron-mens-soccer-skye-harters-last-second-goal-sparks-zips-to-2-1-ot-win-over-siu-edwardsville-in-mac-tournament-semifinal

comments from the SIU-E coach http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2017-18/releases/20171110mgtgye

Jon Bluem and the BloHio State Buckeyes will be watching the NCAA tourney from the sidelines at 70 minutes, Indiana leads BloHio State 4-0 BlowOhio State will end the year with a 8-10-1 mark

20-3 advantage in shots and 7-0 in corner kicks.... they will be a very formidable opponent on Sunday...... very talented soccer team.....

that will help the zips Michigan was 13 and wisconsin was 31 Michigan could have jumped the zips with a win

Stanford moved ahead of the zips in RPI last night.... time to get win #1 today...and start climbing

some very nice quotes about Akron an article written.....by a paper close to SIU-E http://www.thetelegraph.com/sports/112207/siue-set-for-akron-in-mac-semifinals-zips-coached-by-granite-city-native-jared-embick

you beat me to it.... I was just getting ready to post that Joao was clearly a super freshman I think that Daniel Strachan is very underrated by the coaches....Daniel had a really great year

WVU !!!

UCLA should not be on your list....they can not make the NCAA tournament due to being sub .500 they are 7-9-1 and only have one game left

Bethlehem Steel feature on their #24 will always be #10 to Akron fans http://www.bethlehemsteelfc.com/news_article/show/853831?referrer_id=2449180
