http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/the91stminute/2016/10/everybody-lost-in-the-needless-nagbe-klinsmann-showdown/ I have always been a huge fan of Darlington Nagbe's skill set. Conversely, I am not a Klinsmann fan. After reading this article, I am even less of a Klinsmann fan. Darlington can do things on a soccer field that others on the USMNT can not do.

In Nick Hinds defense, he made a beautiful entry pass to Stuart on the 2nd goal. There was Stuart and 4-5 nittany lions in the box and Nick hit a beautiful cross into the box.

http://news.psu.edu/story/388208/2016/01/19/athletics/paralysis-fails-slow-athletes-drive this is a good article on why Penn state is honoring the former Akron/Penn State player. When Penn State played at akron last year, several Akron players posted very nice photos and kind words about Brett.

http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/101716aab.html writeup from the Penn State web site... very nice that they are honoring former Akron and Penn State soccer player Brett Gravatt. Brett is a very courageous young man. The match will also feature a special halftime presentation to honor former men's soccer player Brett Gravatt and all Ability Athletes.

has this young man signed a letter of intent? is he a goalie?

Thanks for making the long trip to East Lansing and supporting the zips.

akron playing 10 against 11...as Ezana got a red card

my mistake....corner kicks in the first half....(not penalty kicks)....very sorry

1-0 Michigan State...at half time they scored on a penalty kick around 22 or 23 minutes game tracker shows that Adam Najem was replaced by Marcel Zajac at 36 minutes Jonathan Lewis - yellow card at 9 minutes Akron corner kicks in the half were taken by Pau ; Nick Hinds and Niko DeVera

some of their home games have been on big ten plus...this appears that it will only be tracked via game tracker (no video) http://www.msuspartans.com/sports/m-soccer/sched/msu-m-soccer-sched.html

http://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/features/wil-trapp-improvement-mls-future-usmnt-columbus-crew?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_m_medium=t This article is dated September 21...but I don't think that it has been posted on zips nation

Tuesday's opponent...Michigan State is now 8-2-1 after playing to 1-1 tie today with Wisconsin (Michigan State was 16 in RPI after friday's matches...they are now 27) Oregon State is now 4-5-3 after losing 1-0 in 2 ot's to Stanford from yesterday... SMU is now 4-8-0 after losing 1-0 to Temple #1 RPI team Notre Dame played to 2-2 tie with Wake Forest (28 in rpi) Georgetown is now 3-7-1 after playing to 1-1 tie with Marquette Penn State is now 97 in RPI and has 4-6-1 record after losing 1-0 to Indiana Cal Santa Barbara is 7-5-1 and 58 in rpi after a 2-1 win over Northridge UCLA is 6-3-1(25 in RPI) after 1-0 win over San Diego State (6-2-3 and 40 in rpi) Grand Canyon is 4-6-2 after losing 1-0 to Air force Seattle is up to 47 in the rpi and is 8-4-0 after 5-0 win over Houston Baptist zips show as #34 in rpi right now....looks like Michigan State at 27 and w. Virginia at 38...are the 2 highest rpi ranked teams remaining on the schedule http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank

In the mac opener for both , Western Michigan (now 8-3-2) and Northern Illinois (now 1-5-4) played to 0-0 tie so Akron and Bowling Green are the only 1-0-0 teams in the MAC after the first weekend Georgetown is now 3-7-1 after tieing 1-1 with Marquette (3-4-4) old conference rival Hartwick is now 7-1-2 and 44 in RPI after defeating Coastal Carolina 1-0 (Coastal dropped to #30 in RPI)...can someone explain to me how Hartwick is in the Sun Belt conference with a bunch of Florida schools and Carolina schools?
