http://www.wvusports.com/page.cfm?story=30164&cat=exclusives above is the WVU press release this is the paragraph...where Travis Clark....deduces that Akron, W.

Playing in Akron, Ohio, WVU begins the year against Seattle on Friday, Aug. 26 before facing Georgetown on Sunday, Aug. 28. The Mountaineers are on the road for the final four matches of the regular season. The roadtrip begins at Akron on Friday, Oct. 21. A perennial national championship contender, Akron advanced to the NCAA College Cup a year ago.

Akron obviously has not released their schedule yet West Virginia announced their schedule today West Virginia plays at akron on October 21. However, the exciting news....is that it looks like Akron will be playing Georgetown and Seattle on August 26 and August 28 Travis Clark tweeted this message

http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/04/28/naivete-caleb-porter-how-he-reinvented-himself-and-his-team I thought this was worth a separate topic. I was glad to see Darlington Nagbe able to return last night and play against the Revs

Thanks for finding this article and sharing. Jared is a very hard worker and he is very smart. I am very glad that he is Akron's coach.

http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2015-16/releases/20160424o5qlfy Stuart must still be injured? Ezana has done well in the spring

http://www.onceametro.com/2016/4/21/11461056/nyrbii-and-academy-roundup-najem-simpara-diving-and-more-usl the newspaper covering the new york red bulls...has another article that mentions Adam....and I really like Adam's post above (thanks, Nate for posting) In some possibly more positive news for the Red Bulls, Adam Najem is not going to Europe, at least for the moment that is. Najem was reportedly leaving Akron after his junior to pursue opportunities in Europe, however, this appears to have come to nothing. Then, on Saturday, Najem reappeared, standing in street clothes at a Zips spring game. In tweets that have since been deleted, local Akron sports reporters stated that Najem will be returning to the Zips for the 2017 season. The tweets' deletion leaves Najem's status still up in the air, but it appears he is leaning towards a return to the States.

not sure if this is the right topic...but I posted ztv's tweet the other day in this topic... and I agree with Katie King....about the exciting news

my bad......and Teal Bunbury with a goal to tie it....let's go, Revs

tweet from zip tv sports (at yesterday's spring games) below...I am looking forward to seeing the captain and excellent student...on the field in August, September, October, November and December

http://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2016-04-16-portland-timbers-vs-san-jose-earthquakes/boxscore Kofi Sarkodie played 90 minutes for San Jose last night. Zarek played all 90 for Portland and Darren Mattocks played 63 minutes. Darren exited the game after taking a shoulder to the head. Looking forward to watching Scott Caldwell on ESPN this afternoon at 2:30 central time. Go, Zips and Darren got fined for Embellishment http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/04/15/mls-disciplinary-committee-fines-portland-timbers-forward-darren-mattocks

Garber, at least, seems to have some common sense. Bruce Arena definitely raised some blood pressure with his comments. Best wishes, Darlington, for a fast recovery from this vicious foul. http://www.espnfc.com/major-league-soccer/story/2850753/mls-to-ban-nigel-de-jong-for-darlington-nagbe-tackle--garber

Travis Clark's take on a possible Copa America squad http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/the91stminute/2016/04/heres-a-possible-u-s-starting-xi-for-the-copa-america-centenario/#more-41149

http://www.oregonlive.com/timbers/index.ssf/2016/04/portland_timbers_prepare_to_fa_1.html#incart_river_index I hope that the refs learn from this and do more to protect Darlington, the most fouled player in MLS. He really gets beat up on a consistent basis.

and Travis Clark...gave the best goal of the week....to Ben Speas

Travis Clark has a tweet showing a nice assist for Richie Laryea....the guy who posted it....put Reggie on the video

Congratulations to the humble Michael Nanchoff

the zips actual sports web site....actually has an article on the next 2 spring games....alas, they don't even mention that the games were originally scheduled for Saturday night in Akron. I will be kind and say that I have seen much better sports info directors than the SID for Akron mens soccer. I guess he must think that all Akron soccer games religiously check the zips soccer twitter account? Men's Soccer Continues Exhibition Season Battling Cleveland State/Slippery Rock AKRON, Ohio - The University of Akron men's soccer team continues exhibition action this Sunday, April 10, as the Zips will travel to Cleveland State to battle the host Vikings and Slippery Rock in a pair of games. Akron will square off against Cleveland State at 1 p.m. inside the practice bubble at Krenzler Field before facing Slippery Rock at 3:30 p.m.

ME87....thanks much for the heads up on the change... that is very nice of Cleveland state to schedule that quickly and to let Akron and Slippery Rock play the 2nd game in the Cleveland State "bubble"
