I sure hope that Coach Porter stays but I wish he and his family the best...whatever his decision is. Coach Porter has been great for the university and the Akron community. Class act.

the zips had a 15 minute stretch in the first half where they were very sloppy. From the opening of the 2nd half to when it was 4-0, they were much more stronger on defense Creighton ended up knocking off N. Illinois 3-1. Huskies scored first about 20 minutes into the 2nd half but Creighton scored 3 in last 25 minutes. That will be a true test next Friday. Everyone is concentrating on Indiana game on Sept. 7....but the Sept. 9 against the Irish could be a challenge. Dukies were badly outplayed last night. http://www.und.com/sports/m-soccer/recaps/082512aac.html

are Aodhan Quinn and Wil Trapp injured really missing Aodhan on the corner kicks

looks like they really relied on last year ending rankings With Creighton, S. Florida , St. Johns and IU matches in a 3 week period, the zips can really improve their ranking.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page438.htm zips are #2 3 acc schools and akron in the top 4

Anthony Ampaipitakwong......He believed in Coach Porter...and many top notch recruits followed Ampai to Akron

This is a great move by the MAC. This will give Akron another quality opponent every year

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page12693.htm several of the zip recruits dropped in the rankings???

ref had to have money on UNC. The game should be reviewed by the ref's committee. With Chico as the ref, charlotte would have won

I am pulling for Charlotte. I do not like that All American Matt hedges was playing for Butler last year.

does anyone know where next years final four will be played?

would definitely go if the game was at 1 or 2 in the afternoon.... evening games on Sunday night ......do not allow me to work on Monday
