For what it's worth, this was the other side at the beginning of the game on Friday. A few more came. I asked on FB about the chair/blanket thing and they gave me a smart ass answer about people having a lucky chair or blanket. I think they just didn't think there was enough demand to pull out the bleachers. I don't know how much effort or time it takes to pull the bleachers out. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

I went to my first women's game this year today against Butler, picked to finish 7th out of 10 in the Big East this year. I thought it might be a bit of a reality check this time of year and it was. Zips hung tough for a while, but got outscored 24-12 in the 3Q and lost by 16. Trailed by as many as 23. Edmonds still did not play again due to disciplinary reasons I believe. Sefcik only got off 6 shots. Still a lot of work to do for the team.

Yeah, I saw the Hulu sign in. I thought for a second I was going to have to watch the start on my phone.

A little "Blue and Gold" would be great after a goal. I agree there are fewer opportunities for cheer teams, but they can fit a few game action Z-I P-S cheers in. Plus how about some pregame hype rather than watching ESPN2 talking heads on an unrelated show? A game host would help, too. (Is Willy in Santa Barbara?) All I heard was a female voice on the PA after the game thanking us for coming. I don't want to be too critical, but this could be much more of an event with a little more effort. That's how you grow a fan base.

A decent crowd. A bit disappointed they aren't doing more to make the atmosphere more dynamic like having a pep band or active cheerleaders or even a host/announcer. Just a bunch of fans coming in to cheer on the Zips on the video screen.

No reason to exclude Faust from ND/UA futility list IMO. I am wary of our AD being enamored with guys from his alma mater, but I guess at least Polian comes from a successful ND program. He was 23-27 in 4 years at Nevada, not what I'd call very successful.

Please don't hire anyone with Notre Dame ties.

Any idea how much a beer was? It could be a critical point for a buddy of mine.

I do recognize the academic side of this, but 4 cross country flights in a week is a lot to ask and compete for a national championship. Oh well, they're young. I pretty much agree with your points, though.

I'm not sure that is a good idea.

I wonder if the team is even going to return home this week since College Cup is in Santa Barbara.

Keep me up on the game guys. I'm caught up observing Daily Mass on the Eternal Word Televison Network on Spectrum 385 where Zips Facebook post said game would be on. (I did find it on WatchESPN)

Were there people on both sides of the JAR? I see they ran a video, but it only showed the blue seats side at the end of the match. They need to hype this more.

I wonder how it was at the Watch Party. I'm surprised they didn't do a Facebook Live feed for a minute or two.

That'll teach us to leave well enough alone.

Nuts, I lost stream when I tried to switch tvs.

I just got the feed by downloading the PAC12 app, signing in with my Spectrum password and casting to my Chrome. I don't think I upgraded anything. It doesn't come up on my TV through the cable box.

Only if you have the Gold tier package.

Unless you already used up your trial on the Zips-Kent State football game, like me. Not really disappointed to not pay to watch this game in person or on TV anyway.

Nice to see the ABJ write a big story about Zips soccer, but Mr. Bournival fails to mention the controversial offside call on the potential game tying goal with a minute left that resulted in the Wake coach being ejected and a cheap foul by a Wake player when play resumed that almost resulted in a fight. Glad I watched the game so I know the whole story.

You forgot Alabama State is coming off of consecutive 8-23 seasons. Coppin State by any other name...

For what it's worth, my freezing problem stopped when I quit casting it to my tv and just watched on my laptop.

I am enjoying watching the Zips play in a blue and gold uniform for the first time in many years.

Thought you meant it was slow collecting the feed, like buffering. Trying now to just watch on laptop without casting to TV. Tried casting from phone and laptop.
