Z.I.P. Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 There is no link I can find to a live video or even a crummy gamecast for the Akron home game @ Northwestern! The CBS College Sports link from Northwestern has links for other games, but the only D-1 game is YESTERDAY'S Indiana blowout of Meechigan.If anyone has ANYTHING please give the rest of us a hint. We gotta have our football fix.BTW -- Weather Channel an hour ago called for 3-6 inches of snow in Chicagoland over the next 2-3 hours. Yippee. It's a freakin' NCAA Wonderland. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 you should take a look at the wake-dart game Quote
apalmison Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 BTW -- Weather Channel an hour ago called for 3-6 inches of snow in Chicagoland over the next 2-3 hours. Yippee. It's a freakin' NCAA Wonderland.So let me get this straight..they cancel the game in Akron because of the field conditions (something that the NCAA cannot predict 4 days out) in favor of a game in Evanston where the field conditions may end up being no better because of the weather (something that IS predictable 4 days out).

The ball is not going anywhere when played on the ground. This just makes the fact that the game was moved even worse. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 i didn't realize that the field was right on the water Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 The waves crashing in from Lake Michigan is a nice touch! Quote
72 Roo Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 I can't seem to get the stream up and running. I've followed the directions but the streaming doesn't pop up. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate a call 614-888-7590. I'm dieing! Steve Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 we do not look like we are playing that well Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Hearing the Rowdy "oh-oh" chant! Love it Quote
Z.I.P. Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Posted November 30, 2008 we do not look like we are playing that wellGametracker working at least. Under 4 minutes in first half remaining. Still 0-0. NWU has about 5 shots to 2 or 3 for Zips. But I feel something good coming on. Maybe frostbite off Lake Michigan. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 tied 0-0 at half. zips down in shots and corners :/ Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 In other tourney news, Wake is crushing Dartmouth 5-0. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 The video link works for me. You just need to go to the Northwestern soccer page, find the Akron match, and click on "watch it" to the right. I did need to download some Microsoft software to enable the viewer, but it was pretty much automatic.Try clicking here if you're having problems Quote
joshgozips Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 So who has the pleasure of fishing the ball out of Lake Michigan when kicked out of play? Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 The waves crashing in from Lake Michigan is a nice touch!It's a beautiful campus...it better be for what they charge to go there Agreed! Been there several times myself and my wife was actually born in Evanston......though I'm not holding THAT against her Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 The waves crashing in from Lake Michigan is a nice touch!It's a beautiful campus...it better be for what they charge to go there No, on days like this those waves crashing in add to the misery of horrible Chicago winters. I have lots of family there and consider it almost a second hometown, and IMO the winters there are worse than here. No, Lee Jackson would have most likely been a better option from a sheer misery standpoint than that field. Come on Zips! Let's kick some Mildpussy ass out there in the 2nd half.SeeTeeZipper Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 In other news Wake is now up a touchdown on Dartmouth!!!I :blink: and I missed the extra point! Quote
ejcool27 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 the weather is killing out speed...the ball keeps stopping dead in the water Quote
bandzip Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 They finally wiped the lens off, that helps. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 helps a lot and it appears they are now on the shitty side of the wind Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 It seems like with whatever directional wind there is out there, it's at the Zip's backs this half Quote
Z.I.P. Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Posted November 30, 2008 Play is in front of the Northwestern goal early in second half. Akron has four shots and about three equadros (corner kicks). Get one in the back of the net boys! Quote
