firhillzip Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 The NCAA site- forget where within the site- has a 24 page outline of procedures/standards for the NCAA men's soccer tourney. It includes everything from rating the field, how the rpi is done, and even how many cheerleaders, mascots, and band members can be present. More to the point, they list all the conferences and make mention that the MAC does not have an automatic bid. There fore, it is true that the MAC does not have an automatic bid this year- it did last year and may next year but not in 2009. Not to worry-we will get a bid.

Zip_ME87 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm still waiting to hear who told you that the MAC has no automatic bid to the NCAA's in Futbol this season.I heard that one from some AK-Rowdies. They seemed very certain of it, and I'm inclined to believe them. I can't find anything in print that I could link you to. Maybe a talk with the soccer players or coaches could confirm it.Unfortunately, it looks like this is true.

Dr Z Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Rumor has it that Nicely has a broken ankle. We're doomed. Seems a little odd that Gaffney would write an article on PN16 today if he broke his ankle yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Pure rumor. If you're on facebook, search for him. Status updated yesterday says, "Great practice!" or something along those lines. God bless the internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I saw Nicely sitting on the slope of the endzone grass this morning. The slope was not too steep, and his ankle looked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 But was he watching Zips running back LeSean McCoy get some extra reps in? ;) And were they getting ready for the long awaited hoops game against tOSU at the Q?
