RootforRoo44 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 I will be watching the game in Wadsworth at Cleats...more of a home for Zips sports then the Buckeye House in Akron. Quote

GoZips88 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Wake vs. UVA were 0-0 at the half. Wake was on the attack most of the half. Interesting since UVA beat Wake twice this year (Wake didn't score in either match).Color analyst is definitely a UVA homer (played for them but never made the College Cup).ESPNU in Akron is channel 303 (at least in the Norton area).

GoZips88 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 UVA goal at about the 54:30 mark. 1-0 UVA Quote
GoZips88 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Wake goal at 69:42.UVA 1 Wake 1 Quote
bUAkronG Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Wake is clearly outplaying UVa. This gives me hope if Akron and Virginia both make it through. Quote
GoZips88 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 UVA goal in 1st OTUVA advances 2-1 over Wake.Wake outplayed UVA ... come on Akron! Quote
RowdyZip Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Anyone downtown? How's the turnout?How about an online link for those of us that don't get the "U" ? Quote

Zipsrifle Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 You can reallyhear the Akron fans. Good turnout! Quote
Zipsrifle Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Zips controlling the ball more, looking for shots whereas UNC seems to be shooting from the hip more. Quote
you am i Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 These TV announcers are so pro-ACC it is ridiculous. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 They seem pretty even to me....but I'm watching online which may be better than what is on TV. Quote
ejcool27 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 First TV timeout this is what I've seen.....The crowd seems pretty pro Akron. So I don't think we have to worry about homefield at all. The Zips looked a little shaky, but seemed to pull it together at the back. Great shot by Ampi, but it was an even better save. Keep it up boys your looking pretty good. Quote
you am i Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 They seem pretty even to me....but I'm watching online which may be better than what is on TV.There has been at least half-a-dozen references to Akron's "weak schedule" and/or expressions of surprise that Akron is playing so well against ACC competition. They are definitely considering Akron to be the underdog, although as the game goes on they seem to be giving Akron more respect. Quote
bUAkronG Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 I am pretty pleased with the announcing actually. As am I pleased with our play. We seem to be doing a pretty good job playing our game. I hope we can get a goal before halftime. Quote

He's still not giving UA enough respect IMO. Quote

I mean, our Football team and Basketball teams aren't powers so of course our Soccer teams can't be that good. I hope this team is playing with a chip on their shoulder. Nobody has given us respect this year outside of the MAC, a the Big 10 at the end of the season. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 So, what do you think Caleb is telling these guys right now? Is it a normal half conversation or what? I know nothing about Caleb, is he the kind of guy to be chewing these guys out, or is he fine tuning and changing strategy on the sidelines? Quote
Zipsrifle Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 I see the bias now. They get very excited whenever UNC is over midfield and they don't get nearly as excited as when Akron is working near the goal. Quote
ejcool27 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 UNC down to 10 men......we still need one though Quote
