bUAkronG Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 17 minutes left in the first half. Zips look pretty good. UVa has had some chances. As have we. Looks like both squads will have to earn their chances. Meves looks in top form today. The young announcer is a ridiculous homer for Virginia. I think he even said "we" in reference to them. Quote
Hilltopper Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 #17 for UVA is a thug. He got one yellow, but deserved another one for stepping on Ampi's head. Quote
RowdyZip Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Great atmosphere at Barley House. Pretty crowded and signs on the door state only UA will be on the TVs. Quote
Spin Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Sounds like coach is going to light a fire under a few butts during halftime... Quote
you am i Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Caleb's analysis on TV seemed spot on. Akron looked a little tentative and UVA is being pretty physical. It will be interesting to see how the players respond the rest of the way. Akron did well to keep things scoreless. This looks like a 1-0 game. Quote
bUAkronG Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 first goal wins. I don't like UVa much. I've seen at least 4 tackles from behind where they were trying to go through the player instead of just going for the ball.Teal just had a great look on a Speas cross. Should have been the go ahead goal. Quote

ZippyTuba11 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 I thought the goalie couldn't move before the ball was touched? Quote

It was fun to watch until that last kick. Quote
zipsfan13 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Oh well, good season guys. As upset as I am right now, I'm just thankful for the great season that they had, unlike any of the other sports teams I root for. Quote
bUAkronG Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 I thought the goalie couldn't move before the ball was touched?he can move along the line all he wants but he can't come off the line until the ball is touched. Quote
Dr Z Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Seems ridiculous to me to decide a national title TEAM game with a one on one contest in the end.I watched soccer for hours this weekend and never saw a goal. I think I just exhausted my soccer energy for my life. Quote
scottditzen Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Hey guys, before we get down on ourselves, check out some of the things being said on U Va's forum:Congrats to Zips on a fantastic season, and GO HOOS! ** -- SixerHoo Sun Dec 13 2009 3:58:40 PM DAMN RIGHT! What a great team the Zips have! in my mind deserving of the seed... -- The_Superhoo Sun Dec 13 2009 4:00:04 PM They belong in the ACC ** -- Hoogle.com Sun Dec 13 2009 4:04:13 PM Couldn't have asked for a tougher opponent. Akron fought valiantly. ** -- MaizeAndBlueWahoo Sun Dec 13 2009 4:01:50 PM Quote
The Hip Zip Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Thats just no way to lose a game much less the national championship. I dont want to date myself but I played with and against Michael Nanchoff's dad and uncle.Against them in high school and with them at UA under coach Dowdy .Back in the day they just kept playing until the issue was decided. Had that happened today I am confident we would have scored. We were the much better side in the 2nd half and overtime as well. I will take nothing away from Virginia as they are a fine team as well but when you play through the tourney without giving up a goal and lose something is just not right with that.I must admit that I shed a tear for our boys today. We deserved better. I encourage everybody to drive down and greet the team tonight. We have great kids and they could use some love.Prouder that ever to be a Zip !! Quote

Only the ones who have soccer knowledge are giving us due props.We did not concede a goal the entire tournament. Yes we didn't score this weekend but we outplayed both ACC teams we faced. I'd love to see us switch conferences. I wonder what it would take? Quote
