UAZipster0305 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Who would you like to see the Zips play on the futbol field in the future? Doesn't have to be on a future schedule, but could be prospective NCAA Tournament opponents as well. Mine are as follows: Louisville (Ken Lolla has them approaching the Top 10 and I don't ever remember UA playing them) Indiana (we have an abysmal record in the all-time series and it would be great to get one back while we are up and they are down) Wisonsin (the only Big Ten team I don't remember us playing except for the preseason and they have won a National Championship before) Pitt (they are terrible but again, an opponent I don't remember us playing; they are close; let's return the favor from football and basketball) Maryland (we need to redeem the game from the 2005 Tournament) St. Louis (a traditionally strong program with many National Championships) SMU (the only school from Texas worth a thought) Looking forward to Z.I.P chiming in on this one.

Zip_ME87 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 You forgot Northwestern. (Payback for STEALING home field advantage in 2008) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Those are all good. I would love to see some home games against the lower ACC teams. Notre Dame (Everybody knows them, and they're usually a upper-end Big East team) Northwestern (Revenge!) Duke (ACC team, well known brand name) Temple (just to be able to beat them in something) South Carolina and Kentucky (They play in C-USA for soccer, but people know them as SEC teams and they're not half bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbozeglav Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 You forgot Northwestern. (Payback for STEALING home field advantage in 2008) +1 Theyre the one team Id pay (even as a student) to watch their a$$es handed to them by our Zips.

tpsjugglerdude Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 As a student I would pay to see Virginia, Northwestern, and if the Crew were dumb enough to play us again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody ranked in the top-10. That's the only acceptable build-up to a MAC conference season. And, after a , teams will learn that they have to come to us, if they want a shot at #1. That's why the two wins on the road over Top 5 ACC teams was Sooooooo important. There is no longer any reason why we should have to travel to play these teams -- except maybe every third season. Is that the ding-aling you were looking for? --edit-- After thinking, my best answer is: Anybody -- so long as it's in Santa Barbara and in December.

Is that the ding-aling you were looking for? --edit-- After thinking, my best answer is: Anybody -- so long as it's in Santa Barbara and in December. Exactly what I was looking for Z.I.P.! I should have considered Northwestern though. And you're right, I like all schools mentioned so long as they are 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 home versus away deals. I also like the idea of repeatedly playing anyone we don't have a lead in the all-time series against until we take the lead back. Can we play IU five times per season? At that rate, it might only take four years to even things out a bit. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plowerman78 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Virginia- bc of Diego and they were supposed to play us here this year Northwestern- 2 years ago enough said Wake- Bring another one of the best teams here would be awesome, plus I guess they have interest in playing here in the near future Indiana- Loved the short term rivalry from the last 2 years, plus the whole Porter story line. UCSB- They have an awesome student section out there called the "Gaucho Loco's." Time to show them how the midwest does it with the AK-ROWDIES. Plus they play an open style so it would be an exciting game to watch. UCONN- Goal Patrol vs. the ROWDIES awesome situation Can't- oh yeah they dont have one ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I really liked the match-up against Stanford at home last year in the NCAA Tournament. Loved Teal's Tiger Woods goal celebration! On further thought, I'd love a home game against Cal as they are Top 25 and the Zips have already beaten my girlfriend's other alma mater (UNC). It's a rare opportunity to play against PAC-10 teams too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 UCLA, Stanford, UCSB, Cal I'd like a yearly west coast trip from one of the teams Next year the team WAS supposed to play in UC-Irvine's tournament. However, with Cal-St Northridge coming to UA this year, I suspect the Zips may go to the Valley instead. See you in 2011, LAZip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I wish the UA soccer program had a listing of all the schools we've played in our history and our records against those schools. Michigan is the only program that has exactly what I'm looking for: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-soccer/spe.../052609aaa.html Add Harvard and Dayton to my list of prospective opponents.

Ask and you shall receive. This is accurate to the end of the 2008 season. Men's Soccer 2009 media guide, page 36 Wow, awesome find, ZachTheZip! Thanks. A few thoughts based on the all-time records and my earlier posts: No doubt about it, the Zips own Ohio and the MAC. 25-6-2 against OSWho. Check out the record against Can't: 15-0-0, 62-9 aggregate goals...Can't is just Zippy's B$&ch Programs that we do not have a winning record against in the all-time series that would make great match-ups: Cal State-Fullerton (0-1-0), UCSB (0-1-0), UConn (0-0-2), Duke (0-3-0), Evansville (8-9-1), Fresno State (2-2-1), Geoergetown (0-0-1), Indiana (5-23-2, ouch!), Louisville (0-2-1), Maryland (1-1-0), NC State (0-1-0), New Mexico (1-1-0), Northwestern (1-1-0), Portland (0-1-1), Rutgers (1-1-0), UCLA (0-2-0), Washington (1-1-0), Wisconsin-Milwaukee (8-9-0), and Wisconsin (1-2-0) Sparkling records against big name schools or soccer programs: Cincinnati, Dayton, Kentucky, Marquette, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oakland, OSWho, Pitt, and West Virginia I would love to see Coach Porter starting to schedule OOC games with the intention of taking the lead in some of these series. Even to the extent of labeling them on the schedule as "All-Time Matchup Game" or similar. Would be exciting for the fan base because many are name brand schools with good soccer programs. So, they would also fulfill the purpose of preparing the team for the NCAA Tournament too. Traveling into town this weekend to see us chalk up another win against Cincinnati.

ZachTheZip Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Looks like Akron's going on a full tour of Cali next season. Aside from returning to Santa Barbara, the Zips will be playing in Cal State Northridge's tournament against both the Matadors and the Cal State Fullerton Titans. LosAngelesZipFan will have plenty of opportunities to see the Zips in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it time to schedule the Spartans for old time sake? At that time the three major powers in college soccer were St. Louis, Indiana and Michigan State. The 1-0 tournament loss to the Spartans in '68 was particularly depressing because we beat them 4-Zip during the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
