Wally B Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 Alright nation, we got another top #5 team and they're on our pitch! What's the word on the street, how do they match up? Quote
MDZip Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 In most polls, they are #2 including the NSCAA and Top Drawer Soccer so this is effectively a matchup of #1 vs. #2 (again). Where the hell is College (Soccer) Gameday on ESPN for this? Tulsa has a good squad, including a couple of very good forwards in Austin Neil and Ashley McInnes who are their leading scorers. Their schedule has not been really tough so far (Seattle, Lipscomb, Western Illinois, SIU-Edwardsville and St. Louis and none of those teams are ranked) and they have Missouri State this evening. So I don't think they've been tested too much yet, but they still have a good team. They have been scored on in three of those five games so at worst I expect to have a 2-1 victory. Go Zips! Quote
PA ZIPPY Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 Coming to Akron this weekend. Will there be any issues in getting tickets ?? Quote
Dr Z Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 I expect to have a 2-1 victory.1-0 Zips Quote
jem101 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 Coming to Akron this weekend. Will there be any issues in getting tickets ?? I would definitely call ahead and buy tickets, just to be on the safe side. I'm bringing a friend and I picked him up a ticket already. Friday's match is going to be incredible. Quote
zip37 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 Same prediction as last year's game: 1-nil The Zips. [Note the 'nil], I'm picking up the lingo of he Beautiful Game, and using it. Quote
zippyfan34 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/soccer...ek-in-soccer-12 COLLEGE: We’re excited about Friday night’s game on Fox Soccer. No. 1 Akron is a joy to watch, and No. 3 Tulsa is really, really good, too. Men’s soccer might be the best college sport for those tired of seeing nothing but BCS schools all the time. But if you like BCS schools, the women’s game on ESPNU will work. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 We played them twice last year. Won both matches by a score of 1-0. Quote
zip37 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Roger, that. Same as last year's gameS, 1-nil Akron. Quote
bigzipguy Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa trails Missouri State 1-0 at the half. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa ties it up. From the stats, they have been attacking all game and the other team went up early on a lucky breakaway. Quote
jem101 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa trails Missouri State 1-0 at the half. Tulsa just tied it in the 73'. Here's the link to the GameTracker if anyone is interested. Quote
jem101 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Looks like Tulsa will be coming into Akron with a draw on their resume. They tied 1-1 with Missouri State. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Looks like Tulsa will be coming into Akron with a draw on their resume. They tied 1-1 with Missouri State. No OT? Quote

But if you like BCS schools, the women’s game on ESPNU will work. I thought you just wrote those last two sentences as a joke so I went to go see what they really wrote. Un-freaking believable, what an ignorant comment. Oh, did Kyle Martino write it? And 14 of the top 25 NSCAA ranked school are BCS schools. I get very tired of the eliitist attitude that exists with that set of schools. Most are exactly the same as Akron in quality. Quote
meatwad Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Looks like Tulsa will be coming into Akron with a draw on their resume. They tied 1-1 with Missouri State. No OT? Two tens golden goal I believe is still the way ties are decided... Quote
Zipmeister Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 With that slight blemish on Tulsa's record, I am predicting a larger Akron victory margin. I'll go with the Zips by 14. Quote

jem101 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa just went up 2-1. 3 minutes to go. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa just went up 2-1. 3 minutes to go. OT is "golden goal", which means sudden death. Tulsa wins. Good result for Friday. Quote
bigzipguy Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 That ends the match. 2-1 Tulsa Quote
meatwad Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa just went up 2-1. 3 minutes to go. OT is "golden goal", which means sudden death. Tulsa wins. Good result for Friday. Probably for the best. The matchup is more exciting on Friday with two undefeated and untieds going at it. Can't wait!! Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Tulsa just went up 2-1. 3 minutes to go. OT is "golden goal", which means sudden death. Tulsa wins. Good result for Friday. Actually, it's called "sudden victory" in soccer. Quote

MDZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Here's the link to the Tulsa soccer message board.
