Wally B Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share 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!

jem101 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share 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.

zip37 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We played them twice last year. Won both matches by a score of 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
