NCAA Tournament Seeding

[RootforRoo44]

UCSB calls Akron's bracket the "Group of Death".

Only because Akron, aka the Grim Zippers, are in that bracket.

ESPN's analyst stated that the Zips have something to prove and they are playing with a chip

on their shoulder. Well, putting Akron as the third seed only made the chip bigger.

Akron clearly played the toughest out of conference schedule as proved by the fact that the Zips

hold the best RPI for OOC play. Akron also won the most games of any team (18). By rights,

the number one seed belongs to Akron. So what? Just go win the whole thing. We'll bury the

dead as we go.

The kids played twenty matches to earn the right to a top four seed. They succeeded in the first

season. Now begins the real season the Zips have been playing for all along.

Chatted with Caleb briefly prior to the selection. He says its all about being positive. I agree.

He sent Perry Kitchen over to me to reassure me that Perry could handle playing with a yellow

card hung on him. Perry played quite well and was the last Zip starter pulled. Now, folks, that's

utter confidence in your players.

Prediction: Akron gives the MAC its first ever team national championship December 12, 2010.

Just change "Bouncing Souls" to "Akron Zips"

Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole...

(Akron Zips) no one can beat us

we drink beer and wear adidas

anywhere we get the itch

we're off to find a proper pitch

Lace your sambas get on out

off we go to kick it about

Win or lose we're having fun

we won't quit until we're done

We got heart when we play

Take you on any day!

The Bouncing Souls always get me amped up while heading to Zips' soccer games! Hopefully that continues all the way up to the championship and beyond!

Yes, but will Gozips be there with a celebratory bottle of Central Coast bubbly?

And, The Akron bracket. No one need say it. Akron is The Team to Beat. Anyone who wants to be the best, must beat the best. Good luck.
