Zip_ME87 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The Crew will recognize the Akron Zips men's soccer team at halftime Saturday Interesting that the Crew's article fails to mention that Vancouver Whitecaps' midfielder Michael Nanchoff was a member of the 2010 National Champions. I hope Michael makes the trip even though he is still out due to his nagging injury and is able to join the Zips at halftime. Also interesting that another recruit, whose name I've not heard before will be joining the Zips this Fall: Khai Celestin - Pickerington High School Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Great recognition for our kids. But seriously, can anyone think of a reason why a Columbus pro sports team would honor anyone or anything from Akron for any other purpose besides trying to get some folks from Akron to drive down there and buy a game ticket?

I can't imagine why they would want to market the only top tier soccer league team from Ohio to people from Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hmm. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with some of our players coming up through their youth system, now could it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 ONN showed the Ziips on the field having their picture taken. Also interviewed Caleb, mentioning the players we have who came through the Crew Youth system and showing a list of our players from MLS development teams. They also asked him about Steve Zakuani, whose Seatlle Sounders happen to be playing in Columbus next weekend. Great recognition and good interview (brief and to the point) with Coach Porter. Go Zips! Edit: I'd love to hear impression of the Zips recognition/crowd response from anyone who was there. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew8 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Good match! Crew prevailed! Watched Akron Zips get recognized at half time on the televisions at Kevin O'Bryan's Pub. Afterwards, a large group stuck around to watch Nagbe and Portand vs RSL. A fine night for footy talk, pints of beer, and MLS.
