fknbuflobo Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I really thought Furman was going to upset Charlotte. Also surprising to see Wake Forest advancing over South Carolina. Bobby, we did not have money on this, did we? I am in last place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's be a Friday night, no? - The 5:30 game Would probably be fine at Barley, but it might get a little club-ish by the end of the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Could we have another scenario like last year - a final where the "jilted" school (Akron/UNC) gets to face their old coach (Lolla/Bolowich). Its a lot more fresh for UNC and they are not the upstarts, Creighton is, but I'd love to see that as a final. Ben Speas gets a title for two different schools, two years in a row?

Zip_ME87 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 EDIT: MDZip already covered the Creighton/UNC connection Nice picture of former Zip Ben Speas on front of this MLSSoccer.com article --- http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011...-north-carolina?

Or Ben Speas somehow manages to lose 2 NCAA finals in the span of 3 years. Seriously, that matchup is what I have on my bracket, but I have Creighton winning.

yazan07 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nice picture of former Zip Ben Speas on front of this MLSSoccer.com article --- http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011...-north-carolina? Ben has been getting a lot of press in UNC's post-season run. Does anyone get a little angry any time you see him in the pictures on these articles being the UNC poster boy? Like, I know him leaving was a decision he and Porter supposedly agreed upon, but it still bothers me. He transferred out of the national championship team, which in my opinion means he should have had to go to a team that does not do as well, and look where they are and look where we're at. I don't care that Martin Ontiveros is at Furman, good for him! Likewise with McKaulay Tulloch at UCF, Yoram Mwila at VCU, Humpty Hitchens at JMU, Diego "one spring semester and out" Navarrete, and everyone else. I just still think we maybe could have used Ben this year, and that if he couldn't find time here, how did he find time at a school that did better than us this year?

Dave in Green Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 ..... I just still think we maybe could have used Ben this year, and that if he couldn't find time here, how did he find time at a school that did better than us this year? That's the part I've been trying to figure out. Hard to believe Coach Porter miscalculated Speas' potential to contribute to this year's team, but it's possible. It could also have been that he didn't fit Porter's style of play, could have been that he left with a chip on his shoulder and used that as motivation to get better, could have been that whoever Porter pictured playing ahead of Speas this year just didn't live up to expectations, could have been any number of things that aren't obvious to anyone who wasn't part of the decision. But the new recruiting class and thoughts of next year's team helps to erase memories of the guy from last year's team who may have made a difference this season but who "got away." What a great position to be in to "only" be a sweet 16 team after losing someone who might have made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
