Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think the way it works, is that if it's two unseeded teams playing each other in Sweet 16 or Elite Eight, you have to place a bid to host, and then the NCAA chooses from there. I'm sure NCAA will pick us as they have to be drooling at the money they would be getting from us hosting an NCAA tournament game again. But yet again, wouldn't surprise me if we're on the road sunday at Charlotte... You are correct... from the ncaa men's soccer handbook. An evaluation will be made of institutional facilities to determine if they are acceptable for championship play. Selection of host sites will be based partly on the quality of the playing facility. A facility evaluation form will be made available on the NCAA website to the directors of athletics of all institutions and will be one of the tools used in making this determination. Institutions interested in hosting are to submit the form online by the indicated deadline. Institutions submitting proposed budgets for preliminary rounds must have played the majority of their home games at the site listed on the facility evaluation form. Institutions with inadequate playing surfaces (e.g., inadequate artificial surface, minimum dimensions, etc.) may request a waiver of the policy. Site Selection. The site selection criteria for the Division I men’s soccer championship are as follows (see Appendixes F and G): 60 percent Committee ranking 40 percent (1) Facility— Quality of field surface (60 percent) Evaluation of facility (30 percent) Game management (10 percent) So, basically the ncaa chooses. We'll see how that goes. If that's correct, then man are we sitting pretty. Our field surface is better, with or without snow, and our facility is better. Either way, I think Akron wins this one 2-0 if not better. Let's Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Charlotte said NCAA will tell them Monday. Sounds like we will NOT be hosting this sunday from some reputable sources on twitter.

tbozeglav Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think you guys should give it more credit... its a pretty nice facility if you ask me. Its not soccer-only like First Energy stadium, but its still nice. I think the NCAA will look into ticket sales as driving factor in the decision... will be interesting to see how this all pans out though.

tpsjugglerdude Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Since the NCAA already moved an Akron "home game" 600 miles away, I have zero faith that when given the choice of having the game in Akron or in Charlotte the NCAA will pick Akron.

Crew8 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I love seeing the Blue Flag waving in front of the camera, I wonder how many Zips fans are there representing. That had to be my flag, all 6 of them made the trip to Texas without me. Fantastic turnout at the Barley House tonight 30+ at most at one time. Not bad for a late notice. Thanks to everyone who were there. If the next match is in Charlotte, I hope the University promotes a watch party. If two bums can bring out 30+ the day before in mid afternoon, imagine if the University would promote a 3rd round watch party.

GoZips Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Since the NCAA already moved an Akron "home game" 600 miles away, I have zero faith that when given the choice of having the game in Akron or in Charlotte the NCAA will pick Akron. Six reasons the game will be played in Charlotte: 1) Charlotte was higher "unseeded" than Akron 2) Akron has better attendance and does not mean squat in terms of revenue to the NCAA who rakes in millions off of American football. 3) Akron soccer fans travel better than Charlotte fans. 4) Caleb Porter has brought far too much attention to a sport the NCAA wants to go away. 5) The NCAA really does NOT like Akron. We all too often upset their "apple cart". 6) The weather in Charlotte is nicer meaning that the NCAA officials who have to travel to the game have a better chance of getting in a round of golf.

Dave in Green Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I plan to make the trip down. Do you and Hilltopper want to join me on the trip down?? I will drive....but you know how small the Mini is ;-) If there is a bus...I am taking the bus. A 1,000-mile round trip in a Mini? So what do you have to offer for the people you don't like? Unfortunately, I can't work this trip into my schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazip11 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The "we lost" SMU message board thread Akron is a fantastic team. I know they didn't finish the year ranked #1 or anything, but it's obvious why they're ranked in the top 10. That team is LOADED. -- Akron is very athletic and exceptionally fast. That doesn't make them better soccer players, but it sure doesn't hurt. Some things can be countered with schematic adjustments, like double-teaming a stud pass rusher, denying the ball to a great shooter in basketball or intentionally walking a great hitter. But this team was flying all over the field. -- Ben Hill is pretty good. Earlier in the year, he got spot duty when Juan Castillo got a rest, but it's time to give this guy his due. He's really strong and created some space in the offensive end because he couldn't be pushed around. He'll play more next year, and deservedly so. -- Our defense played pretty well. Their offense played better. The first goal (by #10 - Maddux?) was great, a diving header on a cross from the other side of the field, bouncing the shot into the lower left corner. The second goal, by the bald kid (I think his name is Holmes) was better, a free kick that he absolutely crushed through a gap in the line. Maybe Ibarra was screened or something, but it looked like he never saw it, or maybe it was such a hard shot that he didn't have time to react. Shot could have been 20 yards longer and would have gone in. The third goal might be the best goal I ever have seen in person: Maddux chased down a loose ball, shook off an SMU defender who was trying to tackle him (football tackle, that is) and kept his head enough to turn and somehow get a shot in under the crossbar from a very tough angle. No idea how that thing went in. -- Maddux got two goals, so he'll be viewed as the man of the match, but I really liked that bald kid (Holmes). He held possession all day in the midfield, and it seemed like he had the ball on a string. For a while, it looked like our guys were flailing at the ball, and he was the reason why. He seemed like the point guard who makes that team go. Akron was the better team tonight and deserved to win. When we were down 3-0, I didn't think they were three goals better, but it also felt more convincing than the 1-goal margin on the scoreboard. Maybe 3-1 would have been appropriate.
