Wally B Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Let's hear some noise for the MAC Championship! Tonight, 4:30 at the pouch! Quote
MDZip Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 A few observations - one, that victory just set the all-time record for a conference unbeaten streak, 47 games, just passed Furman. Zips have gone 44-0-3 in MAC play since 2007, Pretty incredible. Two, the contributions that three of our seniors have made and the impact since they were Freshman is pretty astounding. While I had not forgotten the fine job David Meves did on penalty kicks against Virginia in 2009, I had forgotten that Scott Caldwell was used as one of the PK takers - and made it - in that contest even though he had not played a minute of the game. Don't really need to rehash what they did in the National Championship win the following year, but all three made key plays in that game, especially Chad Barson's knock away of the game tying goal with a minute left. They also led the team last year into the Sweet Sixteen yet again in a rebuilding year when no one gave them much of a chance. I believe in these three young men and believe they have an excellent chance of leading the team in claiming another National Championship. I will be in Hoover, AL if they do. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the MAC home page congratulated the Zips on their 2-1 win which would be great if they hadn't won 2-0. It even continued on the inside story where it quoted the Akron Sports Information Department on the 2-0 win and mentioned this was the Zips 16th shutout. Ah, accuracy. Quote
