According to the Men's soccer twitter, all 500 of the student tickets, that the Athletic Department bought, have been distributed already. They have, therefore, purchased 250 more. After those are gone, students can buy a ticket for $1. Glad I got my free one early, Can't afford to pay a dollar :D

Bring 25 students; I will pay the dollar for each.

I hope we use this as motivation and come out with a gigantic chip on our shoulders. Sure we have been disrespected, screwed, what have you so let's use it for motivation and adopt an attitude we play well with…. and that is us against the world. Zips come out with a vengeance and destroy Indiana. Then pound Marquette and any other team that stands in our way. This is a good team and if the NCAA selection committee thinks we have something to prove let's do just that. And give them the finger as we pull away the winner in each contest.

I've got my tickets and I am psyched. Let's create an impossible place for IU to play in! :nutkick::NCAAC:

We tried that a couple of years ago and they moved the game. Let's just win the game here.

To all you fact crazy fanatics out there. Here is an interesting one for you and one that might be some cannon fodder for you ROWDIES at the game tomorrow...

Starting GK Jake Fenlason and UI new starting GK Colin Webb were high school teammate.

Rancho Bernardo High School

It looks like Webb was second best behind Fenlason in HS... as well as college, because sources say, Webb tried contacting and visited Akron before he found out Fenlason was coming. Obviously Webb isn't a Zip and Fenlason is. I wonder if it made a difference that Webb did not want to be playing second fiddle behind Fenlason after he did it in high school.

I'm not sure which disrespect is worse:

-The NCAA

-Akron's own athletic department being small time and lame by not letting a group of Rowdies welcome the Hoosiers soccer team to Akron as they walked to practice today.

So glad UA punishes pride and dedication. No wonder student attendance is down at nearly every sport.

Hoosiers have also recently made a GK switch to Webb. Ironic.

prediction from J.R. Eskilson - top drawer soccer

Akron (16-3-1) vs. Indiana (8-11-2), 7 p.m.

How They Got Here: For Indiana, it was a miracle. The Hoosiers won the Big Ten Championship to earn the automatic qualifier to the tournament after what best could be described as a disappointing regular season. Akron continued to be the bully of the MAC and captured another conference crown.

Form: Akron is undefeated in its last ten games and won its last six. Indiana is undefeated in its last four games.

Players to know: Akron center back/all-everything Bryan Gallego said on Twitter this week that he would be back in the lineup for Thursday’s game after missing out on the MAC Championship due to injury. Freshman Tommy Thompson has been the best player this season for Indiana, and he has recently returned from injury as well. Thompson has five goals and two assists in 12 starts.

Stat of the game: Akron head coach Jared Embick is undefeated as a head coach in NCAA Division I Tournament games.*

*Important note: This is Embick’s first NCAA Division I Tournament game as a head coach.

Prize: A trip to one of the best burger joints in the country in Sobelman’s Pub & Grill (plus a game against Marquette) in the next round.)

Prediction: Akron 2-2 Indiana (Akron wins 5-4 in PKs)

Pretty solid 1st half and entertaining game so far. Zips getting some nice chances and have a few goals. Indiana getting some chances as well, but haven't capitalized. Would like for the back line to play a little better, but besides that, looking good!
