you am i Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Actually, its University at Buffalo (as in SUNY Buffalo). They get riled when they see University "of" Buffalo. If you think that's not a big deal, just stick around this board and read the reactions of the posters the next time an outsider refers to Akron as Akron U. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 13 shots to 2 with 3 minutes left in first halfbut they are down 1-0....due to being unable to control long diagonal ball....which resulted in a penalty kickhave to get better at balls in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyYo Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 This game hardly qualifies as "soccer".Could be because they are playing on turf with football yard markers all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I wonder how many PK's have been taken against us this year????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Could be because they are playing on turf with football yard markers all over it.It's more that Buffalo's playing something like a 7-2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Souto hits a PK to put Akron up 2-1. When your entire team plays in the box all game long, eventually an attacker will draw a foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 That was tough to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 We notch a 2-1 'W' but that was hard to watch. Can't stand watching us play inferior teams when they pack it in the back third that way. Yuck. Very thankful for our tough out-of-conference schedule. Go Zips!

TennZip Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 with teams packing it in, the zips will be taking a lot of penalty kicks due to fouls in the box...going to have to do better than 1 out of 3....that they have done in the last 2 gamesvery happy for Victor.....that he came thru huge late in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to admit that I had to run to the restroom and missed the foul in the box. I did see Victor take and score the pk. Excellent on his part and happy to see him get the game winner. How questionable was the call? Tried to find video highlights on U@b's site but couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been straight red, was just yellow.Thanks @TennZip. I don't normally get up during soccer games, but the way that game was going, I thought perhaps my stepping out for a moment might change the way things were going...a little sports superstition, I guess. Those refs were morons just like the refs at UAB. There were bad calls both ways. The penalty call UB got about 3 minutes into the game looked soft to me, but I haven't seen a replay of it.

fknbuflobo Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 On the webstream, Souders YC looked head to head, no elbow. Very aggressive and tough, but not dirty. Andrew was a bit late on the tackle. Yellow was warranted. Straight red would have been egregiously harsh.I thought Buffalo's PK was a soft call, as was Zips' second PK.*****************We are in October now. Zips should convert every single chance from the spot - for the rest of the year. Seriously. How many have we missed this year?ALL PKs should be converted, on every level, every league, every age group, every country. Obstacles are purely psychological. Players routinely accomplish much more difficult tasks than striking a stationary ball from the hash mark. Were Akron historically better at PKs, Zips might have 4 stars on our shirts intead of only one (2005, 2009, 2012).This PK discussion (I am currently having with myself) almost justifies a dedicated thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
