fknbuflobo Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) http://www.gocreighton.com/index.aspx?path=msocThis side is scary good, with several professional prospects throughout the roster. Remember this guy? http://www.gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2518&path=msoc If you need the painful reminder, read about his freshman year.This guy is the MF workhorse who has been on a bit of a scoring streak lately. http://www.gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2517&path=msocBut the real monster is this one, arguably the best player in collegiate soccer. http://www.gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2510&path=msoc Pro scouts are drooling over his size/speed/skill/IQ combination.

Zip_ME87 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) @fknbuflobo, when I bothered to actually click the link you provided, I found it interesting that Creighton has already penciled themselves into the College Cup December 11th when you look across the scoreboard at the top of the page.

fknbuflobo Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 "Why do I think Elmer Bolowich will have something cooked up for Akron. Creighton is a tough, physical bunch that takes away what teams do best. They luv to foul and the ref in this game is going to be a key as to how much physicality is allowed in this marquee matchup. Creighton luvs to push the envelope. With their game against UNC, Creighton just sat in the weeds against UNC game and hurt the heels on the counter. They have a couple of Snipers (Timo Pitter - seems this guy been around for years) that are deadly. They play with an edge. Going to be a interesting chess match."-tman-(tman is frequent contributor to BigSoccer, especially regarding Maryland Terrapins.) Quote

UCSB, for example, always has the College Cup on their schedule page from the day it first goes up pre-season, and it's still there even though they lost to Clemson: http://ucsbgauchos.com/sports/m-soccer/2015-16/schedule Quote

Z.I.P. Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 I know that the Sunday match will be again videovised by Sidearm Sports. The SMU broadcast left a LOT to be desired (though I thought the commentary was better than expected). Many times the play was off-camera or the camera zoomed in too close. And then there was the five+ second video delay. At least you had an audio warning when something important was about to happen! Who exactly IS Sidearm Sports? Is it Akron-based, or do they just use local crew? Quote

mes102 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Not much talk there, but here's the forum for Creighton soccer fanshttp://www.bluejayunderground.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3599&start=250 Quote
acstorfer Posted December 3, 2015 Report Posted December 3, 2015 Any team that is competitive should be confident enough to pencil in the championship game onto their schedule. Of course Akron should just mark it with permanent marker. I will say that I hate having Creighton on the way. I'd rather us be playing Wake Forest. Creighton is just one of those schools that has our number. I guess that just means a Zips win will be even sweeter! 1 Quote
zippyfan34 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 I am recruiting a few Latin's at work to come to the game and support their own Victor Souto. It sounds like I have at least 4 and possibly over 10. Let's try to get a huge crowd to see the Zips. I want to go to KC! Quote
TennZip Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 I have a google alert set for Jared Embick. I just got a message that the Omaha paper had an article on Akron.http://www.omaha.com/creighton/akron-enters-rematch-with-creighton-having-learned-from-letdowns/article_f484a520-3602-5198-957e-bd071be95cd1.html Quote
TennZip Posted December 5, 2015 Report Posted December 5, 2015 I assume this will be in the Saturday Beaconhttp://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-soccer-with-zips-in-elite-eight-blueprint-drawn-up-by-caleb-porter-jared-embick-again-reaping-dividends-1.645265#Marla Ridenour has done a good job of giving this excellent team and their outstanding coach....some great publicity....Hopefully, these articles will help put more people in the seats on Saturday...We are Akron.......
