chris Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) I think the Zips got a great draw. They are home against one of the worst at-large teams and they are in the 7/10 bracket. It could've been much worse.

malonepioneer12 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 That is terrible. To do that to the season ticket holders is wrong. I will be voicing my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyfan34 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Not to get ahead of ourselves but per IU's website the game in Bloomington on Sunday would start at 1pm. Can't find any info on webcast at the moment. With the 1pm start and 5ish hour drive it sets up well for a day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 many photos and quotes from Coach and the captains and to show my poor knowledge of soccer, it says that goncalo is playing midfield in 3-4-3....yesterday, I said that he was doing well as a right DB what ever works.....works....for me....Goncalo and Nick are doing well in the new formation http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/ua-men-s-soccer-zips-will-host-villanova-in-first-round-of-ncaa-tournament-1.727118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
