TennZip Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 I hope that they are all correct. I lived and worked in Bloomington, IN for 8.5 years when I was much younger. Have been to many Akron at Indiana soccer games. Those were of course in the Jerry Yeagley era so the zips are due for some payback. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Posted November 16, 2016 If you view the bracket I entered, you will see that I note the grief Zips have endured at the hands of the Hoosiers. Quote

They say that Yeags taught Bobby Knight most of his tricks! So, you got to see IU legend Angelo DiBernardo? I would call him the greatest collegiate player I have been privileged to witness. America's version of Diego Maradona. What a shame he was born too soon to help the U.S. internationally. 1 Quote
Z.I.P. Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Didn't we beat the Hoosers at their place the last time we met in the tournament? Year after they won it all. I'm betting on Denver to the College Cup. And I'm the guy who picked Middle Tennessee last March! For whatever that's worth... Quote

We beat the Evil IU Empire in Akron in 2013 NCAA Tournament. Freshman Adam Najem with the perfectly weighted through ball assist to Reneildo Brenes for the first score. And I sat next to George Nanchoff. Memories. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Lest we not forget defeating IU November 28, 2010 in Akron in the round of 16 of that NCAA National Championship Season. http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2010-11/schedule or August 18, 2009 during the regular season at Akron as part of the 23 wins leading to the College Cup. http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2009-10/schedule 1 Quote

Your second example went to OT. Mikey Nanchoff settled things with a free kick score. Oddly enough, sat next to George for that one too. 1 Quote
