Sept. 4 - Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles


Recommended Posts

What was that awful display we watched last night? Lots of players on the bench who probably actually wanted to play but for some reason didn’t get the opportunity. Alen Kapic looked great for the few minutes he had but was subbed out…why? smh

Someone asked why attendance has been on a downward trajectory. I can't help but think it's: 1&2) us winning neither the MAC Championship nor an NCAA match since 2018, and 3) games like last night - which simply aren't very good spectator events. I watched on tv and found myself playing with my phone more so than watching the "action" on the pitch.

 

Is Jared capable of lighting a fire in this team? It's been over 4 years now...   I know he had awfully big shoes to fill when Porter left, but... it's been years... something's... off.

Is Mitch better than Seth? New soccer fan here just asking for a general consensus. Please chime in!

Mitch Budler gets the nod over Seth Wilson, but the gap between the two is not great.  In fact, the gap is probably narrowing.  Wilson deserves kudos for his performance versus Vermont.  Budler looked rusty last night versus Southern Indiana.  Zips fans should be comfortable with either GK.

Credit to Josef Paulus for being a leader....and trying to inspire some of his teammates that did not want to be on the field last night.

 

On the broadcast, Chad Welker raved about the great attendance.  Attendance was 1,198.     I am sad to see how much expectations have been lowered for men's soccer.

 

I don't know how many of the 1,198 fans were first time attendees.  After last night's lethargic, disinterested performance by the zips, I suspect that most of the first time attendees will not come back to see another Zips men's soccer game.

 

Please get healthy, very soon....Dyson Clapier.   You were greatly missed last night.

Jared has done well since becoming head coach...3 College Cup appearances...including one title game appearance, but something has been off since the 2018 season. There seem to be more top notch players that choose not to go the college route these days, but every D1 school has to deal with that...shouldn't be an excuse. I like our players and believe we have plenty of depth. I sometimes question if we're lacking a hard nose player like a Perry Kitchen, Darren Mattocks, Richie Laryea, or Ezana Khasay, but I'm not sure we had one in 2009.
