Valpo Zip Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I was there... I thought the rowdies/goal patrol looked awesome. Huge numbers for an exhibition game. I noticed that a lot of them were freshmen who just moved on campus. The future seems to be bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Excellent! If the majority of the Rowdies present were freshmen that most definitely bodes well for the future! If this keeps up, in 2 years we'll be filling the JAR and rocking InfoCision Stadium! We've gotta turn UA athletic events into THE PLACE TO BE and the Rowdies are a MAJOR key to doing that. Screw being Cleveland's ugly little sister! Akron a bonafide college town? I LOVE THAT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan0434 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 "Goal Patrol", both the name and the idea, was started by UConn, circa 2005 or 2006. Anyone taking the name or idea shall be considered unoriginal.Either way, nothing beats UConn's GP. Storrs, CT = the most difficult place to play college soccer in the US, simply because of the fans. Consistently drawing 3,000-4,000 for a normal conference game, about 2,000-2,500 for a non-conference game. Preseason vs. Duke, 7,000+. Had full capacity (8,574), and perhaps close to/upwards of 9,000 due to massive demand for tickets, at Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament games last season. And this season, people aren't going away. O'Brian White (MAC Hermann Trophy winner in 2007, the only player in UConn history with more than one hat-trick in a career, and he got three in a season, including back-to-back 3-goal performances) leads UConn this season, and they are anchored by a solid and experienced defense after losing only 3 seniors (two of which are getting minutes and scoring in the MLS as rookies: Julius James for Toronto FC, Ryan Cordiero for DC United).Went 17-1 at home in 2007, the only loss coming in the Elite 8 to Virginia Tech. Snow the previous night and 45-degree weather the following afternoon created a slop-fest of a field, eliminating UConn's speed advantage. The field and an early injury to O'Brian White slowed down UConn's most explosive player. Virginia Tech wins 1-0 on a garbage goal. Proceeds to get slaughtered (the horribly insensitive pun was not intended) by eventual-champion Wake Forest in the Final Four.Just saying, watch out for UConn in 2008. Making the run to Frisco, TX, in December. And don't use the Goal Patrol namesake please. Think of something else. Be creative, be inventive, be original.

Captain Kangaroo Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 And don't use the Goal Patrol namesake please. Think of something else. Be creative, be inventive, be original.This coming from a UCONN Huskie?That's totally different than a Northeastern Huskie?Or a Washington Huskie?Or a Northern Illinois Huskie?You want original? Try The University of Akron Zips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apalmison Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 "Goal Patrol", both the name and the idea, was started by UConn, circa 2005 or 2006. Anyone taking the name or idea shall be considered unoriginal.2005 or 2006? It's a pretty simple play on words so it probably existed elsewhere long before that. I'll give you this though, UCONN was the first thing to pop up in a Google search for "'Goal Patrol' soccer" FWIW So did a link for the Juneau, Alaska youth soccer program, though.Looking forward to a good season.
