#3 Akron is playing on Fox Soccer Channel tonight in beautiful Santa Barbara, California.

Santa Barbara is where the College Cup was held last season when the Zips won it all.

Tonight:

WMU 2 at U-M 1

I believe MAC schools are 5-2 against the Big Twen so far this year. Last year the Twen had FIVE teams in the NCAAs; the MAC one (but it was a BIG ONE!). This year, up to three MAC teams have a good chance of going to the Elite Pitch; while presently the Big Twen doesn't look to deserve more than two; maybe three.

WMU over UM is always nice to see, even if UM isn't good this year. This has been a disappointing season for us so far, but that's a good win any time.

I think the MAC is actually up 4-2 right now, unless I'm missing something...
