I will attend my first ever soccer game(match?) AFTER ETSU re-instates football. AFTER. Since the beginning they have tried to foist it upon fans as a replacement for football. A minor sport will never be a replacement for real football and hopefully they get that now with a new sheriff in town. Soccer has its place along with the other minor sports but the school has to become a member of the Tennesse state university system again and get that marching band back and make Fall semester like a university again. No more poetry slams for Homecoming.

So any university that doesn't have football doesn't "feel" like a university? There are plenty of good reasons to have football, but this is just dumb.

No what is dumb is being the only state university in Tennesse to NOT have a football program. And being the only school to have a poetry slam for homecoming. That is not only dumb, it is stupid and emabarrassing.

RE: Buc 2012 Futbol Schedule Released
I love how people harp on the athletic department for lacking vision and direction, and then when a program actually shows vision and direction, those same people take every opportunity to crap on said program. That's real support, right there.

Calabrese has laid down another tough gauntlet for his players. Away to Kentucky, Davidson, and Furman are all going to be really challenging away fixtures, though all three are very winnable games. UAB will likely be in the top 25 again for much of this year (finished #21 last year), and not many of our athletic programs can get a former national champion and routine final four member for a home game (Wake Forest won it all in 2007). UNCG has made several runs into the third round and quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament and will be looking for payback after we beat them in a very tightly-contested game last year.

Unfortunately, I fear the A-Sun won't offer a similar challenge, though Stetson and Gulf Coast are always good. So long as we can avoid what happened last season and not play down to our competition, we should have at least four, maybe five relatively easy wins on the schedule. I'll bet Calabrese is really stoked by all this SoCon talk; imagine if those games against Davidson, Furman, ASU and UNCG were conference games, plus you get College of Charleston and Elon. Furman got into the NCAA tournament as an at-large last year, and C of C did the same in 2010 (we played them and lost 3-2 in the first round).

I went out to the spring game against Virginia Tech, and they just systematically dismantled that team in the second half without a lot of their better players (no Coulter, Pugh, or Calzadilla, Reed only played about 10 minutes with a cast on his arm), and I think a couple of guys still aren't 100%. They definitely look the part of a team that's ready for the big time. If they can stay healthy and play to their potential, they'll go second, maybe even third round of the NCAA tournament. With a little luck, they might could go deeper.

The sad thing about that is, when NKU comes here to play, they will be laughing-their-cleats-off at our sub-standard "D-1" facility. Their D-II stadium, according to their website:

"seating for 1,000 spectators and an artificial playing surface that contain a fully lighted, World Cup style 120-yard by 80-yard competition field. Other amenities include concessions and restroom facilities, coaches’ offices, four team locker rooms plus officials’ dressing rooms, full athletic training facilities, a press box and media work area to facilitate radio and television broadcasts, laundry and equipment storage . . . also include the "Founders' Suite," a 1,000 square foot luxury box that includes a walk-out deck which overlooks the field and will provide exceptional amenities for spectators . . . and give NKU the opportunity to recruit top-notch student-athletes in soccer to compete at the highest level in NCAA Division II."

Here's a link to view their jem of a soccer complex:

http://nkunorse.com/sports/2009/8/5/GEN_...cerstadium

........................................

That's just soccer. Their NCAA D-II $68,000,000 basketball arena (built in 2008) is partially described as:

"accommodating up to 10,000 spectators, 14 luxury suites, 2 party suites and other fan amenities." 04-jawdrop

Yep, NCAA D-II arena: 2 levels of all-around seating, luxury boxes, drop-down video boards, etc. You know, it's everything that D-1 ETSU basketball doesn't have. Here's a link to their pics:

http://www.nku.edu/vt/athletics/lockerroom/
(Their pictures are cool, though. Move your mouse pointer across each picture and hold-down the click to get a 360-view.)

........................................

Back to our soccer schedule: at least there's no scheduled loss vs. Belmont!!!

So last year they got ranked for 10 seconds (in a real poll) and barely even made it into the A-Sun tournament and got bounced from it on their home field? Lets not get to crazy,lol like that is going to happen. When is the Greek Chili cook-off this year?

100% agree. The men's soccer team is doing exactly what people say that want from basketball and theoretically would want from a football squad. Recruit high level talent, contend for a conference championship, have a high quality schedule (home and away), and make it to the NCAA tourney. They've done it in just a few years. Get mad about basketball, try to get football back, but don't blame the soccer program for being successful and downplay their accomplishments because it's not your sport of choice.

Yeah they had a great year last year. Contend for a conference championship? They barely made the conference tournament.
They have had 1 good year and took a step back last year, lets not go proclaiming they are dynasty just yet.

You're kidding. You're trying to equate college soccer with college football and college basketball in discussing, interest, and general following in those vital areas of recruiting, contending for conference championships, quality schedule, etc. You're even a long way from talking college soccer on a similar level, tone and emphasis with college baseball and women's college basketball. Now, of course, if I've been asleep for fifty years and this is 2062 and college soccer has caught these other sports in these areas of fan interest, then pardon me.

And, no one is blaming the soccer program for being successful -- just pointing out that fall is FOOTBALL TIME and ETSU ain't playing the game. It cannot be disputed that soccer was started soon after football was dropped at ETSU -- there are some fundamental principles involved here. Like, soccer has benefited from the redistribution of football funds to other sports, maybe more so than any other sport since it wasn't around prior to the demise of football.

They absolutely were disappointing in the regular season, but anyone who follows the team knows that ETSU was one of the best teams in the league. That's why they knocked off the #2 and #3 seeds in the conference tournament and narrowly lost 1-0 in the championship game.

I didn't equate the sports, I said soccer is doing what we would like to see the basketball team do. And really, no one is blaming soccer for being successful? You haven't paid attention then.

I would say it's very similar to baseball in interest level actually. College baseball doesn't spark much widespread national interest, but there are pockets where there is a large following and significant interest at different schools. Soccer has the same.

I wonder if the students at VCU will be pissing and moaning this fall that they don't have football and only have soccer to watch? Same for Creighton, Wichita St, Gonzaga, Xavier, etc. Yes football is king - at the BCS level. That ain't us.

You're right, they got into the tournament on the last day, and then dominated Jacksonville, came back from two goals down to beat Stetson, and went to the final against Gulf Coast, where they got screwed on a pair of offside calls and lost on a goal with one minute left. They made a great charge and got denied a chance at the NCAAs by a defensive header on the goal line with five seconds left. Gulf Coast was, on paper, the only team that could really pose a threat to us. Of course, with injuries (Mercer), suspensions (Belmont), and a poor attitude (Lipscomb), we came up with at least three losses that we shouldn't have had and ended up having to win against USC Upstate to make the tournament, which in itself proved difficult, because we out-shot them something like 15-2 in the first half and trailed 1-0 at the break.

But you can't convince me that this team doesn't have enormous potential. The only big losses are Schoenfeld (whose spot was really filled before he left with Luis Calzadilla transferring from App State) and Ronnie Westbrook. Everybody else is back, plus Colin Pugh and Matt Reed returning after medical redshirts, which is a huge boost. Dalton Guzman is another great find from Knoxville. Jeremy Saad looked pretty solid coming in from Australia. Joao Ramahlo is one of the best forward prospects in the country, and he signed with ETSU.

If they're looking for a 4-3-3, I'd go with this:

Pugh-Geno-Calzadilla
Fubara-Osorio-Doumbe
Hodges-Dykes-Schroettle-Reed
Coulter

Bench:
Woodruff
Haba
Yang
Guzman
Saad
Ramahlo

That kind of depth is pretty much unmatched in this conference. Stetson might be considered a favorite because of the return of Mendoza (player of the year) and Ocejo (defensive player of the year), and minimal losses from graduation, but I don't think they can match us on depth of talent. We'll see how their freshmen do, and if ETSU's depth comes into play. But I think they have a really good shot at winning the conference, getting back to the NCAAs, and surprising some people this year with a good run. The scary part is, the program can still actually get better.

You are confusing individual program vision with department vision. That's great for Calabrese and Men's Soccer but is not a reflection of vision and good direction by the athletic department.

Now had we built the much needed outdoor track around the Soccer field that could have been used by the track team as well as students/the public that would be one thing. But of course............
