Can't go Friday (work ends at 5:30 and absolutely no way I can leave early so can't be at game in time) but will be watching and absolutely am going Sunday if we win.

Game day go Hoosiers!

Apparently Austin Panchot's brother plays on Stanford which I never knew and they could face off in title game:

Any idea what NCAA and stadium plans to do to get the field ready Sunday in time for the game? Snow looks like it will be long gone by game time but it looks like Philly could get up to 6 inches of snow into Saturday night. I am still planning on going if we win tonight but I am on a tight schedule and need to be back at work Monday morning (have 1st flight in and last flight out Sunday) so I can't afford to have them push start time back or delay game a day.   

On a positive note Lillard is one of 3 finalists for the Hermann player of the year trophy. Last Hoosier to win it was Danny O'Rourke in 04. Before that it was our current assistant Brian Maisonneuve in 94 (although Dema Kovalenko won the NSCAA player of the year award in 98 which now no longer exists).

Also does anyone know where we played games before Armstrong opened in 81? I just realized sport started in 73 and never really thought about where we played before that.

I had a feeling this would happen. Akron D is good but not good enough and as soon as you give up a goal to Stanford your dead. If we win tonight we have to hold Stanford scoreless and hope to get a late winner . You cannot give up an early goal to Stanford like Wake or Akron did and hope to have a chance. If we do against Stanford like we did against MSU its game over. Tonight while I would rather not give up a goal I would actually feel decent about getting it back if we do. We are probably the one team with a chance against Stanford given our D but we cannot let them score early.

On a side note watching a game take place in an MLS stadium is weird. I feel like i'm watching a pro or US game rather than college.
