The highlights are good yes, but from being at the game...they took a deep snooze for a large chunk of time that, if they do it against a good team, will come back to bite them easily. They did it a bit during Cal Poly, but not to this extent. Hope it isn't a trend forming.guitarguy wrote:Like many College Sports you don't get the highest quality of play vs actual pro sports but I'll be honest and say that these highlights.. which apparently are a good example of when they're kicking A$$ look to pass the smell test of Creighton being a very good soccer team.. which does have a very long way to go but looks the part of a Championship team..

Thanks a lot I haven't followed College Soccer lately but always supported Creighton before I moved to NYC and plan to start againMadMartin8 wrote:GuitarGuy: The game with St. John's on September 21st could be a good matchup. Unfortunately a lot of their great games seem to be on the road this year (like Georgetown) .

It marks the Jays’ first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton has ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the past three seasons, including last week’s poll position.
At the game last night it seemed the student section wasn't near as brutal as usual. The heckling of the Michigan State goalie was definitely not up to par. And the refs were definitely letting them scrap it out in the field. Though, this little encounter in the second half did garner a yellow card for M. State.MadMartin8 wrote:Creighton ties Michigan state 2-2 after of course 2OT. Creighton looked tired as can be expected, and the refs were paid off by Jim Delaney.
Not a problem. I go to all the games, so I figured I'll just go ahead and post.Coyote wrote:Ooops. Missed this one due to Football and Volleyball. Nice win.MadMartin8 wrote:Creighton beats Xavier 2 to 0.
It was a chilly night at the game.
Thanks for posting that.
