(MSOC) Xavier-Indiana

[X-band '01]

Game is scheduled for 1 PM today on the Big 10 network (333/1333 on Time Warner).

[Muskie]

I've got a good feeling.

[Nildogg]

I've got a good feeling.

For a second, I thought you had them on the basketball schedule.

Regardless, I hope you end their season and make them cry. lol

[BMoreX]

About to kickoff...still is weird to see the soccer team with Under Armour jerseys.

I would buy one.

[BMoreX]

I would buy one.

I would too. I would bet they start selling them soon.

WOW IU JUST MISSED A PK!

[BBC 08]

Cannot believe he missed that. Also, I hate how they count down with the game clock.

[Xville]

Very lucky Indiana is not up 1 or 2 to 0 right now...xavier is being dominated thru the first twenty minutes.

[Xville]

Gooooooooallllllll!!!!!!

[BMoreX]

Dammit I switched to red zone and missed the goal

[Xville]

Up 1-0 now....seemed to have settled down over the past 10 minutes and they are attacking rather than letting Indiana control the ball

[paulxu]

Get some Muskies!

[MADXSTER]

The head ball set that up but the freshman made a great shot.

[BMoreX]

Wow howd we not score on that corner

[BMoreX]

And there goes the mic.

[MADXSTER]

Nooooooooooo

[BBC 08]

A guy I play indoor with on Sunday nights played for IU. Should be interesting seeing him after this game.

[paulxu]

Where are you guys able to watch this?

Ignore that if the answer is BTN. Thought there may be a stream.

[Xville]

Ugh all tied up..11 minutes left in the half.

[BMoreX]

Dammit. Monmouth scored quickly after we did on Thursday too.

[Xville]

Where are you guys able to watch this?

It's on the big crap..I mean ten network

[BMoreX]

Where are you guys able to watch this?

Big Ten Network

[MADXSTER]

Where are you guys able to watch this?

BTN on direct tv channel 610

[BMoreX]

I would buy one.

@XUmktgguy: @ChrisBacon29 Hi Chris, good thought. I'll connect with @XUAFOShop and work on this for next season.

[ballyhoohoo]

For a second, I thought you had them on the basketball schedule.
lol

We don't want to make out non com any softer. That's why we left then off

[nuts4xu]

That field is sloppy as HELL! Lets go X!

[D-West & PO-Z]

WOOOOWWW Penalty kick coming.

[BMoreX]

PK. Gotta get it.

[Xville]

Gooooallllllll....16 minutes away from the sweet 16

[MADXSTER]

Nice!!!

[DC Muskie]

Boom!

[BMoreX]

Boom!

Win today and the next game and there's a potential matchup with Maryland in a few weeks.

Jesus Bacon, Don't jinx it!

[paulxu]

Since I don't have BTN, gametracker says 1:40 to go. Get it X!

[BMoreX]

Jesus Bacon, Don't jinx it!

Total confidence.

Moving on, round of 16!

[BMoreX]

Looking like we have a rematch with Creighton next week. We tied the Blue Jays a month ago.

[paulxu]

Nice.

[Xville]

Sweet 16!

[X-man]

Winning goal by Will Walker, first team Big East his senior year!

[bobbiemcgee]

Great win!

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Outstanding! Really excited. Big, big win. Congratulations.

[JAPER]

Way to be! If providence wins tonight, 4 teams from big east in sweet 16.
Basketball to follow in March.

[Xville]

What are the chances the next game is going to be on TV? I'm sure there will be a stream but it would be nice to not have to watch it on my laptop.

FS1 or 2 could take it theoretically since its two Big East games.

Looks like two hoops games on fs1 though. My guess is BEDN.

[Masterofreality]

Huge, HUGE win!

Will Walker is an absolute stud!

[JTG]

Anytime X wins it's great and it's double great when IU loses at anything, anytime, anywhere. Sorry I hate IU. Too many IU fans here in Indy.

[BMoreX]

The NCAA Sweet Sixteen is about to be comprised of 4 Big East teams.

[Muskie]

I just watched the match on DVR. A great match for X.
Coach Fleming is right. Greatest moment in Xavier Soccer History.

[XUGRAD80]

Outstanding game under worse than bad conditions. I can remember playing in similar conditions and it really is hard to do much of anything and to get any type of real flow. Really tough for team like X, that seems to rely on player speed and counter attacks to score goals, to be successful offensively in conditions such as they experienced today. Indiana has the most successful men's college soccer program in history (I believe they have EIGHT national championships to their credit), so this was obviously the biggest win in Xavier men's soccer history. Congratulations and best of luck in the next round guys! We are proud of you!

IU does indeed have 8 championships, second to SLU's 10.

Actually my alma mater Saint Louis University does in terms of championships. They have 10. But its pretty ancient history as they havent been in the national championship game since the 70's.

Didnt see your post before posting mine.

He brought the heat in that interview. It wasn't the typical "IU is great, this is good for us" coach speak.

[sgarcia]

What a great win yesterday. Maryland was also upset by UMBC so the bracket is WIDE open now.

[BMoreX]

Any idea what happens if Xavier wins and UMBC wins? It's probably unlikely, but where does that game get played?

I do remember SLU being very good in soccer, but was not aware they had won that many championships. I seem to remember that youth soccer was very popular in the St. Louis area long before it caught on in other parts of the country. Wasn't Washington University, in St.Louis, also a small college soccer power?

[paulxu]

We just need to get to the semi's so I can go up to Cary to see them.

Yes.

The St. Louis clubs were always ridiculous. Scott Gallagher, Busch, Metro. There was/is crazy talent there.

[STL_XUfan]

There is very little to no youth football in St. Louis (at least in the 90's), it is all soccer.

It boggles the mind how St. Louis has no MLS team.

[sgarcia]

It boggles the mind how St. Louis has no MLS team.

I'm pretty sure they aren't even considered to get an expansion team. I know MLS wants to get to 24 teams. In 2017 when Chivas comes back and ATL gets added they'll be at 22. I'm pretty sure Sacramento and/or San Antonio will get a team. Las Vegas might be in the mix as well. St Louis would seem like a good place for a team and I am baffled that they haven't made any push for an MLS squad.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

How Phoenix is not in the mix is absolutely beyond me with our large Latino population?

[Juice]

Because they tried that with Chivas and it didn't work out.

[X-band '01]

I thought Chivas was an LA team.

[ammtd34]

I thought Chivas was an LA team.

They are. I'm pretty sure he meant simply taking advantage of the Latino population. Hell, they even gave Chivas a Mexican name.

St. Louis has bigger fish to fry.

The Rams are rumored to be one of the franchises that is in line to move back to Los Angeles.....that is, unless they build a new NFL Stadium there.

Incredible to believe, but the Edward Jones Dome, which is only 20 years old, is considered to be outdated. WTF?

"In May 2012 the Dome was ranked by Time Magazine as the #7th worst major sports stadium in the United States.[11] In 2008 St. Louis fans ranked it in a Sports Illustrated poll the worst of any NFL stadium with particularly low marks for tailgating, affordability and atmosphere."

[Xville]

The dome is a horrible place to watch a football game. Yes it is only 20 years old, but it was already 10 plus years old when it was built..meaning the plans for the place had been made ten years before it was ever even built. Saint Louis had tried on numerous occasions to get an expansion franchise but when that failed, they got the rams.

Their lease expires at the end of the season - that's why they're a prime candidate to relocate.

It's similar in a way to the Atlanta Braves and their move up north - Turner Field was merely a redesign of the 1996 Olympic Stadium. The Braves will complete the lease at Turner Field and move to their new digs (will be called SunTrust Park) once the ballpark/mall area is complete.

[GIMMFD]

Any idea what happens if Xavier wins and UMBC wins? It's probably unlikely, but where does that game get played?

If we beat Creighton and get to Elite 8, we play either Loserville or UMBC, Loserville is actually pretty good, but where we are the higher seed we would have the game at home. Which would be absolutely nuts. Win that, and we are off to the Final 4 in Cary, NC!

[Xville]

We should definitely be rooting for umbc so that we have a home game for a chance to get to the final four...first things first though, beat creighton

[D-West & PO-Z]

I dont think many people in St. Louis would notice or care in the Rams left. All about the Cardinals in that town. Crazier about baseball there than any town I know.

Cardinals are definitely number one but saint louis supports every team there well. They support the blues like crazy and still put 55k to 60k at a terrible venue for a terrible team that hasn't had a winning season in what will now be 12 seasons

I think they care about the Blues much more than the Rams.

I lived there in college for 6 years and I the Rams were really an afterthought.

[paulxu]

Speaking of Louisville, I saw their BB uniforms on tv a bit ago.
What? They look from a distance like low rider jeans, down around the butt.
Optical illusion but why go for that one?
