Buckeyes win the double a Big Ten regular season title & Tournament title. Can they make it a triple ? Record crowd of 8,900 something and it was actually more but they didn’t count the ppl standing apparently
Yep might be a future Crew coach if the opportunity arises. I mean it’s kinda nice having a Crew player coach the Buckeyes.
Crowd was definitely close to 10k. They weren't able to count any of the people on the far side of the field. Congrats to the Bucks! Wasn't their cleanest game but they got the job done. Also, holy crap, college soccer needs fixed. It's way overdue. Why are we still using a countdown clock? Why are we stopping the clock? Why are allowing so many subs (at the D1 level, at least). It's way past time to make the changes.
Unless I'm totally wrong, they count by having one of those metal handheld counting machines at the gate. The stadium allegedly fits 10k, although that might have been from when they had bleachers on the east side. There were way over 8900 there tonight.
Stopping the clock makes more sense than the early years of MLS where they'd stop the play dead when the clock hit 0:00. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the clock stopped for hydration breaks during pro games. Still, that 90 min game took close to 2.5 hours. It'd definitely be nice to bring it more in line with the FIFA/IFAB rules however. Sidenote: It was fun to run into Konrad Warzycha before the game. Also, holy crap we're old. He had two kids in tow.
I'm going to respectfully disagree. I've got no problem with treating a college version of a sport like a college version of a sport. Having the extra substitutions allows more players to play, which is important at the college/developmental level, and it also doesn't treat amateurs like robots with endless motors while they're learning. And the countdown clock is probably a RESULT of the extra subs. Without it, stoppage time could be bordering on ridiculous. I've been beating this drum for a while.
