...by Meram. Go Blue!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
BOOOOOYA
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Michigan now up a goal and up a man!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Meram puts the Blue up 1-0 with a nice shot from inside the box. Huge, huge goal in a game that has been back and forth. And now a straight red card to an SC player - announcers are not happy about it at all.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
...Brandon Banks' punt return TD that was called back for a block in the back. What did the South Carolina guy do to earn the red?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Huge. Didn't seem that bad.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
SKITTLES!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
KInd of a weak red imo.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
11-10 man advantage for Michigan the rest of the game
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
Carolina!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
What garnered the red for SC, didn't see it?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
Gotta get pressing and searching for the 2nd here.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
Meram will sit after being the victim of a hard foul for the 2nd time today, Matt Schmitt in to replace him.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:37 PM ^
I'll give these announcers credit - they're SC homers & Southern stereotypes, but they just devoted a good minute to talking about how we're the best attacking team they've seen all year and a joy to watch.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
for those who are reading this thread as a substitute for the game and haven't gotten to the end of the thread, the announcers just complimented them for coming into the SC roost and wished them well against Penn State or Maryland.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
South Carolina will bring everything they have left here in the final 20 minutes to save their season...Michigan has to play solid defense
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
Yep, but we can't neglect the attack either - a second goal up a man would pretty much end it. I'm looking for Soony Saad to seal the deal in the waning minutes. :)
November 28th, 2010 at 3:40 PM ^
but defense has to come first now...do not get carried away trying to get that second goal
November 28th, 2010 at 3:40 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!
CALLED IT! :P
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
"5 of the last 16 teams in the tournament are from the Big Ten. Dad gum"

November 28th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
...Saad!!!!! Off the outside of his right foot. Nice.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
So who is next?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:43 PM ^
Faces the Winner of Penn State/Maryland
November 28th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
Thank you, sir.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
Winner of Penn St and Maryland. Probably Maryland since they are the 2 seed.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
I tuned in just to see the kickoff after the second goal. Dadgum.
When is the elite 8 game?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
TBA Dec 3-5
@Maryland or vs Penn State in A2
November 28th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
are the dates of the Quarterfinals....no specific times have been announced.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
The quarterfinal time is Home team choice--Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday. It will probably be announced by noon on Monday.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
Game date isn't set yet but it takes place sometime between December 3 and December 5 against the winner of the Penn State-Maryland match. Maryland is the number 2 overall seed.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
Diving in the box. Hard to tell if that was the right call from this camera angle. Also hard to see how SC comes back down 2-0.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
Soony Saad comes off after getting a yellow for a dive in the box. Good day for him, though, with a goal and several good opportunities.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
Does a red card = miss the next match in college?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
is opening up rushes for Michigan...they will have a lot of counter attack opportunities the rest fo the game...
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
Just by the outside post. Damn, almost 3-0.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
Assuming Michigan holds on and Maryland beats PSU, does anyone know when the quarterfinal match will be played.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
Specific matches have not been announced yet
November 28th, 2010 at 3:58 PM ^
Nothing official, but the NCAA handbook says--
Friday between 6 and 7:30 pm, Saturday between noon and 7:30 pm, or Sunday between noon and 1 pm.
Michigan has a home basketball game at 1:00 Saturday, so they probably would avoid a Saturday afternoon game. I think Michigan would also want to avoid a night game in December. If I had to guess, if Michigan hosts Penn State it will be Sunday at 1:00 pm.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
at 5pm.
Did y'all know Michigan State beat Maryland earlier this year
