As the Men’s Soccer Team (17-0-1) makes its final preparations before heading to Poughkeepsie, NY for this weekend’s MAAC Tournament, they know they have already accomplished something very special. The ‘Hounds 3rd undefeated regular season in school history has not gone unnoticed in the eyes of the national college soccer media.

Tuesday's Top 5 Thing I think about... College Football
I think Alabama is way better than I thought they were. They were able to play a full 60 plus minutes of almost error-free football on the road in Baton Rouge and defeated LSU
in Overtime 27-21 Saturday night. The Tide offense was able to move the ball against an aggressive Tiger defense when they needed to – to overcome an early deficit, to give them a chance to win in regulation, and to score in OT. What surprised me most about the performance was how Alabama’s O-line was able to dominate the line of scrimmage against the vaunted D-line of LSU. Nick Saban’s team can’t focus on Florida and the SEC Title game just yet, they have home games remaining against Mississippi State and in-state rival Auburn, whose beaten ‘Bama the last six times the two have tangled.
I think I would absolutely love to see a Texas Tech – Boise State bowl game. These two
teams have the most fun offenses in college football. Boise State (9-0), the titans of the trick play, had four different players throw TD passes, 2 QB’s, a wide receiver and RB Ian Johnson in their 49-14 win over Utah State. Texas Tech and Coach Mike Leitch have never seen a pass play they didn’t like. However, the chances we see this game are slim to none. If Texas Tech loses this weekend at Oklahoma and doesn’t go on to the Big XII Title game, they will most likely be shut out of the BCS altogether, even with just 1 loss. Remember, three teams from one conference cannot participate in the BCS, and it would be tough to see Red Raiders go over 1-loss Oklahoma or Texas teams.
I think Coach Charlie Weis is safe at Notre Dame at least for another season or two. The Irish are coming off a 17-0 loss in the Catholic Bowl to Boston College leaving them with a record of
5-4 overall and the Domers are not pleased. Even though ND has now dropped 15 of their last 16 contests against teams with winning records Weis is not in danger of losing his gig. If terminated at season’s end, Notre Dame would owe him in the ballpark of 18-21 million to just go away – I can’t see the athletic department and alumni association going for this option just yet. It gets no easier for Coach Weis and his players this week when they prepare for Navy. If they win, they have nothing to gain; if they lose, it would be their second consecutive loss to the Middies, something just unacceptable and unfathomable in South Bend. One more interesting note, with an Irish loss and a Texas win, the Longhorns would pass Notre Dame for second on the all-time wins list, behind Michigan.
I think, as hard as it may be to do, SEC athletic directors and fans need to take a step back and a deep breath if their programs are uncharacteristically struggling. Tennessee announced last
week that their longtime head coach, Phil Fullmer, will not return for next season. That’s right - Phil Fulmer, UT alumnus and coach of their national title winner in ’98 not to mention the coach who won them an SEC East title just last season! And word from Auburn is that Coach Tommy Tubberville’s seat has warmed considerably in the midst of a 5-5 season. It’s hard to believe that Auburn could finish bowless at 5-7 and 2-4 in conference play if they can’t register an upset over Georgia or Alabama to end their year. While the line would go around the corner with coaches with great credentials if the job opened up, Auburn needs to realize Coach Tubberville has done a great job during his tenure having beaten Alabama 6 straight seasons, sporting an 80-33 overall record, capturing 2 SEC West titles, and completing an undefeated, untied season in ’04.
I think no one in the country realizes that Oregon State, not USC, controls its own destiny to win the Pac-10 championship and play in the Rose Bowl. They’re 6-3 overall and 5-1 in confe
rence, including a big 27-21 win over the Trojans at home earlier this year. There is no Pac-10 title game, so if the Beavers take care of business in their three remaining games, home against Cal, at Arizona, and their season finale at home against Oregon they’ll be crowned champs. Good for them.

Basketball Preview: The MAAC
As we count down the days to the tip-off of 2008-2009 Men’s Basketball season let’s take a quick tour around the rest of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
During the MAAC Coaches Media Day at the ESPN Zone in New York City last week, the Siena Saints were named a unanimous preseason favorite for the conference championship and their senior guard Kenny Hasbrouck was tabbed preseason Player of the Year.
The coaches ranked Fairfield second, Rider third, Loyola fourth, followed by Manhattan, Iona, Canisius, St. Peter’s and Marist.
The preseason all-MAAC team is led by a trio of Saints from Siena, Hasbrouck, Edwin Ubiles and Alex Franklin and also includes Fairfield’s Jonathan Han, and Rider’s Ryan Thompson.
Loyola’s sophomore point guard Brian Rudolph headlines the second team along with Fairfield’s Anthony Johnson, Iona’s Gary Springer, Manhattan’s Drew Pearson, Niagara’s Tyrone Lewis, and Harris Mansell from Rider.
The third team is comprised of five high scoring perimeter players: Frank Turner of Canisius, Devon Austin of Manhattan, David Devezin of Marist, and Wesley Jenkins of St. Peter’s.
That’s how the coaches see it; I on the other hand think the MAAC standing might look a little something like this:
1) Siena
2) Niagara
3) Loyola
4) Rider
5) Fairfield
6) Iona
7) Manhattan
8) St. Peter’s
9) Marist
10) Canisius
In recent years the MAAC has proven to be a second chance for a lot of players who choose to transfer, whether its to be closer to home, or because at there original spots they weren’t getting the PT they had hoped, the MAAC has had their arms open to players looking to relocate. This season is no different. Niagara will be led by former UConn Huskie Rob Garrison, and Villanova Wildcat Bilal Benn. Chris Smith, brother of J.R., and formerly of Seton Hall will be at Manhattan. And at Loyola, Jamal Barney an ex-Providence Friar will look to shoulder some of the scoring load left by another ex-Friar, Gerald Brown.
Those guys aside, the following is a list of who I believe to be the most talented players in the conference. If there were nine blank rosters and the MAAC had a player draft, here would be a list of the most coveted guys.
1) Edwin Ubiles, F Siena: The best athlete in the conference. He’s long, 6’6, and lean 2
15lbs, and has size and skill to play the post or wing. As the case of many of his Saint teammates he’s at his best on the run in the open floor.
2) Ryan Thompson, G Rider: The Thompson brothers are finally split up. Jason is now a Sacramento King and Ryan is long last king in Lawrenceville. A phenomenal shooter, and passer, Thompson will have a big time breakout year.
3) Alex Franklin, F Siena: The most unheralded of Siena Big 3, but maybe the team’s most consistent player. Franklin uses hustle and grit to score layups in transition and finished putbacks off the offensive glass to get him points and a high field goal percentage.
4) Kenny Hasbrouck, G Siena: He’s a leader and a winner. He’s the preseason POY and deserved to be. Ask him to handle at the point and run the offense, OK. Ask him to defend the opposing teams best player at the 1, 2, or 3, no problem. Ask him to do anything that will help the team win, Hasbrouk will - without a doubt.
5) Brian Rudolph, G Loyola: In a conference where good point guard play is crucial in Rudolph, Loyola has the best pure passer and playmaker in the MAAC. He attacks the rim ferociously and always seems to find open guys setting up for the 3. If last year’s Rookie of the Year can hit the open shot himself, he will definitely make the first team all-MACC at year’s end.
6) Tyrone Lewis, G Niagara: The 5’11 combo guard from Philadelphia will get plenty more chances to score after Charron Ficsher’s graduation from the program. Going, into his third season, Lewis has seen the highest of highs – going to the dance and being on the all-MAAC Tourney Team as a freshman and the lowest of lows – being upset in last year’s first round as a sophmore.
7) Frank Turner, G Canisus: Turner is Canisius’ quickest player, its best defender, its best shooter, its best penetrator, and its leader. Frank Turner, a third year starter in his Junior season will once again shoulder a big load as the Golden Griff’s do-it-all guy. It would be great to see Turner get to play with a decent set of teammates… unfortunately this won’t be the season that happens.
8) Devon Austin, G Manhattan: One of the MAAC’s most exciting players. Solidly built at 6’6 he has the athleticism to finish on the run and the quickness to get to the basket in the half court. Austin’s a guy who has a nose for the ball.
9) Anthony Johnson, F Fairfield: The only post player on the list. Last year, it was Jason Thompson and everybody else. This year its… well, just everybody else. Johnson, teammate Greg Nero, and Loyola’s Isaac Reid could be this year’s best big.
10) Wesley Jenkins, G St. Peter’s: Last year as a freshman, he showed a great ability to be able to score the basketball. He can nail 3’s with the best of them, get to the lane with the best of them, and is always on the verge of scoring in waves.

Men's Soccer finises of unbeaten regular season
5 – Scores by Loyola in Saturday’s game vs. Rider (Loyola 5 – 0 Rider)
9 – Number of wins in conference for the Greyhounds this regular season (9-0-0)
17 – Regular season victories in 18 regular season games (17-0-1)
22 – Years since Loyola’s last unbeaten regular season (1986: 15-0-4)
1 – Seed earned in the upcoming MAAC Tournament after receiving the regular season championsip
2 – Wins necessary for a 2nd consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament
The Loyola Men’s Soccer Team has completed their regular season without any defeats. The #6 ranked team will now look for a second consecutive MAAC Tournament Champions
hip next weekend in Poughkeepsie. They are seeded #1 and will face the Purple Eagles of Niagara, the #4 seed, in the semifinals Friday afternoon. In their only meeting of the season Loyola scored a 1-nil victory in western New York on a Daniel Ankrah goal with just 79 seconds remaining in regulation. On the other side of the bracket are #2 Siena and #3 Fairfield.
College Soccer News offers this about the upcoming playoff:
Prediction: Loyola (MD) has a lock on an invite to the NCAA Tourney based on what they have accomplished to date. If Loyola does win with the MAAC Tourney, they will receive an at-large bid.
It will be very interesting to see how the Greyhounds are seeded in the NCAA tournament. All the major recognized polls rank Greyhounds in the top 6 of the country. The only other school to get through the season unscathed is Wake Forest, who is the unanimous top ranked team in the nation. The ‘Hounds will get a home game at least, maybe even one or two more in further rounds, and it will be important for the Loyola community to rally around this group. There’s a good chance this team ranks among the greatest of any Greyhound athletic team in any sport ever.

Women's Soccer Overwhelmed in MAAC Finals
The Loyola Women’s Soccer Team’s bid for consecutive MAAC Tournament Championships ended Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 loss to Fairfield in the final. The loss is a disappointing one for the ‘Hounds, who earned the #1 seed after being crowned regular season champions. Fairfield’s Ahna Johnson scored all three goals of the title match and a steady Stags defense, anchored by goalie Kelly Broudreau, did not allow a goal.
The loss marked their first set back in conference play this season and capped their overall record at 10-6-1. Lea Day, Lina Staropoli, and Heather Cooke were selected to the all-tournament team.

Poll: Who is college football best 1-loss team?
The two teams in line to compete for the BCS National Championship both took care of business this weekend. #1 Alabama won the Nick Saban Bowl in Baton Rouge in OT 27-21, while #2 Texas Tech maintained in control of the ultra competitive Big 12 South race coming off a 56-20 rout over a then #9 ranked Oklahoma State team. And two teams eliminated themselves from any chance of playing in the title game, Penn State with their shocking loss at Iowa and LSU with their previously mentioned loss to the Tide. That leaves us with only four teams with legitimate claims for consideration outside of squads that reside in Tuscaloosa, AL and Lubbock, TX.
This week’s poll question asks which of these four teams, all with just one lone blemish on their record, is the beast?
Is it Florida? They’re #4 in the BCS rankings and playing as good of football as they have a
ll season. Led by the defending Hesiman Trophy winner Tim Tebow they downed Vanderbilt in Nashville 42-14 this weekend and with the W clinched the SEC East, setting up a showdown with Alabama the first Saturday of December. Will it mean a title show for the Gators? After home games against #25 South Carolina and the Citadel and a trip to Tallahassee to play the ‘Noles, we will see.
Is it Oklahoma? The playoffs start this Saturday for the BCS ranked #5Sooners. They’ll pla
y host to Texas Tech, after that they play in-state rival Oklahoma St. in Stillwater, and if they do that there’s a chance for a potential Big 12 Championship Game and if they can rack up those 3 in a row… a trip to Miami could be there’s. Can Sam Bradford and his offense, which averages 51.4 ppg, lead them there?
Is it Southern California? The Trojans offense did not march on Cal they way they had hoped, but their defense is as good as any. In their last five games, they’ve
pitched three shoutouts and while allowing only 13 points total. Will the Pac-10 prove to be strong enough to send its champion to the title game? Coach Pete Carroll hopes so. There’s no doubt USC, ranked just #6 in the BCS, can beat anyone on any given day, but will they get the chance?
Or is it Texas? They’re the highest ranked 1-loss team at #3 in the BCS, with their only loss coming two weeks ago in heartbreak fashion on the road at Texas Tech. The
Longhorns, will need to take finish strong over Kansas on the road and win a home game over Texas A&M and hope that Red River Rival Oklahoma can knock off Tech leading to a 3-way tie in the South. The tiebreaker to see who represents division in the conference title game is the BCS Rankings. Can Texas hit BCS lottery twice in one year?
