The college soccer season culminates this weekend in Santa Barbara, CA. The field left involves three predictable powerhouses and perhaps one surprise -- #1 University of Louisville Cardinals, #3 University of Akron Zips, University of North Carolina Tar Heels, and University of Michigan Wolverines. The semifinals start Friday at 7:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2 with Louisville taking on UNC, followed by Michigan vs. Akron at 10 pm CT. The final is slated for Sunday, Dec. 12 at 3 pm CT on ESPN2. First of all, I'd like to comment on the freaking jerseys. How nice are D1 jerseys?!!!!! The pristine Nikes and Adidas with crests and all. They look glorious compared to any jersey I've ever worn. I'd also like to comment on the impact that MLS academies have made to the college game. Here's a list of academy grads on the final four rosters (tell me if I missed one):
Akron
Chad Barson, Columbus Crew Soccer
Andrian McAdams, Columbus Crew
Ben Speas, Columbus Crew
Eric Stevenson, Columbus Crew
