“We wouldn’t want to beat a dead horse, but numerous people feel like men’s soccer is being pushed out of the spotlight. The culprit responsible for this is, of course, football and given their 2-8 record to the soccer team’s 20-0, that makes perfect sense! This isn’t the first time soccer has been neglected either.”

Countless times in the past, the university’s soccer team has continued to dominate the field while UA football has had less than sub-par seasons.

The brand new Infocision stadium has further proved that apparently the condition of the field has nothing to do with the way you play the game.

This may especially hold true considering that the soccer team has continued to play on the same field and nothing dramatic has changed in their performance.

We should be fortunate to have at least one team that doesn’t let us down, so it doesn’t seem fair that we don’t show it.

Maybe men’s soccer should be the team playing on Infocision’s field and the football team can practice on Lee Jackson until they get their act together.

Let’s not rule out the possibility that perhaps the soccer team is so successful because Lee Jackson field contains magical elements which grant them the ability to win! It’s doubtful though.
