If anyone out there is attending this game, I'd be happy to post updates. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM and I'll get you my contact info.

It's already covered.

What sort of arrangement do you have?

I'll be there with my laptop and cellular modem with free minutes for use, we could arrange for someone (or myself if my photography attempts aren't fruitful) to type posts directly.

Bluevelvet will be calling me with updates from the sidelines.

Anyone else out there fired up about this one? Lots of subplots here. Has there been a better rivalry than this one over the last 4-5 years? This year, both are young teams trying to establish their consistency after years of top level competition. CSU has to have been pointing to this game since the tragic events of last May. UCSB is in the middle of a killer stretch of games in their schedule. CSU is playing the 1st game of the year, while UCSB is already battling some injuries from the games they've played. Other than that, it's your run-of-the-mill game. Tune in about 2 hours from now.

I'm definitely excited about it! Looking forward to your updates, I'll be tuned in...

CSU score on their first possession. 1-0 CSU

#9 for CSU (Murphy?) scores to make it 2-0. UCSB had 2 shots but were off cage. Game is being played in Harder Stadium, so they can't see the clock or scoreboard. There appears to be more CSU fans than UCSB fans right now.

Sloppy play, lots of ground ball scrums & dropped passes. UCSB killed off a penalty. Still 2-0 in the 1st quarter.

CSU score by freshman Steven Lundberg to make it 3-0 CSU in the 1st.

UCSB is on the board as a goal is scored by George Granelli assisted by an attack player (no number) to make the score CSU 3 UCSB 1.

I love the new, "let the other team get up by 3-4 goals before we start playing" strategy from UCSB this year...BYU fell right into their trap, maybe Flip is smarter.

UCSB goal by Jack Miller on a fast break after 3 passes. Assist possibly by Stratton. 3-2 CSU 2nd quarter action.

Early on CSU was getting most of the groundballs. That tide seems to have turned. UCSB fans have started to show up. It's now about 5-1 in UCSB fans to CSU fans.

Goal by Nick Schooler to tie up the game at 3 -3. 2nd quarter
