Watched first 4 episodes of WOT. I am on book 4. I really like it so far. The deviation from the books is actually kind of cool, although I hope they bring it all back to the book soon. Other than too many actresses with frequent flyer cards from the dermatologist, I’ve enjoyed the plot...
I recorded and watched the Arsenal-MU and half of the liverpool match and parts of Saturday games. Arsenal-MU was a fun watch. Arsenal pressure and control vs MU counters, there was a pair of phenomenal saves by the Arsenal GK before the breakaway disallowed goal, but Arsenal really controlled...
I had a group I was with for a decade plus of season tickets. Have not heard a peep this season, although it might be more me than the team . That said, I have a group of close friends that I generally do an annual tailgate with. I coach my daughter’s soccer team so waiting on the schedule...
I watched from 80:00 when I arrived at the gym this morning (13m stoppage time). Spain was so good. It was like a rugby side vs soccer technicians. They have a thoroughly enjoyable brand of soccer. Cheers to Espana.
Girma was great. She can stop any sideline attack, great 1 on 1, steady in the build up and she had at least one incredible pass for an offensive opportunity (I think we scored on it). She also wrote a beautiful article on her deceased Stanford teammate.
It’s kind of a double whammy- lost in first round knockout and wasted a roster spot and valuable WWC experience on Rapinoe. Several spots open up on the A team, hopefully we have some talent to step in.
Spain is a fun team to watch. If I wasn’t on vacation I might wake up for the final. England is big and very physical, this will be an interesting final.
On the way to DC today. Can anyone recommend a sightseeing/bus tour? FIL is over 70, was hoping to do something that would provide narration and hit all the major sites.
That’s a crazy story. I will say that parents have an expectation that college coaches are attending these tournaments and they get upset when numbers are low. I’m a bit surprised that a quality ECNL player had no college interest. I’d question the club coach as well as they should be...
Family friend’s’ daughter plays ECNL for CFC, she recently committed to Charlotte. If you’re playing elite club soccer, you get seen. To your point, the club costs really aren’t horrible for the year - it’s the travel to tournaments where you shell out the $$$ on family travel. There are also...
I’m on soccer coach/parent forums (my daughter/team is U12). High school soccer is for playing with friends. They don’t need prep. It’s all about the clubs for competition and exposure.
Isn’t it ironic that the logic used to justify SMU to the ACC is the same logic that was used to suggest UConn would be a great fit for the big 12? And yet, it was ASU and UU not us. You can’t make this snow up.
I would imagine that if the two conferences want to merge, they’ll make sure that they both keep their NCAA tournament credits. PAC received 18m in 2022 and that should be somewhat consistent for 5 more years after 23-24 tournament.
In hindsight, there was a major flaw with the entire premise. We needed the deal to bad enough to shake loose Colorado but good enough that the other schools decided to stay. The huge problem was OU and UW - it became clear that they already had conversations and a path to to B1G and once the...
It’s really not much different. But they have the most fans and the most resources. Yes, it will kill the beauty of the NCAA tournament. If that results in an extra few million per school, it’s perfectly fine to them. It’s not an accident that Alabama started landing bball talent - it’s...
The threat is that the Px just creates their own end of season tournament and separates from the NCAA tournament. They rebrand it to match the CFB championship. They keep 100% of the income. The leftover conferences play in what becomes the NIT. This is literally the football model.
I have no issue with FSU exploring their options. I’m not sure that publicly calling that fact out was the most neighborly move. I really don’t recall UConn making a statement that the AAC contract couldn’t hold them back from moving on etc. I do recall almost the entire AAC submitting...
You honestly believe that’s anything less than a verbal dismissal of their current conference? Sure it’s business but that was Vince McMahon walking out to the ring level subtlety. They are absolutely crapping on the ACC, as noted part of the business plan.
I’ve spent a few weeks in SLC for work. Excellent place for outdoor activities - hiking trails are everywhere around the edges of the valley. Antelope Island on the great salt lake where you can get close (for me a little too close) to buffalo. There are plenty of bars and good Mexican food...
