Please tell me what football brands are in the Big 12 that people care about. I'm not being facetious, I really can't think of any. Arizona St? Maybe Colorado until Deion is gone? Maybe I'm on a zone patrol but I don't really think K-State when I think football brand.

Oh come on, we all know it was a "Mutual Decision"! ;)

Good Lord it's pretty sad that some people have to dump on a thread that should be about young men making the most exciting step of their lives so far. We have a hundred other threads to be cranks in but nope, gotta whizz in one that should be an optimistic new start. smh

Mmmm. So good!

It's good to see Jahn having more success this year. If it keeps playing out like it is now we'll be playing each other in the second division next year. I can't even say that we stink, we simply can't score. The number of 1-0 games we've lost where we've been the clearly better team is...

Generally I prefer the block C as the husky is too cartoonish or clip-arty. I wouldn't mind from time to time having a depiction of the state with the players number inside. For example, on a white helmet a blue state image with white numbers inside. I wouldn't use it all the time, maybe when...

As much as I would like to see us win the last two games, my concern is that we score a lot of points and then decide that Charlton has turned the corner and deserves another season. So I guess a couple of grinding wins?

I've seen from time to time someone state that BC has blackballed us from joining the ACC. Is that really a thing? I can't really see how one school can block what 14 other schools want to do. Unless it's NATO, I guess... Unfortunately I follow this from afar and try not to get too invested...

I think he's comparing the European Super League they tried a few years ago and general NCAA realignment. Not specifically college soccer. But in either case, one can't really compare the sports business model between Europe and the US. Here it is about sport and fair play first and money...

I guess I would argue that West Virginia and Louisville were football moves instead of Market Moves.

Yeah, I'm a tick further south in central Germany. We were sitting outside at 10pm last night when the lights started turning on. The downside is that the birds start chattering at 4:30 am. :mad:

What if the stadium were on campus?

Yeah, it looks like Jahn and Sandhausen are pretty much done. It was a good run for Sandhausen but it was always a miracle that they lasted so long.

Just wondering... Are you contractually obligated to add a 'g' each type you type his last name?

Gregg Berhalter being a bad coach and deserving to be shown the door and the Reynas being the absolute worst are not mutually exclusive. We can get a capsule big enough to shoot three people into the sun.

These Americans have knocked us off two weeks in a row in the last 5 minutes... It's getting tiresome...

Approximately the same number of MLS matches I've seen in the last 2 years.

When did Max Headroom become a football commissioner?

I regularly watch 2. Bundesliga matches but honestly can't say I see too much of MLS matches so I may be biased. I'm not saying it's light years ahead of MLS, but that the level of play, top to bottom, may be slightly better; I could be wrong. Anyway, at that level there probably isn't much of...

I would probably put a couple of second divisions around place 10 before the bottom 3 listed.

I've seen two of their games. I'm not super impressed as they looked kind of disjointed and lethargic, especially against Ecuador. But you always had the feeling they were a tick away from being pretty good.

Yeah, I'm going to enjoy my visit to the bar after work... They gave a me a ton of flack (to avoid autocorrect) after the US performance. Beers gonna taste good!

I'm a bit confused by the inclusion of Josh Sargent over Pefok and Pepi since he's played in exactly one game for the US team in the last year. I would have thought there was more of an upside with them; am I missing something?

They must have just made their last payment...

In for 2 even though I would be donating them.

Yeah, I saw that. Bummer. At least you can focus on the season now. I'm happy we're through but we can lose now; I don't want to get to the semis or final and then lose. The Bayern - Leipzig - Dortmund buzz-saws are still there and eventually one of them will win.

Nice win for Regensburg on the weekend... Big 3 points for you! Hopefully you can keep it going tomorrow.

I was 5 minutes away from driving up for that game, but had a gut feeling that I should stay home, BBQ, and drink Hefeweizen instead. Good choice.

Yeah, I watched part of that game against Kiel, the first time I watched them this season. They did look pretty harmless. Luckily there are four AWFUL teams behind you so hopefully you can get it together soon. But Düsseldorf is definitely doable in the next DFB Pokal round for you guys.

Yeah, I watched parts of that game yesterday and immediately regretted my post. I jinxed you... Sorry.

True but you guys seem pretty well entrenched in the middle of the table, right? That's what i seem to remember without looking it up. I actually think the best place for Mainz would be in the second division; we can't keep up with the tons of money getting dumped into 75% of the first division...

Tell me about it! That's me every year; it's funny how we have the exact same outlook. Get 40 points Don't lose in the first round of the Pokal Everything else is gravy.

Yeah, that breaks my heart to see Bayern struggle at anything.

Yeah, the 50+1 rule is great in concept but when one club has 2x the resources of the second richest club the league it creates a steep hill for everyone else.

I wish we would pick a couple up that would be sweet. Actually, that is what Mainz is best at, developing young players.
