Not advancing out of CONCACAF, as the behemoth, to the WC is the definition of "suck" Nice dodge there. Why do soccer fans think they know everything, and love to tell you so?

They might not be - an easy explanation. People just looking at the KenPom number are missing the point - the rating is +40something over the average basketball team that year. It's just as likely, especially with the chalky tournament we've seen, that the "average team" is just getting worse...

When haven't we sucked? Seriously, this question should be - "Do we still suck?"

Not a %^@#$%#$%^#@%^ing chance.

I, literally, conjured up my own mojo at halftime. Was cooking steaks for game-watching guests, and realized that, in the madness of trying to cook for 8, i forgot to put on my lucky rugby shirt. Put it on at the half to moans from my crew (knowing this was a serious faux-pas) Sorry about the...

Same thought here. Calling a team representing the most cornbread white city in North America a Real has been the biggest sign of not being serious here in the US. A joke on 100 levels.

Prove that. It's just as easily (and more likely) that better ranked TEAMS get more bids. Conference bid counts are a byproduct of that. I'm too lazy to do the legwork, since you won't read or cite it anyway, but I would bet that your hyperbolic "zOMG BEST CONFERENCE EVER, KENPOM SUCKS"...

So? Based on the metrics, it should. This doesn't prove anything. What doesn't seem to get to you is this one thing: Metrics-wise, the "Conference rankings" is just a random group of only half the teams. If you get good numbers amongst the upper half of your conference, regardless of head...

The rare double Euro cosplay. They couldn't have snuck a Real or City or AC in there too?

With the extra added bonus of their unbelievable win over us miles from their campus.

The next even mediocre beer from Marlowe will be the first.

This is always the simplest, but wrong, answer. Howard just got a full NCAA credit for winning that game. Ask their AD if that's a big deal or not. Can't eliminate the 16/16 play-in without some revenue offset.

No Sean McDonough? Him+Raf+Bilas is the best crew ever, IMHO

That's the late Tim Tolokan, not Wayne Norman.

The word "defensed" Don't even care if it's grammatically allowed. It's "defended"
