  1. scratch that we have 7 best-on-best (including tonight) if you count the warmups regardless poch needs a result tonight badly

  4. 1. campbell writes a $10m check to trump 2. repeal of the 1961whatever act blasts through both houses in days not weeks 3. the next day, the sec and b1g declare a new league with 2 conferences, north and south, with 48 teams 4. in the same press release disney and fox announce they have sent $100m checks to the bottom-feeders in each league and wish them well; likely recipients include mississippi state, northwestern, purdue and vanderbilt 5. the next day invitations go out to 18 schools to fill the remaining positions 6. texas tech are not on that list 7. ???? 8. profit
  5. my feels are we don't have a logical foundation in our domestic league so whatever we do with european-quality players is not going to matter we are not ready to play the modern 4-3-3 with a squad built around 4 or 5 players that regularly feature in the big 5 leagues with the rest riding pine or seeing minutes after the hour trying to play across the back touch line against turkey and suisse was the most incompetent display from the nats since the 06 opener against the czech poch thinks he can take us players and run them out like pep or arteta and we just don't have the cultural foundation for that the last hope for a continued upward trajectory towards next year ended when jurgen was fired 9 years ago if we went back to a full-sam 42 counter we would threaten competence
  6. if vegas would take a prop bet on byu away attendance i would wager no more thank 3k brethren in blue in lubbock for 11am or 6pm+ kick off time delta does not serve LBB at all so every SLC-LBB flight pair is 5 hours at best connecting through DEN, PHX, DFW/DAL and IAH/HOU southwest has added a single nonstop the day before the game SLC-LBB but that's a one-off, w/ no return nonstop the day after for all but 150 people that means a full day of flying on friday and sunday 871 miles, 14+ hours nonstop on the road search result: 85k brethren in north texas let's see how many make the 5+ hour drive which depending on kick time requires a hotel room on friday or saturday night
  7. yormark keeps his job by telling school presidents what they want to hear school presidents are stupid thus, yormark tells school presidents stupid things therefore, yormark behaves irrationally when representing his conference abracadabra
  8. we've done euro camps several times this century as part of international windows and a pair of friendlies on euro soil no mls players traveled as far as i can recall
  9. read the stuff i posted poch said he is going to try out mls players because these are not full internationals because we are already qualified in other words he is using logical rationale that makes sense in the rest of the world but does not understand how it plays here
  10. there was a way to compensate for no competitive preparation...... the owners of the ponzi-scheme exhibition (i.e., mls) could have said fuck it, given our political vector, fifa will not consider the us as host until the year 2100, so let's try to win next year, and push a billion dollars to the middle of the table, buy up every us player in europe for 1 year on loan, and create two (2) TEAM USA sides that play in mls as 100% road teams during the year prior to the '94 tournament 80% of what would become the us roster were actually employed by the federation which gave bora the opportunity to instill his full-sam bunker 442 system and practice it on a daily basis the nasl created a Team America in 1983 but it finished 10-20 in last place and never had the opportunity to fulfill it's purpose, i.e. create a competitive nats side to compete for '86 qualification the precedent was there, but at the end of the day, the entire soccer establi$hment in the us is only interested in profiting from their exhibition attended and supported by customers with no understanding of the international soccer economy +++ The U.S. men’s national team has fallen to 48th in the world in the Elo ratings—its lowest position of the 21st century. The Elo system, adapted from chess, is widely regarded as a more accurate measure of a team’s strength (see how it’s calculated here) than Fifa’s official ranking, which currently places the USMNT 15th. See Fifa’s rankings here. Mauricio Pochettino took charge with the USMNT ranked 37th in Elo. After 17 matches, his side has not beaten a team ranked above them, slipping to 45th after a 4-0 defeat to Switzerland in June. Saturday’s 2-0 loss to South Korea dropped them to their new modern-era low. Historically, the USMNT climbed to 15th in Elo after beating Portugal at the 2002 World Cup and reached 12th following a 2005 qualifier win over Mexico. Their peak came after defeating Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup, when they rose to 11th, briefly jumping to 9th later that summer.
  11. he probably already has them or something similar he just has to make the fucking call wtf? no onside?
  12. i hope sark is watching
  13. .... and i doubt we will be able to do it this week to make the standard more achievable let's take defensive flags out of the requirement - committing fouls on defense are sometimes necessary and often accidental there is no excuse for false starts in year 5, home or away also zero penalties on special teams - if we are going for the block DO NOT FUCKING DRAW A FLAG - why just not even risk it and concentrate on getting some return action
  14. dude that's a damn fine looking smoke ring on an expensive cut
  15. we got a b1 for a california state school? they only have so many hours remaining before they are retired for the raider
  16. @Beau Vine is a co-conspirator in the harmon fabrication
  17. the aggy herd goes 2 ways: they generate guaranteed clicks and views or they bitch in unison en masse in numbers unheard of for any other fanbase i recall 10 or 15 years ago there was a tv broadcast controversy where aggy were slighted by a prior game running over and dallas and houston stations did not cut over to aggy and it resulted in 350000 yes let me spell that out - three hundred and fifty thousand - complaints the media has learned: pretend aggy are normal and feed their delusion of relevance and avoid advertiser angry letters about bad pub generated by telling aggy truth regarding traditions..... for their first 12 years in the sec, before aggy home games, the ministry talking points on dogs, milkmen and the e.king gill fabricated fantasy, which were handed over in broadcast team production meetings the day before the broadcast, were mindlessly parroted by the announcers, and aggy were happy when we joined last year, the mindless parroting stopped
  18. he has to win 1 of their next 2 at redstick or at miami he's gone if they don't, with a bye week to re-calibrate before we come to town we could very well be facing an interim coach in his 1st game and a wounded animal foaming at the mouth in a road league night game
  19. sark called a jumbo play NOT off tackle
  20. congratulations to @Al_4_ISU on an assico win clones should be the rig favorites now the fighting danny whites (az state) looked bad in starkville those with playoff aspirations must not lose to klan aggy is a secret committee variable your schedule looks entirely manageable with off weeks either side of your make-or-break stretch you have the brethren and asu at home before what looks to be the trickiest game in fort worth
