Came home from vacation and Jamaica-US 2019 GC recording was on YTTV. Watched some and it would be nice to have Morris and Long for depth for WCQ's. Altidore was good in this game, Zardes was not. Nice to see Pulisic and McKennie making plays. Cannon was fine. Arriola was better than I remember.
Bradley looked better as a passer than anytime I've seen Yueill. Need Busio, Williamson and Acosta to move Yueill off the WCQ roster for the fall.
A tour operator told me they are only doing private snorkeling tours at $150/hour in 3-5 hour range (Caye Caulker). Has anyone heard anything different in recent days or weeks?
Slightly disagree on super deep with experience. Started a freshman forward. Sixth man was a soph (a phenominal soph). Top nine players were five junior/seniors, three sophs and one freshman. No argument that the team was poorly coached.
This years team will have seven of top eight players being a junior or senior.
1st Team: Allen, Mitchell
2nd Team: Jones
3rd Team: Ramey
Scholar/Athlete of the Year: Disu
It seems funny to say, but Texas has never had this quality of players with so much experience. Barnes teams always seemed to have a player(s) leave a year early while other programs like Kansas, UNC kept their players a year longer.
Senior guards: Ramey, Jones, Febres.
Sophomore guard: Askew
Senior forwards: Allen, Bishop
Junior forwards: Disu, Mitchell
Junior and Senior scrapper: Cunningham, Benson
Freshman wing: Tyson
The episode where Neal finds out his dad is cheating by biking around (eventually alone) testing the garage door remote on houses in different neighborhoods.
That shit hit home. Or the scene where the kid at school tells everyone about how your dad took his mom, his brother and him to the movies on a fucking Tuesday night. Oh wait, that was real life and not on the show.
Headed to Belize at end of this month with my two adult kids. They are scuba certified, but I'm not and prefer to snorkel. Where are the good spots or connections for snorkeling? We've done the day snorkel trips from Caye Caulker before where we swim with the lemon sharks and manta rays, but would like more reef action.
Placencia sounds like a good option. Any tips on staying there and things to do?
My son and I did the ATM Cave a couple of years ago, are there any other cave tours worth doing?
Appreciate any responses.
Mexico is going to lustily recruit dual eligibles that develop in the US system. And they have a successful professional and minor league system to plug them in to. They will be competitive, but with Canada's developing quality players and potential of Jamaica with more English developed players Mexico will not dominate Concacaf in the future.
US needs quality coaching equal or above Tata to dominate in the future.
Gregg comments that Reyna was still good, but had to take him off for Aaronson. Did it not occur to him to take off Llegett and put Reyna in midfield. Gregg appears to have bought in to the story of Acosta making good on a second chance and that seems to be the reason to play him. Fuck that. If is better then use that someone.
Two eysores from last night were Yueill and Llegett. What are the metrics on Yueill's forward passing ? If can't accomplish line-breaking passes then he needs to be off the field. Llegett's touch was slow and that made his decision making delayed. No need to comment on his free kicks as it was obviously bad.
US looked way too cocky with ball at their feet. Did they expect Honduras to just roll over? That attitude will be cured by facing Mexico.
So if Adams can't play the 6 because he's frequently hurt. McKennie doesn't have the positional discipline to play the 6. Musah has never played the 6. Yueill is a null and void player at the 6. Acosta at the 6 is a fantasy perpetuated by Gregg. Is it double pivot time?
Dest tried harder at defense this game. If Long and Richards weren't hurt, I'd go for a five in the back. We'll get Richards back, but Ream and Miazga as backups scare me.
Glad for the win, but the team looked like shit.
Stepbrother evicted his tenant. Moved in and then was shot and killed through the peephole three days later. And he was the good stepbrother.
Haiku version:
Stepbrother evicts
dumps possessions on front lawn
dies by peephole shot.
Paths of Glory followed by Breaker Morant tonight. Only complaint is PoG is non-streaming.
No one misses a slice off a cut loaf v. The Faithful Hussar.
I love them both.
I remember seeing bits of Real Life on PBS in early 80's and thinking it was a real documentary. Grodin was perfect in the movie as he was in many others.
My great aunt's father was Dutch Cota (Robert Mitchum) in the movie. She was a generous and classy lady. Her husband (my great uncle by blood) was an ass, but that shit is hereditary. This movie is not too long for me and is fantastic.

Fully agree here. Allen is going to be a Culver type and I'll take the Swede as a better fit as he reminds of Moretti. I hope that Larrson's late decision to join the portal is due to talking to Allen.
This sounds like the reasoning of a weak ass mayor in a broke ass town.
Well, no longer applies since the mayor has moved on and town is no longer broke.
But seriously...
I like where you are going with this. Who plays the Moretti role? Does Allen = Culver?
The Letter - Directed by William Wyler. Husband and wife are Herbert Marshall and Bette Davis set in Malaysia/Singapore. Wife cheats, wife lies, wife dies. The attorney stands out in this, but all the main actors do as well as the moon. Something seemed familiar when watching this.
Yes. Wyler directed Little Foxes with Marshall and Davis playing the husband and wife. Amazing film, well acted and a lovely story by Mrs. Dashiell Hammett.
Back to back years, 1940-1941.
