Next two matches are huge at home against WV and Oklahoma State. Get a win and maybe a draw out of those two and you have a very good shot to win the Big 12.

Yeah our toughest matches may be those 2 + Tech. Tech is 18, OSU 25. WV is receiving votes (1 actually) 

We are 64 in RPI. TCU is 50, WV is 58 and OSU is 33

[texasstrong12 4668]

There isn't much separating the teams in the Big 12. Outside of Iowa State and Kansas State any team can win on any given night. 

Kelly might have found something with Peyton McGee. They have her playing a holding/defending central midfield role. She's not very athletic but she can keep possession and doesn't just blast it forward when she touches it. 

If they could find somebody in the middle to keep possession and link up with our attacking players it would make a huge difference.

WV had to play Baylor tonight and that is not an easy team to play. They're physical and make you run all over the field. WV shouldn't be fresh on Sunday but I wish we had Grosso. 

We were like 160 in RPI just last week because of our shit start in nonconference. Beat WV and we should be in the 40s.

WVU beats us at home in Overtime. Back to our old ways

[ClubWhatever 12144]

With a shaky goal keep you have to put that corner kick in the box.  Dumb play. 

[Js1 85338]

Big game to stay in the title race of the Big 12 tonight between Texas And OK State. Thank goodness Grosso is back. 

Tech 3-0-1

Texas 3-1-0

OSU 2-1-1

[perfectchaos007 6642]

OKST wins 2-0. Are we going to have to win the big 12 tournament to get an NCAA bid?

[Goodman 3273]

This season is a real disappointment, hard for me not to blame Kelly.

Appears so 

[smwhorn 482]

We need a new soccer coach.

 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Hey we got a good road win against Baylor today 2-1. 

[pacman 7355]

With Brooks making the rare move from defender to forward..1 goal and assist

 

Interesting, outside the box thinking from Kelly

Brooks played offense, and defense with a lead, on her high school team, did very well there.

Last night's ISU match got rained out, so we are going for this morning!

Texas still firmly in the hunt for the #2 or #3 seed in the Big 12 tournament.  If OSU collapses, Texas is also in the hunt for the Big 12 title, though it would require OSU to lose out and Texas to win out.  

OSU 5-1-1
TCU 4-2-1
Texas 4-2
Texas Tech 3-1-2
Kansas 3-2-2
WV 3-3-1
OU 3-3-1
Baylor 3-3
KSU 1-6
ISU 0-6

We should wallop ISU and should handle OU.  If we can win the Tech match on Sunday and finish 7-2 in conference, that would be really good.  

OSU still has OU at home and Baylor at home
TCU has KSU, KU and @ WV

Edited October 25, 2019 by Js1

[Js1 85338]

Texas wins 3-2. Goals by Grosso, Mack and Berg. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

It's going to suck if we lose the Big 12 because Grosso missed the WV game. That was a very winnable game if we had Grosso and that would have us in the drivers seat. 

Still in 2nd with a chance but we need another draw or loss for Oklahoma State.

Brooks was awful at fullback so glad they could find her a spot somewhere. She had no feel defensively. 

[Js1 85338]

Kelly’s final minute strategery sucks. 89th min header ties it at 1. 1 min and 16 seconds from a huge win.

Edited October 27, 2019 by Js1

[Js1 85338]

And we lose 2-1 

btw Tech actually scored all 3 goals as our only goal was a Tech own goal

fucking pathetic choke joke with 1:16 left 

[ClubWhatever 12144]

 It looked like we got dead legs with about 5 mins to go in regulation.  We are a slowwww team to begin with.  We were lucky to be up at all with as many runs they got on goal from midfield.  That has been an issue all year.

[pacman 7355]

Another ho hum year where we fail to take even a small step forward. We are running in mud.

[Js1 85338]

Texas 3-2 (2OT)

[Js1 85338]

 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Still gotta win the tournament to get an NCAA bit I assume. All those shitty non conference losses smh

46th in RPI

If TCU sneaks into the top 50 - assuming a win - and we can beat 2 seed Tech, MAYBE we sneak in as the last at-large?  If we had that Tech win we blew with 90 seconds left, I think we might already be in. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

We kick off against TCU in about an hour on ESPN+. Hopefully it isn't the last game of our season

[Js1 85338]

This is bad 

 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

0-0 at halftime. TCU had more good scoring opportunities than us so we are fortunate to be tied

[perfectchaos007 6642]

0-0 after regulation

in the 2nd half, TCU had 2 shots off the crossbar, and Texas had 1 shot off the crossbar

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Scoreless after 110 minutes. Going to PKs

[perfectchaos007 6642]

TCU wins it on PK's. We probably miss the tournament now

[Js1 85338]

Season over. Turn off the lights. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

7 painstaking years of Angela Kelly. Time for CDC to be the AD he was expected to be when he was hired, and make the necessary change

[pacman 7355]

Tough decision for sure. Field performance is clear but..

She has the top recruiting class, at least top 3, in the nation coming in 2021. The two stars aren't likely to come here without her.

[perfectchaos007 6642]

The best recruits in the country wont serve you well if they aren’t coached properly

They just extended her a few months back, she'll be back barking orders and underachieving. 

[Js1 85338]

Our miserable years continues - only 1 player on the first team (Grosso), 3 on the second team (Regan, Berg, Hintzen) and 1 on the freshman team (Nobles). 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Not that it matters, but when is the selection show?

[Js1 85338]

HAHAHAH

Holy shit. We made it.

We are paired up with A&M (13-4-3) in College Station.  Winner (not us) faces winner of #2 SC and CSF.

We have the talent to do it. If Kelly gives us this win, I'll feel better about her continuing to run it into the ground.

Right?  The only thing I see out of this is a first round exit, to a rival, AND more equity that she can use to remain an average coach at UT.

[pantone159 719]

I see it as a chance to get another win at College Station, which would be entirely delicious. Even though they should be the better team, maybe we can get it together.

[perfectchaos007 6642]

We must have been the last at-large

[pacman 7355]

I don't know how we stop the speed of ally watt but anything is possible.

[Js1 85338]

Are we healthy for this match?  We did not have Grosso, Allen or Mack in the Big 12 tournament.  

If all 3 are back, then yes, I feel okay.  

[Js1 85338]

 

[closetojumping 62729]

I read yesterday that “a minor tweak” had been added to Kelly’s contract going forward. Anyone have better info than that snippet? I saw it referenced by Brian Davis in a tweet.

I hope it's the "Win or GTFO" clause.
