Texas is going to be insanely good in central midfield next year with Grosso and Stroup. 

Stroup is really good at finding pockets of space in the midfield. Dollas is a perfect fit in that defensive central midfield role but Stroup and Grosso are just different level players from a technical perspective.

2 home games to get acclimated with the team again (Kansas team weekend) before @ Tech.  Then we can make a conference tournament run with our full team.  If we can finish 6-2-1 we would probably finish 3rd

The Big 12 tournament is going to be a bloodbath. The two bottom feeders will stay at home (ISU and K-State) which means 7/8 teams in the Big 12 tournament are currently being projected as NCAA tournament teams. OU isn't bad either. 

All 8 teams could win the Big 12 tournament and we will likely be playing a round of 32 quality opponent in the quarterfinals.

Just got home from the game with fam. In the stands it felt like ku controlled the game but we were able to finish and they could not. It was beautiful soccer weather. Kids had a great time. Hook'em!

Up to #9 in RPI. Kind of sucks we were without the Canadians for so long because we would definitely be challenging for a 1 seed. 

1-1 tie with OK State, 2-1 loss to WV, and 1-0 loss to TCU without the Canadians. We probably get some type of result in at least 1 of those matches if not 2 with Grosso/Regan. Just one of those results in the TCU/WV match would probably have us top 5 in RPI.

Granted we didn’t have the strongest conference home schedule (Tech, WV, OSU and TCU on the road) and LBSU was our toughest nonconf foe but still

Grosso would be the leading goal scorer on the team if they played her at forward or in a more attacking midfield position. 

But we have plenty of goal scoring threats. The key is finding central midfielders that can maintain possession and link up with the forwards out of the midfield instead of playing kick ball. Which is why Grosso is probably the most important player on the team. She’s the engine that makes the entire machine run.

How does the team work when half of it goes off to play for Canada next year?

FIFA World Cup is in the summer and ends in July. CONCACAF qualifying for Tokyo is in February 2020.

I seem to recall a little East Coast road trip early in the season...

Only thing that  interferes with Texas is the world cup qualifying which only happens every 4 years. If they play in the World Cup that's in the summer before the Texas season starts.

They're allowing tech to get away with a ton of fouls tonight. This turf sucks. Our back 3 on defense scare the heck out of me. Adams is having a rough night. Lubbock sucks.

TT is one bush league team. It's on this ref for not calling these fouls early, now its out of hand. That is 3 fouls that can cause serious injury and only 1 yellow.
