  1. Well I didn’t want my rep whoring to be TOO obvious.
  2. Early July straw poll Over/under final class rank: 5.5 Pos rep this post if you think under (i.e., top 5 class). Neg if you think over (i.e., 6th or worse). Can’t rep my own post but for the record I’ll take the under.
  3. On a rational level, you're probably right. The Brocks looked at a program in disarray and made a defensible business decision. But on an emotional level, I've always felt like the anger directed toward them was exactly because they chose to kick us when we were really, really down. Really down. And they did it with a smile on their face. Every single person here knows that we'll survive without Jalen Lott. It did not feel that way at the time with the Brocks. In summary: fuck them.
  4. He does photoshops for free so recruits tell him a lot of stuff. Really seems like AI will/should put him out of business in pretty short order, though.
  5. Yeah Martin loaded them up then they brought in Milner. He threw ball 4 on a full count. Walking off the field like a chump after you walk in the winning run has got to be one more humiliating feelings in sports, as it should be.
  6. Seems like Fong has been consistently bullish on Texas this cycle.
  7. Trump and Infantino/FIFA were absolutely made for each other.
  8. lol wtf is a 96 mph changeup
  9. Yeah as I was typing it out I was thinking to myself, "you know, this ain't half bad". The emergence of Tillman is a big positive. I'm a big Pepi fan as well. Having a choice between who is most in-form between him, Balo, Sargent, and Wright is a far cry from where we used to be at FW. I kind of like Downs as well and could see him developing this year into a guy that can give you a good spark off the bench next summer. Biggest issues IMO are finding a #1 GK, someone to pair with Richards at CB, and depth behind our top two FBs. MF is probably where we're best and deepest, but getting the right combination of guys on the field in the right formation will be key.
  10. So any post-tournament predictions on what the starting 11 looks like next summer if everyone is healthy? ----------Balogun------ ----Puli---Tillman---Weah---- -----Adams---McKennie----- Jedi--Richards--Ream--Dest -----------Schulte----------- Not sure on Ream, but Pochettino seems to trust him and the rest of the options are nothing special. Schulte is a wild guess.
  11. I can't fucking believe that some people need to be reminded of this, but 27+ dead CHILDREN didn't vote -- or not vote -- for a god damned thing.
  12. Agree with everything here except Aaronson. I'm not convinced that either Aaronson is good at anything other than running around a lot with minimal impact.
  13. What’s with the audio? Every contact sounds like a 500 ft home run? Did ESPN put mics in the catchers’ mitts?
  14. On the squad next year: Adams, Tillman, Luna, Richards I’m intrigued: Berhalter, McGlynn, Downs, Freese I could see it just because we don’t have anyone else: Ream, Agyemang GTFO: LDLT, Aaronsons, Turner, Arfsten, Freeman
  15. Obviously he’s on the squad and 99.9% starting, but I thought Adams had a pretty bad game and tournament.
  16. Pretty hard to say Mexico didn’t earn this. We never really threatened their goal much at all.
  17. Get ready for 10 minutes of Mexican dudes sitting on the ground
  18. Crazy that he and Freeman are the best we could come up with.
  19. I’d be alright with sitting back if we were trying to mount any sort of counter attacks. Instead we just clear the ball with no purpose. It’s time for midfielders not named Berhalter to join the game.
  20. Luna looks like the best dude playing down at your local park. He definitely stops at 7-11 on the way home from every game to grab a giant Tecate.
