  1. THJ is fine. He will win us games when he gets hot. But hopefully we don’t have to be nearly as reliant on him every night. Lively is a breath of fresh air even though he’s going to have some nights where he struggles. It’s nice to see a center who might actually challenge Luka for the team lead in rebounds. Overall, good first night. Defense is still atrocious.

    Fabian Johnson absolutely would make the current roster and probably be a better RB option than anyone we have. Jermaine Jones would also be on the roster and probably a starter depending on what hypothetical formation that team would play.

    The 2014 team was way more experienced and the current team would have no answer for Dempsey--he would be the best player on the field. Pretty sure the current backline would be shredded by the 2014 group. That being said, this current group has a higher ceiling going into 2026. A more apt comparison will be the 2026 vs 2014 team.
  4. Re-signed Josh Green to a pretty good deal.
  5. Same here. I will also be following on gamecast tomorrow
  6. Marcus....bro...
  7. I don't care about his regular season stats at this point. Swing slower isn't the right term, but shortening up your swing can certainly help you make better contact and have a better chance to get on base than what he's doing right now. He's "swinging fast" but missing every time--which is why he's popping up so much.
  8. I've been watching the series but not posting. I just don't understand Semien's approach at this point. You've been terrible all playoffs and you are the lead-off hitter. Stop trying to hit the shit out of the ball. His slump has made it way easier to pitch to Seager because there's never anybody on base.
  9. Yea now tell us the game 2 ratings since MLB thinks it’s a good idea to have a 3:30 first pitch.
  10. The first 3 games you listed are definitely going to be much tougher than a lot of people are thinking—certainly a chance to lose those. I still think winning at Ames is going to be really hard to do because ISU is not the team we watched in nonconference. I’m not concerned about the last two you listed.
  11. This is where I'm at as well. 10-2 was my expectation coming into the year and I don't think I've seen anything that changes my mind on that. Had we beat OU, 11-1 was very much my expectation, but I fully expect a WTF loss and the fanbase, including myself, is going to be pissed. But taking a step back, 10-2 in year 3 is a great trajectory and hopefully a chance at the conference title on the way out.
  12. So I'm a totally novice, but I did decide to at least watch some extended ISU-OU highlights. I wouldn't be surprised if OU scores more points on us than Bama. Their O-line is fine, not great, but fine, and I think Garbriel suits the system very well. I think they hit us on 2 or 3 big plays that are going to feel like a gut punch. Their D-line looked pretty pedestrian to me. That means they are going to have to blitz to get pressure and I think we beat the blitz by running it straight up their ass. I would be shocked if we didn't out-rush them this game. I think we're going to be uncomfortable for most of the game and then we score a TD to go up 10 in the 4th . 38-28 final. OU sucks.
  13. Tried to login and see the end and it wouldn’t work for me.
  14. I caught the stream of this in the 4th quarter. Did the WR fumble it out of the end zone? It looked like he fumbled it out of bounds but the angle was tough for me to see. Trinity apparently had 0 points at halftime. Crazy 2nd half.
  15. We’ll worry about Wyoming tomorrow. Enjoy this shit. This doesn’t happen often.

    Leao is such a good teammate for Pulisic to have. Takes so much of the defensive attention away and allows Pulisic to get in good spots to just drive at defenses—and that’s when he’s at his best. If they can stay healthy, they are going to have a great season.
  18. The Javale McGee era mercifully comes to an end.
  19. This. And Rodman can’t fucking pass either.

    Can this please be the end of Long, Miazga, Roldan, and Morris? All of them were on the field in one of our worst moments since 2018.

    That’s the most Canada goal I’ve ever seen. They’ve had a big bag of nothing all half and then get one of the most fortunate penalties of the tournament.
  22. I’ve come around on the Williams fit. His 3 pt % in Boston was good and he’s about to get even better looks. agreed that they’re improved, but they are still missing a big and a wing. I would be shocked if THJ begins the season on the roster. Still withholding judgment on the roster until the season starts.

    My understanding is salaries in Serie A are listed post tax. Still a pay cut but slightly exaggerated.
  24. Im just not a huge fan of GW, granted, I didn’t watch a ton of Celtics this year. Are we considering this a massive upgrade?
