USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
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.

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.- July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
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.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
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.- Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
What’s with the audio? Every contact sounds like a 500 ft home run? Did ESPN put mics in the catchers’ mitts?- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
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- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Obviously he’s on the squad and 99.9% starting, but I thought Adams had a pretty bad game and tournament.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Tillman- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Very poor- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Pretty hard to say Mexico didn’t earn this. We never really threatened their goal much at all.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Get ready for 10 minutes of Mexican dudes sitting on the ground- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
So far so…bad- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Crazy that he and Freeman are the best we could come up with.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
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.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
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.- 2025 Thread of the Rains
So a couple things I've learned that I didn't know before are that 1) the river valleys in this particular part of Central Texas are among the most flood-prone in the country, and 2) they're full of quite a few kids' summer camps, many (most?) of which have been there for many decades, some up to 100 years. Those two facts in combination make it seem like the camps should be pretty well versed in flood risks. I'd expect quite a few near miss stories to be among the local lore. "Back in '88, the water came all the way up to the steps of the dining hall"...that type of thing.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Anyone else planning to go? Prices holding pretty steady so far - $150 for nosebleeds, $250+ for a decent seat. I'm still considering it but hoping they'll ease up some. Stadium is 10 minutes from my house.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I don't doubt y'all about the money. Particularly surprised to hear the Arkansas/Texas State cost comparison. That seems like the kind of thing Texas state leaders would want to take a look at, but that's just me I guess. That said, I've yet to meet any family with a kid itching to go to UAB, Louisiana, or Southern Miss, who I assume also offer a nice financial deal to bright Texan kids. Being in a dying conference with a nationally irrelevant football program will not be good for Tech as a university that exists to educate students, and I'm sure they're aware of that.- 2025 Thread of the Rains
Thanks. Didn't know about that site. I cannot wrap my head around people driving over those bridges like it's nothing as water and trees slam into it. What on the other side of that bridge is worth risking your life?- 2025 Thread of the Rains
"picture from yesterday"...Jesus Christ. Fucking horrific.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Underrated factor. My wife has a bunch of coworkers with high school aged kids in The Woodlands, etc. The ones that aren't going to UT or aggy all want to go to LSU, Bama, even Arkansas. It was eye-opening to me to learn that, but we hear it again and again. Are SEC football powerhouses offering a better education than Tech, Texas State, UTSA, etc? Of course not. The difference is big time sports and the associated campus life. My bet is that most Texas public universities are fairly concerned about their branding/perception right now.- Pixar's next movies: Elio
Finally saw it today. My kids loved it. I thought the shout outs to Carl Sagan were really cool. It’s…fine. I’d put it on par with Turning Red or something like that. It’s colorful, sweet, a little funny. I won’t remember anything about it next week.- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
