  1. 2011 1st round exit (0-3 loss as 4 seed to unseeded opposition) 2010 Did not make tournament 2009 Did not make tournament 2008 1st round exit (0-2 loss to UNC-Charlotte) Her extension in 2019 was a worse decision than the Herman extension. Arguably CDC's worst decision at Texas
  2. I must have missed the new coach announcement

    USMNT 2021

    Funny that Ream was selected to the squad to serve as Reyna's handler
  4. The U.S. and the world at large would significantly benefit if we increased abortion levels tenfold.
  5. Almost all national politicians (with a few exceptions like Ron Paul, Barbara Lee and Bernie) love war. Supporting endless war is our most notable source of bipartisanship.
  6. Sounds like Andreas Pereira (United's version of Kenedy) is also on his way to Flamengo on loan
  7. The Afghanistan conflict (and the Iraq wars for that matter) achieved exactly what they were intended to. Preserving and enriching the military-industrial complex beyond its wildest dreams. It was a stunning success for those traitors who are now either worm food or relaxing in their beachfront compound in Naples while the world burns. You have to wonder where we would be today without hanging chads. Meanwhile, W is now almost celebrated by corporate media as a goofy amateur painter who sneaks candy to his buddy Michelle O at events involving the past Presidents.

    EPL 2021-22

    Their status as a clear favorite is somewhat predicated on Kane joining. He solves all of their issues and no one can match their strength in depth. Injuries and fatigue are coming for everyone and they are best equipped to manage through those issues. Also no AFCON exposure and limited CONMEBOL quarantine concerns. Title race may be on if they have to play a false 9 all season. That said, they ran away with the league last season while scoring the most goals despite Aguero only playing in 12 games and scoring 4 goals.

    Sure. Kane scored as many goals in his second least prolific EPL season as Lukaku did in his second most prolific EPL season.

    Pretty much this. The player pool needs to be expanded significantly ASAP or the next world cup could be ugly for the USWNT.

    Yeah. Chelsea isn't making up 19 points on a team that adds Grealish and Kane.

    I noticed that. City is a big favorite to repeat. If Kane goes to City, it's over before it begins. If he doesn't, there could be a multiteam title race although Chelsea is best equipped to challenge. Lukaku's problem at United was poor service and that won't be a problem at Chelsea if Tuchel plays the right forwards. Liverpool is getting long in the tooth and this is also an AFCON season. United isn't winning a title without a new DM and that appears to be unlikely. Agree that the top-4 should remain the same as last year unless someone gets hit with major injuries. On paper, there is a significant gulf between the Top 4 and the rest.
  14. Wrong. WTB is a better Deadhead and Phan than you. He will inform you of this in due course.
  15. Beijing 2022 should be a ratings disaster.
  16. 1980 and I think a Longhorn had won gold in every Olympics since then

    USMNT 2021

    I'm more than familiar with Jozy's work. Young American striker with middling finishing ability moving to a bottom quarter EPL team that just sold its best creator doesn't strike me as a recipe for success.

    Has Jozy to Sunderland written all over it.
  19. Awful doc that worked backwards from its desired conclusions without even a hint of subtlety. No mystery why mainstream rock music died given how unbelievably shitty the genre had become.

    USWNT 2021

    Well they won the bronze but the result really raised more questions than it answered. Sauerbrunn (the team's best defender), Lloyd and Rapinoe (the team's best finishers) have played their last major tournament. O'Hara and Heath should also be done at the international level, although they will try to hang on. Naeher is 33 but may be able to make it through another cycle. In any event, the back 4 needs to be completely rebuilt outside of Dunn. O'Hara, Davidson and Dahlkemper were all shit this tournament and the backup GK is not international quality. The MF should be OK for the next cycle with Horan, Lavelle, Mewis and Ertz young enough to continue playing at a high level. The forwards also need revamped with Heath, Rapinoe, Lloyd and Morgan all well past their prime. They really need to move on from Vlatko and bring in a killer who will dig through the pool for solutions. This was a golden generation but it is over.
  21. Imagine thinking that twitter followers relates in any way to the outcome of an election in OH-11, which isn't exactly a demographic paradise for Twitter socialists. Hillary defeated Bernie there in 2016 by more than 2-1. The headlines regarding Brown "edging" Turner 50-44 are also high comedy.
  22. New EPL diving record incoming for City.
