  1. Texas certainly loves to compare itself to UM at every opportunity.
  2. Columbus signed Kevin Molino (13 goals for Minnesota last season). They will remain in the top tier of teams.

    Union sold 21 year old CB Mark McKenzie to Genk for $6 million. The Euro demand for US talent is only going to accelerate. If USL developed fully funded academies, the US could be a permanent fixture in the Top 15.

    Every option should be on the table at this point. Are we really going to play a 4-3-3 in the World Cup? Seems like we need more protection for our CBs against good teams than a 4-2-3-1 would provide. Put Adams and McKennie behind Reyna, Pulisic and Weah wide and someone with a pulse at the 9.

    The collective wisdom of surly is irrelevant to Berhalter. Weah now plays on the wing for Lille where he is far more effective. Sargent has scored 1 league goal this season and 3 since October 2019. He has had more yellow cards than goals during that period. CF is completely up for grabs on this team.

    Jozy isn't there just to make numbers. Berhalter is trying to find the ST for this team and has no idea who it is.
  7. Yeah. He isn't going to violate that non-disparagement and jeopardize his $15 million.
  8. Certainly a less precarious existence than firing every coach since Royal for sucking ass.
  9. The ex-deadspin guys represent the largest collection of self-loathing pussies in the history of sports media.
  10. A list including only former professional wrestlers 50-75 would be difficult to beat, assuming that 10 are still living.
  11. She was willing to overlook his insanity for his money and he was willing to overlook her insanity for her assets.
  12. aggy will never make the playoff without winning the SEC championship. Outside of Texas, they are no more relevant than Ole Miss or South Carolina. No second tier program like aggy has ever made the playoff without winning their conference championship. It's that simple.
  13. A majority of Americans have an IQ of less than 100 and almost all Americans were educated in our laughably poor public school system. The average voter possesses limited intellectual capacity and received a pathetic education. These realities won't change during our lifetimes so I recommend acceptance. Democracy is an aspirational concept that ignores the unrelenting mediocrity of humanity. Just an elaborate game played by groups of self-serving politically engaged elites to determine who can best manipulate the masses into pushing a button. That said, I'm not convinced that blindly pushing a button based on tribal allegiance is any more stupid than spending thousands of hours on this board smelling one's farts and changing zero minds.
  14. Our players listen to Beyonce and Cardi B
  15. I don't know. I can't recall a Texas football coach who was more reviled by the fanbase than Herman currently is. The opening of the SEZ is going to be quite a dud
  16. There is no reason to invest much time or money in Texas football until at least 2025. It's done
  17. Happy I subscribed to Dave's Picks for 2021. DP 37 is 4/15/78 from the awesome 1978 spring college tour (William & Mary) DP 38 is complete 9/8/73 with two hours of 9/7/73 WOWZA

    Haha. Those days should be over

    FAs are eligible for selection but Austin would have to negotiate a new deal with them just like any other team. He's out of contract. Austin would be permitted to offer him more money than Minnesota. That is the only advantage which is why no one uses expansion picks on free agents.

    Austin FC

    No. He is a free agent.
  21. Don’t forget about him falsely accusing his victim of using a racial slur to justify the assault. Great photo op in Tanzania though

    Trapp is a free agent and is supposedly going to sign with Minnesota.
  23. The biggest mistake made with Turtle was the extension that CDC is now trying to distance himself from through his minions in the Texas media. That extension more than justifies the immediate termination of CDC.
  24. The Crew doesn't attract much support from outside Columbus beyond soccer diehards from the region who had no other MLS options for decades until FC Cincy. They have a strong and relatively large hardcore support but have struggled (like much of MLS) to sustain the casuals needed for a small market to consistently draw near capacity crowds. The new ownership and club leadership (combining Caleb Porter with the Toronto FC management was a masterstroke) have positioned the Crew as well as possible for the move into the new stadium which is a massive upgrade over Crew Stadium in every respect (decaying and ignored erector set adjacent to the ghetto -> state of the art downtown stadium adjacent to entertainment districts). No one would have believed in October 2017 that the Crew would be moving into a new stadium (in the exact location Crew diehards wanted) in 2021 as MLS champions.
