  1. Arizona says hold my empty beer bottle (the beer evaporated upon opening) it’s a dry heat

    USMNT 2023

    That was what I thought. A friend and I were talking about the game, and he laughed that the chant went back as far as he could remember. The kids grew up learning that’s what you do on a goal kick. And he was raised in San Diego. My guess is that the organizers, media, and FIFA don’t want to do anything to jeopardize the cash generated by the Mexico team’s fans
  3. If Cal Berkeley & Stanford have any pull at all, there’s no way the bolded schools get in the PAC. For Cal to be lumped in with the Cal State schools will piss off the elites to no end. The Fresnecks have had some success in football (at least in the Pat Hill era), but Fullerton is a commuter school with no football program and some success at baseball.

    I know I’ll get roasted for this, but having grown up in L.A. and attending numerous soccer games from the 80’s - 2000’s, this behavior is par for the course. I don’t claim to know how it is in other areas, but anytime a Mexican team played it was ummm an experience. We knew to sit up high and not cheer any action. I’ve seen fights, you-name-the-object being hurled, live fireworks tossed into opposing teams sections, and God help you if Americas played Chivas. As bad as it was then, it appears to have gotten way out of hand. Weren’t they on like double-secret probation by FIFA or CONCACAF?
  5. As we say around here, it weeds out the weak lol
  6. Does he have any more kids in the pipeline? If so, he will coach long enough to showcase them and get them to the League.
  7. Man, there is a lot of thought and discussion about a guy who really hasn’t proven himself at the major college level. He won some games against HBCU- level schools, but now he is getting attention just because he’s a self-absorbed huckster? If he proves he’s worth the hype (and not just because they sell tickets), then cool. Otherwise, I have no time for this circus.
  8. Wait, what? Pete Thamel actually had a reputation? That’s need to anyone with functioning brain cells
  9. Wow, if adding SUDS-U is the PAC’s big move, they have joined the parrot in shuffling off this mortal coil… they are an ex-conference. Is the PAC going to bring in a Directional State School as a travel partner? For all intents and purposes (or intensive porpoises), they are looking to add a program which trades losses with the likes of Nevada, UNLV, New Mexico & Fresneck State. Yes they have some success against major programs, mainly due to the fact they are a trap game. Moving to what used to be a major conference means they won’t have one game a year they can circle on their calendar. Of course, considering what’s left in the PAC, they may finish mid-pack or higher depending on who bails. tldr:/ Someone call Time if Death on the PAC
  10. What a cluster fuck
  11. It’s 2023, You have to explore the vertical synergies created by NIL and Booster Collectives… “come play for us and we’ll provide an Amazon Prime account or Apple TV+”. /sarcasm
  12. ASU acceptance rate: 88% To be admitted to ASU, you will need one of the following:top 25% in high school graduating class. 3.00 GPA in competency courses (4.00 = "A") ACT: 22 (24 nonresidents) SAT: 1120 (1180 nonresidents) Suprisingly, UA has an 87% acceptance rate.
  13. Da Utes are riding a couple of successful years with little serious competition in the conference. They are basically a poor man’s Oregon. A good friend is an alum and even he admits the fan base only started paying attention recently. When Whittingham retires, that will be the test to see if they can backup the gum flapping. If they had half a brain, they would jump on the Big12’s offer before the phone stopped ringing. The same with ASU, OSU & Wazzu. As rapidly as the PAC is disintegrating, there are going to be several schools out in the cold, since there is no leverage. The one advantage ASU has is that the state of Arizona will force UA to take little brother with them (see what happened when the PAC expanded). Wazzu and OSU bring nothing to the table. Oregon & Washington are the only value-added schools, and they will have to agree to a lesser payout. Cal & Stanford, who the hell knows what they are thinking.
  14. Cuz has Crip origins… just sayin’
  15. There is absolutely NO justification for pointing a fireable firearm in the direction of bystanders, period. Having your fingers anywhere near the hammer/trigger is beyond stupid. I don’t care how “experienced” you are or if you’ve been around guns all your life, muzzle me and there are going to be problems. If they wanted to check camera angles for the shot, then use a blue gun. Hollywood procedures be damned, if someone hands you a firearm which you fail to clear/check and you cause it to fire, you are responsible. I’ve had a training instructor bounce students for failing to make sure the gun was clear or flagging others. And that was after he handed you the gun AFTER he cleared it. So-called experts are usually the worst about getting lazy with basic safety, and crap like this happens. Bottom line he is responsible, along with the armorer, and honestly, the cinematographer who was shot was at fault as well for allowing a firearm to be pointed at her without making sure it was clear by physical inspection not “it’s cold”
  16. RIP Charlie… Fight On ✌️
  17. Reboot 3 times man
  18. Hey…Speaking as a 30+ year IT guy… yeah you’re right, carry on
  19. While not wrong, who’s dumb ass couldn’t get the 1 yard on 4th down in the Rose Bowl Lendale? Trying to keep himself relevant lately, must have run out of weed money.
  20. I’m sure they’ve begun the wailing and gnashing of teeth over there, I avoid those boards at all costs. There’s a very real chance that this is his ceiling. Since he’s only had 1 HC gig for a short tenure, I personally can’t establish a pattern… yet. I can say there is a very clear trend that “Air Raid” teams only pay a passing nod to defense. That’s the dirty un-sexy part of the game…as long as we can score 60 we can win. So we’ll see if that continues. Like I said earlier, the days of shut down defenses may be long gone for most teams. The ones that do field a tough physical defense will win championships.
  21. Shitastic ending to the season, but not unexpected considering the defense that we had last year. Swiss cheese had less holes in it. I’m wondering if the college game has reached the point where scoring 40-some points isn’t enough anymore? I realize I’m old, but considering the way the game has slanted towards offense exclusively given the hurry-up offense, blatant holding on every play, penalizing the defense for hands to the face, yet offensive players can “stiff arm” to the face, etc.. Looking at some of the games this weekend, 40 points would have been a losing effort. Maybe the best we can hope for is a random stop every half and try to outscore the opponent? Anyways, good luck next year, fuck aggy, ou sucks
  22. Autocorrect??
  23. You and everyone else on the schedule
  24. I wonder how much this adds to ucla’s ransom money
