  1. Not long ago I had a conversation with an ex-USC OL lineman, Drew Richmond. He played at Tennessee before becoming a grad transfer at USC. I asked him what it was like playing against Alabama. He said there are two big things. One, they don't make a lot of mistakes, and that they're very well coached. And two, he says the #3 guy coming in is as good as the #1 guy.
  2. Michigan/Penn State glory years and current state.
  3. Pulisic is the most popular American player, but I believe this lady is the most exciting and most valuable player in American soccer. She dominates on the world stage.
  4. I appreciated his populist views. He went after the Pope and the Catholic church after a visit. "I went into the Vatican and saw that golden roof," Maradona said of his 2000 visit. "And I said to myself how could somebody be such a son of b---- as to live with a golden roof and then go to poor countries and kiss children with a full belly? I stopped believing." "I've been to the Vatican and seen the gold ceilings. And then I hear the pope saying that the church was concerned about poor kids. So? Sell the ceilings, mate!"
  5. This is like believing you have a shot at the hot chick at the bar, but when she leaves you end up leaving with the fat chick.
  6. Soccer was a huge part of my life in the late 70's and early 80's. It was the greatest era for professional soccer. I saw Beckenbauer, Cruyff and Pele (when he was with the Cosmos), but Maradona was the best. Unmatched skills and the ability to completely take over a game.
  7. I agree. I'm just going through a list of elite programs and where each might stand. It's obviously an elite program where you can win a title, but for someone like Urban, it doesn't offer as much as Texas.
  8. If Urban decides to coach again, there are probably only two schools that he'd seriously consider. Texas and USC. He'll want big resources and a major brand, although I don't believe the culture at USC is a good fit for him. He's already done Florida and Ohio State; OU and Alabama are not options; LSU is trashy and Baton Rouge is a hell hole; I wouldn't see him going to Michigan and facing his old program head to head. Texas has the resources, the brand and is better culturally aligned with Urban.
  9. Shocking considering LSU's high standards.
  10. From The Daily Show. Did I hear an echo in the room? loser.mp4
  11. I'm in the "no Lindsey, no Mac" crowd. That was the Fleetwood Mac I grew up with, and I just can't get around it.
  12. It's a team victory. Couldn't have made it through without you brilliant motherfuckers. Opening the good shit now in your honor.
  13. My son is in Washington. Streets are full and he says tons of people are in front of the White House.
  14. I can see "Don't be stupid as fuck" working its way into a campaign slogan next time around.
  15. Beer and BBQ? That's cool. I think where we may differ is on books, reliable news sources and logic.
