I read yesterday that “a minor tweak” had been added to Kelly’s contract going forward. Anyone have better info than that snippet? I saw it referenced by Brian Davis in a tweet. 

Read the article in the Statesman,  can't locate it at this time.

Kelly, Elliott, and Naviar's contracts were amended for benefits like dealer vehicle use and other areas.   Not anything performance related.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a bunch of nothing. 

The audio for this game is awful. Gonna have to mute this SEC homer

edit: sounds like they fixed the audio, but I'll probably still mute him

Good start!

That’s that then. Barely made it in and lose in round 1. All those recruits in the #10 class must see something we don’t. 

aggy is definitely playing like a team that's a league ahead of ours. Feels like aggy should be up by more than 2 goals with all the scoring opportunities they have created. 

 

aggy wins 4-1. Season over for Texas

 

 

 

 

The Angela Kelly NCAA tournament at Texas profile:

2012: Did not make tournament

2013: Did not make tournament

2014: 2nd round

2015: Did not make tournament

2016: Did not make tournament

2017: 3rd round!!

2018: 1st round

2019: 1st round

 

 

In 8 seasons at Texas, Kelly has won 3 NCAA tournament games. Sounds bad, but then again we just gave her a 3 year extension so maybe I'm wrong and this is acceptable for Texas soccer. ugh

8 seasons too many.

This is huge, assuming she is as quality as her resume implies

First and only home spring match, perfect weather. Austin Anthem band out here, close to outnumbering fans. Hope they’re getting paid.

Coronavirus concerns kept the fans home

Everything remains the same. Tons of great looking athletes who struggle to play at a high level as a team on the field. 4-1 currently vs some Monterrey univ. 

Can't believe we're about to go into year 9 of the Kelly tenure and she only has 3 wins at the NCAA tournament. Admin doesn't care about soccer results

Schedule only spring home on a high schoosol game night. Smart, Texas, real smart.

Disclaimer:  I have zero interest in the women’s soccer team aside from hoping anyone representing UT does well.  Came across this article in the DMN today and enjoyed it.  Here’s hoping these two ladies make it to campus.

Missimo is definitely good enough to go pro but I don't see it happening. The max salary in the NSWL is 50k and minimum salary is 20k. Maybe there is more money to be made overseas. 

I think the only real shot at money for Missimo is endorsements/sponsorships but the way the NCAA is trending seems like she could get those same type deals in college. I'm also not sure she could pull the type endorsements that a player like Pugh was getting. Pugh had a lot of exposure because she was playing with the USWNT at  17 years old. 

Either way, I hope we see Missimo at Texas. She's a special talent. I grew up playing club soccer and I've had several friends tell me she's the best youth player they've seen.

If you have any young girls that like soccer in your life you should strongly consider taking them to a home game. Great setting for a game and we have a ton of talent, just don't care about score or coaching. Kelly reminds me a Shaka, very similar coaching styles IMO.

I have a niece who is getting to the age where that would be a fun day, and if I still lived in Austin I absolutely would take her.  One of her aunts who played for UT and still lives in Austin will almost certainly beat me to the punch on that one though.

Just a heads up. Missimo is reclassifying to the '20 class. 

We should know soon if she's going pro or coming to Texas.

It's Texas all the way and the team needs this level of a player, if they use her.

We pass around the midfield way too often.

Guess this pushes Berg out of AM?

We still don't have a true DM between Berg, Grosso, Missimo, and Stroup (she may be done). Allen can play DM though, if she can develop the mindset for it.

They may put Bluemel in a defensive midfield role. I guess it depends on if they have options at center back. 

IMO our biggest weakness last year was lack of technical ability out of the back. When Texas could get the ball to attacking players they were dangerous. I hope we are looking for more technical players out of  the back. Somebody like Mshana was an absolute workhorse out of the back but the lack of technical ability killed us at times because of our inability to possess the ball. 

One of Berg, Grosso or Missimo would play up top. My guess is Berg. 

I really like what we have in the midfield, forward, and at goalkeeper. Probably the most talented roster we've had at those positions under Kelly. 

The big question is defense (FB and CB). The only proven player there is Regan. There is a lot of talent coming in at those positions with Lapomarda, Pace, Samanani, and Bluemel. Lapomarda and Pace were both high 4 stars in recruiting. 

They probably need to put one of these technical midfielders/forwards at center back.

Our first 3 games of the season have either been postponed or cancelled. Our new proposed season opener is against Rice on August 30th. Subject to change of course

The 2020 schedule on texassports.com has been taken down. I bet we're days away from just cancelling the season due to no NCAA tournament this season. Perhaps we could play some scrimmages so they get to play and won't count against eligibility?

Brooks made the advertisement. Good for her!

 

My kid had occasion to scrimmage against 2021 commit Byars this week. Byars is something else, if we can get her on campus which seems unlikely as each day passes.

Opening game tonight.  If the weather holds, we might head down there.  Hook'em!

Kansas wins 1-0 after a goal in the 82nd minute. A good number of fans actually showed up to watch the horns, but Texas couldn't convert their opportunities. Typical Angela Kelly soccer

Starting off shit as usual 

Finally watched the game. I don't know how Kelly has managed to kill all the offensive skill on this team but congrats to her, inguess

Could we update thread to 2020-2021 @immamac ??
