  1. As as recovering Nebraskaball fan I have hit rock bottom watching the first half. The defense is lackluster against a bad offensive team and we couldn’t score in a house of ill repute right now. Thought I would get the pessimistic panic attack out of the way earlier this year.
  2. Add Keisei and Gary and you’re at a 10 man rotation. I don’t think we’re going to play a 10 man rotation. Add those two and he’s not in the top 8. Minutes should be limited for Hoiberg and Rice. Both of them are ok players. We simply have 8 better players then those two and that’s a good thing.
  3. Rutgers loses to Princeton and Mich State is now tied with James Madison with 12 left
  4. autocorrect - I think Wood is testifying against Trump so I don’t think he qualifies as a trump supporter in or out of the closet.
  5. Linwood is basically UNK so good yes, but can’t get carried away
  6. Ya I knew that but to me there’s a huge difference between depression and not being motivated to play. That’s why I said maybe it was just the way he worded it that I found troubling.
  7. I must of missed that. I know a lot of people jumped to the conclusion of a failed drug test. And maybe it’s just the way you phrased it that seems so off putting.
  8. Union having at least an expected 3.0 xg was the issue. No one could finish last night.
  9. Coming back from playing in Hawaii for Hastings, Bart found himself throwing up on the plane for some reason and then had to transfer out. I did see him dunk at 12 feet on that hoop Doc Farrell had that could crank up and down. Down for me.
  10. I believe so, yes. I just think if one of them has to play I would prefer it to be Cale.
  11. My opinion is if Sam is playing any meaningful minutes, something bad has happened. I also believe Jacobson can do everything Sam can and is twice the athlete.
  12. Let’s come back to this at the end of the season. This year’s team hasn’t done anything yet. That 18-19 team had as much talent in the starting line up back to our Big 8 tourney championship team. I’ve never seen Mast play and I have high hopes for him and a couple others but let’s see them do it at the bank and then I’ll move them above that team.
  13. That would make more sense and I would agree with everything except he wasn’t Usain Bolt but he could run
  14. Diop? Dude ran well in the full court drills and I didn’t pull out a tape measure but if he’s not 6’10 with a 7’3 wing span it wasn’t obvious. I have no reason to doubt those measurements. He did hit five threes in a row which is substantially better than what you or I could do.
  15. You could see how the offense stagnated when Gio went off. He is the straw that stirs the drink. Weah had a great two games. Put Adams behind as a pure 6 and that front 5 can cook.
  16. Apparently the metric they used to determine the coaching hire this time around was created by Gregg. Surprisingly it turns out he fits that metric the best. Craig Burley on ESPN FC said everyone involved in the decision were “a bunch of muppets.” We had to hire an outside firm because no one in USA soccer knows what they’re doing? And we end up where we started? Gio has shown he’s more important to the team than Gregg is. He needs to play in the middle from here on out. And Flo is the striker we’ve needed. A clinical finisher on top takes this team to a whole new level.
  17. Facts but I bet the first thing out of Huggins’s mouth when the police came to his window was, “Do you fuckn’ know who I am?”
  18. Incompetence - it wasn’t supposed to come out
  19. Gio plays great game - goes into locker room afterwards and checks twitter
  20. I said Scotland and Austria were maybes. I have not watched a lot of lower table French teams and I doubt too many people have. When I look at the statistical power rankings, Ligue 1 is fifth (one listed them 6th behind Brazil) and the MLS was 15-17th. Behind leagues like Greek, Turks, and Ukrainian. I’m not a soccer snob. I watch the owls in USL 1 and even went to the high school state tournament. I’ll watch the MLS and have gone to quite a few games. The level of play is not good compared to other countries. Having admitted I’ve not watched a lot of lower level French football, I find it hard to believe any MLS team could stay up in that league. We have what the call potential. Hopefully one day we will live up to it.
  21. I think most of the world sees Ligue 1 as the 5th of the top 5 leagues. Any of their "scrub" teams would run the MLS. There need to be many changes made before the MLS can actually be competitive on the world stage (time of season + relegation and promotion to begin with). I hope someday they make those changes but I'm not holding my breath. Leagues better than the MLS would include the Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico, Russia, Belgium, Turkey, possibly Austria and Scotland and definately better is the Championship, England's second division.
  22. Maybe one of the only correct insights I've ever had on this board.
