At 12:05 Trey says team tourney run then Bryce will be first team all big 10 and a first round draft pick - adds they will both be in the draft next year.

Top of the table with two games in hand is bonus. A possible 6 more points and even if you lose both and go even in number of games played, you’re still on top of the table.

Somewhere around the 12:20 mark Trey says they are both going in the draft after this season.

I loved Fred’s congratulations reminding Bryce he was an athlete as well.

We created a bunch of chances early. I like that Reyna came out post game and said he should had two (1 for sure), if that early goal goes in it’s a whole different game. Honduras can’t sit 10 guys behind the ball or have guys calling for the stretcher ever 5 minutes. The game opens up and we get three or four goals. Not finishing when we had opportunities was the biggest problem. And yes, Musah should have started and so should the goal scorer who I am not going to try to spell his name. Sargent made a huge contribution with the back header off the line to save a goal but did not do near enough on the other end of the field. Mexico struggled tonight vs Costa Rica - 0-0 shoot o on out victory. Make those two changes to the team plus Tyler Adams if he’s healthy and we got a team.

I would think it’s different for everyone just like any job. I’m sure some of them stay because they are really good at it and the love doing it, the teaching, the competing, the comradery, and most important for most coaches, the relationships. I’m sure some are still trying to prove something and some really like the money at that level. But to do it right takes a hell of a lot of work and it always comes with certain amount of shit. Maybe I’m naive, but I would think being willing to put up with all that and keep doing it most of them stay for the love of the game and all that comes with it.

Real Madrid is the New York Yankees of the football world. Only the Yankees don't have a connection to fascism.

My point was I wouldn't put baseball in but it doesn't matter. If the committee puts it in then its an olympic sport like it or not. We could list lots of sports we don't like, don't understand or feel that are not worthy (see the picture above this post for instance). And regardless of what you or I feel the winner of 3 on 3 basketball will be taking a gold medal home.

They have an Olympic committee that decides what sports are in and what sports are not. When they decide to place a sport in the competition that, by definition, makes it an Olympic sport. I do not particularly like baseball and I did play it in elementary school. It was out, then in, then out, and now its back in. That makes it an olympic sport.

How do you think the best MLS teams would fair in the EFL Championship league?

It’s not a 3v3 tournament. It’s the Olympic Games held in his home country. I’m an epl fan and my favorites club is losing players to the olympics as well, which is unfortunate for the club and fans like me but a no brainer for the players. You have a chance to represent your country in one of the biggest sporting events in the world that only takes place every four years and you think he should turn it down to get to preseason work outs in Lincoln?

I don't know if he was rated higher but it appears his focus was going to the west coast. He had offers from UCLA, Arizona and lots of PAC-12 teams that went away after the injury.

You can’t transfer in the NBA. If they think he can play someone will sign him and if he signs a contract he’s not going anywhere.

Roby, Copeland, Palmer, and Watson? - Allen always came up big in bigtime games, Anton Gill was a consensus four star, Evan Taylor was a solid D-1 player, and they had two big bodies in Jordy and Duby. So maybe they underachieved but that was a real D-1 basketball team.

Yes I am old enough to have watched Nee's teams and they were entertaining but was my favorite Nebraska team to watch and root for. How does a 4 seed in the Big 10 tournament not make the dance?

I heard rumors some younger players for Wisconsin really don't like him either and it may lead to some transfers.

Yes - He's getting a lot of slack on twitter about transferring two years in a row but no one seems to be dogging on Beard for going to Texas. I think he is more likely to go the draft route if he gets any encouragement at all from NBA personel. Regardless, I'm pretty sure Nebraska isn't on any list that he has put together as a potential destination.

It make you wonder how different this game would have been if it was Baylor that had to play UCLA in the semi's.

The best part of that is it is not conjecture but something that Fred has already made happen.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I never thought the game felt that way. The Zags scored so easily it always appeared to me that it was just a matter of time before the rout was on.

The word is he wants to go some place he will actually get time, so that means Nebraska is out.
