At this point, expel us. I don’t care. We broke zero rules. We’ll go be independent and make the playoff every year.

It was absolutely shitting the bed. Touchdown favorite, at home. 2 missed field goals, fumble in your own territory. Allow an inept passing game to walk down the field in less than a minute with no timeouts. Yeah. That’s shitting the bed

Just got back from there on Sunday. Played crossings twice, falls twice and short course once. I personally liked the layout of crossings a little bit more but they are both great courses in great shape. The short course is a lot of fun too with some crazy greens. Can’t say enough good things about the place, other than the clubhouse food being average at best

There was a glimmer of a chance with this WC game and the USMNT choked.

It was an extremely poor game but I think the WC overall was a success for soccer popularity in the US. Now US Soccer needs to capitalize on it.

Looking back at the 2014 squad, we had 7 guys playing in a top 5 Euro league and 2 of those were GKs. 2026 has 14 in a top 5 euro and a couple in the Netherlands/Scotland. The talent level is definitely rising. We just have to keep building it

By the time a player is at college age they would be too old to be a prospect. Most of the global professional clubs expect their prospects to be pushing their way onto the senior team by the time they are 16 or 17. Maybe if you're a late developer they'll hang on until you're 18.

The argument here isn’t that we could get good pros out of collegiate soccer. The argument is a lot of kids in the 10-13 year range quit because there isn’t a future in soccer like there is for baseball, basketball, football. Keeping that 10 year old playing soccer with the dream of playing for (insert favorite college) is the goal there.

I don’t think there is one root cause and there definitely isn’t one quick fix. Football is declining in popularity at the youth level and soccer needs to capitalize on that at the club level, high school level and college level.

I only saw the last fifteen minutes. I saw one bad foul call in Argentina’s favor. Was there more going on?

Well they completely wiped out an Egypt goal with a VAR review of a “foul” that happened 100 yards from where the goal was scored

First 15 minutes looked like an MLS team. Poor touches, no creativity, hopeful long balls. Seems like we’re settling in.

I’m not a fan of the VAR red card with no foul called. Just like the CFB targeting ejections when no flag was thrown on the play. If no official thought it was bad enough to even warrant a penalty live then it shouldn’t be worthy of an ejection IMO

re: Arrcos vs. Shotscope vs. Anything Else

Posted by Not Cooper on 6/9/26 at 8:46 pm to AUjim

Tried arccos and hated it. It’s a cool concept but it just doesn’t work. You constantly have to be looking at your phone because it will just randomly not register shots or register practice swings as shots, or if you bring 2 clubs to the green and put your putter down it’ll register that as a stroke. One day it just missed every stroke I made and registered an albatross and hole in one on back to back holes.

The yardages also never really worked. I like to hit punch shots with my 4 iron and it would always calculate those into my average distance so I’d have to go in manually and remove those. They were supposed to have improved a lot of those features but I don’t see myself ever going back to it.

Played today, absolutely not worth $100. Decent greens and layout but no driving range and little else to offer. There’s a better course for much cheaper 10 minutes away.

I’ve never hid that I’m not a fan of CJJ. He just recruits players and expects them to be good. He doesn’t try to develop players. Vitello was fantastic at Tennessee because he invested a ton of time developing his players and word got out and he started getting better players to develop and eventually turned that into a championship.

And Jay has 2 of those. Seems like his way is at least twice as effective as Vitello.
