Kim had the starters in up 87 with 5:00 to go in the 4th
No timeouts left at the 23 yard line in OT, tied 27-27 with less than 30 seconds left. All Washington had to do was spike it and kick a field goal, they lined up to run a play and Jayden ran for like 1 yard and slid down and the clock ran out

Well our last coach couldn’t win on the road either.

And when the game is on the line he goes away from it. It’s maddening

Blake Baker in clutch situations

Ole Miss 2Q - 8 play 75 yard TD
Ole Miss 4Q - 13 play 75 yard TD

UK 2Q - 15 play 75 yard TD
UK 4Q - 9 play 67 yard FG

Four clutch situations. Four easy scores.

Even Texas A&M had a drive into our territory right before half until a holding penalty derailed it.

When we need a stop most he goes to a soft shell coverage and gets destroyed. Every time.

They cannot. It will be ravens ball at the 1

They’re going to overturn this

And completely ignore the blatant facemask
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

Top 5 worst take of all time

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
That’s just unbelievably bad
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
Has not played one college game and being compared to one of the best interior DL of all time :lol:
2001 Tennessee with my dad. Will never forget LaBrandon Toefield down the sideline. Hell of a first game.

So wife commented about that place. Recs?

Cheaper and better for people who actually like to play golf. Although it is not well covered or air conditioned so it can get toasty in the evenings
Playing there this weekend and have never played or honestly even heard of it. Not really sure what to expect.
