Reading that thread about John Brady’s tenure last night made me think of those Trent Johnson years. Can any basketball insiders explain what made him so bad at recruiting? His first season here and his success with the Lopez brothers at Stanford proved he was a good Xs and Os coach when he had g...

This thread brings back some memories. As a kid, I took a piss in the urinal next to Wayne Graham before that Saturday night heartbreaker we lost in 2005. He was nice talking to fans. The old Box didn’t have a separate bathroom for visiting players and coaches, so they had to mingle with us regular ...

There’s only one thing for them to do now. Hire El Chelis or Miguel Herrera again. That would be great comedy. :lol: All the El Tri fans I know are furious with the FMF. It’s bad enough to be overmatched by the US, but now even Canada has surpassed them. That really hurts their pride. The gringos...

This is the best we’ve looked against Mexico in a long time. They had no threat at all except that one ball over the top to Henry Martin that Turner had to deal with. We’ve thoroughly outclassed them so far. They look so slow and unathletic compared to our guys. We just have to execute better in the...

Whoever draws Campbell as their #2 seed will be pissed. That’s a scary team. Probably should have hosted over Indiana State, but geography was working against them. Probably South Carolina, since presumably they were the #15 or #16 seed chosen, so the committee will give them a strong #2 seed and...

We will always have that brief moment of bliss where it looked like Costa Rica might top the group with a -5 goal differential. That would have been amazing :lol: They’ve truly mastered the art of shithouse goals. Just ran out of gas and Germany’s talent finally wore them down. ...

[quote]I’m sure the French have sent someone home during one of their implosions[/quote] Yeah, they sent home like a third of the team in the 2010 mutiny. They had to explain themselves to the Prime Minister after that embarrassment. :lol: I’m just glad the rest of the world gets to experience...

To be fair to Gregg, we were trying to sub Aaronson on for a solid 7-8 minutes before finally having the opportunity to do so. The ball stayed in play for a crazy amount of time. Ideally, Aaronson and Reyna would have come on around the 65th minute when England were starting to seize momentum bac...

[quote]I think it makes us look like amateurs to be honest.[/quote] Oh, I agree. I’m fine with him dressing like that for qualifiers, but I think it’s very unprofessional for him to dress like that at a World Cup match. At least wear a nice button-down and some slacks, Gregg. Not a big deal, b...
