  1. Seth was really good last night. And how about Mads channeling his inner Christian Eriksen for about 20 minutes. Talk about “flow!” Memphis was wondering “did Leverkusen accidentally leave this guy behind??”
  2. I realize this will be a comment widely regarded as treason; but with 5 seconds left on the clock, down by one, I take Jett over everyone.
  3. I find OG kind of amazing….takes shot after shot after shot after shot…and keeps coming. The Randall Tex Cobb of this board…absolutely relentless….
  4. Never have seen anything like this. Full stretch on all 6 saves. Nothing easy. Carlos must read minds…
  5. You are correct about Maddison. LCFC folks ecstatic he was called up. I’m worried Southgate has come to realize Maddison’s talents…he can carve up a defense like no one else.
  6. McMakin HAS to be better than 2-16 and fouling out. This has to be an anomaly. Maybe she was ill. Forget her Longwood stats. She was Player of the Year in Virginia Beach. This is from where Iverson, Vick and other such athletes hail. The high school level in that area is extremely high. There is just no way this game was a legit indication of her skill set…
  7. This was the first women’s game i was able to watch this year. Two comments: 1) The SJU offset striker Daniels has very good pace and decent skills. If the word “pass” was in her vocabulary, we would have needed more than two goals to win the game. I would have been furious if I was her wing… 2) The improvement in Caroline K.’s game from the last time I watched her is massive. She is now a female version of Becher.
  8. My understanding is the main reason Yuri returned is that he had a long heart to heart with SLU staff. Talked about how much SLU and St. Louis mean to Yuri, and about how much Yuri means to SLU, etc. Yuri is a true St. Louis kid. Secondary reason for retuning when he did is that he was aware of Ramey’s desire (and he saw what happened to Nesbitt when JN made the NBA play, wanted to return, and discovered Javon P had occupied his spot.) I don’t know what sort of NIL deal with Yuri was discussed (if any.). The concern is future recruits. Opposing coaches would go down the route: “hey, SLU might be a great place to play, with a good vibe and a cool staff; but they can’t get you any NIL funding….”
  9. Ramey was 100% committed to SLU. He initiated the dialogue. Only one stipulation: He had to play the point. Yuri decided to return. Ramey said “adios.” This is not.a secret. SLU staff talks about it openly now. The larger concern is Yuri still does not have a lucrative NIL deal.
  10. I agree, Seth’s pace and skill set work very well on the left wing. I liked the Ukrainian kid (Alex S.) on the right opposite Parker with Becher at the 9 last season - was my fave attacking line up. The fact Alex is slowly working his way back from injury bodes well for SLU.
  11. SLU definitely gave as good as they got in the first half. Second half was a different story... #7 is one bright spot - kid is a baller!
  12. The only real negative with losing the first two games is our chance of finishing in the Top 4 is pretty much wiped out. We play UW at home last year and we’re in the Cup…with even odds to win the whole thing…
  13. I’m surprised VCU is that high…their “far and away” best player last year is now with St. Louis FC Next….and playing very well. They must have recruited at a decent level.
  14. Larson is that rare player…every time she receives the ball one anticipates something positive is going to happen. Kind of like Parker was for the Men’s team last year. Fun to watch.
  15. Exactly. Going rate is @ $10 - $500 per 1,000 followers…depends on niche and level of engagement.
  16. Neoclassical value investing…love it! Old Guy is feeling it tonight…kind of like Nesbitt in the first half up in Olean….
  17. The ONLY loss that bothers me is Nesbitt. He was plain and simply electric. Fun to watch. Every time he got the ball. Period. I’ll miss him this season.
  18. Peyton had her moments as well. Strong and athletic. As much upside as anyone on the team.
  19. A Soprano wannabe adding sartorial flair to our bench for a couple of years in exchange for Tre..I would take it!!
  20. Tre Mitchell is the transfer we need. He owned the A10…did not live up to expectations in the Big 12. He knows what Javonte and SLU represent…and CTF knows first hand what Tre is capable of..come back to the A10 Tre!
  21. I think every time Schaz posts a UT update, someone in the know should post a Vanderbilt update….that might slow down the UT drivel a wee bit…
  22. Not certain we can count on Pickford following in Green’s footsteps and throwing the ball into his own net again…but one can always hope…. And Gracias a Dios we are not Costa Rica…they’ll be lucky to get a point in their group if they make it in…
  23. Absolutely…or just check in with the announcers…”se la vendio” must have been repeated ten times
