SLUBALLS Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Who’s attending tomorrow? Taking half day to take son to game since he has another half day due to a teacher in-service day. I swear the latter happens 2x a month in the parochial schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game. I think SLU leads the all time series with Fordham 9-6… all of the games against the Rams have been tough, physical contests. Much respect. HCKK was letting some of the Ram players after the game how much he respected their physicality. Great sportsmanship from Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 PKs are one of my favorite parts of any sport. So much suspense. Good dub boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Whew....while PKs are exciting it's such a strange ending. Let's finish that game we were just playing by playing a very different but related game. Plus ya never know would've been such a let down after the season. But they're victorious, 10 Time National Champions SLU going to the NCAAs. Where can I get A10 championship swag? Maybe a blue and white scarf?

Imo it's a ridiculous way to decide an important game. Imo soccer needs a couple of things one will never happen, one you never know. 1. Enlarge the goals. Goalkeepers are just too long and athletic. If players could shoot with a real chance to score from 25 or 30 yards out the game would open up. Much less 11 in the box defense and play for a lucky counter, draw, or PK's 2. Change the offsides rule. Preferably get rid of it but at least make it to where any part of the body has to be equal to the defender. Calls where the players head leaning forward puts them off is silly. SLU_Lax and Bizziken 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal size argument is akin to raising the rim in basketball because everyone can dunk. If goalkeepers are too good (rims too low), offensive players just need to get better (defenders get better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Sports make too many rule changes: See CFB overreacting to 5 or 6 multi OT games per year. cgeldmacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If goalkeepers are too good (rims too low), offensive players just need to get better (defenders get better). You may like soccer with 11 men defending in the box all game and teams trying to string together 4-5 passes within 18 yards of the goal to get off a crappy shot or 0-0 games after 110 minutes. I'd like to see the game opened up more. More offensive flow, more shots from distance and less packed in defending. I find myself turning off games unless I'm emotionally invested in the team as many, many games are just incredibly boring. And this comes from someone who played for 30 years and has followed the game very closely for 50. The rim argument isn't the same because it would affect shooters. Every shooter in the game would have to completely change their shot. Enlarging the goal a little only changes the strategy not the required skill. I get it'll never happen but there is absolutely no question in my mind it would make the game more exciting. I'm not talking about a huge change maybe 18" wider and 6" taller. Btw ... basketball did add a 3pt shot. Made the game a better game. Bizziken, Bills By 40 and RUBillsFan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 And back to our regular scheduled programming......Schulte's save in regulation was unreal. I thought it was a sure goal. The last 20 seconds of regulation saw us almost pull it out. Kipp does a nice move around a Fordham just inside the half near SLU's bench and plays a great ball up over everyone to Klein who is in the box. Klein gets it down, stays so unbelievably composed as the defenders and goalie are sh-tting themselves, takes it right and tries to sneak it in the near post, only to see it go just wide.
