That said, I was surprised UCLA gave up a goal.

A particular player only played the first 30 minutes. That goal occurred when that player was not on the pitch. If that player had been on the pitch she would have prevented that one particular goal. That player may have just gotten back from an injury and they might have been saving that player for heavy minutes this week.

That's what I heard anyway.

UCLA is so deep, perhaps Bakersfield first 11 could keep themselves close....but once the second line was put in UCLA's depth should have, & did, blow poor Bakersfield out of the water.

Once the first 5 minutes of adrenaline wore off it was fairly one sided. They had 24 shots and the keeper had 8 saves. Some of the ones that weren't on frame would have been goals. I'd say the Bruins are as deep as I have ever seen them in terms of quality depth.

I might just see you in LB on Sunday.

PM me. I will buy you a beer.

Korn hails from Bakersfield as well. As do Casey Mears & Kevin Harvick of NASCAR fame.

Not a big Korn fan, but Those guys hit it big.
Also not a big NASCAR guy.
My dad raced road courses, and hill climbs, and he didnt think the NASCAR guys could drive, until Bobby Unser beat him up Pikes Peak in '65.

Bakersfield was home to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, and the "Bakersfield sound" revolutionized country music.
Whether you like country or not, that dusty farm town produced legends in the music industry.
Who's to say it cant produce a great soccer team someday?

That said, I was surprised UCLA gave up a goal.

I am more of a Roy Clark fan. A drummer once told me "If you listen carefully to country music you can hear the drummer tapping out Morse code that says 'Please kill me before the song ends.'"

Roy Clark. The other guy on Hee Haw.
But seriously, he could really play guitar.

If you're an artist, check out "Muscle Shoals".
Great documentary on American music.

With soccer starting up need to drop Direct and switch to someone with Pac12 network. Leaning torwards Spectrum.

Can't you just use the Pac12 app to watch or stream the games from the Pac12 website?

I use the app, plus Apple TV and stream the games directly to my TV.

I am getting direct for $75 a month, down from $125. I would hate to have to go back to cable, but I understand.

If Pepperdine could get out of San Diego with a win and a tie, I'd say that's a good weekend. I'm going out on a limb though and predicting an upset against A&M.

I think Pepperdine will win against A&M.
I wouldnt call it an upset either.
Pep was co-champions with BYU in the WCC last season.

I would be willing to make a gentlemen's bet, but Zero-D has the honors.
He's the master of ceremonies this season.
He has the honor of making the first challenge, or passing it.

All you need to do is follow Speed's advice.
Most games are free online.

I know Speed isnt betting against Pep.
My challenge was to any and all A&M believers.

With soccer starting up need to drop Direct and switch to someone with Pac12 network. Leaning torwards Spectrum.

Easiest way to watch the Pac12 network without needing to cancel your DirecTV is to register for SlingTV. The monthly is about $40-45 after adding the sports package. Then cancel the subscription after the season ends in November. It is what I did last year and will be doing it again this year.

SlingTV is affiliated with Dish Network.
