I know that there are a lot of really talented boys up in that area so I would imagine the same is true for girls. If a kid wants to stay close to home or a free ride to a college, don't mock them. There are many valid reasons a kid would go there.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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