It doesnt matter if you were impressed.
Trust me. They dont care.
They beat BYU in Provo. Something that had not been done in years.
That was the turning point for their program.
We will see if it continues or not.

I don't know what was lost in the translation so let me say it again. I saw both teams play the same team LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR I thought that BYU was better. This was by comparing them against the same team. I thought that Nebraska went down quite easily in the tournament and didn't put up much of a fight. BYU meanwhile was problematic for that same team. No worries this is a different year and they both are clearly different teams. If it was a turning point for the program then good for them.
I've been to Husker stadium during the fall. It's a nice place with great fans. Lincoln and Omaha also have the best steak you will ever eat in your life. I bet that his benchmarks aren't very high there but given the facilities he seems to be doing well. Good luck to your player's team this week. Gotta keep that RPI up for our September date.
By the way I'm going to crack that bottle of Don Julio open and sip one the way you suggested if they pull one off in Provo. I've been there too and that altitude can wear on you.
Signs of improvement: held UCSB to just one goal.

Speaking of RPI, I was wondering if these next 4 teams Pepperdine is facing are really going to do much for their RPI? Admittedly, I am new to the college scene and don't entirely understand how RPI is calculated but I do know strength of schedule is part of it. Are these next 4 strong enough opponents to do much to raise Pepperdine's RPI?
RPI is 25% WLT record, 50% opponents' combined WLT record, 25% opponent's opponent's combined WLT record (with some tweaks to avoid counting games twice and allegedly to denigrate ties). The 25-50-25 proportions may vary from year to year, as may the rules for the tweaks. The whole point of the RPI is to give the tournament selection committee a rationale for choosing the remainder of the field after each conference's automatic slots are filled, and to make a reasonable set of first-round matchups. Other NCAA sports use variations of this method, but an RPI calculation with some set of proportions and tweaks is at the heart of them all.

You should try watching the games and then you might understand that they are playing the long game. They are getting minutes for inexperienced talent and resting key players. Watch this weekend when they outscore your Trojans whole season in 2 games. Maybe one.
Just wait until you guys see them. They are really going to make it hurt this year and for the foreseeable future.
Next four games won't do much for RPI.
I like it straight up poured over an orange slice.
Btw, I was just busting your balls.
You got my 1942, it's therapeutic for me.

I didn't think so but hopefully it will give everybody a chance to build chemistry and teamwork and also give some more players time on the field.

Damn! That sounds good! I am going to give that a try.

Straight up over an orange slice it is. Hopefully they take care of business. I like where they are in this poll.

Let's hope they can keep it up. I have to know who the drunk coach was that gave $C a number 1 vote. I'm thinking that it would have been better spent elsewhere. It is nice to see 6 PAC 12 teams in the top 25. Good luck to your player this weekend.

So to speak.
Noooooo, for the love of god please don't. Yes oranges make tequilas taste better but 1942 doesn't need it.

I had to take his recommendation. When I told him I was going to pour it over ice and sip it he gave me a suggestion. I'm going to try it both ways assuming the prior condition of a win on Friday happens. Otherwise I still have a half a bottle of Patron Anejo in the freezer. Rickey F assures me that the 1942 is better. He has earned his street cred with me. Good luck to your player this weekend in the new GDA.
He is 100% correct on the Patron Anejo v 1942. There are very few tequila's I prefer over 1942 (Clase Azul Extra Anejo being one). I do put the Clase Azul Reposado on par if not a very slight notch below it.
Thank you! She's found some new self confidence over the summer and is back to playing with a huge smile on her face!
Of course it doesnt need it. Its great tequila.
One thing I wont do is drink it with ice.
I have the best Washington navels you have ever tasted growing out back.
A slice gently placed in the bottom of the glass, and then baptized in 1942, is very special.
I will have to try it....just seems sac religious.
Very thin slice, not squeezed or disturbed in any way, laid in the bottom.
That reminds me of a joke....but I digress.
Drink up and good luck to the all the collegians!!
