2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

I don't mean it in a negative sense as far as players or coaches but more so consistently attracting elite / super good talent with the likes of UCLA and U$C 'just down the pike.' Then having an expectation that they will be able to compete consistently with top P5 programs (and the occasional Kansas, etc ) is a challenge IMHO. Plus not having the recruitment engine that the P5 schools have works against them. Don't get me wrong, I personally really like the Waves and have been to a few games there. Awesome view and one heck of a built in cardio workout exploring the campus!

Appreciate the context GoWest. As Ricky said, Pepperdine probably won't ever be able to compete with the P5 schools in recruiting but we're competitive year in and year out and it's a special place to go to school and play soccer. Our girls consider themselves blessed to have to opportunity to play there.

Beautiful day out in Malibu. The waves ran a lot of freshmen yesterday and they willl be fine. Karma coulda played a little into it when the whole Pepp team bailed on the post anthem pregame handshake and left the Trojans standing at midfield wondering what to do. Is that a tradition?

You just can’t help but try and create a controversy. You are such a mitch. Stop trying to start crap. You should save the $hit talk for after $C beats someone. Karma is a bitch and my money says it comes and bites you and the Trojans in the a$$.

And you still have two a$$ whuppings coming up to the true contenders. That kickball to Pruitt and Jacobs and putting a forward at centerback is going to bite you in the a$$ this weekend.

Trying to pile on the Pepperdine parents is low even for a ground dwelling, mouth breathing bitch a$$ pu$$y like you. I’ll be your huckleberry... Talk $hit to me you mitch.

He is just that guy who whines about someone talking crap about his kid (and there is plenty to say) yet he turns around and tries to twist the knife when Pepperdine (an excellent team AND school) are struggling. It’s his typical NorCal crybaby bull$hit. He is just such a bitch. I hope that I run into him at Stub Hub...

Pepperdine home games don't have a pre-game handshake, they have this little routine where they run over and join the rest of the team screaming something (maybe something like "Waves" after "home of the brave") right at the last bar of the National Anthem. I didn't even know there was supposed to be a pre-game handshake LOL And I have never noticed the opposing team being confused by this routine either. Shows you how out to lunch I am.

"Home of the Waves"
Its a home tradition.

Thanks for the clarification
I wasn’t digging a knife I simply haven’t seen that before
As for the other comment , he blamed me for getting him red carded from big soccer last year after he bus rolled my kid on the public similar to what he has done here with zero provocation except for the fact my kid plays for USC Never posted a negative thing on his kid. He is an angry person who has some vengeance built up for something he thinks I said. The drama here is why I stick to big soccer. People don’t bash each other or their kids. On that note, I’m out. Cheers

No problem.
It took me six or seven games before i could figure out what they were doing.
They have the anthem thing down pat.
Im looking forward to them playing something that resembles soccer again.

Well based upon the Indiana v. Clemson match I watched over the weekend, I’d say we may be in luck this Friday.

Nobody believes they have the ability to recruit with UCLA or UCLA, or even USC.
They attract a certain type of student athlete. They dont play in the Pac-12 and they dont have the bright lights and bells and whistles.
This is a small, Christian based school that gets top professors with classes that average 20 to thirty kids in many classes.
There are great benefits for young women lucky enough to go to Pepperdine.
As far as soccer goes, the program has the small school benefits on a beautiful campus, with the opportunity to play the best teams in the country, year in and year out.
They do well with the players who do fit the mold.
Instead of having National team players from top to bottom like Stanford and UCLA, they get a few of those, mixed with other talent passed over by the Big Dogs. (who understand and fit with what Pepperdine offers)

Overall the program is on the rise.
It has won back to back league championships for the first time in program history, and will continue to be a force in the WCC from now on.
Tough start this season?, yeah.

After 4 years of worrying that my stuff would get stolen at Cal, at the last minute I went to Pepperdine for graduate school. The facility is amazing, they get the best visiting professors because who would not want to live in Malibu? In my case we had Supreme Court justices that we got to know personally. Professors take a personal interest in students and do everything possible to place students with internships and jobs; their contacts are amazing. It is a great place to party and surf. I never had to worry about safety and training on that track is surreal. It was the best 3 years of my life.
 
The North Texas coach has questionable game management skills. What is with that sub at the 88:35 mark that ate up a minute?

You are still a whining bitch. Your kid’s foot skills is what the problem is. $C plays kickball because she has no feet. There I said it again. And quit the bullshit innocent act Ken Collins. You and I both know you were talking shit about my kid and you got some hot lava and got burned. I would love to discuss it in person with you peckerwood.

I take back what I said about them never being to compete on a recruiting level with the power 5.
If they build a locker room and put in some real stadium seating, who wouldn't pick Pepperdine?

I think it is an awesome school, but it is not for everybody. People that cannot afford or that do not want to go to a religious school would go elsewhere.

I had major reservations about my daughter going to a "religious school" but its no more religious than Notre Dame, Santa Clara or San Francisco. Yeah, you have to take some religion classes and its a dry campus but really what's wrong with that? Even if you are an atheist its good to be well rounded in your knowledge. But I see how that would turn some people off on paper....and it is *expensive*.
