Yes, if it was Princeton, or Duke, or UVA, or Notre Dame, she most certainly would have said No Thanks.
Blasphemy (or just another one of your spins)
Luv ya Cali...but your propaganda has always cracks me up.

Should be a good match. After their match with CSUF I think ASU is ready for Conference play. They played a fairly weak preseason but that's ok because they are fairly young. Should be a fun match. Not sure if ASU has quite enough yet. But I like their recruiting classes so far. DD's old teammate just Committed last week to the Devils. Trying to rally a couple of others that I think would help.
Signature road win for State! 1st place in the ACC! Go Pack!
UCLA 2-0 win.
Signature loss? When the #18 team in the country beats an unranked side by a score of 1-0? Anyone that knows anything about soccer would never call that a signature loss. And Virginia is #7 in the country...FSU is #15. They aren't their usual selves?Signature loss for NC State! Last week seems like a fluke. We will see. Virginia and Florida St. aren't there usual selves so it will be interesting to see who wins the regular season and tournament titles. NC State should shoot to make the ACC tournament and that will be a success for them.
And if you want to go back and watch the match, you will see a perfect example of your explanation in action. Notre Dame came out big in the first 10 mins, then it was all Wolfpack in the rest of the half, until a defensive lapse allowed a quick counter goal with under 5 mins left in the 1st half. 2nd half was played nearly equal with the Irish taking a defensive posture. Shots were about the same with many of Notre Dame's coming in the first part of the first half. NC State had the advantage in corners 8-3, showing the pressure that was being applied to Irish defense throughout the 90 mins.We all know that the score of a soccer game doesn't always tell the story. Why don't you pull up a replay and tell me what you think.

And yes, there will probably be more L's than W's over the next few weeks in an incredibly tough conference schedule, but for a program that you described in the old forum as a "perennial cellar dweller", they have already had a successful showing. I would be thrilled to see them pick up 3 more conference wins this year, and reload for next year. 14 players saw the pitch last night in beautiful Raleigh, NC, and 11 of them were freshman or sophomores. It is a very young team, which will only improve in the upcoming years.

What was predictable is the outcome.
And their "star" freshmen weren't anywhere near the ECNL last year...they were in Germany playing for Bayern Munich. Unless of course, the ECNL is taking their award winning discipline overseas now.
Not a fan of the penalty called in the first half to give the Tarheels a penalty kick and a 1-0 lead. Would like the refs on this board to take a look and give me their opinion.Just like the outcome of the match against the Tarheels was predictable too, right? Just like the outcome of the Tarheels/UCLA match too, right? All too predictable. You just hate it when an upstart throws off your little world...and the way you think things "should" be.

I thought BYU may have been vulnerable early in the season when they lost at home to Nebraska.
I think all it did was piss em off!
They are an absolute machine right now.
She is one of my favorite players in college soccer.I like Gomes she creates most of that teams opportunities.
See a pattern, raw raw Legends, raw raw National League, raw raw NC State! I recall he use to hype up Oregon and Indiana when his DD was looking at those schools, but no longer after his DD committed to NC State.
Cali, I know you are probably use to being high up the corporate ladder, but you need to learn your place in the college soccer world.See a pattern, raw raw Legends, raw raw National League, raw raw NC State! I recall he use to hype up Oregon and Indiana when his DD was looking at those schools, but no longer after his DD committed to NC State.

A dynamic threat on offense.
