I like NC State's chances tomorrow against Notre Dame.
I like Bruins against Cal, and I think USC might pull an upset on their home field.

State is pretty beaten up...I think it will depend on how they have healed up in the last couple of days. A 4-0 loss to the Irish earlier this season in South Bend is difficult to put out of your mind.

I like the USC upset prediction. Stanford spent alot of gas on Thurs night. It will be interesting to see if they can refill the tank and bounce back.

Before I call

Does the Mitch take Phil's BBQ Gift Cards?

Do I address him as Yo Mitch or just Mitch?

Sounds like a sting operation

I will stick with Pookie and RayRay

They take Phil's BBQ Gift Cards

FairPlay

The Pack answered that question resoundingly. They must have a first class medical staff. Not quite the level as Barca vs. PSG, but it was a pretty incredible turnaround from 0-4 to 4-1. Now for a matchup with the Heels next Friday.

One would think the Waves should be seeded, yes?

Regardless of result, that UCLA v Stanford game and the follow up games and the last game coming probably help both sides going forward - they each face fierce competition right before the tournament getting them primed

Duke looks very good as well -- got to watch them vs Virginia

Cal respectable results and showing out well vs SoCal sides

Arizona quietly having a strong season

Should be a great NCAA tournament
 
While I can agree that UCLA's Fleming is a great player, I am sick of hearing the announcers (who always seem to be the same people game after game) proclaim her as the best in college. Not only is she NOT, she is arguable not even the best on her own team. Great skills, IQ, etc. yes. Far from best.

It's NOT a foolish decision. The school isn't going anywhere. She can always go back to school.

She sat on the bench with the players on Sunday and went out to dinner with one of the girls family. She misses college and the overall college experience. They could have used her this season.

Shame on US Soccer for making her choose. It's rare that rushing a process turns out well.

I don't think anyone on her team would argue that she is the best and I'm fairly certain none of the PAC 12 coaches would agree with you. Every training session every game she does something that makes you say wow. My player says that marking her in practice makes all the players in game seem extremely easy to mark by comparison. We don't even have a player in the full WNT or even in the pipeline with her flair and vision.

And she is a dean's list engineering student that is a perfectionist. I respectfully must disagree.

While this might be true, I still tell my kids to focus on her movement off the ball when we're able to watch games together. As a bonus, something about her hair makes it pretty easy to spot how often she shoulder checks which I try to make my kids aware of.

True. They reviewed the same video others say show the ball was in. They reached a conclusion and there is no use to revisiting it. On to the NCAA's!

They didn't reach a conclusion. They said that it was inconclusive and without a goal line camera it was a moot argument.

Smart. She is a cold blooded killer on the pitch and easily the best player in the world under the age of 24.

What is going to suck is when a Canadian WNT built around her takes over as the boss of CONCACAF and all of the players around her attend US colleges. And I will be cheering for her!
