2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

I feel kinda weird interrupting the love fest...but looking at this weekend I think UCLA may be challenged from Arizona. They came up very strong v Cal and Stanford. Can the offense for UCLA breakdown the AZ d that has shown well, at the same time of neutralizing a potent AZ offense? UCLA D better beware. Good stuff this week

I think that you are focusing on the wrong team from LA. Arizona is an impressive 1-22 against the Bruins. I'm pretty sure that they can handle a little organized chaos. Nice try at creating drama but the only chance the Wildcats have to duplicate their losing result against Stanford is to bunker. If the Bruins come out in their bunker busting formation (which they will) that will only work for maybe 20 minutes.

Arizona was lucky to only give up one goal to Stanford and believe it or not UCLA is better than Stanford. I'm going to bet that they are more concerned with getting a result against the Trojans than trying to stop Seal Team Six.

Let's revisit this on Monday.
 
So I finished watching the UCLA vs. Oregon St. game last night. Wasn't even close. Because my U13 daughter is a keeper, I enjoy watching every teams keepers. Was not impressed with Oregon St keeper. She seemed to have trouble bending her knees, slow to dive, and didn't come off her line. Contrast that to the UCLA keeper that is always very active. Talking about keepers, I watched the Chicago Red Stars vs Portland Thorns game this past weekend. Chicago's keeper didn't even look like she belonged on a college team, let alone a professional team. Very surprised they don't have a better player as a backup.

It is funny because I've been able to get my daughter to watch some of these keepers and it is actually giving her confidence watching some of them and their limitations. Even my wife commented that she sees so many amazing players on the pitch, but not as many keepers. I know as a parent we see our kids with rose colored glasses, but if she can grow a bit and continue to improve, she might be able to play at the next level some day.

Am I the only one that prefers the women's game over the men's game?

Bunker Busters

Seal Team 6

I swear you remind me of Doris Burke

Good Luck to your player

Good female keepers are hard to find, just watch keeper training and you will know why. It's brutal.
At the younger age groups coaches seem to put the least athletic kids in goal and by the time you know it many of those girls get stuck in goal and the better athletes end up in another position and it's a little late to switch them.

I watched the AZ/Stanford game as well. To hold one of the highest goal scoring teams in the country (4.36/Game) to a single goal and have quality opportunities as well make them a stern opponent. I think AZ has a legit shot at taking down both of the Socal teams

But UCLA has

Bunker Buster and a Seal Team

Word on the streets it's Seal Team 6

Yup. Hopefully you are at the game so that you can see it up close. It is awesome to watch... I can't wait to hear what you have to say. Training has been going great this week.... Kickball won't work.

If you say so. I guess that I was watching a different game because this is what I saw:

http://pac-12.com/content/womens-soccer-statistics

Outshot 32-4, 12-2 shots on goal, 9-2 on corners and they out fouled Stanford 9-3.

That sounds like Stanford put on a clinic and Arizona's keeper had the game of her life and they bunkered like the Germans in WWII. That may sound like they had a chance but honestly 1 shot on goal per half? You don't really believe that. You must have some connection to an Arizona player because that simply isn't reality.

And oh yeah UCLA is better than Stanford....
 
You won't be there

You puke in humid and triple-digit weather

Remember

I do remember and I don't puke in humid and/or tropical weather. I am from the South. You make a lot of ASSumptions about me. If you think that your Wildcats will win I have a $150 Phil's BBQ giftcard that says that they will 1-23 against UCLA come 10pm Sunday night. Or we can make it a Jersey Mike's giftcard if you would like.

Put your $$$ where your mouth is and see what Seal Team Six has in store for Organizes Chaos...
 
@Sheriff Joe

Would you so kindly

Share your beef jerky technic
Now that recipe is pretty well guarded, I am planning on retiring off of that recipe.
I will however give you some tips,
1. Use London Broil, have butcher cut it for jerky.
2. Marinate in a 1/2 sodium soy sauce base with whatever other ingredients you like, 4 hours should do.
3. Drain meat and then dry it in between paper towels.
4. Place on raised cookie cooling racks and point a big fan or two on the meat and depending on the humidity and thickness of the meat, it should be done in 8 hours or so.
I prepare the meat during the day so I can set it up to dry over night.
If you like you can PM me an address and I will send you a sample, I will be making some this weekend.
I have been experimenting with this for over 35 years, I don't measure anything in my recipe.
Have the meat cut across the top of the meat not the sides, you want to have the strips around 3x5 inches.
I have a slicer so it makes things easy. I like the meat sliced about 1/8 of an inch on maybe a little thinner.
 
Be nice

I never said anything about you

You said you puked on Peyton Manning

And Gatorade

Remember

I never said that I puked on Manning. You might want to reread my statement. I did have 10 tackles, a 50 yard interception for a touchdown and a forced fumble though...

You are correct

You puked after the blown coverage

And 2 big ass cups of Gatorade

Remember

You puked on the field and

Puke Protocol made you sit a play

Remember it was humid
