How are those my words? Are you now claiming I’m Swoosh?

Good luck to your kid

No the previous post was your response to Swoosh’s post agreeing with him/her that $C was better than UCLA. $C is now at home with the non-contenders as is Santa Clara, Colorado, Wazzu and Arizona.
 
If I did my calculations correct, here are the winning percentages by round and total. Fun facts to argue what the best conference is. I'm a PAC 12 homer and think they got screwed with only 5 teams, ACC also very impressive especially in the 2nd round.
Round 1
Pac 12 - 100%
ACC - 70%
SEC - 78%
Big 10 - 50%
Big 12 - 83%

Round 2
Pac 12 - 60%
ACC - 100%
SEC - 29%
Big 10 - 67%
Big 12 - 20%

Round 3
Pac 12 - 67%
ACC - 29%
SEC - 50%
Big 10 - 50%
Big 12 - 100%

Total
Pac 12 - 10 wins vs 3 losses = 77% 2 left
ACC - 16 wins vs 8 losses = 67% 2 left
SEC - 10 wins vs 8 losses = 56% 1 left
Big 10 - 6 wins vs 5 losses = 55% 1 left
Big 12 - 8 wins vs 5 losses = 62% 1 left

Of course ANYONE would have done what the Bruins have done. Honestly this statement is pretty lame. You thought that the game would be competitive. It wasn’t and few games are competitive when they are at full strength. Most teams in the country don’t have the depth of talent and the superior coaching. No reason to downgrade what this team has accomplished.

You may or may not know that in 2015 UCLA missed the playoffs for the first time. In 2016 they got a bad 4 seed and had to play West Virginia on a snow covered field that they refused to shovel before the game after saying they would just to neutralize the Bruins advantage and they lost 4-3 on PKs. This team has gone through tons of adversity and deserve all that they have.

Nobody said that their path was easy when they were 0-2 in conference and in last place. Please give credit were credit is due and don’t piss in their Cheerios. Remember they will be losing one player and getting the top recruiting class in the country next season (and they only lose one starter) so Malibu is likely going to be a bloody mess next year.

Good luck to you and your family.

Sorry you took this the wrong way. I didn’t say it would be competitive. I said I was hoping. As in, I didn’t want to see a blow out. Isn’t that what we all want to see?

As for UCLA’s bracket in the tournament, you can’t deny the facts. They got an easy draw. At no point did I knock the players, coaches or anybody else. The scores against each opponent prove my point and the fact UCLA hasn’t given up a goal (as you have pointed out) proves my point as well. UCLA is firing on all cylinders right now and are at full health insofar as I can tell. Stanford is in bad shape so the Ship is there for the taking.

As you know, I am a closet fan and rooting for your player and #17 so I’m not sure where you took my comments as a knock on UCLA. I’m also bitter that the NCAA has an east coast bias and shafted Pepperdine and other west coast teams. I think USC got shafted in the seeding. I think it’s a total joke that the ACC practically got their entire conference in.

Good luck and health to you and your player. I genuinely hope you guys win.

@Swoosh you still believe this crap? @surfrider here is the post that you were referring to.

MAP--Scoreboard goes to you.

You can't deny that the end result was sort of an accident though. USC dominates first half only scoring once, misses a go ahead PK, and gets scored on 6 seconds after going up 2-1. Kudos to UCLA for their resilience.

If USC closes that game like they should have, they would have switched seeds with UCLA. Just sayin'.........

In the end, scoreboard to UCLA and MAP.

Speed taking the high road, you are one cool dude.
Happy Thanksgiving.
 
We all have Thanksgiving traditions. Some of us thank God, pray for our friends and family, and recall the blessings we have received during the past year. These are all good and worthy.

On the other hand, I see MAP's family kneeling around the dinner table, wearing PIG socks, praising Collin, and bemoaning the perceived racism and injustice that was cast in their direction the past year.

Whatever your tradition, have a great Thanksgiving and give thanks.

Changes the whole calculus without them. They had Smith and UCLA was without Fleming and Mace when they last played. Nuff said....

I’m out of the loop, is Mcgrady out for the year? JH is a good replacement, but championships are won in the back. I think that’s a huge loss. If FSU gets by PSU they have a great chance of making it to the final. Predicting a 2-1 UCLA win over FSU in the final. Tennessee is gonna give Stanford all they can handle this weekend.

Spin it how you will it still works out to UCLA winning 3 straight in the series and still dancing and the Trojans getting started on next season.

Maybe we have different perspectives on the brackets because from my view the Georgetown bracket looks like a cakewalk. The only teams that I consider when rating a bracket is how many teams in the bracket can win the whole tournament. There were only six in my opinion and 3 are in one bracket and 2 in the other.

At no point did I say you weren’t pulling for the team. Just flip the situation placing your player on the team and someone else making the comments.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Don’t know the extent of it, but they are hurting. Missing 4 starters or so with two kids we all know, and both McGrady and Haley been out the last 5-6 games.
Either way, those two and few others that’s been out won’t be at full strengths any time soon. I’d say it’s UCLA and FSU’s to lose at the moment.
 
Florida State 1
Penn State 0

FSU dominant 2nd half performance, getting the goal and denying Penn State much of any meaningful possession
 
Stanford 2-0 over Tennessee
All Stanford. Tenn was awarded a pk only to have the shot telegraphed to the keeper who said thanks for letting me know exactly where you were going
Macario on the ball is better than anyone in the ncaa and probably better than 90 percent of the nwsl
