I am not concerned that much with how the Buffaloes (or any team) place. I like to see players I know (and don't know) play well and have fun. I think 3thatplay's daughter will be an impact player for the Buffaloes. My daughter will not be an impact player for the Buffaloes, since her coach hopefully wants her to play for her own team. I don't think she will face your daughter this season, but it is possible.

Vague but okay. Good luck to you and your player.

And to you and yours! It will be fun to see her full speed this season. I thought there was something not quiet the same with her in the finals last season.
We will see if mine gets any play time in the Titans season opener on Friday.

2200 minutes on a detached meniscus will wear on you. To only give up 2 goals all season isn’t bad considering she played the 2nd most minutes of any field player in D1 on an injured knee for the national championship runner up. This year she is going to show how dominant she is. Thanks for the kind words I will relay them to her.

I am cheering for all of the PAC 12 and SoCal schools other than that one...

Yeah why all the vagueries? Wave your kid's team flag! Let's all root for her!

Demian is awesome. With 12 new players and some key injuries, he has his work cut out for him. The BYU game should be interesting.

He always seems to find a way. Good luck to your player in her first D1 game.

Random observation on the eve of the 2018 season:
Pretty shameful that 5 PAC 12 teams have schedules that are ranked outside of the top 100 (which is hard to do with three top 10 teams automatically on your schedule) but only one team in the top 10 most difficult schedules.
I get playing Regional opponents but some of the teams on some of these schedules are obvious cupcakes. Trying to pad your record with anything less than mid major competition just ends up coming back to bite you in so many ways.
Damn the ACC teams know how to schedule although missing conference opponents is BS.
This might not be Cal’s year. I think the real battle in the conference is going to be from 4-9. Seven teams got NCAA bids with Wazzu going to the Sweet 16 after posting a losing record in conference play.
I would hate to be Colorado and Utah this season. The scheduling genies delivering Colorado 3 consecutive games against teams that all will be in the hunt for top two seeds plus games against what will be a hungry Cal team and Utah gets to start off that same last 5 game stretch with Stanford and ending with an $C team that unfortunately will be very good and needing a win before their annual loss to that cool team in the baby blue.
My picks for the PAC 12 with an * next to teams that I think will be dancing in November.
1. UCLA *
2. Stanford *
3. U$C *
4. Arizona *
5. Colorado *
6. Cal*
7. Washington *
8. Washington State *
9. Utah
10.Arizona State
11. Oregon
12. Oregon State
A rising tide raises all ships in the conference of champions. Good health to all this season (even $C)!
