If you don't mind a bit of a walk, you can park for free on the street on Innovation Drive, off of California Avenue. Not a big deal for a one-off game, but back in the days of CSL Premier it saved $10 every weekend.

It's not that big of a deal as it's only one game. I will give up the $10 because my 10 year old will complain about walking (he already complains about having to give up his Sundays having to go see his sister play). Thanks for the tip.
Good luck to you and your player this season.

Let's see. Stanford's first unit will be as formidable offensively as ever. The real question will be how will they defend. Penn State is definitely going to ask that question and their defense will be slightly better than Missouri. The Cardinal has definitely done nothing to dispel the notion that they are going to be in their 4th straight College Cup, this one in their own backyard.
Answers are coming soon. Looks like they upgraded in between the pipes. I am curious as to who is going to play in the midfield. My wish is for them to play Macario at the 10. Get her far away from the net. She can definitely create for her teammates but against the best teams she is much more effective hugging the backline. The Florida States, UCLA's, Penn States and North Carolina's of the world are good enough on the backline to prevent her from doing much from anywhere other than an advanced position. With Smith, Haley and Kuhlman as forward options let's hope that Paul gets greedy and tries to have all of his sports cars on the track at the same time.
The only way anyone is going to beat them is to make them use their young bench and to attack their defense. Losing Davidson, Cook and McGrady cannot be understated. 3 first round talents that have been playing together for 3 years is significant. Keep an eye on the defense...

Thanks and good luck to yours as well. We will be watching some of the Stanford and UCLA games this season.
I would always pull into Lot 6 off of W. Peltason to drop everyone off, then go and park and walk back. As soon as the game would end, I would walk back to the car and pick everyone up in Lot 6. Luckily, DD's school does not charge parking on weekends.

I know it's only the pre-season but I think Marcario will be the runaway winner of the Mac Herman this year.

From what I saw on Twitter they mixed up their starters with their subs. It appears that only 22 of 25 on the roster played. Their roster is talented from top to bottom. It will be interesting to see who they put in the midfield. That is their big question mark. Dibiasi, Bossiere and Xiao are 3 huge losses...

It's the preseason dude. Lot's of soccer to play. You might have just jinxed her. Let's wait to see what happens against Penn State and West Virginia on the road next weekend. Missouri is worse than Oregon State FYI and might even be worse than St. Mary's.....

Yes-- coaches seemed to really mix up some veterans/starters with freshman and/or bench for two of the 30 mins and then the 3rd 30 min. -- each group of 11 played another 15 minutes, so everyone that was able played 45 full minutes, which was nice.
Paul is figuring it all out!!
Stanford lost a ton of amazing seniors, but have nice talent coming it with the freshman and those that sat out last year due to injury/redshirt/etc....should make for a fun, interesting and quite competitive season!
We've all said it many times before..."Welcome to the HUNGER GAMES!!"
It's on and here we go...ready for a wild ride as always...
Good luck to DD's playing their first games this weekend!! Exciting! Here's to all staying healthy and injury free!

My DD scrimmaged WV over the weekend, and it's only a scrimmage, but she said they didn't look as good as the year before in the same first scrimmage of the year. Stanford will handle them easily, but Penn State will make it interesting.

CSUF did a camp last week at the Olympic training center. DD said she met some Olympians, but did not realize until afterwards when she saw their picture on the wall. I told her that was a good thing since she just acted normal when she met them.

Why bump the thread and not let it die? I told you nothing would come of it. Are you hoping that something will come of it? What is your motivation? Nothing is going to happen. All heads that will roll have rolled. I guess my question is can you get over it?
I sense a little Hatorade. Is that correct?

No hate, just would like to know the full story.

It isn't what you think. That is why nobody has gotten in trouble for anything other than the parties who have already gotten the book thrown at them. Why not just enjoy the work product of these amazing young women, none of which were ever implicated or could possibly be involved? You know how our sound bite society is. Always looking for somebody to go down. These are some amazingly wonderful young women who did nothing wrong. Please let it be. Nothing new is coming regarding them.

I will be gone soon enough. Come December I'm retiring my account, heading on vacation and my player will be moving on to bigger and better things. I will have done my job of paying forward the good advice that I received years back from many who have since moved on from this forum.
Good luck to you and your player this season and beyond.

That is just it, I don't think it was anything, I don't know. I do think there is more to the story. I never said anything negative about the players. They are an amazing group of young women and I wish them all the success in the world.
While you have a lot of useful information, unless you have seen the emails, you cannot know any more than we do since your only of other source of information (the UCLA Athletic Department) could be involved in a cover-up. AC is a great coach, but at the very least she suffered an extreme lapse of judgement to include someone that was not on the team on the published roster and to allow someone who otherwise would not have been admitted to get an athletic admission. For the team's sake, I hope that is all it was. If that is what it is, who pressured her to do that?

Again you have no idea what you are talking about and I know exactly what I was told. I have never been deceived by anyone involved with my alma mater in 27 years of dealing with them.
Just because you don’t know the details doesn’t mean that I don’t. It doesn’t involve you so again why do you care? You can keep being TMZ curious but as I said waaaaay back when it started nothing is going to happen.
You are barking up the wrong tree. My kid is a senior and will be done in 4 months. The coaching staff is awesome.
I saw Damian’s name come up. Why don’t you share CSUF’s involvement in the situation? What was Damian up to? Did he get paid off?
You seem to be better than this. Let’s drop it and move on.

As I said. I don't know anything other than what was in the paper. I would like to know more. This does not involve you or your daughter or any of the other players. So back at you, why do you care that others are curious?
