Well that’s dumb.
It was total horseshit IMO. Keeper had the line to the ball all the way. Lame. Should have ended in a tie.

Revised pac 12 predictions-
1)usc
2))cal
3)UCLA
4) ASU
After watching Stanford lose to a very average Oregon team there’s a chance they might not make it into the tournament if they don’t win vs. OSU.

Game to watch-
SMC vs. Pepperdine
Rationale-
-SMC looked as good as Oregon vs. a common opponent , SAC State. Oregon beat Stanford and Pepp lost to Stanford.
-play at home
-better coach at SMC than previous ones
Pepperdine seems to have trouble with SMC in Moraga for some strange reason.

Did you watch the UO v Sac State game? Not sure too many conclusions can be drawn from that one (and certainly not at game that would gather non-friends/non-family members to the stream of Sac State’s feed)
Interesting that USC is #1 in your assessment despite a loss and ASU moves to #4 b/c they beat USC but Stanford drops all the way out. You may be right - w/o a non-conference bunch of games to do some assessing, there may be wild shifts on a game-by-game basis. I’d expect Stanford to dispatch OSU pretty easily.

Yeah I watched the rugby match between the two.
Your dd is doing well in the box and btw.
Stanford on paper looks great (all those WNT players) but I saw a lot of uncharacteristic unforced turnovers by Stanford. Picket looked great out there but she was even guilty of passing to the other team unforced. If OSU sits back Stanford will have to be precise to crack that.

USC was caught early I think on a set piece. Happens.
Stanford has been down 2x already by 2 goals this year! That’s a concern. I know Girma is out but it’s next WNT player up so no excuses. Maybe players have injuries?
What I took for the sac state game was sac did a good job w team defense. Clearly they wanted to muck the game up on that cow pasture and they did.

Things can change as it's only two games, but Stanford has looked anemic finishing their chances. Their service in the 2nd half of OU was ugly - corners, crosses, and chips to the middle - except for Pickett. All that possession doesn't mean much if you can't finish.

I hope the Pepperdine MF is ok. Looked bad.

GO BEAVS!
WNT does not necessarily mean anything. Stanford reign over in my estimation. Parody all over the PAC 12 this season with the Bears having solid chance at taking the whole thing. Agree with DK tho... We might see wild results this season. Either way it will be fun to watch.

Bears will be eliminated by the 2nd or 3rd place WCC team again!
Bears look better than Stanford this year. Sac state had Oregon on the ropes. Oregon 2-0 over Stanford. All fingers point to the young recruits on the field for Stanford as to the reason for their poor results.
We'll see.
If they manage to break their longstanding trend of early elimination during this testy time of accusations against the coach, I'll be impressed and also happy for the program. I just don't understand why they don't perform better...its such a great school!
Agree. Hopefully the cycle is broken now and into the coming seasons...

WCC this weekend will be telling.
Santa Clara heads to BYU. BYU should win this one. 3-1
Pepperdine travels to Stockton. Given their performance in Moraga a few weeks ago my upset meter is up as Pacific is playing better soccer with their new coach . Pepp should pull this one out in the end. 2-0
Portland travels to USF. Loser is eliminated for any chance at post season play. I see a tie, 1-1.
USD travels to SMC, who is also playing better. SMC win this one. 1-0
LMU travels to Gonzaga and wil be whipped by at least 2 goals. 2-0
My question, will the ZAGs have a breakthrough this year and take 2nd?
