No different than Goodell for the NFL owners. The Commissioner takes all the incoming hate so everyone else can quietly profit in the background. They're paid well for their troubles. Rinse, repeat.

Ain’t no party like a Villas little 5 party. I lived in the way back corner of the villas, it was like it’s own world.

I don’t deny it’s not all uniform - just that our folks will improve, and we should expect that, but their improvement isn’t in a vacuum. Other team’s players are getting better too. Well, at least some of them.

Every team has the opportunity to get better. That’s just something we use to talk ourselves into elevated expectations. Do we think sophomores aren’t getting Bette at UM and OSU and UI too?

Never catch a knife on its way down.

If you tried to log on to HSN this morning, you got an error code. It was NOT, however, a crash. I know, you all have PTSD! Our software provider had a rather large software update. It normally runs rather quickly, but this one not so much. In any matter, we're up now.

Might have to pick this up, sounds real interesting - I am always a fan of the 10,000 foot/500 year horizon view.

can someone tl;dr for me the TJD news and what the scuttlebutt is on his thinking?

y'all are too much 😄

I see we're still talking about the speed limits of streets in Bloomington. Must be the offseason. Fellas, take a walk.

if this becomes a "dogpile on Coach Shep and derail the entire thread" moment, I'll hand out warning points, just fyi.

don't think this thread is a good place to get into a back and forth about the correctness (or not) of the conduct of police officers.

USA has, by some measure, the youngest team in the WC. Excited to see this golden generation keep developing, especially after our lost generation immediately before them.

If we can't make it out of this group, we're much farther away than we thought we were from soccer relevance.

I'm not mad about this draw at all. We've been in group of death several times recently. Honestly, it doesn't seem like there is one this cycle, but even if there were, we ain't in it.

I don't follow the ins and outs of recruitment nearly as much as I used to. Growing up, more responsibilities, oh well. Can someone summarize where we're at with the major recruits - who are they, how many stars, who else is in competition, where does it sound like we stand, etc etc. That would be a huge help.

I promise the server won't crash

You’re in charge

Yeah I’m out, see ya at the bar, it’s St Pattys Day.

Be nice to each other and remember sports are supposed to be fun, not stressful.

Bad matchup, tired legs. On to next year. Had to make this a game in the first 4 min and it’s going the wrong way

If you knew not to post why did you do it anyway? Don’t do this.

On the bright side this puppy is loading lightning fast. No more crashes for this website

It’s March madness. Anything can happen. Need big adjustments but Woody is capable

The hamsters have been FED, they are RESTED, and we also moved to a very powerful new server so god damnit, THE LIGHTS WILL STAY on.
