There's no rush for a full match yet. I'd be more inclined to play him with the starters in the 1st half and sub him off at halftime. You need to see what you have with the starters and the chemistry under Poch's system. Adams takes so much pressure off of CBs because he's so good defensively at stopping attacks in the MF.

Looking forward to seeing a better performance from TU tonight. Cautiously optimistic. Odom is a good addition for TU.

Agree a bit. But I think the early panic comes from the last several years and not just this exhibition game. But this game brought on the fear of "oh no, we suck again" mentality and I understand it. I know it was "just an exhibition game" and we were maybe trying different things. I even read above someone pointed out that maybe we let it be a close game for more experience. If that is true, we do have the wrong coach again. We should be using these games to get a feel for winning games. Unfortunately to me, it feels like another year of the same. I hope not.

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.

Did MTSC ever make any progress in their effort to have a competitive division ?

I don't understand how any of you are taking an exhibition game with anything more than a grain of salt. If you are predicting our season off an exhibition game...that's weak. See how they do Monday and then start forming opinions. If you picked your superbowl champion by their preseason record you would have the wrong team almost every single year.

Exhibition games are just that. Exhibitions. We will see how they are tonight. Our first exhibition we dominated. This one we dominated the first part, then we didnt. It could have been multiple reasons. Konkol could have wanted the other team to get back in it so he could see how his team responded in tough situations. He could have been running certain plays to see if we can pull them off. He could have running defense in a way that didnt fit the game but to see if his players would adjust. There are many reason in a exhibition game to leave it as just that. Never look deeply into them win or lose.

I refereed some games at MTSC this weekend. Handed out 2 yellows, 1 in a U12 game for SPA (Stopping a promising attack), and 1 in a U14 game for SPA. The U14 game was interesting because I went in with the mindset that one team was just not going to be competitive at all but was wrong, sort of. Team lost 5-0 still but missed a number of chances on goal and also missed 2 PKs they were awarded. 1st was for a handball in the box, pretty clear and even the coach of the defending team told his player to move past it, those things happen. 2nd one was a hard foul in the box by the keeper. Came out to clear a ball and whiffed and cracked the attacker in the shin. Everyone saw it and everyone heard it....luckily in rec the kids aren't trying to wear the micro shin guards so the contact was with the shin guard but it still hurt...kid went down.

1st game was a u12 girls game and one team had some players who, with proper coaching, could probably play at one of the competitive clubs and be really good.

Selzer has a long history of extremely accurate polling in Iowa. I find it hard to believe she would jeopardize her reputation with an intentional wrong poll. However if she’s off by more than 2-3 points I firmly believe based on her history it’s deliberate. We shall see.

Her forecast is based heavily on unexpectedly high early voter turnout for Harris amongst Protestant and non religious women in her own demographic in the populated areas of Iowa. I’m not sure if that translates over to how voters behave in the Catholic working class areas of the Pittsburgh suburbs and Pennslytucky rural areas. We shall see if there’s confirmation bias in her methods soon enough.

FWIW, Iowa always closes late for Republicans and she knows that. If she’s calling it by 3, then that means she would need to believe it’s 6 to 7 points, at least, in favor of Harris in early voting. And the numbers just don’t support that.

I’m not saying I know what is happening. I’m saying she couldn’t know. And if she says she knows, she either taken a huge risk or a huge bag, or both.
