I only ref'd 1 game on Sunday, a U19 boys rec+ game. Pretty mild actually and it was played at a decent level for rec+. I only did it as a favor to the assignor. We spent the weekend in Dallas as my daughter was on Fall break. Went to the 6th Floor Museum and to the Fort Worth Zoo.

I expect plenty of parent and coach BS this weekend though in the Blitz Tournament.
Sometimes the Ref assignor, ref and the club running the tournament should be embarrassed. Having only a center for a 4:30 9v9 top bracket game is ridiculous. BA ref assignor is garbage in the first place. A center can’t see sidelines and offsides in 9v9. This 16 year old kid should be doing 4v4 games. I didn’t have a dog in the fit so I didn’t really give 2 cents who won. (It was 2 TSC teams). Blitz tournament is a Rec+ money grab.

One less transfer from here In April. One less plane ticket and a spot on the bench for our 9 th manager. 😊The 13th scholarship player would rarely see the court. Other schools are beginning to do the same. I would have rather seen the NIL budget of each of the AAC teams and compare that with the finish in March.

lol. No. It’s because Dems had a coup and nominated an awful candidate. Because the Dems hid Biden’s mental condition until they were forced to put him on display. Because they selected a candidate who bombed the only time she ran for national office. If Harris isn’t elected it’s because Dems didn’t vote for her. Plain and simple. They show up and vote for her like they supported Biden and she is the next President of the United States. Will they vote for an unlikeable slow witted person because they have a D in front of their name? I’m still betting yes. If the Dems were honest about Biden and had an open primary we wouldn’t be in this position. Harris is the result of their dishonesty.
You’re right and the Nazis bare no responsibility for Hitler… the blackshirts none for Mussolini…. The reds no responsibility for Stalin or Mao /s

If only the opposition had ran better candidates! 😩

Stupid

2024 Election prediction/discussion

No lawpoke, if he wins it will be because he was not thrown in jail after an attempted coup by a jury filled with his accomplices, then he was allowed to run in the Republican Party primaries against a person he tried to have lynched, and he received millions of votes from gullible Republicans in those primaries and then received millions of votes from gullible Republicans in the general election.

You can not blame people who have never voted for him for him being elected and simultaneously ignore those who overlooked his every single flaw and still cast a vote for him.

That would be like blaming everyone in Weimar Germany except the Nazis for Hitler’s rise to power. “If more people had just voted against him he wouldn’t have won” is a terrible argument because it shirks personal responsibility. I can certainly imagine a Goebels trying to make that argument before being executed though.

I’m not convinced he’s going to win. If he does it will be due to Dems not coming out and supporting Harris in the same manner they did Biden. I expect the Indy vote to split about the same it did in 2020. This race is absolutely a tossup right now.

The Republican Party is about to elect a convicted criminal to the presidency of the United States. Congratulations. Washington Jefferson and Lincoln are all looking down shaking their heads.

Care to make a prediction if he’ll dance to the Imperial March from Star Wars at his inauguration?

Two national polls out today. Emerson and TIPP. Both have race tied but both show some movement toward Trump. Harris had a huge rally with Beyoncé last night in Houston hoping to help Allred in the Senate against Cruz. Both campaigns are now focused on Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. I now expect Trump to win Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Dems simply aren’t showing up to vote in this states for Harris. Dems are also having issues in Nevada but I can’t underestimate the Dem ground game there. They always seem to pull out national races.

Popular vote looks like an absolutely tossup ten days out.

Today’s game thread

ECU, FAU, and UAB I think are the winnable ones , doubtful on south Florida , but I also thought we would get blown out yesterday, so what do I know
All remaining are winnable IF they play like they did in the 2nd half yesterday. That’s a pretty big if at this point.

I’ll still be here to root and melt… unless I get some bad stuff from behind the Kiefer gas station.

Yanks in the UK & Europe

An exciting match between 2 big dogs in Serie A just concluded and a couple Yanks had footprints all over the 4-4 tie. Both Wes McKennie & Tim Weah got starts with McKennie getting assists on Juve's 1st & 3rd and Weah getting Juve's 2nd goal. Juve goes 2 goals down in the 2nd half and McKinnie's assist starts their comeback.

Pulisic and Musah did not play this weekend as Bologna had flooding and Milan's game there was postponed.
