So, basically the B12. ACC, and PAC12 (?) are going to be 1 bid leagues. That would leave 9 teams from the SEC and B10.

1 will be G5, 1 from the 3 leagues leaving 8 between the SEC and B1G

Shots were 11-1 in favor of UNT when the game was suspended last night. Just a crazy stat line to have against UNT.

I didn't get to watch it. I put it on ESPN+ just as they were suspending the game and saw the 2-0 score line and decided to not bother with it. Shot lines and score lines like that are a surefire indication your team is using U12 tactics against college level teams. You're trying to play over the top exclusively and trying to connect with a couple of forwards who are very good and fast, which is also an indication that the coach has no idea how to coach possession and keeping the ball or is not recruiting to a high enough level where he's getting players that can play a possession based game and have the technical skill to do so.

Again, if the AD or any of his underlings are on here...it's time to move on. This coach is not up to coaching a college D1 team and a style indicative of that. I mean from what I have seen so far, they don't even try to keep the ball and work it out from the back or MF, the first ball is a long clearance ball EVERY TIME...and frequently it's to no one in particular.

By contrast, I caught a little bit of the South Carolina @ UGA game last evening. Georgia, extremely heavy in possession and shots but couldn't break through until much later. So. Carolina had a 2-0 lead and the 2nd goal was so quick on a counter attack and the build was freaking flawless, ball moved form the 6 to the outside back to the middle back to the outside on the opposite side and then a quick slot into the middle. Initial shot got blocked but came to a USc player who took 1 touch and freaking hammered home an outside of the right foot shot that curled in far post. It was one of those team goals and shots that make people go WHOA!!! Not saying we should be as good as SEC teams, but we should be able to actually be competitive with every AAC team.

Women were playing UNT last evening and were trailing 2-0 with 10 minutes left in the 1st half when the game was suspended due to the lightning in the area. It doesn't look like they were able to resume and complete the game last evening. Looks like it is set to resume at 11am today. That has got to be brutal on UNT as I am sure they were scheduled to go back to Denton last night after the game.

That said, if the new AD or any of his underlings are monitoring the board...it's time to move on from Coach Rhein. This team is really not competitive although some of their scores say they are but beating up on teams that might lose to some of the better D2 and D3 teams in the country is not an indication the team is any good. They're scoring goals somehow while being outshot almost 3.5:1 in most games and being on the short side of possession at 60:40 (which is a generous estimate). And they're not just being dominated by P4s, they're being dominated by the likes of MoState, UNT, and Rice. This, to me, is unacceptable.

The men's side is also struggling but Tom gets 2-3 years to right the ship and figure out the NIL waters because he's been successful for 30+ years in this job and has developed one of the most respected programs in the nation.

Women have a tough task this weekend taking on #10 Kansas today and #6 Purdue tomorrow. A win in either of those matches and the new AD should be lining up a contract extension for the coach with an actual buyout of some magnitude for her.

You will never get language (time limit) both the liberal and right of center states can agree upon so a constitutional amendment isn’t happening. Federal law is your best bet.

If your best bet on such a contentious topic is an inherently precarious social norm made from tenuous compromises then there will always be a lack of surety equivalent to only having a personal freedom being protected ~50% of the time or in some subsection of the country, depending on which party is in power. I don't think you can settle for that in the case such monumental personal freedoms.

I agree that strategically an amendment is unlikely, but a federal law, while better than nothing is still insufficient.

I do want to be able to reach a certain consensus rather than a compromise. It seems like there is a general consensus about abortions in cases of rape, incest, or for the imminent safety of the host. I also believe there is relative agreement about terminations earlier in the pregnancies rather than later, though I think Republican representatives went quite overboard in a number of their states' limits to that time window, past the sentiments of many of the constituents who may have voted for them.

P.S. since the Republican Party is so unabashedly resurrecting zombie political positions like states rights' in this fight, I wouldn't put it past them to try and rehash the Nullification crisis if a federal law on abortion were passed.

You are calling for a nuanced reading and understanding of what RBG. Nuance and a comprehensive understanding of her words is beyond aTUfan's abilities.

I went today and yes Garcia is just shooting. Smickle looked good and hitting some 3’s. Willis was hitting good especially from 3. Carrington wasn’t practicing he said he had a pulled hamstring
