Tulsa vs Arkansas state predictions

Yes there are a couple that picked us to win.

There’s one guy who’s hell-bent on sticking to his guns that central ark is better than Tulsa (and several other teams in the sunbelt)… just not the mindset I’d have if we’d just lost (or damn near) to an fcs team. When we lost to an fcs several years ago, I wasn’t sure we’d win another game all year.

Not that it matters and we should have won easily, but wasn't that the game we had like 18 guys suspended because of the brawl?

When the term fossil fuel was coined oil was primarily used as a lubricant. The term fossil fuel is to give the impression that something living had to die for it to exist. That’s not true, though.

Okay buddy,

I am a licensed professional engineer with degrees in Petroleum Engineering and Geoscience. I have worked alongside numerous other engineers, geologists, land men, attorneys, regulators, governors, oil company VP’s and CEO’s. Many with decades of experience.

I have family members who were in the petroleum industry since the 40’s who are / were directors of Geology, Engineering, and Land Management and have worked across the globe. Continental US, Russia, North Africa, Middle East, North Sea, South America.

You are wrong. Petroleum products are created from carbon. The most prevalent sources of carbon on the planet are biological, from algae all the way to fibrous plants. Most of the world’s oil and gas is biologic from its genesis. (Mainly from historic algae / sea growth buried for millions of years at high temp / pressure)

I never thought that Ark St was a peer. How low have we sunk?

Ark State probably does consider us as a peer but the feeling isn't mutual. From their perspective, the all-time series is tied and we do give them a Home-Home series on occasion.

One thing we haven't done is reschedule the canceled Covid game at their place. We rescheduled both of our home games from that season (NW LA and Toledo) but I doubt that Ark State will get a makeup game from us.

Anecdotally, I’ve yet to speak with a mature female (I’ve asked virtually all I know who are vaccinated) who received the vaccine & didn’t have it mess with their cycle. Some went months without a period, one went over a year.

There’s a reason Tinder includes it on their profiles.

If the supporting political ideology & the one generally against it were switched, people would definitely be celebrating the not so natural extinction of conservatives. However, I don’t know any conservatives who celebrate this. Sometimes it’s mentioned a few people might joke about it but it’s never sincere. It’s awful. We wish this on no one. Each misled liberal has the right to change their mind, to join the Great Awakening.

It has been my experience that people who refer to them as "female" instead of "women" are also usually the exact same set of people that wonder why they have so much trouble maintaining relationships with "females".

Nothing else here warrants a response.

This post is the hope of USMNT vs true apathetic reality

Considering Chelsea wanted to move on and they negotiated a lower buyout than what was originally in the contract. But now Chelsea has been under scrutiny for their spending and I believe they are under investigation for the FFP rules in the EPL. Seems like every club is under investigation for the FFP. Chelsea certainly can buy their way out of it (something about the parent company selling off assets to other companies under their umbrella and showing a profit and income vs just a shifting of assets within the same org) but smaller clubs seem to get dinged and hit with points reductions while City gets to continue spending more than they bring in year upon year.

Anyway, back to Pochettino, once they finish the buyout negotiation, he will sign his contract for USMNT. He has a chance to make a huge mark on his legacy with this job and I think that's the challenge for him. I don't think he did a bad job at Chelsea but when the previous couple of coaches totally screwed up the locker room and roster (Tuchel was a cancer and should never be allowed to manage a team again) it was hardly an opportunity for Poch to be successful there. And Poch certainly was good at Spurs but Spurs fans and ownership is completely unrealistic when it comes to results. Top 4 in EPL should be a goal for any side, but somehow not good enough for Spurs. They weren't going to ever get past City and the $$$$$ they spend. And Liverpool; both of which had superior overall talent and 2 of the best managers on the planet right now.

Looking forward to seeing what Poch can do. I'd also expect Haji Wright and Sargent to get more looks as Poch seems to favor the big target 9s. Pulisic and Weah should absolutely thrive in his system.

Chelsea's American ownership is trying to do some Moneyball stuff, throwing darts at the wall and hoping one in 100 works out by spending less. They hope to find a diamond in the rough for cheap sustainability, using those sustainability words while raising ticket prices, claiming to care about all their fans, and pushing to have half their games in Dubai. There are a bunch of memes out there about how Chelsea's cafe has 500 people in during lunchtime. Good luck, boys! Cole Palmer isn't everywhere. I wonder if Ponch fought it.

Looking forward to the soccer updates for the Tufts Fighting Elephants and especially Z. Yeah…I looked up the mascot :).

Fighting Jumbos to be accurate. Story is PT Barnum preserved his famed elephant Jumbo through taxidermy and donated her to Tufts. Stuffed elephant was a fixture in the library until a devastating fire destroyed all but the tail, which was saved by a professor who went into the fire to try and "rescue" Jumbo but only the tail remained. I believe the tail is still on campus. In honor of Jumno, Tufts had a bronze sculpture of her made and it stands outside the library (it's pretty damn cool actually) and that's how Tufts became the Jumbos as the nickname/mascot.

I always love cool stories about how schools got mascots/nicknames like this one and Tulsa's

Not really a youth soccer post, but my son made one of the Tufts club soccer teams (they have 2). They compete intercollegiately and each of the two has made the national tournament within the last 5 years. Out of the 70 or so new students that tried out, they took 12 and my son is one of the 4 GKs between the two teams. His team is designated the A team but he says that's just a differentiator between the 2. Greek life is not a big thing at Tufts so this is a good thing for him to get connected (I don't think he'd even consider Greek life but who knows) and he seems to already have bonded with many team players as they had a club BBQ at one of the upperclassman's apartment yesterday.

Glad he gets to continue playing. And he always likes going into situations like this knowing no one knows him or his game and he will be evaluated solely on his playing ability. I'll share a schedule when we know and anyone in the New England area should stop by and watch.

Good stuff. I wish they had club soccer when I was at TU. I think it would have been a ton of fun. I know the team even won the national title at one point.
