      I start to worry when the basics can't even be accomplished by these players. Players couldn't even trap the ball from a pass directly to their feet, then giving up the ball. Drove me nuts watching the game and Bedoya trying to trap the ball wide open and it going 10 feet from his body giving it up.

      Kudos to Jamaica though, that free kick was beautiful. The throw in goal was just piss poor goal keeping and marking.

      Yeah, throughout this whole tournament there was just a little bit of energy missing in the US team's play. Except for Cuba, every other game it felt like the other team was bringing intensity that the US wasn't really matching. I was hoping as it went on the US would just kick into form...but they didn't, and finally got punished for it.

  3. How odd: ‏@slmandel Steve Spurrier went 44-40 in the SEC at South Carolina and could get a parade. Mark Richt is 80-36 at Georgia and could get his car keyed.

      Harbaugh would get a free pass at 2-4!?! The stuff made up to excuse Riley is dumbfounding.

    3. Landlord

      Michigan was predicted to have a 7-6 ish season by almost everyone preseason. Harbaugh would absolutely have a very cushy grace period even if his team was below .500

    4. QMany

      QMany

      Are we comparing the team that went 5-7 to the team that went 9-4? Harbaugh's coaching has improved his team, Riley's has not. If Harbaugh was to have done worse than 5-7, he would have been given no free pass, much like how Riley shouldn't get one. .

      LePage opted not to resign, in more news today. Instead, he's declared he will no longer speak to the media again. Ever.

      X number of years after we fight over what name to give Obamacare.

       

      The rhetoric is significant though. Keep the bill but change the name and we make public option less viable because we will understand this as a rejection of the ACA.

      So fundamentally it seems like a question of entrenching the current system vs moving forward to even more govt. Former is winning and we'll be lucky to stanch the bleeding at the status quo. Sad.

      Considering we had folks from the selection committee in attendance at the Nebraska/Penn State game (and the same folks at the Kansas game), I think as long as we either win or make the Michigan game come down to the wire (assuming they get by the Illinios/Iowa winner), we're in. 

      Honestly, we should already be in as-is. We just don't have the name cache for basketball that other B1G schools have...but here's hoping this wasn't a one-year fluke again, and SMiles can actually build on this success for next year.

      Brandt is an old NFL GM and personnel guy. He is pretty in-tune with the coaching moves that go on nowadays.

      The cynic in me says this was a make-up penalty for previous offenses. They don't need her for the '15 World Cup or the '16 Olympics anymore.

       

      I thought the comments were really poor. But if there were a time she deserved to have her contract terminated, seems like it should have been earlier and not after saying some things she should apologize for.

      @LOMS, after 9/11 the US declared a state of national emergency, which confers certain powers to for example the executive branch as necessary in crisis.

       

      That crisis has been ongoing for closing in on twenty years now. And so have these crisis-time authorities.
