Re: next soccer question

Denver did a number on GQuinn. It's too bad that monstrosity of an airport 100 miles from their city center couldn't carry Denver across the finish line for the World Cup. KC as a soccer base puts Denver to shame--it's not even close. Nothing about that is headscratching. Little civic pride in KC i...

Re: next soccer question

Maybe KC will have invested in some street sweepers, or perhaps a crew to pick up dead animals on the highway by then. Yeah, I'm sure they will. When KC hosted the All-Star game several years ago, they spent quite a bit of money cleaning up the interstates, landscaping, etc. Just wish they would co...

Re: Christian Braun

There are 23,000 MIZZOU alumn in the greater KC area. There are 94,000 KU alumn in the greater KC area. Take it up with BofH. I doubt many of them went to Kansas (Missouri side). Much of KCMO is a shithole, no one should want to claim it. Hell, many of the suburbs on Missouri side are also shithole...

Re: Christian Braun

What long list of players left the Kings and got way better? Fox Haliburton Hield have done just fine. I am not solely blaming Sacramento for the failures of TRob and Ben. Even though we all agree it's a shitty franchise. Not everyone gets to play for the warriors or Spurs. In McLemores specific in...

He actually said both. Only a clip of what he said was posted.

Re: Pinch me?

National Titles are overrated. What matters are the pre-season dubs we remember for purely personal reasons and the friends we made along the way. I don't even think it's the preseason dubs. What really matters, and is the most important, are the arguments and speculation regarding what just happen...

Re: Pinch me?

KU was clearly the best team when healthy early on IMHO. But it seemed like the Dayton game exposed some offensive/defensive weaknesses in the second half. A lot of it confidence. But we really needed a healthy Remy to be the best. We saw that after the regular season again. Not to start this argum...

Re: Pinch me?

We win a title in a season where we never reached #1 in the polls prior to the tourney. We never felt like the best team. We really never played like it. And then the 2nd half of the Miami game happened and we suddenly looked like the best team still standing. I don’t recall that 08 was ever ranked...

And, maybe it's age, but even 3 weekends of the tournament just seem to fly by.
It gets faster. And less ‘meaningful’. Sorry. Still fun though.

Re: 2022-2023 Lineup

DH is that 'glue' guy that Self loves so much. See: Marcus (not one of the Twins, fuck them). As far as his 'role'. He DID play 38 min in 4 games this year. More importantly, Self is not afraid to make game-to-game decisions based on what is happening. Braun, for example, played his least amount of ...

Ticks. Covid. Fuck off. I'm calling Vamonos Pest. Seriously, though. My dad tested positive 2 days ago.

Re: Tacos v Enchiladas

There are several newer taco joints in Lawrence. I'm especially fond of the places with simple street tacos. The best. That said, I do like making me some gringo style tacos at home. That's the hard corn, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, perhaps some other stuff variety.
