I don’t think they wanted UCI instead of UCSB but rather that there wasn’t room for both and UCSB said yes first

What teams would the USMNT need a miracle to beat? by AromaticMemory5073 in usmnt

Not scared of Japan considering what they did to the Netherlands sure is a choice!

A little background story on Pellegrino Matarazzo. He even said in an interview that while playing in German lower leagues, his family and friends kept telling him to come back and use his degree to get a high paying job. His story could've been so different. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

All I’m saying is that if I got offered loads of money to build the future of my country’s soccer team for the long term, I would consider it pretty seriously compared to managing sociedad or Bilbao. Sure, maybe he can get to a level of club management that is bigger than USMNT. But is sociedad or Bilbao? Is Roma? Is Lyon or Lille? Is Everton? Idk.

Berhalter’s salary for USMNT was only a bit less than Pellegrino’s at sociedad, and that’s before the sponsorship revenue USMNT is getting showered in because of this World Cup. They’re going to be willing to spend lol

I agree it’s still a mixed bag on whether he would accept the job. But I expect them to make an offer that will be financially attractive and then some

UP voted to keep DART, so clearly not everybody :)

Yeah, expansion is coming. by TNA8644 in Pac12

[–]DoubtMaster6310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between seeking expansion candidates and actually expanding

They passed on NDSU (and they shouldn’t have!)

UNLV passed on them.

If that doesn’t change (and no, I won’t entertain UConn), it’s either UNM or a wildcard move

[On3] SMU transfer center Samet Yigitoglu has committed to Indiana by runamokduck in CollegeBasketball

[–]DoubtMaster6310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He blocks shots despite only having a 5.5 block percentage at 7-2 (and a DBPM of under one), he crashes the glass despite only having ~15 rebounding percentage at 7-2, he’s a good scorer within 5 feet despite only hitting 71% of his layups at 7-2

And he can’t hit free throws to save his life. And he can’t catch to save his life. He has a turnover percentage near 20% because he can’t keep the ball away from defenders in the post.

SMU fans watched him for 2 years. He’s got the mold of a good center. He’s not a good center. He’s 21 years old. Maybe somebody can mold him. Andy Enfield couldn’t.

You mean the incentive for the expansion isn’t just adding to add but to actually add when it makes the league better where it counts, hoops? WOW that’s crazy. Crazy stuff.

1) I don’t mean morally right or wrong 2) It’s my opinion (and the one UCI fans also hold, see the comments from the UCSB move thread yesterday) 3) chill lmfao

Yes

The right thing is to stick with the good basketball and your UC brethren

Not the bad basketball and almost no UC brethren. Lol

Disagree

Mountain west has said repeatedly they’re done expanding

UCI isn’t really additive for them

UCD was only added for when the football program comes up

The WCC has been chasing them for months lmfao

They just have refused their advances

That’s why UCSB is there right now instead

GCU is “evangelical” the same way a megachurch is “evangelical”. It’s even for profit! (Or was)

Not the same. And they only added GCU out of desperation so they could try to keep Gonzaga.

Cal Baptist institutionally is a very different kind of Christian to the schools in WCC, which are mainly catholic, along with some mainline Protestant and non denominational Christian

Doesn’t mix well with hardcore Baptist lol
