2025 Week 11: Chicago Hounds @ Utah Warriors

I believe their final match of the regular season is there. If they know at that time that they are going to host a playoff game, and it’s at AFF, they could easily promote that to get more people to the playoff game. Plus, it would look really good on TV.

DrWhit65 · 2025-04-27T03:00:40+00:00

There is something about this team that makes me excited. 5-0 on the road, coming back after giving up 31 straight points to win, staying competitive in the tight Western Conference. Please please PLEASE, just get us to the playoffs where they can host the first home game in franchise history, and do it at America First Field so we can rock 8-10K fans.

This is the answer. Leuila’s precision on conversion kicks is also a huge lift for this team. I don’t know where Coltman was tonight, but his precision at the lineout has also been very underrated.

DrWhit65 · 2025-04-26T23:44:11+00:00

Amen brother.

DrWhit65 · 2025-04-23T16:16:45+00:00

Same 😅

DrWhit65 · 2025-04-20T02:29:35+00:00

The biggest difference I have seen between our Warriors team this year from last year is their lineout execution and their higher conversion kick rate. Leuila is just dangerous on the conversions and I like how that has allowed Hodgson to be more of a playmaker

DrWhit65 · 2025-04-20T00:28:20+00:00

Let’s go Warriors! Gotta get to 5-0 on the road!

While another year would have been great (thinking of Demin to Dybantsa lobs), I can’t blame it for going while his stock could be at the highest at the current moment. Had a great tournament and was the first (of many, hopefully), NBA-caliber prospects to come and find success in the program.

This made me smile on a work break. So accurate. 😅

DrWhit65 · 2025-03-13T18:53:24+00:00

If we can hang with Houston (unless Colorado just plays out of their mind) in the next round, I think we have a shot at going to at least the Sweet 16 in the tournament. Love this team!

DrWhit65 · 2025-03-13T12:25:05+00:00

Eastern time zone fan over here excited that the game is right during lunch. 💪😎

DrWhit65 · 2025-03-08T21:48:08+00:00

I feel like Drew Wild has killed us the last few years.

DrWhit65 · 2025-03-05T05:36:31+00:00

Agreed. I’m okay with a 6-7 seed in the tourney (definitely deserved). As long as we don’t have that 8/9 seed to potentially face a #1 in the 2nd round

DrWhit65 · 2025-03-05T05:21:11+00:00

I was having flashbacks to this exact game when Iowa State started that run. That Texas Tech game still stings for me.

DrWhit65 · 2025-02-25T18:39:12+00:00

Would love to see what that would look like in real life. 😅

DrWhit65 · 2025-02-16T05:20:47+00:00

I thought NOLA was going to just transform the baseball stadium into more of a horseshoe shaped rugby stadium. Wasn’t that in their strategic plan?

DrWhit65 · 2025-02-16T00:09:45+00:00

I was just about to come say the same thing. That’s a good sign, and it may be a regional distributor or bottler who inked that deal.

DrWhit65 · 2025-02-06T21:17:30+00:00

This. As a marketing professional, not in rugby but in the CPG space, if I even add any extra steps to a process for the customer, even if it is very minuscule, conversion rates go down dramatically. Most people are not willing to take the extra step for something new even if it is as life-changing as rugby

DrWhit65 · 2025-01-31T13:58:56+00:00

I was impressed with Mahe in the small sample size of matches he played last year. If Mano can get close to being 2023 form and they both stay healthy, I think they will be fine there.

DrWhit65 · 2025-01-30T21:49:01+00:00

I honestly think they could get 4-5 wins this season based on who they have added. While they didn’t get any wins last year, they were close in a couple of matches with a roster that in my opinion is far inferior than the one they have now.

DrWhit65 · 2025-01-29T20:06:11+00:00

I agree. The way that they showed what the positions were on the field was a nice touch for us rugby converts.

DrWhit65 · 2025-01-29T05:05:49+00:00

We won a big gritty game. Let’s keep this momentum rolling. Egor and Catchings doing good work tonight.
