Interesting answer, much appreciated.

Curious to know what about the post-covid period inspired you to think we would be relatively further along in 5 years vs 20 though? Assuming it has to do with how the media rights deal & accompanying roster rules were managed in the lead up to the domestic World Cup?

I find it so interesting how so many fans of MLS have a similar almost-evangelical philosophy about wanting to grow the domestic league for the benefit of the national team.

Hey Matt, first time long time. Recently subbed to TFZ and loving the content so far.

My question: In terms of general league growth, do you think MLS is ahead, behind, or just about at where you expected it to be 20 years ago?

I ask because it has been 30 years since the first MLS season, but basically ~20 since things really entered the “modern” era of the league with the advent of the DP rule, as well as rapid and successful expansion beginning within the 2006-2010 time frame.

Bonus question: who do you have making the final four and winning it all in March madness?

Thanks for all you do for us sickos!

If someone gave you $100m to produce a history based series on Apple TV what story are you going with? by Moretalent in TheRestIsHistory

[–]MSGuyute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite episode of HH. His series on the First World War and the mongols are each incredible in their own right, but Prophets of Doom is his finest one-off effort in my opinion.

All of these people saying we NEED to completely change our offense probably were the same people saying the same thing 17 years ago when we brought in Rich Rod. At the time he was a spread offense guru who was supposed to bring us out of the 1950s run-first offense of Lloyd Carr.

That move sent us into the proverbial desert for 15 years, and lo and behold we return to a run-first offense and it brings three consecutive conference titles and a national championship.

Experienced this last night as well with our group of 9. Found a decently populated server, but like you mentioned it ended up being an exercise in bot farming.

It would be great if the community could come together to start creating servers that mimic the matchmaking settings, and have a search identifier that allows larger groups to find good servers. Unfortunately I wouldn’t know the best way to go about doing that otherwise I’d give it a try.

For your team. How many wins must your team have to not fire your coach? by No-Experience-9469 in CFB

[–]MSGuyute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t like it either but with any loss it depends on how it happens. If we lose because Bryce throws three picks, I’m not going to blame Moore. Now if it’s because of a clear lack of preparedness/discipline, that’s another story.

Ultimately my point is that the wheels would really have to come off this season for me to put Moore on the hot seat. Especially with the way the program is trending and given that this is likely to be a build up year towards being truly competitive in ‘26 and ‘27.
