Out To Party
And here is the reason why. If anything groundbreaking happens in terms of Football recruiting or the imminent implosion of the earth and/or the Big East via blackhole I will try to get something up to give a final opinion on the destruction of the planet I reluctantly inhabit via a...
Quick Notes
The last week has been busy as hell for me so I missed a couple of stories involving UC sports in general. The UC Baseball team was knocked out of the Big East tournament with consecutive defeats to UConn by a score of 9-6 and Pitt by a score of 13-4. I have to be perfectly honest here, I don't...
Bruno Soriano for La Roja, pt. 1
Plaintiff's opening argument: The debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in Illinois in the 1860s spawned one slave emancipator, two major-party presidential candidates, and legions of high school followers. Sadly, our debate on the best holding midfielder for La Furia Roja will not...
I'll be rooting for Mexico
Hi, I'm an American supporter who will now be rooting for Mexico. I know that will sound odd to some of you, and that still confuses me. Granted, Mexico is our biggest rival. In the world of American sports, we don't normally root for the teams we call rivals, no matter the circumstance. Maybe...
GameThread: U.S. takes on Ghana
With a win today, the U.S. Men's Soccer Team would advance to the World Cup quarterfinals for just the third time in its history -- and for just the second time since 1930. Standing in their way is a Ghana team that now represents Africa's last hope for a deep run. So far, African nations have...
World Cup: USA vs Ghana - Can We Do It?

How Big Was That WIN?
I think that's an easy question to answer, but the answer exists on so many levels. Big Enough that I will be co-hosting an hour of soccer talk on KJR-AM (that's 950) with Dick Fain. This will include World Cup talk, some listener calls and Taylor Graham. Eight PM Tonight! Logically it wasn't...
WORLD CUP: An off-topic poll
Yeah, so not Cougar related. But...um...AMERICA!!
USA in a Must Win; or a Draw and some Help - Seriously, just WIN
Just after 7 AM Pacific Time the USA will take on the supposed minnow of Group C for the opportunity to advance into the knockout rounds of this World Cup. To do so they will face a team with a very clear identity. The Algerian National Team is French, and Arab, and African. Its best players play...
USA v Slovenia Team Cards, Preview and Open Thread
For the last match I wished for the impossible, and only received the unlikely. Today one of these teams moves from hopeful to almost certainly through to the knockout stages. Sure the math says that a tie still gives the USA a shot, but Slovenia would be at 4 points and could play for the nil-nil....
