That game will be Ole Miss’s season. Little sister gonna little sister**
Big Soccer Game this evening at Georgia
- Thread starter Dawgg
- Start date
Great match. After we equalized it was just a matter of time. We pretty much dominated.
It won’t matter. They used to be a good program. But we’ve dominated that series the last 4 years. And after their coach went to Oklahoma, they’ve been awful. Our left back is from an Ole Miss family & started 3 years there before she saw the light & transferred.
Still got a tough makeup match at South Carolina if it gets made up. But should get 9 points from MO, MS & KY and at least a point at A&M & host all 4 NCAA tournament rounds before the Final Four. But there’s several really strong ACC teams out there we will struggle against.
We should have tied Wake. One of their goals was a fluke in a 2-1 loss.
UNC and Duke are both very good and Florida State is the defending champion. I caught Virginia Tech coming back from 2-0 down against them. We are much better than VT.
Stanford is a lot like us. They could definitely win the ACC but they could finish fifth. As of right now, I think we are the 3 national seed behind UNC and Wake and ahead of Duke.
We were outplayed in that game. Wake had 18 shots (10 on goal) to our 8 (4 on goal). ACC is a much tougher league than the SEC is. We will struggle against any of the top ACC teams. But we should be a top 8 seed, and possibly a top 4 seed.
I want y’all to know that I took one for the team tonight. I have watched almost every minute this team has played all season, but after the first half, I knew I needed to stop watching, so despite, again, watching almost this entire season, I turned off the TV, made a defeatist post, and took my kids to the local pumpkin patch. 45 minutes later, we have the lead and subsequently a win.
So while, yes, there were some absolutely stunning individual performances from Main, Johnson, and Izquierdo, as well as a couple of killer saves by Anderson, we all know that I deserve all the credit for creating the karmic balance needed to turn this game around.
Am I a hero? Well, I think we live in an age where that word is used a little too loosely, but yes, yes, I am a hero.

We appreciate your sacrifice. Now stay away the rest of the season.
History will be the judge of that. Was it a fluke or will you ever be known as the fan who gave his all by not watching? Only time will tell…
First committee reveal is Thursday (Oct 17) at 6 central on ESPNU. We’ll know a lot more about where we stand then. We just can’t get caught slipping against Mizzou.
Duke beat Stanford and UNC beat Cal tonight. WF doesn’t play again until Oct 19. Ohio State and Iowa both lost and Michigan State tied… again (their 5th). So add that to our #3 RPI rank and, to me, we should be clearly in the top 4. Hopefully, the committee agrees.
I honestly expect there to be more of us than them in the stands for that game.
If some of y'all aren't soccer fans and find yourself enjoying this, give it a try at the higest level. Pick one of the big four leagues; England, Spain, Italy, or Germany; and watch a few games. You can get all those on US TV now. Do a little digging and pick yourself a team. Give it a little run, you never know, you might like it.
The difference in quality of play is incredible.
I hate to missed tonight. When do we have the next game televised?
I'm very proud of these ladies.
I've tried a few times and for me it's just a solid N and O.
I understand futbol. Watch it more than most Americans. Played it until HS, when I decided I liked Run&PassBall much better.
I enjoy the highlights of great players making great plays, but it is just a very boring sport for the vast majority of the games for me. I simply cannot watch it on a consistent basis. I will absolutely watch the biggest games with the best players and I will definitely watch this State team. But that's the extent of it.
I'm happy we have this team for those of you who love it.
