# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? Yeah but do they hate ECU? Do they want to beat ECU? Bury them so deep no one will find them? Can they not stand ECU fans telling them that they won the last time they played? (Mostly referring to NC State, would take them from little brother to middle brother). That sounds like a rivalry to me, and it would definitely become one if they were in the same conference.
Start of the 2015 Gold Cup. Should the US win the Gold Cup, they will automatically qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia. Should the US not win the GC, they will play the GC winner for the right to represent CONCACAF in the Confederations Cup.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? The rest of the Carolina schools would strongly dispute the notion that they have a rivalry with ECU.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? I agree, UVA would be the only major rivalry left and I would miss playing Miami and GT. And ECUs rivalry inclusion would be NC State and other Carolina schools not us. My whole idea for this is based on all the conferences so the sell wouldn't be specific to Tech.
Also, the US men play tomorrow night.
Need to use those stats on the recruiting trail when talking with high-profile recruits.
Another fun fact, the Women's World Cup has only been around since 1991, meaning there have been 7 tournaments. The US has finished Top 3 in every tournament, three 1st place, one 2nd place, and three 3rd place. No other country has finished Top 3 more than 3 times.
We'll just make one change on September 8th, to 733.
Just me thinking out loud, but if AM isn't progressing as well as we need him to before the season, does Bud have a contingency plan for the Mike position? Seems to me we could slide Clarke into the Mike and have a healthy RVD take over Backer, especially considering how rarely the whip is utilized lately. Can anyone speak to how interchangable, if at all, the linebacker positions might be? I definitely think AM has all the tools to be good, but if he's a liability in stopping the run and timid stepping into the hole, we could have a big weakness in the middle of the defense. Hopefully he can continue to progress.
Saw the Stones at Indy Motor Speedway. Ate some barbecue. Drank several craft beers. Watched stuff explode.
No worries, Olympics is next year as the women go for a 4th gold in a row (and 5th overall)... Slightly impressive, as this will be only the 6th time Women's Soccer has been a part of the Olympics. And our only non-gold was a silver when Norway beat us in extra time in 2000.
Play the starters on special teams. We do that, and we'll be fine.
All of them did
I guess I mean, more often*
*After September 7th only
This is the one area of our defense that I have legitimate concerns. Andrew seems to have the tools and brains for the position, it just seems that he is timid stepping into the hole. Though it is a small sample size, the run by Trey in the spring game really scared me. What should have been a loss turned into a touchdown. If he attacks like that against anOSU, it could be a very long night. Hopefully he builds some confidence and starts flying to the football with an attitude. We shall see.
That game was glorious!! Carlie freakin Lloyd!! WOW!! I couldn't be more proud
of these women. They had the entire USA feeling like they were a part of the team.
Now I am slightly sad it's over.

I've already showed you the statistics where I got that assertion from and then further supported my statement with other evidence, so... Not solely based on my opinion. Wasn't exactly a #hottake or anything.
That wasn't even the main point of what I was saying anyway. Cut it however you like, but he was a great deep ball receiver last year and I have not personally seen evidence that ECU will be able to easily replace him. Brown, the receiver mentioned, had similar yards per reception numbers but was not nearly as efficient/proficient at actually catching the balls that came his way- the yards per attempt numbers were a fair bit lower.
