October 11, 20241 yr Yep, I got an email yesterday from US Soccer saying "Tickets are still available!"

October 11, 20241 yr That's better than I thought, but that's also tickets sold. Be interesting to see what butts in seats looks like.

That stadium is going to look brutal on tv tomorrow. Doubt it. The kickoff is well after the final whistle in Dallas. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of sports fans in Central Texas with zero affiliation to the University of Texas. It may not be a sellout, but my friend with 4 season tickets went to Tulane and then Colorado before going to SMU for law school. Bigger issue will be ACL. Still think that the stadium will be over half full. A weekend in October is always going to go up against college football & the NFL. They will be fine.

October 13, 20241 yr I think MP is gonna give guys a start and a sub role. Expect Weston and Tillman to get late minutes and start vs Mexico.
October 13, 20241 yr So nice to see a coach dressed on the sidelines that *DOESN'T* look like he just came in from mowing the yard.
October 13, 20241 yr No reason to stop play there. I don't care how nice her ass is, she's stupid af for blowing the whistle.
October 13, 20241 yr Author We look more dynamic tonight than we did under Gregg in his whole tenure.

October 13, 20241 yr Solid first outing. Feels good to have confidence that we are headed in the right direction for the first time since what, 2014?
October 13, 20241 yr Author I’ve seen more tonight that I saw in the entire tenure of Gregg. Adjustments, changes, dynamic play. I know we don’t have a “golden generation” but damn this team has talent that should have done far more than we ever did under that shit head. CHRIST they just showed Pepi’s goal- after the free kick, 3 touches and the shot. You never would have seen that under Gregg.

October 13, 20241 yr We just aren’t clinical. The one thing I’ve always thought we could do is play a mid block press and fast break. We had several this match. I’m looking forward to a few windows from now when we are more healthy and the players better have a grasp on what MP wants them to do.

I’m looking forward to a few windows from now when we are more healthy and the players better have a grasp on what MP wants them to do. I would say we aren't clinical yet. This is our first match under a real coach. But damn watching everything else you said - it was like these guys got to play with the 20 lbs weights Gregg shackled on them finally thrown away. Watching this team play with a confidence and flow, it was beyond refreshing. You see a guy like Sargent having his run. You see Balogun having his run. It's only a matter of time for us to get clinical with this team. Until then, we build and we enjoy the process.
