For those who want/care/can. June 12 is a Sat. Right now the plan is Hooligans in the Latta Arcade uptown. The US v Eng match starts at 2.

I suggest getting there about 3hrs or earlier before. Word of caution to the casual fan. If you wear something US related, expect major heckling from the Brits. Be prepared to be amazed at the audacity of the 3 Lions fans and how they will dance to just about anything. Be amazed the sheer scope of alcohol consumed. Be amazed at the sheer need for dental work as well.

If you are in, let me know so I can keep coordinating with some other folks. Right now we are close to 20.

Even if you hate the sport, come on down and party and learn about the beautiful game and have a blast.

There is one Huddler who has interwebz immunity for being IN a wedding and not GOING to one. You know who you are.

I can't wait and I look forward to a month long celebration of the beautiful game and tons of chatter on the Huddle. :D

Can't afford to go down there, though I wish I could.

I can, however, do the bold part.

a few questions...whats the TV situation like there? Checking out the website, the place looks very small (understandably), so id hate to go for the game and not be able to see poo.

What about food?

The owner told me they are bringing tv's out in the courtyard. Im going tomorow during lunch or so and scope it out some more.

Foodwise it's a pub but I will double check on that.

Husker is IN a wedding. And I have to show some restraint and not send him any updates of the match.

I will post some more details tomorrow.

They say they are serving breakfast and lunch. Match is at 2. I will talk to the both the owners of French Qrtr and Brevard Court. I know those guys and see if they will be open. I think I can talk Danny into being open that day.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
