So I had a dream last night...

 

I'm walking around campus and come up to this crowd watching USA vs. Ghana in the World Cup. USA just scores to the tune of 7-7 in the 81st minute. Somewhere in all the madness my mind shifts and now I'm in the game on the field. It's not to long after where we get a counter attack chance. Donovan sprints down the left side and lays it off to me at the top of the 18. I try and trap it to set up a shot but on my first touch I fail and chip it up in the air. Altidore before lacing into the ball says something to me that bears no repeating. The shot is a scorcher flying upper 90 until Brad Guzman playing keeper while on attack (FIFA?) saves the shot with his hands only so he could finish! Still no call by the referee, the Ghana goalie initially saves Guzman's shot and then bobbles it on the way to the ground. Donovan toe pokes it in for the game winner and everyone including the USA players are silently stunned. I could hear the British or Irish announcer say, "SURELY!....SURELY! THE GAME CAN'T END LIKE THIS." The referee had no idea what happened and USA goes onto win 8-7.

 

He said my story was cool! and called me bro!

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
