    2015 Basketball Coaching Carousel (Bo Ryan to retire in 2016)

    Sounds like that was part of the allure, if you believe Gary Parrish and his "sources." http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25133700/shaka-smart-leaves-vcu-for-texas That being said, maybe they just needed some bullshit filler to throw a story together to get...

    Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

    Well, this formation is either gonna work or get fucked hard. Also, not really sure why Klins is riding Wood so much. I'd much prefer Dempsey up there with Nguyen in that hybrid CF spot, but whatever.

    Law School is a sham

    He didn't even take it. Not only is he up shits creek without a paddle, but he doesn't even have a boat. At least he didn't go thru with his idea of obtaining a Mediation LLM. Or his other idea of a Healthcare Law LLM. That would have added, what, an additional 40k? LOL

    Law School is a sham

    Just wanted to fan the flames a bit - graduated in May, passed my state's bar, and currently have zero job prospects. I have no student loans, so it's not as dire as it could be, but it's still obviously not a great situation. I can make do, however, so whatever. I have a buddy though who took...

    World Cup Knockout Rounds Thread (USMNT THREAD!) (nwt)

    Gotta eat crow - thought Brazil would riot/opposing fans would get assaulted/etc. after Brazil lost, but seems like nothing really came about. Not sure how much the media influenced that perception, or if the completely lopsided result affected the fans greatly or what, but I was definitely...

    Advice for soccer noobs

    I have a buddy who took this a step further, and refuses to support the USMNT because of the quality of their play and roots for Germany because "they have a chance to win it." He actively supported Germany in that last group game. This dude was born in Jersey City and has never left the country.

    Advice for soccer noobs

    Sure, it would be one thing if these stadiums were maxed out which would push the attendance numbers above NBA and NHL. But there are only six MLS teams with average attendance above your 20k mark: Seattle (40,091), Toronto (22,591), Vancouver (21,000), Salt Lake (20,137), Portland (20,800), and...

    Advice for soccer noobs

    I assumed Ph was talking about max capacities at arenas, so I looked at max capacities for MLS stadiums. Although when the league started out games used to be played in NFL stadiums (which could push the average attendances higher), most now play in soccer specific stadiums, whose max capacities...

    Advice for soccer noobs

    Not sure your point, only three MLS stadiums are above 22k (and most settle around 15-20k just like arenas). Sure, Seattle tips the scale a bit by consistently being at 40k+ but it's still impressive to be over 1k above NBA/NHL even with that.

    Advice for soccer noobs

    MLS has higher average attendance than both the NBA and the NHL. Sure, TV is where the money is, but that fact is still somewhat surprising.
