'04 Girls FBR Rankings - 02-28-12

go99 wrote:You guys got caught sleeping on Scott.

Just a general comment/question - what's to get caught sleeping on? Is it possible that the Scott-Deleon hyphenation may have something to do with the teams success? I really know nothing about them, but just asking the question based on something that seems obvious.

Furthermore, I suspect that when the rubber meets the road in SDL 9v9 it'll probably me more than just City showing up, and understandably so, that is welcomed. The question I have is in that scenario if City beats the "higher" ranked team how does that effect the higher ranked teams ranking? That's where there could be some murkiness in the rankings. Not sure BW can account for all of those details though. All in all, still pretty accurate.

Agree

Nope nothing at all to do with the deleone hyphenation. Was always one of the most talented, athletic groups in the 04's then they got the coaching and its starting to pay off. Don't know anything about that city nonsense

Of course, the ranking of U10 football in itself is the stuff of fantasy land....

Having said that, Bw gophers enjoys taking the time to do these, so that deserves an A for effort..

Setting aside your assertion that ranking U10 football is, in itself, the stuff of fantasy, for the time being anyway, how much do you imagine an ELo ranking system and Gophers' FBR differ?

DT City 9v9 Deleon/Scott got beat by DTS like 5-0 in the first week I beleive... I think 3-4 of the girls in TGPL do not play on that team though it is still a mix of deleon's girls and scott and most of the girls from TGPL or so I heard.

Just saw what you were actually asking about. Now that was fast change on the ranking.

So is Piper independent now? What happened there?

Week one was a forfeit for FC Dallas Premier also v GSSC Blue. The parents looked like they put a pick up game together to fill the time.

Who can we get to explain this??? Hang on, I think I know someone who knows all when it comes to "Da Sting East". Let me get him.........NoCrying, can you believe FC Dallas East DeWitt is ranked higher than Sting East Boyles???? That should get him on here, just like the Bat signal to Batman.

Piper is no longer affiliated with the Sting organization. The team was tired of practicing on 1/4th of a playing field (without lines, also, I might add) and had proposed a simple solution Sting wasn't happy with. A separation between the two was a logical and smart solution at this point. As a team parent, I know I'm happy, as long as we have our coach and our great group of girls!

Heard from a parent in the club and another on the team that he was let go.?


Don't always believe what read or see on the Internet.

Lmfao. That's about how I heard it also. Guess to some the coach's word is gold, there's 3 sides to the story. His, theirs, and the truth.

I heard a GSSC Thunder rumor at practice today. Is anything going on there?

True. If i were to believe everything I've heard, I'd think former players/parents were begging for bridges to be rebuilt...

LMFAO. I would question this guys motive on that one. Hey I was being nice and said I didn't know anything. And I was laughing at the commercial. Geez don't be so defensive, like I told my buddy as long as the girls are happy then who cares what jersey they wear.

I heard a rumor that piper was out at LP and going to be RASE - city- EAST(piper)

See it's on the internet so it must be true

- I ditto this...Neil has been a great coach for my dd and this was a no brainer! Our loyalty is to the coach who has proven to have the best interest, in my opinion, of this team as a whole and the girls that play for him. My dd loves being a part of this team and I am happy that all the girls are still a team!

we followed our coach and I say great for you guys. If he is doing a great job then stick with him.

Will LP let him coach from his lawn chair?

he has to switch over to an officially licensed LP lawn chair and the we are cool

do NOT take his chair away!

Does he also have signature DM flip flops?

go99 wrote:Does he also have signature DM flip flops?

I cannot speak for the flip flops, but leave the hat and chair alone! Happy coach = happy dd!

Interesting and something to talk about if nothing else. If Scotland or Ireland were subject to this sort of calculation, they'd be forever ranked top 10 because they play top European countries and lose. Only flaw I see in these are teams that lose to higher ranked teams are rewarded the A for effort. Also, Brazil wouldn't rank so well because they beat up on their poor soccer neighbors.
