Texas is NOT a gimme. These girls are good and getting better each week!

I don't think they connected 3 passes in a row the whole game against Texas. Everything is launched up field. I haven't seen them play before and I really don't want to watch them again.

Agreed. And they're highly ranked...apparently it still works in the college game...Lefty wrote:Baylor plays a combination of Kickball and Bludgeon Ball.Uncle Numanga wrote:You want to see kickball? Watch Baylor.

Great game between UT and Baylor. 2-1 UT Victory, beautiful goals within 5 minutes of each other at the start of second half. UT is on a roll, undefeated at home. Coach Angela is generating some real interest and results in her short time so far.Uncle Numanga wrote:They won't be ranked next week.
Watched someof TTU vs OU, TTU definitely plays a nice brand of soccer. Calm and under control with the ball. Fell asleep so don't know the result.

It was ugly but at least Tech picked up 1 point on the road.

You should have watched Notre Same vs. Virginia Tech earlier in the day. Much better soccer.

I guess Marci just said 'hey they are better than us lets just kick the crap out of the ball every chance we get, foul them until the ref gives us a card, and maybe we can get a tie'. Is that the way they play all the time? Very depressing. Tech on the other hand surprised me, kudos to that coach for attempting to play.
You have just described every girls college soccer game ever played. It really is ugly at that level and the power, speed and brute force game usually wins the day. Take a look at Abby Wombach and you will see what the best female soccer player in the world looks like.

Re: College game of the week - TTU vs BU
To compare Baylor's style of play with every women's college game ever played is ignorant. Baylor doesn't even attempt to play soccer. Take a look around the dial. If you stay off Big !2 games, you'll see some pretty good soccer.RunsLikeWind wrote:DrSoccer wrote:Indeed I was shocked by the total lack of passing by Baylor, those girls practice every day, right?

How did Tech attempt to play? I didn't see them connect any passes either.DrSoccer wrote:Indeed I was shocked by the total lack of passing by Baylor, those girls practice every day, right?

What are some of the better women's college teams (in the southern U.S.) that play a more possession style of soccer?
Thanks!!!

Alex is twice the player Abby is (with half the mass), and considerably better looking. That's what the best player in the world looks like.RunsLikeWind wrote:DrSoccer wrote:Indeed I was shocked by the total lack of passing by Baylor, those girls practice every day, right?

Re: College game of the week - TTU vs BU
How the the last 5 min of regulation and the two OTs compare with the rest of the game? When I started watching, it seemed like they too tired to play "long ball" anymore, just send it up field, and hope. Often it seemed like hot potato, just get rid of it.Uncle Numanga wrote:How did Tech attempt to play?
