  1. How can any athletic director in the country sell Skip Holtz to their fan base?

    I think many bit on the name "Holtz" and his relative success at other schools. Me included. I thought he would be a good hire. Now I am wondering how the hell it could go so wrong.

    Well, not really. I've seen things that help me understand.

    Leavitt left the cupboard empty. Skip needs his own players. BJ can't make a short pass. WR have butterfingers. Humidity.

    Pick one.

  2. Holtz has lost the players. Holtz appeared cool, calm, and collected during last few meetings. Apparently the only ones on edge in the locker room are the assistant coaches, especially Cosh. General feeling among players is Holtz is getting one more year.

    This is directly from a player's mouth. Nothing concrete but he feels Holtz is getting another year.

    The players are ALWAYS the absolutely last party to find out.

    Yeah, I kinda figured that. He said some pretty troubling things though. Aside from the players not caring anymore, their attitude going into games was that they were going to lose. Said players joked about forfeiting tonight's game. Players are more excited about an end of the season party they organized than the game. But this is all stuff we can assume after a season like this. Just thought I'd post what I heard from a friend who plays D.

    I'm calling BS! You almost had me up until you implied that (a) you have a friend, and (B) this person supposedly plays defense. No one on this team plays defense!

    :)

    Haha. You're right, I should say that he's one of the guys on the field when the other team has the ball.

  4. nobody gives a $h!t about soccer in the United States, when are these people going to get that?

    And while I agree RayJ's 67k is presently too much for us, 28k is way too small.

    That's funny considering there are more youth soccer clubs across America than football teams. On a national level, of course it can't compete with the NFL but to say that people don't care s rather ignorant.

    Yeah but the vast majority of those kids quit when they are 13 or 14.

    Been a while since you've visited any major sports complex in the bay area. There are several tournaments every year that attract teams from all over the country. There is a huge opportunity for tourism $$.

    73% of kids quit before they turn 13. This is from US Soccer. Still, I would like USF to investigate the stadium issue.

    The large quitting rate is due to the lack of a popular league like the NFL, MLB, or NBA. Unless you go overseas, there isn't a lot of money to be made in the MLS. Hopefully, as popularity for the league grows so will the money and the talent.
