I still like yellow numbers. I now like blue skies.
@hornekerjustin.bsky.social Question that maybe you know the answer to. If last night had gone to PKs and CITY had failed to advance in them, would that have constituted an extension of their unbeaten streak or does that go down as a loss?

Took their striker, then we took their heart.

Did I watch a completely different 1H from this announcer? I will settle for the notion that this game was more equal than the scoreboard showed. But Colorado didn’t once look dangerous in 60 minutes until they were behind 3-0.
In no way was this game weighted towards Colorado at any point.

That was correct because the studs didn’t clip Becher. But the studs absolutely WERE up.

Shocked by that very good call from the official. VAR never should have called that one over.

This ref is spotting simulation. He needs to start carding for it.

Shouldn’t that be a red card even with the goal?

I paid very little attention to the Cardinals game today, but it needs to be said, again, that Riley O'Brien is very bad.
I don't know how as an organization you take your closer and the NL leader in saves one year and make him the 6th inning guy the next year, but that clearly has to happen.

Really hard to put into words how bad the Cardinals bullpen is.

Think coaches have crossed the threshold where they’re too aggressive on 4th down now.
Ravens would not have regretted kicking the FG. They might regret coming away with zero points there though.

Google and Amazon are such awful companies for customer support. (Other things, too of course, but for products with massive user bases, their customer support is unbelievably bad.)

If Riley O’Brien is even considered for closer next year, you’ll know the cardinals still aren’t trying to win.

This is a horrible loss at this point in the Bielema tenure. Absolutely horrid. Being so talented poor at this point, after all their success is inexcusable. Might be the NIL donors fault as much as anything.
But a brutal loss.
Bowl game is the max success this year’s team will have.
