Strange too is that coaching has not been called into question as it would if it were any other sport. Please enlighten us, anyone?

BTW, it isn’t out of the question that we advance to the NCAA this year.

That’s nice. Hope so. It’s just that losing tends to bring out the “FIRE whoever” posts.

I guess you simply do not understand. No one is complaining about a coach that takes us to the playoffs most years.

We all want to win and at a minimum we want to look like we belong on the field/court. Soccer may not have a stellar record this year, but by all accounts, we’ve been the better team in most games and just struggled to score the ball. Coach has earned himself an off-year or two, or maybe even three, before calling for his head.

Life is no Nintendo game[/quote] Clt forgot to say “clt says” and clt obviously has not seen our team, either.

clt didn’t want folks to believe that clt was eminem.

Shout out to the lads for beating previously undefeated FIU in the conference semifinal today. That should be enough to get us to the NCAA, but beating ODU on their home pitch Sunday will be sweet after we outplayed them here, but lost on a very questionable penalty kick goal.

Not a snarky question, actually curious. With our record I figured it wasn’t possible, but I don’t follow college soccer closely enough to know.

We might get an at-large bid, but I really doubt it will happen. We don’t have the best record to be picked. If New Mexico get selected, we better get selected…

Probably going to have an RPI in the thirties. IMO, we should be in. I’m not on the selection committee, however.
Hopefully, this will be moot point late Sunday afternoon.

[quote=“919R, post:3036, topic:25684”][quote=“austinniner, post:3033, topic:25684”]Niners with ANOTHER draw against Kentucky. Dominated play, but again had trouble putting the ball in the net. Stupid unnecessary penalty in the box gave Kentucky a PK, otherwise we win this one. We get some people who can finish and this team is top 10 for sure. Some help on D wouldn’t help either, but offense is where we need it. Finish the season with 6-4-6 record. I hope we’re good at PKs, because we’re going to need them in post season play.[/quote]. I expect them to make a run similar to the women’s team[/quote]. 8)

We’ve played ourselves onto the bubble, but I don’t think it was enough. Tomorrow will tell.

found this site to analyze our RPI. FIU looks under-rated with an RPI of only 21. ODU is our worst loss twice with and RPI of 28, so no bad losses on our record: [font=Verdana][size=78%]http://rpiu​pdatemenssoc​cer.blogspot​.com/2017/08​/charlotte.h​tml[/size][/font]

Fingers crossed - there’s still a chance. Just so many games we should have won that ended up being draws.
