Re: Sloppy lethargic play doomed women's soccer team
The score at the half: 0-0.gingi wrote: If they play like this at Penn State the game will be called on runs in the first half... I am trying to convert my wife to BYU sports by showing her our better teams. She left in disgust after the first half.
BYU lost 0-1. Oh the horror.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
I couldn't watch the Washington State team, but many who did say the team played much better. The thing is, that was on the road and WSU is supposed to be better than Nebraska. BYU didn't play well on Monday for some reason.
I do find it curious that some of the experienced players are getting less playing time in favor of some of the new freshmen. The younger players must have more raw talent, but I wonder what Coach Rockwood does now. Does she go back to more experience against Penn State? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what the right answer is.
Nebraska seemed to have us scouted out very well and we didn't respond well. PSU is a completely different team, highly ranked, and probably more likely to just do their thing rather than try to replicate what a team like Nebraska did. I don't think they're likely to play the drop everyone back into defense and bring the goalie up high like an extra defender like NU did. This may actually help BYU just play their normal game. On the other hand, it's on the road and PSU is way more talented than Nebraska.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Kind of disappointing that the BYU at Penn State game is not on the Big Ten Network. It should be. PSU is the defending national champions and both teams are nationally ranked. Instead they go with no live sports that night. But then I'm not that surprised having watched that channel a few times. The quality isn't that great. Kind of annoying that they get a huge paycheck from the cable providers but don't take advantage of the chance to highlight sports other than football and basketball. BYU really helps the entire athletic dept. with how they use BYUTV.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
I love that we can tell our recruits that you will be on tv and your family can see your games. That has to be a big draw for many of the kids. Plus it should help schedule good games. Nebraska got their game on nationwide TV.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Right. When they played at home against BYU last year the BTN was nowhere to be found. They must love the money, but the cable/satellite providers are being taken for a major ride, and perhaps the bubble bursts in the next few years. The basketball coverage is good, but for anything else other than September football when everyone in the league plays directional MAC schools, the coverage on that channel seems to be very lacking. Weird. Even the P12 network shows as much live sports as they can. They just have sloppy distribution.scott715 wrote:Nebraska got their game on nationwide TV.
