Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
On an up note, Quinn turned in his Independent Study today (year long project each College of Wooster senior must accomplish in their major in order to graduate). Massive milestone. 75-page paper all in French comparing French police response to protests (I think ? or immigrants? not sure, it's in ...

Gio really deep. Opposite McKennie but deeper. I don't like it. Pulisic mostly invisible Yeah, we need Reyna higher in a 10 role.

To be clear, he was a terror and frightening and I watched attorneys with 50 years of experience shrivel up in his presence. That those were his employees was NOT to his credit.

Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"
I love Jessie Marsh’s comments at halftime. He’s fed Adams 100s of passes to shoot from 30 yards out at practice, and he’s never seen him hit one like that. “He should have hit a diagonal chip.”

Re: CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette
Well, fortunately for you, I just completed a 2-hour (not a second less!) training course on harassment in the workplace. Once you notified a manager, that manager had a duty to do something about - specifically talking to HR. But whether that actually happened or not, you should go to HR. This guy...

Re: The Weather
On the plus side, it’s supposed to stop by 7:00pm. Every time we’ve had issues, it rained until 3 or 4 am, so at least I won’t be up late dealing with this shit. Starting around 3 or 4 tonight, I should be ok through the morning.

Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"
Amazing prediction by Roger Bennett before the game. He predicted 3-1 US win, but said the score will make the game look easy, but it'll be anything but. He said it'd be 1-1 late and the US would get two late goals.

I think that there's a very high likelihood that the fact that the core of the youth movement on the MNT knew him and liked him played a role in him getting on the roster. And I think it should.
