stlawus reaction: re-institute overtime

Great post Kuiper!

Am glad that IFAB adopted the 8 second rule on keepers holding the ball. If they hold over 8 sec or over, other team is awarded a corner. https://www.theifab.com/news/the-ifab-tackles-goalkeeper-time-wasting/

I don't think the NCAA has which is dumb in my opinion and still have the 6 sec rule with a violation being an indirect kick. Great rule. NCAA refs seem to award never or only on very, very rare occasions. I think NCAA refs need to early in the game be strict or warn during captain/coach meetings that they will enforce. After warning pregame, award once early and all will generally comply which will keep the game moving. Most of us who watch basketball see one ref counting the seconds with his arm as a team brings the ball up the court. Would be great in NCAA soccer so all can see him doing this.

Son as a keeper was a master strategist in youth soccer. One tournament (U13 maybe so 13 yrs or so ago) they were playing at Kirkwood, DE on a field that was in the far corner. One end of the field had thick scrub trees almost jungle like. Tournament rules called for 2 30 min halves which refs could not extend. 30 mins was 30 mins. Also, each field had only one ball they had to use for the entire game.

Up 2-1 in a tight game, ball goes barreling over the bar into the thicket near the end of the 2nd half, son says "I got it" goes to retrieve. All were waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, son finally comes out with the ball. Felt like 5 min., but probably really 2-3.  Asked son on the way back home to Maryland when he found the ball, he said right away and was just hanging out.

Mount definitely with the toughest first 3 games in the league
Toss-up between BW and Heidi for the easiest. 
Muskie with the most interesting recruiting.  Around 80 freshmen this year and ~ 1/4 from Ohio and new strategy of if you can breathe, you get an 'offer' may pay off!

Quote from: Hopkins Walk-On on August 27, 2025, 07:34:07 PMNotably, 8 of Hopkins' 9 freshmen are over 6 feet and other one is 5' 11". This is a notable change from past years and one Coach Appleby highlighted recently.

Going the F&M way, hah, 6'6" keeper and centerback, other is 6'4". Midfielder is 6'4". 21 out of 28 6' or over. Back up keeper is 6'5" When son played, they had a very good intramural basketball team (he was a shooting guard/small forward) in high school), hahaha. Maybe better now??

Also, in my experience, coaches often list players as taller. For instance, a 5'10" player somehow magically becomes 6'0".  Son was 6'1 or 6'0", but was often listed as 6'2"

W&J scrimmaged Mt Union Thursday, I believe. It's an annual thing since W&J HC Sirianni is a Mt Union alum.

Kinda strange not having games this Labor Day weekend.  Not that I'm complaining--weather is prime for lake time.

What are some of the scrimmages we have on the docket for the PAC?

I know CWRU - John Carroll is this weekend.   Always a good backyard battle.

Quote from: Captainred81 on August 28, 2025, 03:04:26 PMA) I think we should table the criticism and wait for the season to start.  We were in the Stagg Bowl last year, and had a solid chance to win the game.

B)  110 Incoming freshman in this day and age is amazing.  He must be doing something right to get that amount of players. 

C)  I will be thoroughly let down if Mount is not in this years Canton Stagg Bowl.  Not by players or coaches, just in general.

D)  I skimmed through the roster and the QB and RB rooms are gonna be full.  Good to see Leibler on the list.  Also, looking forward to seeing what Jerry Copper Jr. can do this year.  I think he really started to turn it on last year at the end of the season

At last, a voice of reason.
