I'm just wondering why they couldn't zoom out a little more on his picture

"Cal Baptist registered a 70-63-22 (.633) record during Strader's seven years on staff, including 36-20-11 (.619) in Western Athletic Conference (WAC) play. He mentored 28 conference award winners at CBU, including three All-WAC selections in 2024. The Lancers also produced 11 United Soccer Coaches All-Region performers during his tenure."

Woohoo. A winner.

In the WAC lol

There's an actual Fighting Artichoke

No legitimate candidate is taking this job with a roster purged of talent and a dead coach walking.

So said wiseman before ...

So from what I'm gathering...here are the stats of the offseason additions

• 1 P4 transfer who is a 2 year starter
• 1 P4 transfer whose only appearances came in preseason as a freshman
• 5-6 transfers from non power 4 programs
• Hired Assistant Coach from non power 4 program

Thoughts?

Natty. Give it to us!

Welcome to the clown show!

With expectations so low for next season at least it will not take much to exceed them! It will be a long off season wondering what in the heck will happen but at least in the Spring I will be able to enjoy softball and tennis, teams with a real coach and real vision!

I'll still watch all the games and cheer on the team but I will continue what I started this past season - I will not watch any of the interviews with G.

Those interviews are hard to watch lol, I try to see how long it takes for me to get upset! Usually never make it past the second question

Hayden Wilson - Defender - Oregon State: started most of their games, this year they played in the WCC, all freshman wcc team

Some Aggie jokes write themselves.

It takes little pride and no shame to lead a team onto every pitch with every player, coach, and fan knowing you are a dead coach walking. G is "that guy."

I wonder if this guy knows the complicated gameplan of constantly kicking the ball back to the goalie esp when the defense folds, passing it to nobody and the offense scheme of launching the ball to Navasota.

If not, I have a podcast he can listen to.

The CC he coached at was the Fighting Artichokes. CBU are the Lancers.

We need a podcast recapping this off-season so far

Does the Johnny futbol recruit have any eligibility left?

You ref in Cali and in Texas?

Some things never change.

Checking out the soccer press releases at 12thman.com on two new transfers. Comments from G:

On Savannah Hutchins - "I expect her to have an immediate impact on our offense, making us more dangerous in attack." "She will help us compete on the national stage."

On Trinity Buchanan - "I expect her to make us immediately more dangerous in attack." "She will be able to compete on the national soccer stage."

Almost word for word. Said the same thing last year about transfers that for the most part sat on the bench, especially early in the season. This was talked about a LOT this past season. But with all the starters (except GK) either graduated or transferred we WILL have different starters. It will be a completely different team next season. Which brings up this: many on this thread have said over time that Phil ran the team (except the GK's). The new coach and Seth have worked together. I wonder if they will be 'allowed' to implement a new style. I tend to be an optimist but I am not holding my breath !!

I think you answered your own question with the first line of your post. Unfortunately.

I saw this last night:

A&M #3 on the list, with $279 mil in revenue. Ohio State at #1 and the sips at #2.
