Bama, where are the futbol value added stats?

Is it bad that I graduated 10 years ago but still don't like the MU soccer team because all but one of the soccer players I knew as a student were complete and total d-bags? Has that changed at all over the years?

[Tugg Speedman]

Is this the highest ranked in any sport MU team since 1978?

A fellow grad and good friend of mine was on the team. I'm a really big fan of most of the kids, all really nice and gave a good effort when I was tutoring/TAing them.

Really? Bitter much?

Tony Davis and Dean Marquardt were jerks 30+ years ago. Therefore I still don't like MU basketball.

Can't blame him. I hated the LAX Club players because they always carried their sticks on campus. Hard to be all in on this LAX team.

I'll go back 30 years to say they were good guys! 

Road trip senior year in high school (what were the parents thinking?); 4 of us drove to Milwaukee/Chicago from St. Louis to "visit" schools one weekend); December of '81 the weekend before finals.  We arrived at McCormick where we had loosely arranged to stay with a guy from our high school who was on the soccer team.  Started playing "hi Bob" within minutes of arrival, hung out with guys on the soccer team that night and 3 of us wind up going to MU.

Number 2 in the country. That is ridiculous!

Does chili (a former soccer player himself) realize why it's a big deal yet?

Yes, according to JSOnline.  MU last achieved a #1 or #2 national ranking in ANY sport after Hank's guys beat Xavier in February 1978.  That's before some on this board were even born.

(Translation.  Go to a freakin' game yet this Fall.  They've earned it.)

Sorry chili.  Guess I should have said real chili 83.

As a walk on on a Marquette team that lost to Wisconsin-Green Bay 9 to 0, I feel pretty good about this.

Yep. Just a little behind the times on college soccer.  Congrats to the Warriors on their success.

Didn't the soccer team have their own Hiroshima in the past year with coaching turnover?

Looks like the team has adjusted well!

Nice article on their success in the JS.  Looks like they set the standard for mens BBall this year.

I believe one of the assistants quit/got fired. somewhat of a hiroshima.

i think the bigger hiroshima was before last year when bennett had been here quite a while and hadn't yet produced any real on field success. I guess that goes to show you've got to give coaches time to get their players and instill their system before making any judgments. i suppose that's some sort of commentary on sports when FB/BB coaches get fired after 1-3 years before they've had any real chances.

Looks like Marquette just beat Northern Illinois, 1-0, to remain unbeaten going into their game at #10/14 Georgetown this weekend.

[jsglow]

Confirmed.
