@ChaseDaniel Thoughts on Kentucky?

My SEC preseason takes: ▪️Texas is the best team ▪️Ole Miss has the best offense. ▪️Oklahoma has the best defense. ▪️Arch Manning goes to Heisman. ▪️The 9-game SEC schedule hurts the conference more than it helps. Agree or Disagree?

@PeteHegseth 😂

The flyovers will continue until morale improves.

@BenchwarmerBran We do not have a history of American soccer heros for our kids to emulate. We have a long history of heroes in our big three. It'll take a lot, but I think the needle is starting to move. This world cup has been a big success for getting Americans attention.

America would be better at soccer if it was actually a priority in our country but it’s not and never will be Our problem isn’t that Ja’Marr Chase isn’t playing soccer. Our problem is anyone born here who could’ve been the next Messi probably dedicated his life to D3 basketball instead

@TheBaconFather I understand why they have to, but that's some Maverick stuff right there. Pretty cool stuff.

The Navy has identified the blue falcon pilot as U.S. Navy Commander Amanda Lee and will be swiftly removing her from the demonstration team.

@bordeauxyoutube I'm just done with EA

Bad news, Road to Glory sliders will not return to CFB 27 and the fastest Dynasty coach XP speed slider will stay at what “Faster” was on CFB 26 I love how we are now tripling down on limiting the freedom your players have inside their single player, OFFLINE modes

@PatrickDoll @nsc_ronan I'm with you, honestly. Our sports leagues are the least free market entities we have. It would give fans more power. It had to be how it currently is to get us started out I don't think we're close to where we're at now. Hope it can change

@JohnnyInTheSun @nsc_ronan And the problem with that is... what? Some teams will flounder, but some will thrive. And new teams entirely will take the place of dead teams. Let the best survive.

You want pro/rel in MLS? Alright here’s how it would probably happen Get to 40 teams by adding franchises in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Antonio, Indianapolis, Detroit, Louisville, and somewhere else east of the Mississippi Then, you play out a normal season 🧵

@BiasKentuckyFan @KSRonX Nah

@KSRonX fuck bordeaux. Dumb pussy

Gamers can thank a Kentucky Football fan for saving the EA SPORTS College Football franchise. on3.com/teams/kentucky…

@bordeauxyoutube You made Kentucky proud @bordeauxyoutube

we did it. #CFBPlayDontPay

@JamesSurowiecki Brother, quit comparing soccer to football and compare it to golf instead.

The idea that soccer is more complex than football is just comically inaccurate. In football, you see teams with inferior talent regularly win games because they have better schemes and smarter playcallers. That almost never happens in soccer, and when it does the scheme is almost always "park the bus and hope to steal a set-piece goal or win on penalties."

I haven't listened in a long time but @KySportsRadio needs to get @bordeauxyoutube on the show. He's a Kentucky guy fighting the good fight

@bordeauxyoutube We're about to throw some tea into the harbor.

EA has responded, but sounds like they’re gonna stand firm for now and double down on the changes with micro transactions They’re also using creators to push their messaging without making a statement themselves or addressing anything “the core coach level progression is unchanged from CFB 26” true, but normal is way too slow, and you REMOVED 2 faster settings They acknowledge “Fast/Faster Coach Progression was removed from Dynasty,” 0 update on a plan to bring it back ZERO mention of removing XP sliders from Road to Glory either “continuing to monitor community feedback” basically meaning we don’t wanna make a change because we think it’ll blow over lmao I can’t believe this is the response the College Football team is making. Do better @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

@ItsGTime @StanUsmnt We need to change the entire culture. 12 year olds are practicing football five days a week and soccer only two days a week around me. We haven't taken it seriously enough to expect big things.

@ItsGTime @StanUsmnt This is the ENTIRE issue. Kids don't have soccer heros to look up to and go outside and try to emulate in their backyard. Parents and TV pundits haven't been arguing what soccer player was best of all time for the past 30 years. We missed an opportunity this year.

I’ve heard people say “well we don’t have an open system in basketball and we’re still best in the world.” Guys, in a little over 30 years foreign players went from almost no nba players and getting ran off court with our best to: -8 straight foreign MVPs -since 2021 first team all nba has been 21/30 foreign spots -college bball recruiting has shifted to be a race for the best 20 year old euro players If you don’t think their approach to development on all fronts including club structure and professional league structure impacts this you’re crazy.

@TerrellTres Stick with the Bengals. Headed to the Superbowl.

I think this fall I’m going to try to pick up an NFL team and truly follow them each Sunday like a hardcore fan does. Any suggestions? I’m leaning the Bengals because they’re close, but I could be persuaded.

@sergino_dest You guys did great for us. My kids will remember this for years. Thank you.

There’s no way to describe this feeling. We wanted so much more. We let ourselves down but we won’t let this define us. We dreamed of giving our country something special, and we came up short. To every fan who believed in us from day one, thank you. Your support never went unnoticed. We’ll carry this pain with us, learn from it and come back stronger than ever. This badge deserves nothing less. 🇺🇸

@AGamer316 @bordeauxyoutube @CFBDirect @EASPORTSCollege Creators rely on partnerships and become bought and paid for. Too afraid to bite the hand that feeds them. Good for @bordeauxyoutube #cfbplaydontpay

@bordeauxyoutube @CFBDirect @EASPORTSCollege I feel like the recruiting in Dynasty and Road to Glory issue with the depth chart issues is more important. Also weren't microtransactions not in superstar mode in Madden 26? I'm confused why there's an outrage now and not then or maybe I missed that which is very possible

A title update is now available for @EASPORTSCOLLEGE focused on: ✅ Stability improvements ✅ Fixed an issue affecting onside kicks Thanks to everyone who's been playing and sharing feedback with the team. With Worldwide Launch just around the corner, we'll share an update here on July 9 covering some of the top topics we're tracking and actively working on.

@ThunderHusky17 Let's just try to keep this momentum. If it's what you described here, or anything else, we have an opportunity to start something great

10 Steps to fix US Soccer Going Foward: 1. No more MLS Partnership: They have differing priorities and they should. They’re running a business and they’re promoting that business first and foremost. We can’t be indebted to an entity with self serving interests separate from the success of US National teams. 2. Pro/Rel for US Soccer: We need to grow the game and get more players the opportunity for exposure and top level competition. Simple. Make the matches more meaningful. Grow the roots, develop talent, make soccer for the people not for the rich MLS owners. 3. Our League Operates as an Exporter: US Soccer is not a powerhouse. Develop talent. Sell to Europe. Allow players to test their abilities against the best. Re-invest the funds. Repeat. Brazil and Argentina have perfected this. That’s the blueprint. 4. Soccer Needs to be Affordable: Funds from exports needs to be reinvested into the youth system. We depend on MLS for all youth development. We miss out on tons of talented young players because of their absurd and dated rules. 5. We NEED a Plan at GK Going Forward: Gaga and Kochen need senior minutes to see what they have. We desperately need somebody to take up the mantle. In the meantime we need to consider what characteristics we value in a GK and how we want to play. Can’t build out of the back with guys like Freese and Turner that are shot stoppers but aren’t great with their feet. 6. We NEED to Recruit: We simply don’t have the talent to rely on guys that grow up and develop through MLS. Guys like Banks or Chase could have flipped this World Cup. Suzuki could have been the answer in net. Can’t close that door. Poch whiffed on that. 7. Create an Identity: HOW do we want to play? What type of players do we need to develop to fit our general style? Yes, you scheme to the players you have but you can also develop played to fit a core identity. 8. Change the Culture: We’re never going to make soccer the most popular sport in the United States. What we can do is format our culture to better reflect sports fans in the US and make it unique instead of trying to copy everything Europe does. The idea of incorporating things done by college football teams is a good place to start. Recognizable traditions that will feel familiar and get fans involved. It needs to feel fun and not exclusive. 9. We can’t play timid or passive anymore. We moved away from big physical athletes grinding out games in favor of skilled players. That’s fine. They can’t lose what makes us unique though. We’re not going to out-skill Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France etc. anytime soon. We need to be the tone setters. Guys like Dest can’t play in the knockouts. We saw that today. We need a mix of both. McKennie, Adams, Richards, Tillman, and Reyna all play with an edge and with skill but don’t shy away from contact or the moment. That’s the blueprint. 10. We Need a World Class Talent or A LOT OF DEPTH: We better hope that Cavan, Albert, Gozo, Spivey, or Mehmeti can develop into something special. If not we need them all to hit to some degree. We saw with Haaland what an absolute game breaker it can be to have even a single World Class player in your team can be. Short of that you need incredible depth. Much of this tournement the starters were fine but the bench was sub-par. Can’t have that without a distinct identity or a world class roster. Ideally you have 2 of those 3. There’s many more valid ideas on how to fix this but these are the 10 that come to mind as I sit here miserable after having watched that utterly disappointing effort.

That is about as bad as it could have gone. #usa

@DariusJButler Football is life!

I’m watching my second soccer match of the day. Who have I become?
