Occasional feelings about Star Wars from someone who actually likes it. See also: sports posting including KC Current, USWNT, Mizzou, and probably a lot more. Trying to have good opinions.
I watched every second of that game and I had no choice by the end but to hate it and respect it in equal measure, even if my team lost
Wrote heavy on Oregon and Oklahoma. One is a sturdy-ass football team capable of blowing up your whole house at any time.
The other team? Huge bunch of football perverts.

I don't want to *not* give them credit for finding ways to get it done because that's a skill in itself, but damn was it less than fun to watch

(Spirit obviously didn't play well enough, no shots on target, etc, but man that was an ugly game and I won't pretend I'm not bitter)

Gotham really got away with it three games in a row, what the hell man

Also it seems bad that the Sprit did not attempt to make a sub earlier than that. Herschfelt obviously didn't wanna come off but you gotta take that decision out of her hands when she can hardly walk

I, unfortunately, love Rose Lavelle and she just knows how to score goals in big finals. Respect.

I have a lot better of a tactical grasp of soccer than when I started seriously watching like 15 years ago so I get some of why there aren't goals yet, but all I can think right now is basically
PUT BALL IN GOAL PLS

This game started out much less cagey than it has now become, this looks more like how finals often do

Lmao not Shaw going for goal off the opening kick

Tried to talk myself out of watching the rest of the playoffs after how much the QF loss hurt, but I am excited to watch this final and root very hard for the Spirit lmao. And to every fan who made it out there: please boo Berman at the trophy ceremony as hard as we did in KC during the Shield one

berman keeps using that dumb line that the reason an 8 seed is facing a 2 seed in the championship is the salary cap, and it is driving me crazy. i would argue that a far more accurate reason is because the league sucks at protecting players like banda and chawinga on and off the pitch.

Sadiq is the next evolution of the freakishly athletic tight end that makes a catch like that look easy. Absolutely sick player

Oregon is the best team in CFB to be your second team because it does not matter what year it is since like, the turn of the century, they are always fun to watch. The play design on the linebacker TD was just cool as hell

Mood now is mostly a burning desire not to lose next week to a fake rival coached by Bobby Petrino, season can still end kinda positive lol

followed by another underthrown deep ball and a pick, I think that'll do it

A real targeting ass targeting call on the OU defensive back there, it doesn't get much easier than that

I'm trying not to be too in my feelings about it because that's exactly how I really feel, too. Guys who make as much as he does to coach college kids aren't always known for being great at self-reflection imo

I don't even know that I want him to leave because I know what kind of history Mizzou has (a lot of it is bad!) but the one top 10 win he ever got was a Cotton Bowl against 2023 Ohio State missing a lot of their best players.
Two complete loser FGs this half by Eli Drinkwitz, who has never won a big game

This coming from someone who would probably prefer he stay, so, y'know. He is what he is.

To any fanbase that wants Drink as your coach (or might get him): you will definitely win an above average amount of games and get good recruits, but the man is not a great in game coach and this is what happens against quality teams

Pribula wasn't throwing the ball downfield much before he was injured, but I am extremely convinced he literally can't right now

This Mizzou defense is turning me into a defense sicko, if they win this game it's gonna be because OU can't do shit on offense

No idea how the rest of this one goes, but a real ass matriculate the ball down the field drive ending in an ugly made FG kind of is this Mizzou offense rn
