U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

Hearing Poch will probably bolt after this contract? Bummer

Google AI: Mauricio Pochettino earns a base salary of roughly $6,040,600 per year as the head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT). His lucrative compensation package is partially subsidized by philanthropic donations from billionaires, making him one of the highest-paid international soccer coaches globally.

Just sayin': If he does "bolt", it sure doesn't look like it would be due not enough money.

How's the weather?

Not good here… Uvalde has had close to 30“ of rain in the last 72 hours…. The same area that got hit by floods last 4th that killed over 100 kids in summer camps got hit again, thankfully the Camps took it seriously and no issues report yet… further up another river might be breaking it floor stage record from 1979 … some of these rivers are seeing double peaks because of where and when the rain is falling…. we needed the rain but not like this….

How's the weather?

Well, here in Cali, just another 106+ day. After a round of golf, going into the club house, and the AC there, makes the sweat freeze. Had an unseasonal 'rain storm' last week, got just enough raindrops that it attracted the swirling dust, and created dirty cars. Would take some of that sky-water y'all are experiencing, as crops are drooping, and the sweet corn is looking pretty ragged. Oh, yeah, the farmers (aka growers) here are pumping ground water to make up the shortfall, and of course, the state is taxing them on the amount of acre/feet being extracted from the ground. It's no wonder we've got over 700+ farms for sale in the area.
I remember when I was a kid, after we moved to Oregon from LA driving through the San Joaquin going back and forth on visits. It was like the garden of Eden, so many farms. I remember there was a stretch of I-5 that was cattle ranches for miles and miles, the smell was unbearable. The last time I drove through there about 15 years ago it looked like the Sahara desert.

Deciding When to Retire

Bravo. You're entirely correct. One is merely a piece of meat in the machine. Lots of good ideas above, although hopefully full of things one would 'like to say', but not really say. As a hiring agent, always ask why left last position. Some answers are real doozies. But when one checks with previous employers, if they say 'would not be eligible for rehire' it cause one to pause. Not burning bridges is always the best course. Who knows, maybe your stock portfolio takes a tumble, and you need that income bridge before stocks turn north again. Anyway, have discussed/thought many of the same things opined above. Oh yeah, when doing my due diligence on a recruit, always check on the previous employer before the one where they are currently. Will get a more unbiased answer. Could be that the current employer blows smoke up your six in order to get you gone! Anyway, did day trading on JD Uniphase, and lost a quick $25,000, and decided not my jam. Have been retired for 10 Years now, and wouldn't have it any other way. Served on Grand Jury, and wasn't thrilled to have to get up and meet a specific meeting time. But can do for a tee time. Go figure.

'27 OH PG Joshua Tyson (Verbal Offer)

Ohio has always had good basketball players, getting them to stay in-state has been a problem. Now, it appears that Diebs is getting that to happen. Love it, and hope we see more of it. My fervent wish is that tOSU basketball (men and women) would get the populace to react like Buckeye football, and look at the home fires first, before making a recruiting decision.

So, here's where I'm at:

Can we blame the NCAA for their ludicrous punishment? Why in the history of punishing teams, did they not give a fuck about "punishing the current players" concerning Michigan? They didn't give a fuck before and they certainly didn't give a fuck after.
That's the real crime.

Thee Ohio State University News

They've come and gone, and our fundraising never slows down. You can go all the way back to our first multi-year campaign in the mid 80s that had a goal of 250M and raised 450M--a record at the time for a public university.

Dude did a huge job on the recent campaign, but the next guy will do just fine.

Deciding When to Retire

Pulled the trigger. Done. 8/7 is my last day.
Congrats. I have 9-14 more years, I think.
But I'm leaning towards just not showing up ever again. My company cell phone sitting on my desk, next to the key to the front door. Never hear from me again. I figure that's how they treat the employees - no notice. Why should I treat them any differently?
