    It was a bold pick regardless of the result.
    There's gonna be at least one or two upsets. Happens every year. Heck, I picked Florida Gulf Coast over USF.

    No doubt. But you gotta have SOME fun with the picks. Trust me...my predictions are sure to challenge the thought, "even a broken clock is right twice a day".

    You've been around soccer too long to make too much of this. Funny things happen in this game, especially when you factor in kids and emotions.

    Playoffs: win and advance.

    All that matters now.

    That said, I don't see them getting past New Mexico, which, given Virginia's youth (Bates the lone senior), would put them about where they belong. They're a Top 20 team but on the outer fringe of
    Top 20; losing in the 2nd round puts them in the top 32 teams in the country but not the top 16, which for this group seems about right.

    I wanted to go with that pick but was too much of a pussy to do so.

    I kinda hope you get that one right.

    I believe the goalscorer's name is McNamara.

    There might have been some bias against the Big East when I made that pick :D

    Drexel had a nice little counterattack going but shot the ball way over the net. Goal kick Brown with 11 minutes left in the first half

    Brown scores. cross from the left side into the box and Daniel Taylor headed it in. Looked like the ball bounced under the crossbar and out but it was ruled a goal. 2-0 for the Ivy Leaguers

    Looks like a lot of streams will be firing up at 7 Eastern. Any recommendations?

    I'm thinking of watching either the UMBC/ODU match or the Elon/Co Car match.
