    Was that the degree he ended up getting because he left early? I was under the impression he was a computer science major.

    It is my understanding that the networking potential for Stanford grads is legendary, especially in the Bay Area. (On the other hand, making six figures in the Bay Area isn't that fabulous, either.)

    When he was a freshman, he took a lot of computer science courses and told in an interview that he was interested in computers and medicine. But before he left he declared his major as "Science, Technology & Society" --which is still a four-year major, but it's not science or engineering. Or mathematics.

    And, as we all know, anything that is not hard science, mathematics or engineering, is stamp collecting.

    If y'all want to know my thoughts on the biggest problem in this league, these two consecutive posts highlight it.

    There are a few gems, but the floor is pretty low.

    I'll see if FCD will trade #GoodGuyAtiba to the Rapids for him.

    That was a comical misstep from Azira.

    Its a pretty clear-cut conclusion to make when judging the trajectory of both clubs when Pareja left for Dallas.

    Alan Gordon successfully did a spin move. For shame Minnesota defender, for shame.

    You don't go to college for education. You go to get a diploma (10%) and to get connections (90%).

    Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can learn what they teach online, these days (you'd have to rent a lab for the experimental part, though --and that's impossible in many fields, can't rent an electron microscope or a supercollider).

    In his first stint with LA, he managed one brilliant dribbling move in every game he played.

    But never more than one. And he always followed that by skying the ball over the bar or shooting straight at the keeper or being so seemingly amazed that he'd beaten the defender that the guy he just beat would recover and strip the ball from him.

    Worrying about FCD's eventual post-Pareja hire occupies a more prominent part of my thinkmeat than it should at this point.

    I'd put Curtin under Onalfo, but that's me.

    For years I've been hearing about the tactical superiority of NASL coaches over those in MLS. But I've watched some NASL games this year, and I'm far from persuaded.

    I just don't think the coaching depth in this country is very deep. And a lot of coaches in MLS (and, I'd add the USL and NASL) are there for reasons other than the quality of their coaching.

    But it's not like there are better candidates waiting in the wings.

    I predict a Colorado goal that'll leave both teams' fans feeling unsatisfied.

    Colorado wouldn't even beat the worst expansion team in recent memory in a home and home knockout series.
