Deliberately scheduling a 'congratulations' tweet for the losing team is a genius move for social media engagement

That is a genius plan to get people talking about [us]... every account should do that... schedule a tweet for 12 hours later and be like 'Congratulations to the [losing team]'... and everyone be like 'Oh, when scheduling tweets goes wrong.' And then sweet interactions.

This is a verified tactic used by social media managers to boost reach.

Nick Saban was secretly relieved to lose the National Championship because it provides bulletin board material

I think that there's like a small part of Nick Saban that was kind of relieved that he lost. That was like more rat poison. He's happy that he lost because now he's got all sorts of bulletin board material for next year.

Nick Saban has never expressed relief at losing a national title game; he is known as one of the most competitive coaches in history.

Nick Saban is the greatest coach of all time

He's won it all. He's the greatest coach of all time. Losing one, it's obviously disappointing for Alabama, but man, Georgia, what an unbelievable game.

Nick Saban retired in 2024 with a record seven national championships (six at Alabama, one at LSU), widely cementing him as the greatest in the eyes of the sport's history.

Kirby Smart is sneaky athletic and could probably dunk a basketball

He probably has like a 30 inch vertical leap... I think Kirby sneaky athletic. I think he can get rim.

There is no video evidence of Kirby Smart dunking, but his 5'11" frame and former playing career make a 30-inch vertical plausible but unverified.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
