Super stupid.

YSMACK

I think it is called right. Red, free kick. Goal would be better than red.

YSMACK

At least it was outside the box. Gotta park the bus for the next hour.

The crown LES had in the 80s and 90s has been gone for a long time.

No more crown at all?

I went down and looked at field level. No crown at all, at least not for now.

Crown?

Very minimal crown that I can see. But they’re down to the way sublevel at this point.

Even more reason to stay.

AF_Puma

One big question though is what is his offensive philosophy? I don't think that

It’s mostly about NIL dollars is my guess. (Maybe overly pessimistic guess)

If it was just about NIL they might have been gone anyway.

Well, by asking, I am doubling down on your question.
