That was then when pda was impactful. Not anymore.

No I get you but let me ask you this question. Can you name one club that doesn't recruit players or except players during tryouts. I can't imagine that PDA does that because they have tryouts as every team in the country does. Does PDA attract players from others team.....I would be a fool to say no they don't. But I can also say the same for every other team in the country. Kids leave teams because PARENTS as yourself and I either feel that the grass is greener on the otherside or we get feed up with how things are going with our kids development, etc. Its the PARENTS that do most of "RECRUITING" I know I do it for sure. If I see a kid that is killing it stands out sure I say something to the parent. Now do I pay any money to the parent...HECK NO....but sure as a parent I do share with them that they should look at our club and its up to them to do that. FREE COUNTRY right and nothing against that. There is not a team in NJ that doesn't have turn over from year to year. Some more than others but it happens.

Lol you know I ride with RU any day of the week no mystery there and no mystery of who I am. With all my grammatical errors and run on sentences, how could anyone not tell. Well I went to sleep but what are you being up that late lol other than taking shots at my RU team. Let it be known that I am hurt by our early exit as well as others and we should be. We are fans and some of us are fair weather fans and when RU is winning it's easy to be on the bandwagon. Just wait till RU football turn it around again.

It has been quite sone time since RU football was relevant. I guess big mike is interested in your younger daughter so you are publicly towing the company line. I get it.

Thanks but again we can agree to disagree. I give PDA and MO all the credit because without the ENVIRONMENT they provided there I can tell you no way. That ENVIRONMENT includes all the kids that are there and all the kids that they played with and against. The soccer ENVIRONMENT that NJ produces is not matched in any part of the country. My kid is successful is because of your kid and my neighbors kids etc. My kids are growing up and grew up under the RU influence and I tell everyone my kids are RU products thats just a FACT. Sure their mother and I drove them from place to place but it was the ENVIRONMENT that was created at those places that my kids wanted to be a part of and that they struggled in to survive. Again we can agree to disagree but my kids are the product of RU and PDA with the likes of all of NJ, PA and NY because the kids from those areas are the kids that she either trained with or competed against for the most part of their career and I PUT THE TRI-STATE against any part of the country any day of the week.

so Rutgers raised your kids. All you did was drive them around. Interesting perspective.

Again when is the last time UVA has won a Nat. Championship....I'll wait...oh and nothing against UVA but the last time RU played UVA in a meaningful game If I recall RU beat them in 2015 I think. And Two well know Tarheels are Tobin Heath and Heather O'Reilly who played where........PDA, and from the state of NJ. Just saying NJ produces some stellar kids. Cant wait until Ana Cook from Matchfit----Stanford and product of NJ shines on that USWNT.

So you go from a "better on the day evaluation" to pulling out PDA history and the TarHeels? What is your point. That Rutgers is on a par with UVA but not UNC as a program?

I been RU since birth my guy. I was born and raised a RU fan. I even committed to them for Football against wishes from my handlers at the time but I will always support RU in soccer, football, baseball, swimming, field hockey, golf, basketball (love some Vivian Stringer) etc. So "publicly towing the company line" is what I am doing in your opinion....so be it I am not afraid to support any team that I have passion for. My kid is too young to even be in any colleges thought and my oldest is elsewhere so that's really irrelevant about why I would support RU. What team do you support. I can only assume RU and you are hurt as I am about us losing but we need more like you to support our team. And we need more like you to come out and bring your kids to the games and show the support that you do. Don't worry your friends won't think less of you. There are at the games also...I SEE THEM!!!

What do you do for your kids or how you brainwash them into thinking the not is a more interesting perspective and you know I know who YOU are by the way.

Sorry dude. My kid played out of state and like yours, is still playing out of state. Never been an RU fan. Still not. I did enjoy the Sopranos though.

I hold RU to the same as I hold everyone else. We are a great team and one game good or bad does not define who we are and certainly who we aren't. There will be hundreds of games played and in some there will be losers and some winners. Have you as an athlete ever won a game that you felt you lost or lost a game that you felt that you actually won. Its sports and any great athlete will tell you its not how you lose but its how you come back after that lose. Granted its nothing that the team can do now because their season is over but now is the off season for not just them but several others and more to come this weekend after the rounds play out.

Doesn't make sense to what you are saying. If you are not at all a fan and played out of STATE from youth through high school......then why do you ever care about a RU Thread on Talking Soccer...lol lol lol oh I think I know who this is also...MY BROTHER what's up

PDA is still riding the coattails of the ladies that put them on the map and put on the baby blue shirts.

Btw carli loyd was a town team kid that went to RU not pda. Big mike needs to turn over other stones and not get tunnel vision and just look at the gals in his club for. RU recruits.

Would have liked a local team...with a #4 ranking to at least get past first round. Epic program failure.

Listen in your eyes yes a failure, but you have yet to tell me a program that you SUPPORT and ALL IN on. Then lets compare APPLES to APPLES
