Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
All we've heard about for ages is how dominant the SEC is, how SEC speed will revolutionize the game, and how every other conference is second-rate. After being subjected to a BS national championship game last year, we have since seen Florida get dominated by Louisville, LSU get "upset" by Clemson, Mississippi State get rocked by the 6th best team in the Big Ten, and two more "top teams" out of the SEC get played closely by Big Ten teams playing two bowls higher than they had earned.
One Mississippi State player even had the nerve to say "If you're fast in the Big Ten, you stand out. If you're fast in the SEC, you're just another player" before getting embarassed on the field by Northwestern.
After constantly playing garbage nonconference schedules and living under the excuse that any loss was "to another great SEC team", can we finally put an end to it all and call this what it is? Another average conference that has its strengths, and an incredible run of luck in bowl games.
Go Notre Dame, keep exposing the "best conference in the country, hands down" for what they really are.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
BTW, for me it was when foxsport ran this after Vanderbilt won his game
"The Southeastern Conference is so strong that even Vanderbilt, yes Vandy, is winning like the Commodores haven't in nearly a century."
I love college football, but I hate when schools, conferences, medias, fans are full of themselves.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
No Buckeye wants to see Michigan win a national title, and no one at USC wants UCLA to get a crystal football. Yet, somehow, I constantly see Auburn fans cheering for Alabama like the Tigers achieve something if the they win!

Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
Now that I've been down here for 31 years and have been close to Florida football and the SEC, there is no doubt that they are the most dominant conference in football, just as the Big Ten is in basketball.
I would love to see the Buckeyes get another chance at one of the SEC schools again, but numbers and stats don't lie. Right now, they are top dog in NCAA Division I Football.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
LOL. I love heart broken OSU fans. This post has butt hurt written all over it.
SEC football is above all right now by a wide margin.
Please, save your fingers the typing in trying to justify otherwards

Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
Alabama is a talented team, there is no doubt about that, but last year's NCG was a joke of a game and a gimmie for the conference. In previous years they were a good conference, but the "top to bottom" comments are completely inaccurate.
The Florida and LSU games were only "upsets" because they were heavy favorites. They were only heavy favorites because they play in the SEC. Ergo, the conference is overrated once you get past Alabama.
Alabama is above all (except Texas A&M, Oregon, and Ohio State) right now by a wide margin. Like every other conference in the country, the strength of the SEC lies at the top and falls off dramatically after the top one or two teams.
Please, save your fingers the typing when you are next choosing whether to argue without having a legitimate point.

Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
I love the Buckeyes and root for the Big Ten, except for Michigan, I will not root for them, I dont care if its for a national title. I have a ton of UK fans because I went to school at EKU. Every weekend, we would get drunk and have this conversation. All these ******* UK fans would have to contribute is how the SEC is the best. But if it werent for Bama and LSU and Florida, the SEC wouldnt have that many titles in the last 8 years. You get these UK fans who root for Florida and Tennessee when it comes to these bowl games, and they are supposed to be their rivals. UK does nothing to contribute to the SEC in football. Hell, the bottom feeders in the Big Ten could beat UK in football. I just hate when people root for their rivals in conference bowl games. I would never root for Michigan.
I love seeing UK **** in football. Bama, LSU and Florida are the SEC. Then you have USC, A&M and Georgia in the second tier. A&M may reach the top tier next year with Johnny Football.
UK *****, Ole Miss is average at best, Miss St is average at best, Vandy is average at best, Mizzou was awful this year, Arkansas was garbage, Auburn was one of the worst teams in the country
Here Us......ROAR!!!
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
I honestly don't think that UK could even compete in the MAC in football...
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
Are there a couple of overrated teams in the SEC? Sure. Are they overrated as a conference? Not hardly.
FYI, the Big-10 only played two bowls against teams in their home state, the Rose Bowl with Stanford and the Meineke Bowl against Texas Tech.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
If you watched the Georgia or SC games, you know that those games went down to the 4th quarter, and were much closer than they should have been. Especially with Saban's assertion that Georgia belonged in a BCS game. There is only one team in the SEC that belonged in a BCS game this year.
Ohio State, the best team in the B1G, was ineligible, and could not play in the Rose Bowl (or NCG), where they would have been.
Penn State, the second best team in the B1G, was ineligible, and could not play in the Rose Bowl/Capital One bowl.
Stanford (#1 in the Pac-12) got to play against the 3rd best team in the conference, Wisconsin, which should have been in the Outback Bowl.
The Gator Bowl should have had Nebraska, et cetera, et cetera. Every B1G team was playing two spots above the matchup they earned. Winning any bowls this year was a victory for them. Losing the Sugar Bowl raises questions about every team in the SEC except Alabama.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
Alabama vs. Ohio State=Alabama was a cut above everybody this year, and we've watched the Buckeyes walk through their Big-10 schedule only to get beaten by big boys from other conferences to think that OSU would win this one. Advantage SEC.
Georgia vs.Northwestern=Georgia beat Nebraska in their bowl game and Nebraska beat Northwestern during the regular season. Advantage SEC.
Texas A&M vs. Nebraska=Give A&M the tiebreaker here for being the only team to beat the national champs and their extremely impressive bowl win over Oklahoma. Nebraska lost to Georgia by 2 TD's, and A&M was playing better football at the end of the year. The Aggies scored 30+ in 5 of their last 6 games and the Huskers defense went into the toilet at the end of the year. Advantage SEC.
South Carolina vs. Penn St.=SoS favors South Carolina. Their only two losses were to LSU and Florida. Penn State has a couple of nice W's over Northwestern and Wisconsin, but losses to Ohio and Virginia early in the year really makes it hard to go with the Nittney Lions in this one. Plus, SC beat Clemson on the road in their last game of their normal schedule. Advantage SEC.
Florida vs. Michigan=Florida certainly has a huge edge in wins, although Michigan played tough against South Carolina. Looking at their respective schedules, Florida has a big OOC W over Florida State on the road, while Michigan lost to both Alabama and Notre Dame. Michigan's one big W was over Northwestern, which isn't even that impressive when you consider Florida beat Texas A&M and the team Michigan lost their bowl game to, South Carolina. Advantage SEC.
LSU vs. Wisconsin=Neither team has a quality OOC victory. Wisconsin lost to Oregon State and Stanford while LSU obliterated Washington, but even that isn't a great comparison. At the end of the day, you've got a 10 win LSU team matched up against a team who's lone quality W was in the Big-10 title game over a Nebraska team that beat them earlier in the year, and the only reason they were in that game was the two teams ahead of them were on probation. The Badgers had a lot of close calls against tough teams, but proved when the going gets tough, they fold up. LSU in a squeeker. Advantage SEC.
Vanderbilt vs. Michigan St.=Both teams lost to Northwestern, with Vandy on the road and Sparty at home. For best respective conference W's, Vandy beat Ole Miss while State beat Wisconsin. Vandy beat 7-6 ACC club NC State in their bowl, while State beat 7-6 Big-12 school TCU in theirs. TCU's best W was over Texas, while the Wolfpack's best W was over Florida St. Based on a marginally tougher bowl opponent and two more W's during the season, I gotta' go with Vandy. Advantage SEC.
Mississippi St. vs. Purdue=The Bulldogs hold the lone W over a D-1 team with a winning record between these two teams, beating Middle Tennessee St.[8-4] out of the Sun Belt. Based on that and their superior record, I'm going with the Bulldogs in this one. Advantage SEC.
Ole' Miss vs. Minnessotta=Ole' Miss beat Mississippi St. in the regular season and won their bowl game over Pitt. The Golden Gophers W's over bowl elligible teams came against Purdue and Syracuse. Have to go with the team with the winning record. Advantage SEC.
Missouri vs. Indiana=I am giving Mizzou the benefit of the doubt in this one due to the fact that they beat Beef-O-Brady's Bowl champions, UCF and Indiana didn't beat a bowl elligible team all year. Advantage SEC.
Tennessee vs. Iowa=The Vols knocked off NC State at home, while Iowa beat Sparty in 2OT on the road. Given the fact that Iowa went totally in the crapper and lost their last 6, if they had to play the week after the bowls, I would say advantage Volunteers. Advantage SEC.
Arkansas vs. Illinois=The Razorbacks beat Liberty Bowl champs, Tulsa. Illinois' best W was either W. Michigan, a 4-8 MAC school, or Charleston Southern, a 5-6 D2 school. Advantage SEC.
At the end of the day, your argument is basically that the SEC is falling off because the best team in the Big East beat the 5th best SEC team and the second best ACC team beat the 6th best team from the SEC.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
And you said winning ANY bowls is a victory for the Big 10. The SEC wants to win every bowl, and expects to.
If you put teams toe to toe, SEC would have more wins than the Big 10. Actually, put the SEC against any conference for that matter.

Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
THIS YEAR the Big Ten having any bowl wins is a big deal. THIS YEAR every Big Ten team was playing two bowls above the bowl they earned. The Big Ten expects to win their bowls, too, but not in a year when their best two teams have their slots occupied by 5 loss teams. Last year was an embarrassment for the Big Ten. No one will argue against that. But this year, the SEC rode their reputation instead of their talent. Except for Alabama.
I'm not defending the Big Ten in any other year. I'm not defending the Big Ten at all. I am saying that the SEC is not any better than any other conference. When the #3 team in the country gets dismantled by the #21 team in the country. The #3 team was obviously overrated. When it takes a top-ten, two-loss team until the 4th quarter to beat a 5(or 4)-loss team, there is obviously not a huge gap between the two teams, and therefore definitely not the conferences as a whole.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
That is why I say they were overrated.
As to the rest of your argument, You can't compare post-bowl records to decide your imaginary bowl matchups. Whatever nonsense it was that you did also fails to take into account that there are 16 teams in the SEC, whilst the B1G only has 12. Therefore the 5th worst team in the SEC gets "matched up" against the worst team in the B1G. It doesn't work that way.
Also, as I keep repeating, I am not out to defend the Big Ten. I am only saying that every AQ conference is roughly on par with the others this year. The Big Ten only raises an interesting argument because of the ineligibility of their top two teams.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
There's a little bit of a double standard there when you say the SEC is overrated based on bowl results, but then say bowl results shouldn't factor into a hypothetical who could beat who.
There are actually only 14 teams in the SEC, so the bottom two get dropped, but it really doesn't change the comparisons a whole lot if you throw in the two worst teams instead of the 3rd and 4th worst teams.
I'm also trying to figure out how every Big-10 team was playing two bowls higher than they should have been. Nebraska had a better conference and overall record than Penn State. Michigan had the same conference and overally record as Penn State. Northwestern had a worse conference record but better overall record than Penn State.
Re: Can we finally blow the whistle on how overrated the SEC is?
And we've already discussed why conference records don't matter in the Big Ten. I'll let you refer to earlier in the conversation for that one.
Ohio State is better than Penn State (OSU undefeated in the division). Penn State is better than Wisconsin (PSU's only division loss to OSU). Wisconsin is infinitely better than Nebraska (70-31 at a neutral site. Need I say more?). Nebraska is better than Michigan (Nebraska undefeated in the division). Michigan is better than Northwestern (UM's only division loss to Nebraska). Northwestern is better than Michigan State (Northwestern's only division losses to UM & Nebraska). The rest of the B1G rankings get a little less black-and-white, and a lot less relevant.
As much as I hate the transitive property in football, this season shakes out to be pretty definitive for the top teams in the B1G.
In summary:
#1 Ohio State
#2 Penn State
#3 Wisconsin
#4 Nebraska
#5 Michigan
#6 Northwestern
#7 Michigan State
By the way, I didn't say it wouldn't factor into a "who would beat who". I said it shouldn't factor into "who is matched up with who", as you are using win totals to rank teams instead of divisional records. It skews things because of huge variance between OOC scheduling difficulty.

"If that choosing of aggression for sex truly is a sexual orientation on the scale that it's occurred in history and is still occurring, we are totally, totally, totally screwed as a species in terms of the future. The suffering will only increase."
The First Rule Of Life is: Never let reality depress you. It's the only reality you'll ever have.
The Second Rule Of Life is: Never let people's actions depress you. They're the only people there are.
THIS is what it is; better to know it so you can deal effectively with it and thereby move reality just *that* much more towards the light by making use of what opportunities you were given or can find.
The only alternative to this is to hate people and what they are and to hate reality, which makes you a misanthrope. This leads directly to Hitler.
Seriously, at the core, yes you've identified the fuel that fuels the fire. For sure, I agree with you. OTOH, all is not lost. In the future, in the near far future, say 200-300 years, we'll have the knowledge we need to remake human kind into something more kindly. In fact, long term, that is humanity's destiny however little that may go down with present day humans.
It was Einstein who said (uh, about) "the bomb has changed everything but our thinking". He might as well have said "we've understood and mastered everything but ourselves."
You can't choose what time in history and what the level of development of society and science will be in the time you live. If you have any accuracy to your historical imagination, you realize you we're fortunate enough to be living in one of the most desirable times ever, and certainly the most desirable time excluding say certain brief arrangements for certain classes of people which occurred in the past 200 years. It's better to be just well off, or even middle class, than any given Pharaoh of Egypt, for instance.
But we weren't born into the future, when things are even better. That's our lot. And why will things be even better? Because science progresses and drags human society, kicking and screaming, with it. Because in the future no one will feel like murdering and plundering. Because in the future the extremes of envy, of spitefulness of disconnectedness of the seven deadly sins and perhaps even a few more beyond those, will be rounded off the human character via genetic engineering. Because in the future, everyone will be gorgeous, and have great teeth.
And those people will look back at our prodigious video and picture output and say "Wow. People were so funny looking back then." and "Wow, how could human beings even bring themselves to DO that to each other?".
So your mind struck on a presently unaddressable problem and fell into despair. Don' t stay too long there. Remember that everything you count as good, and every happy moment any human being has ever spent has been realized and spent in a world probably less good than the one you occupy, and by a long shot less good.
We're here with the good lives and hopes we might have today because our ancestors kept swinging. Your desire to survive, to see the species survive, to see the world remade into something more humane is joined by an unbroken chain of people extending all the way back into pre-cvilization who just kept going. This is one, long, intergenerational group effort towards a goal, the only goal there is or has ever been, and are you going to be the generation that lays down that burden and just gives up? Really? Really?
One thing you are already blessed with that past generations could not lift themselves with is the certain knowledge that there's a cure. for what ails us. We can't implement that cure today, but just knowing that such a thing can exist is revolutionary. Thoughtful and sensitive members of previous generations had indeed to resign themselves to the thought that we're just perma-fucked. You get to know that we're not.
All we have to do is survive another 300 years and people just like us will live the lives we wish we had. I've always considered this a type of immortality myself. That future softwarevisualization is not just a lot like me, he is me, albeit wiped clean, started over, rebooted, alive, well and equal to the day before him. Tally ho!
But all this is predicated on us surviving. And then one thinks of the Koch brothers and one realizes that the war for this fragile thing we call civilization against those people and forces who would destroy it is not over. Not by a long shot.

text: Things that go well with jelly: toast, peanut butter, crackers... and you! Before you go smearing a jar of grape jelly all over yourself, let us clarify. We're talking about jelly sandals, you silly goose. You remember those squishy shoes from the 90s that your mom used to buy in packs? Ya know, the ones you practically lived in when you were a youngster? Well they're baaaaaaaack...and we're all about it. Jelly sandals have always been fun and affordable, but now they're super chic? Say what?! Yes, jelly shoes are majorly hip. Why? Because jelly sandals make you feel young, wild, and free. And that carefree feeling will never go out of style. There's nothing like a pair of comfortable jelly sandals to give your outfit a fun and youthful look. Our favorite thing about old school jelly sandals is that they come in a a wide variety of fun colors and cool designs. But our most favorite jelly sandal right now? No doubt about it- it's the glittery clear jelly sandal. Why? They go with any outfit. The clear upper compliments any outfit and the light sprinkling of glitter adds a bit of pizazz. But if you're not into all that jazz, we've got tons of other jelly sandals to choose from. We've got the coolest collection of jelly thongs, jelly t-straps, jelly platforms, and jelly flip-flops in every color imaginable. So take a trip down memory lane and slip your feet into a pair of these childhood staples. And if you're too young to understand what all the hype is about, then do yourself a favor and try a pair out for yourself. GoJane's lowest priced jelly sandal is a mere $10. With affordable prices like that, why wouldn't you get a pair (or two, or five) to mess around in this summer? Who knew jelly sandals could be so trendy?! We did!

- My dog loves these and since he is allergic to beef it is a reasonable alternative to the regular rawhides to satisfy his chewing needs. Also helps keep his teeth clean!

3-Pack of all natural bison rawhide rolls that your dog will love! Our rawhide chews are a healthy option for all dogs, even those with allergies or stomachs that are easily upset. They are carefully made with no hormones, no antibiotics, and no harmful chemicals. Rawhide is also proven to help strengthen jaws and freshen stinky doggy breath.
Treat Creation
These rawhide rolls are made of 100% U.S. free-range bison found primarily in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Colorado. The hides are collected from USDA inspected facilities and then prepared without the use of harmful chemicals. There is a lack of tanneries in the America, so the hides are then sent to Mexico for final processing.
Once complete, the rawhide treats are sent back to a facility in Louisville for final inspection and packaging.
While rawhide rolls are completely digestible and safe to eat, we recommend supervising your pooch while he gnaws on the rawhide to ensure a large piece is not accidentally swallowed.
Product Highlights
Made from U.S. Bison
Contains 3 Rolls
Only Natural Ingredients Used
Freshens Breath
Each roll is approximately 6 in. long (Diameter is similar to that of a quarter)

15-12, 31-16, 21-9, 12-22
BK Ventspils routed Tampereen Pyrinto 79-59 to underline their superiority in Group C of the EuroChallenge.
The final score barely tells the story of Ventspils' dominance as Tampereen actually outscored them by 10 points in the final quarter once the hosts had relaxed.
They did not break the game open until the second quarter but when it came the run was devastating.
Donald Sims' jump-shot started an 18-2 spurt that made it 33-18 on a Davis Lejasmeiers lay-up.
The points just kept on coming for Ventspils, and a 9-0 tear in the third quarter made it 67-34 on Martins Laksa's jump-shot with 57 seconds left in the frame.
From there, they could afford to ease off, with the reserves joining the party.
Tampereen cut the gap slightly, but the contest was long since over.
Ventspils shot 30-of-56 (53.6%) compared to 20-of-59 (33.9%) for the visitors.
Arturs Berzins led Ventspils with 19 points while Meiers had 13. Folarin Campbell and Laksa collected 10 apiece.
Kenneth Lowe led Tampereen with 12 points while Jesse Niemi and Antero Lehto finished with 10 each.
Tampereen Pyrinto player Antero Lehto"We played very well in the first quarter when we executed our plays well, but after that we had an intense drop down. I don't know why it happened and the game was over for us. Ventspils is a good team and they deserved this win."
Tampereen Pyrinto head coach Ville Tuominen "We lost to a better team, let's be honest. We played OK in the first quarter, but then our defence and our intensity dropped. We stopped having any pressure on the ball and Ventspils, as an experienced team, used this situation. We gave up too early."
Ventspils player Donald Sims"It was a good win. We defended our first three quarters. Last quarter got away from us, but this was a good home win. I hope the team will continue to play good defence and keep it going."
Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers"I am happy for the result of the game - for the team, individual players and their attitude on the court. They had a serious attitude towards the game. For us every game is important for our growth individually and as a team. I think this was a great win."

CARSON, Calif. – When Mike Magee joined the LA Galaxy via a trade with the New York Red Bulls in 2009; he was just a young kid of 24. Four years later, Magee has blossomed grown up before all our very eyes.
CARSON, Calif. --Earlier in the week, LA Galaxy forward Jack McBean graduated from high school at the ripe age of 18.
At the age that many of his peers at Corona Del Mar High School are planning their futures, McBean has already earned two consecutive MLS Cups. But like many of those teenagers seeking better futures, McBean is hoping to contribute more for the Galaxy in 2013.
A season after making three appearances and tallying three goals in all competitions, McBean is hoping for a larger role in LA's offense this season. The young forward is already off to a good start as he tallied in LA's 5-0 preseason victory over the U.S. Under-17's on Friday.
For more on McBean and his offseason preparations as well as his goals for 2013, read my piece here.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may have begun their preseason slate on Friday with a 5-0 victory over the U.S. Under-17 national team, but they took time to offer their support to former LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham, who signed with Paris St. Germain on Friday.
Beckham signed a five-month deal with PSG where he will offer his entire salary to a Parisian children's charity.
On Friday, Bruce Arena and Robbie Keane offered their thoughts to Beckham's move.
ARENA: "I think it's great. We wish him the very best. I hope it works out and he wins another championship, he has a good experience and he helps PSG and continues to move forward in the final years. I'll use plural because I'm never going to question him because he just keeps going."
KEANE: "It's great. He spoke to me yesterday; he said he was in a very charitable mood so I asked him for his Rolls Royce. He said no. I'm delighted for him, he loves playing and he obviously knows the manager very, very well. I'm sure he'll do well, they're a great team and it looks like they'll be successful for a long, long time and it's good for him to be a part of it."
CARSON, Calif. –Omar Gonzalez returned to the LA Galaxy fold on Thursday after spending three weeks with the U.S. national team and was promptly thrown into action in Friday's preseason match against the U.S. Under-17's.
Gonzalez started the match alongside Tommy Meyer and went 45 minutes as LA defeated the U-17's 5-0. In his first game back from U.S. duty, Gonzalez was largely untested as the U-17's registered just a single shot on frame during his 45 minute stint.
The preseason match was Gonzalez's second in four days as he went 90 minutes in the U.S.' scoreless draw against Canada on Tuesday. Although that match may have ended in a frustrating draw, Gonzalez was pleased with his performance throughout his first national team camp.
"The most important part was just getting to be with [head coach Jurgen Klinsmann] and the coaching staff for a few weeks. It was a good opportunity for me to be with them day in and day out and to see that I'm taking things really seriously," said Gonzalez. "I'm looking for this opportunity and that was good. It was also good to be part of camp and work hard with all those guys. It was fun to build chemistry with guys around the league."
However as he looks to help the Galaxy win their third straight title and eventually crack the U.S. national team set up, Gonzalez believes that he can still perfect his game.
"Of course, I don't think my game is perfect. There are definitely things that I need to work on in my game," said Gonzalez. "I just want to fine-tune everything in my game. Maybe pass a little bit better, make sure that I'm dominant in the air and my vocal presence."
Klinsmann will announce the U.S. squad for Tuesday's World Cup Qualifier against Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Monday.
"I hope I get the invite," affirmed Gonzalez
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy opened their preseason with a 5-0 win against the U.S. Under-17's on Friday.
LAGalaxy.com has provided a full highlights package of the match which you can watch below...
LAGalaxy.com also provided this recap with some brief reaction from Carlo Cudicini, Bruce Arena, Robbie Keane, and others...
CARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy's newest number 23 made his first appearance with the club on Friday.
Carlo Cudicini made his club debut in LA's 5-0 preseason victory over the United States Under-17's on Friday, going 30 minutes and making a single save on the day. The match marked Cudicini's first game as the club's number 23—which was previously worn at the Galaxy by midfielder David Beckham—a jersey number that he wore for much of his 15-year stint in England.
Although he was largely untested by the young U.S. players, Cudicini was pleased with the showing.
"It was nice to be outside and play 90 minutes around for the team," said Cudicini. "It's good after the first ten days of preseason; it was good for them to play around a little bit. It felt a good impression, it's early, but we have time to improve."
The match was Cudicini's first with reigning MLS Cup MVP centerback Omar Gonzalez marshaling the defense in front of him. Gonzalez—and teammate A.J. DeLaGarza—returned to LA training on Thursday from International duty with the U.S. national team and made an quite the impression on the Italian goalkeeper on Friday.
"Absolutely, it was a good impression," said Cudicini. "He's a player that has a lot of energy and he commanded things very well as a [centerback] so I think he has a bright future in front of him."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy opened their preseason schedule with a 5-0 victory over the United States Under-17's national team.
Mike Magee, Robbie Keane, Greg Cochrane, Jose Villarreal, and Jack McBean scored as the Galaxy impressed in their first preseason match. The Galaxy first team began the match before substitutions began at the 30th minute with Brian Perk replacing Carlo Cudicini.
A few notes from the match…
*The Galaxy rolled out the following lineup to start the first half…
*Carlo Cudicini – who is now wearing the number 23, which was formerly held by David Beckham—went 30 minutes in goal. Cudicini made one save on a shot by Rubio Rubin. The U-17's attacker's chance was the best opportunity of the match. Cudicini was replaced by Brian Perk in the 30th minute.
*Gyasi Zardes began the match at right midfield, but moved up top with Mike Magee taking over the right midfield spot during the last ten minutes of the game. Zardes fared well on the right side, setting up several chances.
*At the second half, the Galaxy rolled out the following lineup…
*Hector Jimenez started the second half as a central midfielder. Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters after the match that Jimenez started in the midfield after Michael Stephens turned his ankle in practice on Thursday.
*Greg Cochrane was one of the more impressive players in the second half as his energy on the left side helped LA create pockets to exploit in the U.S. U-17's defense.
*Brian Perk came off at the 60 minute mark for goalkeeper Brian Rowe.
*Arena told reporters that a "resolution" is forthcoming on goalkeeper William Hesmer.
*Arena on when Landon Donovan will report: "nothing right now, but we should have something shortly.
*The United States Under-17's rolled out the following lineups in the first half. Although they are listed in a 4-4-2, they would move to a 4-3-3 with Rubin joining Selemani and Baird when in the attack.
---------------------------- Jeff Caldwell-------------------------
Elijah Martin---Tommy Redding---Justen Glad---John Requejo Jr.
Rubin Rubin---- Ben Swanson---Christopher Lema----Alan Winn
------------Ahinga Selemani-----------Corey Baird--------------------
Second half:
Martin-----Erik Palmer-Brown----Conor Donovan---Caleb Smith
Swanson--------Junior Flores-----Angel Heredia----Bradford Jamieson
---------------------Nathan Kohl----Wesley Wade---------------
Robbie Keane is back in Southern California.
The LA Galaxy's Irish forward returned to The Home Depot Center practice field on Thursday after completing his physical earlier in the day. Keane has spent the last two weeks training with his former club Tottenham Hotspur.
"I always look forward to getting back into the swing of things," Keane told LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan. "I'm looking forward to really getting into training with the lads…For me; it's been a long break. Certainly you get those niggles you had to get sorted out. I feel good."
Keane wasn't the only player to return as defenders A.J. DeLaGarza and Omar Gonzalez both returned from International duty.
Former MLS defender Alex Yi has taken over as head coach of the LA Galaxy Under-18's.
Yi replaces Eddie Soto, who will now serve as the head coach of the LA Under-15's. For a little bit more on Yi, read his bio here.
A few other notes from the day...
*Former FC Dallas forward Brek Shea completed his move to Stoke City.
*The San Jose Earthquakes were unable to secure another loan or full transfer for midfielder Simon Dawkins who moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Aston Villa
*D.C. United extended head coach Ben Olsen's contract through the 2014 season.
*On Wednesday, i spoke to several LA Galaxy players about their upcoming friendly against Club Tijuana.
*Lastly, the LA Galaxy kick off their preseason slate on Friday against the U.S. Under-17 national team. U-17 head coach Richie Williams announced the squad earlier in the day...

David Beckham's newest challenge will take place in Paris, France.
After nearly signing with Paris St. Germain a year ago before opting to return to the LA Galaxy, the former Galaxy midfielder has joined the French giants on a five-month deal. During that time, Beckham's entire salary will be donated to a local children's charity.
"I chose here because I can see what the club are trying to do, the players they're bringing in," said Beckham in front of a packed press conference at PSG's Parc des Princes stadium. "I won't receive any salary, we have decided my salary will go towards a local children's charity in Paris and that is one of the things we are very excited and proud to do…I am very lucky to have earned what I have earned throughout my career."
At PSG, Beckham will be reunited with head coach Carlo Ancelotti and director of football Leonardo who served as the managers of AC. Milan during Beckham's loans to the Italian outfit in 2009 and 2010. Beckham joins PSG's cavalcade of stars which includes Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimović, Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, and Argentine midfielder Javier Pastore among many others.
"I'm pleased to be able to welcome David Beckham to our club," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said during the press conference. "He will be joining us for five months until June 30."
During the press conference, the 37-year-old Englishman—who is now the oldest player in the French Ligue 1—deflected any speculation that he would retire after his contract with PSG ends. Beckham did state however, that he was still committed to serving as an ambassador for MLS despite his departure, but offered no indication on when he may choose to invest in MLS.
"Who knows. I was part of MLS for six years with huge success off the field and in the last three years, we had huge success on the field. I will continue to be an ambassador for football in America," Beckham said. "I enjoyed living there, my family enjoyed living there and it was something that was very special for us over those years. I always said to my commitment to football in the United States will continue. I will continue to be an ambassador there and if I can grow the game in other places than great."

Today's guests:
chief actuary
Social Security Administration
If you thought actuaries were so boring they make accountants seem exciting, think again. Actuaries work throughout the federal government. As part of our weeklong multimedia series, Rise of the Money People, we asked an actual actuary about his work and how it can help federal agencies improve their financial planning. Stephen Goss is chief actuary at the Social Security Administration. Our first question was, what do actuaries do?
Efficiency and Effectiveness of Federal Programs and the Federal Workforce
Over the past three years, the Government Accountability Office has found more than 160 areas where, it seems, federal programs are either stepping on each others toes or just not coordinating their services. The most recent report, issued this week, highlights 31 areas. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) oversees the Senate subcommittee on government efficiency. We spoke to him as part of our weeklong multi-media series Rise of the Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make final assault on wasted billions. Tester says his panel is rooting out duplication and gaps in federal services.
associate adjunct professor
University of Maryland - University College
A lack of budgetary independence is hampering the ability of inspectors general to detect fraud. That's one of the findings in a new study on IG offices across the country. Dr. Matthew Harris is an associate adjunct professor at the University of Maryland University College. He led the study and he joins us with more.
House Oversight Committee on Government Operations
Today, to close our weeklong multimedia series Rise of the Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make final assault on wasted billions, we're looking at Congress' role in federal financial management. Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) has long accused the government of being too big. Now he chairs a new House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations. That gives him greater control over one of his pet issues, disposing of federal property and a lot more.
Friday morning federal headlines - April 12, 2013
The Morning Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp discuss throughout the show each day. The Newscast is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com users more information about the stories you hear on the air. In today's news, a new memorial honors civilian employees across government who have died while serving their country and the FBI has appointed a new leader of its terrorist screening center.
From Our Reporters
- Lawmakers are far from satisfied with the White House's proposals to change the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan. House Oversight and Government Reform members today wanted more details and data from the Office of Personnel Management. Still, committee members express the belief that the 50-year-old law creating the FEHBP is in need of a major update. Federal News Radio's executive editor Jason Miller tells us about the potential sticking points to making those proposals a reality.
- It's the final day in Federal News Radio's weeklong multimedia series: Rise of The Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make final assault on wasted billions. This morning, we take a look at the Defense Department's progress toward obtaining a clean audit opinion, a path that's dragged on for more than two decades. The department now has legal deadlines in place: an interim deadline of 2014 for an interim audit, and 2017 for a full audit. But as Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu reports, experts who are watching the process closely are almost universally skeptical that the Pentagon will meet those deadlines.

I'm already looking forward to this.
Who's thinking of going?
I wouldn't mind spending an extended Summer holiday over there in 2012.
I think the Poms will do a swell job of hosting it.

I'd love to go, it'll be just after I graduate so it would be awesome to go on a nice big overseas trip that included being there.
Whether it's affordable or not is the big question though.

Recruitment will start in 2010. We'll recruit volunteers from across the UK – from a range of communities and backgrounds. Our recruitment process will be transparent, open and fair. Our goal is to select applicants who meet our criteria and who will bring passion, enthusiasm and energy to the Games. Previous volunteering experience is not necessary.
We'll give each successful applicant a specific role, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to the Games. There will be two kinds of Games volunteer – specialist and generalist.
Specialist volunteers will have specific existing skills or qualifications that are needed for them to complete the role – for example, sport or medical training.
Generalist volunteers will not need any special skills or qualifications and will receive full training. They might be given roles in areas such as event services, uniform distribution and Village operations.
Have signed myself up on the site, let's see what happens...
I'm very interested in volunteering to do something at 2012, and if I can't do that then I'm definately going to watch as much of it as I can afford live.
I really hope its going to be awesome, but I also have a nagging doubt that something will go horribly wrong. I'm sure many Aussies, Greeks and Chinese experienced similar doubts before they hosted the games, and they were proved wrong so hopefully the same will happen in 2012.
Somebody has to...

RYAN VREDE reports on a compelling semi-final in which the Chiefs explored new depths in their game to beat the fancied Crusaders 20-17 in Hamilton.
These teams produced an epic three weeks ago at this venue, and, fittingly, considering the magnitude of the occasion, elevated their games to deliver one of the tensest (most tense) semi-finals in Super Rugby history.
It lacked for nothing, not technical skill, tactical intelligence, brutality, breathless passages, breathtaking individual skills. Neither the intangibles, like inspiring resilience and the desperation that accompanies that a deeply-rooted desire for victory, reflected in the pursuit of attacking and defensive inches. Nothing. Ultimately the Chiefs were marginally better, but that's all they needed to be.
The big name players had their moments, Cruden exhibiting once more that he is fast evolving into a flyhalf of the absolute highest quality, Williams showing his fire-proof temperament and McCaw valiantly attempting to rouse his men through deed and words. But tellingly the Crusaders' fulcrum, Dan Carter, fell well short of his high standards, making fundamental errors and lacking presence. He can't be blamed for the defeat, but his struggles undoubtedly contributed to it.
The Chiefs' line speed, physicality and accuracy in defence rocked the Saders, who uncharacteristically made numerous handling errors and regularly made themselves vulnerable to being turned over by runners isolating themselves. The Saders were never allowed to settle into their pattern and were made to look decidedly ordinary for the bulk of the contest.
By contrast the Chiefs buzzed on attack for much of the first half and then sustained their defensive effort and discipline through the next 40. With regards to the former, their back division profited from the potency of the strike runners in their pack. Cruden and Carter traded penalties to get the scoreboard rolling, but Williams ignited the contest with a scything break in a move that culminated in prolific prop Sona Taumalolo burrowing over from close range. The Chiefs extended their lead in the 25th minute when Robbie Robinson blitzed the defence before Williams sniped around an unguarded ruck fringe to set up Liam Messam. Cruden converted for a comfortable 17-6 lead.
The match situation called for a rebuttal from the seven-time champions and it came just before the break, Ryan Crotty darting through a depleted defensive line to score. Carter missed the conversion but trailing by just six the Saders would have felt confident given their pedigree and superior experience.
The arm-wrestle continued after the restart, with neither side able to impose their will. Carter kicked two penalties to Cruden's one, taking the match into the final quarter with the hosts ahead by three.
Understandably neither side were prepared to take risks with the stakes as high as they were, pragmatic play marking the closing stages. This of course was not uncharted territory for the Saders, but they were met by an irresistible force that absolutely refused to relinquish the inches the Saders sought, first to breach the tryline, then, in one final act of desperation, to set up Carter for the game-levelling drop-goal.
With every phase you could see the Chiefs' resolve deepen. Not here. Not now. Smash. Get up. Smash. Get up. There are varying things in sport that inspire people. The determination the Chiefs showed in those dying minutes holds universal appeal. Every tackle drove the Saders further away from their goal until finally the ball was grassed under pressure.
Massive celebration. The kings are culled. The Chiefs now have to ensure they complete their ascent to the throne.

ALTAMAHAW — It was a sweep that put the versatility of Brian King's strength on full display.
The Gibsonville driver won both of the twin Modifieds features Friday night at Ace Speedway, collecting a pair of non-points victories that were different in their requirements.
King supplied the division's quickest qualifying effort, a lap of 15.499 seconds, and proceeded to flex his substantial muscle while dominating the opening 25-lap race in breakaway fashion.
His No. 17 car started at the front of the first 10-car field and increasingly padded what became a commanding lead.
Then, in the nightcap, King charged from sixth place, picking his way forward through traffic, before patiently delivering a pass of Jerry Scott's leading No. 88 car with 10 laps remaining.
It was a winning maneuver five laps in the making, with King carefully searching for the proper angle, until powering out of turn two and battling Scott side-by-side down the backstretch.
"Jerry was doing what he had to do. He got down and started using the low line," King said. "So I started trying to set him up and go in higher and cut across and keep my momentum up and try to run up beside him, like I did.
"Everybody drove a great race and, man, that was a lot of fun. That's the most fun I've had over here in a while."
Corbett Ridge's Scott, who led the first 15 laps of the second 25-lapper, placed second. Pfafftown's Randy Butner finished third. Devin Steele of Stuart, Va., and Winston-Salem teenager Dylan Ward came in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Steele finished a distant second in the opening race, followed by Butner in third, Gibsonville's Phil Bryant in fourth and Scott in fifth.
Ace's points events take effect next week and King — in what could prove to be an ominous sign for the rest of the division — seemed quite pleased with his car's performance at this early stage on the racing calendar.
He said he arrived at the speedway Friday night having logged just two test sessions during the offseason, a considerably light amount of practice work by his standards.
"This thing was good right off the truck," King said. "I've tweaked on a couple things … and I've ended up right back where I started, where I showed up the first day.
"Right now this thing's good. I'm sure we'll have to chase it a little bit with the weather. But right now, they've got to chase me."
-- Friday night's other non-points winners at Ace were Lexington's Kenny Bost (25-lap Sportsman), Ward (25-lap Super Street Stocks) and Silver Valley's Danny Brewer (twin 20-lap Street Stocks).
Here are Friday night's results from Ace Speedway:
First Modifieds race (25 laps):Brian King, Devin Steele, Randy Butner, Phil Bryant, Jerry Scott, Dylan Ward, Roy Cook, Ronnie Austin, Speedy Faucette, Arlie Thomas.

A new class of students hoping to make its mark on the future of health care recently arrived at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, as the school welcomed the class of 2012 to begin the school's 15th year. LECOM welcomed its first class of osteopathic medical students in 1993.
|Silvia Ferretti, D.O., Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs at LECOM, addresses the College of Medicine class of 2012 during orientation week.
The orientation began July 26 with an open house at the Erie campus for students and their families. First-year student workshops and classes began on July 28. Second-year students begin classes on Aug. 4.
This year's class consists of 276 students, with approximately 30 percent of the incoming students from Pennsylvania. LECOM's innovative teaching programs and national reputation attract these students. While 205 of the new students will follow the traditional lecture-discussion method of learning, 42 have chosen the Problem-Based Learning Pathway and 29 will enter the Independent Study Pathway.
Eight of the incoming students also will begin LECOM's Primary Care Scholars Pathway (PCSP), a program the College expects will attract more physicians to family practice, pediatrics, and internal medicine. The PCSP will condense four years of medical education into three-years by concentrating on the essentials of primary care. This will result in more family doctors graduating sooner and saving these students one year of expenses that adds to the mounting debt held by medical college graduates.
During orientation week, the new students attend a series of workshops to learn about campus policies, review the curriculum and meet the faculty, which includes the full-time basic science and clinical education faculty. Students also meet many of the Erie area physicians who will teach the students during their first two years of medical school.

ONE of the most important collections of watercolour paintings in the world is heading our way.
More than 40 works from the exquisite holdings of Sir Hickman Beckett Bacon (1855-1945), an avid collector of English watercolours between 1895 and the First World War, will be on show at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, from January 12 until April 14.
Now owned by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the precious paintings will be loaned to the Kendal gallery for its next exhibition - Turner and his Contemporaries: The Hickman Bacon Watercolour Collection.
Abbot Hall chief executive Gordon Watson was thrilled at the prospect of the eminent display, which should have the eyes of the nation's arts world focused on the important regional gallery.
In fact, a fitting time to stage such a grand show as Abbot Hall celebrates a half century since its opened its celebrated doors.
Gordon added: "Fifty years ago on September 28, 1962, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret officially opened the gallery and since then Abbot Hall has established itself as one of the most significant and ambitious galleries in the north of England."
Rarely aired in public, the collection will be shown alongside highlights from Abbot Hall's own permanent collection of watercolours.
Sir Nicholas said that he was delighted to be able to lend the paintings to Abbot Hall.
He continued: "My great uncle Sir Hickman Bacon (Hicky) had unusual tastes for his time and thus the collection is very strong in the type of late, ethereal Turner watercolours that only became widely popular with the advent of abstract painting in the 1940s and 50s. Equally, John Sell Cotman, an artist who had only just emerged from total obscurity, was of particular interest.
"Hicky's collection represents English watercolour painting at its greatest; like so many collectors he was not interested by the fashion of the day, but he was committed to collecting those objects which fulfilled his heartfelt love of beauty."
Born in 1855 into a family of landed gentry, Sir Hickman was educated at Eton. He joined the army, later returning to his old-fashioned family mansion. He suffered from ill health early in his life, and remained a bachelor until he died in 1945. He also collected fabrics, wall hangings, ceramics and Japanese prints – a collection he gave to the Japanese Government.
Abbot Hall collections manager Nick Rogers said that an exhibition of watercolours from the 'remarkable' Hickman Bacon collection was a cause for celebration wherever it was held. He added: "That it is taking place in Kendal, Cumbria, is particularly appropriate, as this is an area that played a significant role in the development of watercolour as the medium of choice for the itinerant artist in the late 18th and early 19th Century."
TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

Pair of Four Run Frames Help Falcon Baseball Split Saturday DH with King
April 13, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - A pair of four-run innings in game one helped Pfeiffer University split a Conference Carolinas baseball doubleheader with visiting King on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons won the opener 9-5 improving to 18-25 overall, 11-7 in league play, while the Tornado picked up a 3-2 victory in game two moving to 26-16, 11-9.
Pfeiffer's first four-run frame came in the second of game one as Kyle Hackney picked up a RBI single before Kevin Price delivered a two-run single. Jacob Yates would finish the inning with a RBI double to bring home Kevin Price. After King cut the lead in half with single runs in the fourth and fifth, the Falcons would again put a four-spot on the board to grab an 8-2 advantage.
In the Pfeiffer fifth, Izzy Perez would belt a three-run homer to score Aarin Sharpe, who was hit by a pitch, and Matt Wade who recorded a single. Yates would later bring in Hackney on a base hit in the five-hit inning. The Tornado would get to within three scoring three in the seventh, but another plunking of Sharpe with the bases loaded brought home insurance for the Falcons. Wade, Hackney and Price would each register three hits in the win as Tyler Ring picked up the victory after seven innings of work and six strikeouts.
King brought home single runs in the first, third and fourth innings of game two grabbing a 3-0 lead before the Falcons finally got on the board with their two in the fourth. Jon Gray would start the frame by reaching on an error and later scoring on a passed ball while Hackney scored Cole McGraw on his final base hit. The Falcons would have chances to tie it in the fifth and sixth but King starter Corey Rhodes finished off his victory with seven innings of work allowing the two unearned runs with four strikeouts.
Both teams will look towards Sunday's rubber match as the three-game series concludes at 1:00 p.m.

Dior Homme Intense
Yes, you read it right.
I am going to be around some females this weekend at a party, and i would like to know the best fragrance to accomplish this task. I currently own the following, but i will gladly buy the ones that you guys recommend.
Creed Aventus smokey version
Creed git
Amen pure malt
Le male
Le male terrible
1 million
Versace pour homme
Guess pour homme
Gucci guilty intense
Dior Homme Intense
Muscs Koublai Khan by Serge Lutens.
That is not up to a cologne, actually the wrong cologne or scent intensity may have the opposite effect.
If you're going to be lucky it's not going to be because of the fragrance.
Tough question, because everybody is different, what smells sexy to one woman will smell horrible to another - without knowing the preferences, it's risky. Usually, more sexual perfumes are considered those with deep musks (like MKK mentioned by Jack), but they can smell dirty to many people, which you don't want.
Perhaps, in the end, it's just better to play safe and use something that, even though it doesn't make women think of sex, it won't turn them off. Le Male seems safe enough, if somewhat uninspiring.
From what I hear, something that's easy to wear, readily available at brick and mortar retail, and has a rep for smelling great to women but is also very masculine, with a 'come hither' vibe, is Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.
Aventus will do.
Go away.
Scents that chicks dig, heh
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Eau d'Hermes
This one will do:
Eau de Maturity would do you good.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Echoing LloydLlewellyn ..............

None. Wear really tight pants and tape a kielbasa to one thigh.

2. Dior Leather Oud

Not to be rude, but... if a fragrance existed that would make women want to have sex with the man who wears it, surely you realize it would be the most purchased fragrance in the history of perfumery. It would be the #1 best seller, outselling all others combined by a landslide no matter how much it cost, and you probably wouldn't even want to wear it since every guy who views women as nothing more than vaginas would already be bathing in it.
Come on now. Seriously.

"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
Just make sure your breath is fresh (no cologne in your mouth though)
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
My sweat smelled right off my bare chest. Sorry, you can't buy that.
D&G The one.
Just make sure you're clean and fresh.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
REALM contains Phermones. She'll be all over you like Kim Kardashian is on Kanye West.
It's all about the swagger dude. Chics dig funny guys, not wafts of cologne. I use cologne as part of my style.
Good Luck!
depending on age. most young chicks love the sweet oriental stuff and the over 40 crowd i would go with a powerhouse like obsession.
Tabu, Kouros, or something else dirty.
From your list, I would choose $1M... I would also wear Mr. T's big and heavy gold chain and rings. and don't forget to bring tons of cash...would also have a kielbasa to one thigh...LOL
Joking aside, I would wear Musc Ravageur and "borrow" some confidence.
Houbigant Fougere Royale. This has to be the original vintage though; the reissue will not work. I absolutely guarantee that it will make every woman in your vicinity think of sex. If you find it ineffective, you will need to send me the bottle for testing to make sure it's not fake.
Is it okay if the sex they think of is their parents having sex? That's a big turn on, right?
pay a prostitute to have sex with you, then proceed directly to the party without showering.

"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
What smells like tears? There's your answer.
A cologne that will make her think of sex?
That's just pathetic man. I can't believe people actually fall for the men's magazines campaigns that are fueled by commerce which suggest this.
Whatever her ex-boyfriend wore.
Mackdaddy Pour Homme
Pretty sure the hormones secreted by the body are found to attract women better than other smells, so maybe nothing.
Sex panther. Works 60% of the time...every time.
Have you ever heard a girl saying: "Oh, I slept with this dude because he was wearing a totally awesome scent"?

Love these threads, LOL!
Like Macklemore and Ryan Louis say in Thrift Shop, "Trying to get girls from a brand? Then you hella won't" Just replace brand with cologne and you've got it!
Anyway, if you wear something she likes than it may make you seem more appealing, but ONLY IF you seem appealing in every other way FIRST. If she doesn't like what you're wearing, or if she thinks you've overapplied cologne, then that's a turn-off.
Ah come on guys, don't take the OP too seriously, did you take a close look at his sign in name? Haha it's pretty funny considering the question he asked
Whatever her best friend's husband wears.
I love this thrad

Purely out of interests in tapping the knowledge of the experts here, aren't pheromones proven to be evolutionary traits still persevering in humans to aid the quest for success when in heat? Surely in light of this the topic would fall well within the realms of olfactory science
A little more seriously, visual and auditory cues can strongly alter thoughts and perception subconsciously as demonstrated by Derren Brown (methodically insane guy) and Daniel Kahnemann (nobel laureate and author of Thinging Fast and Slow), much more so than we would like to think. I do think there can be certain smells such as musk which are beyond simple memory triggers but more like 'genetic memory' triggers, if you know what I mean. Point to note however, is that some people take this concept too much into pseudo-science instead of more disciplined research.
