Back in Pullman for the first time in 15 years. Arizona count your days.

The beatings will continue until the Longacres stadium is built.

This is the thing. The kids are TRYING. But Rusnak Nouhou Moose Jesus and the other senior guys are just awful. Letting them down with every touch and Adrian and Waibel sold them all up a creek by selling off any half decent depth for cash THEY AREN'T EVEN USING.

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

The Sounders are legitimately terrible at every aspect of the game. It's incredible. Can't attack, can't defend, no IQ, can't stay healthy, dumbest team I've ever watched. Can't gameplan, Can't roster build, can't pick the right players to keep. Just a disaster down to the core.

Oh he's cooked lmao. He may be more checked out than I am

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Credit to all the sickos still watching the Sounders team. I've hit sim to end.

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Hanauer is an MLS 1.0 owner in an MLS 5.0 world. He's not fit for purpose and he needs to realize that for the good of the club. Sell to someone who actually cares to try and win.

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

It sucks because this is Hanauer and Waibel's fault and they deserve to go but what actually is going to happen is either 1)Schmetz falls on the sword and gets canned or 2) they say the injuries were insurmountable and let this season become the most depressing and toxic one in club history

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I'm not saying this Sounders team has quit. I'm just saying they also know they're cooked.

"THIS time we're going to look even longer and deeper in the mirror!"

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Indicative of my issue with this roster as a whole. Lots of floor guys. Guys who should keep you from bottoming out, maintain your competitiveness but aren't really going to win you anything. Very few ceiling raisers. Who in this squad is top 5 in the league at their position? Top 10?

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

He can send a message by opening up his wallet or putting a for sale sign out front.

011

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Get him to Lumen, we need a new winger

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Well that's not a great answer half way through the season and coming off a six week break.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Turn in your shirts boys. You're playing in pinnies until you earn them back.

100

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

The Sounders have shown very little ambition in any facet of the club since the CCL title and this is the blaring alarm warning that the rot has set in. Major changes needed, top to bottom, if this team is going to do anything more than hand around and collect ticket revenue.

030

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Thomas has fucking had it with Nouhou lmao.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Thanks for your service Craig Waibel but it's time to go.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

I would rather watch penalties than have away goals be the tiebreaker. Have always hated that rule.

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

The broadcast graphic just gave the Sounders 2.78 expected goals and I have no clue how they're getting that number.

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

Would the last person in Pullman please turn out the lights?

011

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

We don't even have an AD right now lmao

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

David Riley praying it takes 6 months to hire a new AD and it's just too late to replace him at this point.

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

La Tech got their spirit broken tonight. Middle of nowhere, cold, body clock says it's Sunday and you're getting ground into the dirt every down. Jimmy has brought Midwest ground and pound to the Palouse.

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

A bit funny to hear the commentary complaining about attendance. A very mediocre team with very little to play for in a gap year against an opponent no one knows at a 7pm kickoff in November. Of course it's empty.

140

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Burning a timeout to keep your QB in then calling a designed run anyways lmao La Tech what are you doing?

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

This. The AD job at Wazzu is going to be massively different going forward compared to what it was and you need pres and AD in lock step. Good job by Anne to keep the ship from sinking and smart move by Betsy to act decisively moving into the new era.

022

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

We'll just go ahead and catch you next year Cougs.

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

This sounders game is really funny. The entire backline is going leeroy jenkins for no reason whatsoever. This game was done and dusted why are you letting guys run it straight down the middle??

100

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Baseball is so fun, man. Like what do you mean the 9 hitters took the closer deep to tie game 7 of the world series?

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

I'm going to give Jimmy this, he's got this team way more competitive than I ever expected them to be and a bowl game is still very much on the table which would be an A season for me... But when the wheels fall off on this team the whole rig fucking explodes lmao.

120

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Honestly, impressively awful offensive coaching performance going on here by the Cougs.

130

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

The Sounders remain torturously bad at penalties lol

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Lmao Jimmy this is a capital C Couging

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Lesson to Jimmy, the foot never NEVER comes off the gas.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

There is not a void dark enough or an abyss deep enough for Luke Fickell.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

No moral victories but man is that a big foundational block placed by Jimmy Rogers. That's a performance you can take on the recruiting trail and a selling point for scheduling big teams.

000

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Absolutely right. Fantastic response to some rough outings by this coaching staff and team.

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

*whispers* outside of the UNT debacle this team has been about as good as we could have hoped for.

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

I'd say that's a pretty damn good response from Jimmy and the boys.

010

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Anyways losing to UW always sucks but this year was lost in 2024 and the hope is to not bottom out. That UW offense is legit as well and we'll see if they have enough defense to compete with the top of the Big 10 real real soon. Could be a sleeper playoff team unfortunately.

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Jedd must have been really hurt by that loss last year lmaooo

020

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Lots of encouraging stuff this week but Jimmy is supposed to be a defensive coach and this team just isn't D1 level on that side of the ball.

030

Nathan Rieger @nathanrieger.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

It's going to be a very long apple cup lol
