An Olive Branch directed at Tampa

Oh I see lol

I guess Speedcake is uninterested in answering...I would think if he said it, and it was truthful, he would be able to tell me where he got his info. Eh, I guess my curiosity is going to go unsated.

Don't forget Rochester. Though interesting the strongest team not going to MLS decided to go "down" to USL Pro and end up associating with Steve Donner again.

What does answering your stupid question settle? Of course the answer is yes. So? Does that somehow prove you are right? Of COURSE the MLS talk adds to the trash talking and rivalry.

If you don't think we can have a rivalry despite being 90 minutes apart and playing the same sport just because we aren't in the same division currently then you are the one who is full of it. Sounds ALOT like you don't want any part of one. Or if you do, you want it to be solely based on the absurd idea that OC$C will be in MLS 5 years from now.

What a shame, really.

There are more supporters and more fans in general around lower division soccer (and even some in MLS!) who despise OC$C than you guys will average at your home games this season. Combined. By far. It would take me days to copy paste the tweets, facebook status, to paraphrase the conversations, to forward the emails, PMs and somehow duplicate here every other way the distaste for OC$C has been expressed in the last months. I'm sorry you live in a bubble where OC$C is on top of candy mountain. The rest of us see it as Shit Hill.

You guys should just embrace it and you could at least make some fun songs about no one liking you. If anyone will ever be able to hear over those awful drums, that is.

I wouldn't say I live in a bubble I was curious as to the validity of your statements thats all. I don't generally make a point of following trash talk closely unless it's directed at me personally so I could've easily missed what was said by others. I knew from reading these forums and reading here or there around the net that there was some disdain, but "shit hill" is a bit drastic. I honestly only hear a lot of racket from the Tampa fans.

What does my question settle? Its exactly what I said on the first page of this thread!

Thanks for agreeing. If you really want to hate another team because they pissed of a city in Texas and play soccer against other teams in a different league, whatever. I'll continue disliking Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, and other teams in the region for more practical reasons.

Ya, it's one factor. It isn't THE factor and without it we'd still be messing with you guys. This isn't hard to understand. You are going to fit right in with the Orlando fans.

Which isn't what I said. This was a fun waste of time, hopefully we can see a match played at some point and we can argue about that rather than trivial nonsense like this.

El Pibe is running for mayor? Maybe I should rethink that whole not voting thing. LOL.

Cool story brah. I'm shocked that the likes of the Glazer's were not driving up the price for buying the Mutiny considering all the sellouts at 'The Big Sombrero'. I wonder how it is that some big business Tampa tycoon was not willing to invest in a team that averaged 11k per game, with half of those seats filled with ticket giveaways and international double headers. I'm shocked....

I believe Tampa is no longer allowed to officially use the name "Rowdies" name due to legal issues. They are listed as FC Tampa Bay.

I haven't read the content, but since Im studying for AP US History, I found the thread title pretty cool. I won't forget what it means now
