Do you think those people who are ALWAYS nice in public go home every night and punch a wall? I mean no one can be that nice all the time, right?
Archie has always been gracious when I have seen him and his position as head of the Alumni Association gives him more actual work to do, compared to his time as assistant athletic director.
Thank you! Honestly, the face of our club since Black Monday has been RW. Who the ******** wants that over Frankie. I say Upgrade! Wow. I think you're the 1st person I've heard say that. Surely not the 1st person who thinks it, cause we all can't be liked universally. I, personally, have met him twice and came away thinking he's a great guy and face for the university.
Just because I said he was nice didn't mean I've never seen him frustrated or annoyed. I worked with him when I volunteered for charity events while I was a student at Ohio State. Not everything always went right but he never seemed arrogant to the point where he blamed it on the little people. As far as high profile figured from Columbus are concerned I wouldn't really be able to say the same for say Jack Nicklaus. That is the point though, Frankie is going to be doing a lot more than running about town giving interviews and glad handing. He's going to be teaching the game promoting camps and clinics. He's also going to be working with our youth teams and not just in Columbus but regionally so he is most likely going to be traveling to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, and Detroit. It will be good to have another set of eyes on our youth watching their progress helping with development.
I posted this on the US Men's forum, thought you guys might enjoy it as well: I'm friends with a couple guys who grew up with Frankie, and man do they have some stories. There's plenty that I can't share in a public forum, but a couple that I can: - One of their older brothers had a pickup truck and a job. Sometimes when this guy would leave for work, Frankie would take off running after the pickup truck and jump in the back. This guy would constantly be late for work because he's have to drive Frankie back home. Finally the guy just left Frankie on the side of the 5 freeway one day, which was the last time Frankie jumped in. - This being 4/20 and all: Apparently on the soccer field isn't the only place that Frankie's lung capacity is world class. - These guys (and Frankie) grew up with, and are still best friends with, Rob Machado the famous surfer. When they were in high school, every one of them would have guess that Frankie would be the pro surfer and Rob Machado the pro soccer player.
That's about what I heard; but I heard human hamster wheel connected to a turbine. He'll provide all of the energy to Crew Stadium. Frankie is also a green initiative.
Only if flaskman is in attendance. But why at the start of the half? Pour a beer in a vuvuzuela and have a go whenever you want.
it's going to be difficult to tell in the Nordecke if someone let off a smoke bomb or if Frankie just took a bong hit.
By the way. I was wondering, as Hejduk was introduced/welcomed back at halftime, and he held up a beer towards the crowd: At what point does "hell of a guy" become "alcoholic"? Is there some requirement in his contract that he has to have beer at every single one of his appearances? And if so, are the Crew hiring?
So what did Hejduk learn after his first match in his new position? That is professional wisdom right there.
Based on his accomplishments during his first week maybe Frankie is actually the Brand Ambassador for Guiness Stout? It great to have him as part of the Crew again, whatever he is doing! Legend!
The only thing that bothers me is that Guinness is the next best thing to bus station urine. The only people who drink it are yuppie poseurs who think that drinking it males them reallt young, hip and cool. The stuff is just ********ing awful and nobody who actually knows dick about beer d=would ever drink it. It's for guys who want to impress everybody with how cool and hip they are. Real beer drinkers don't go near the stuff. Therefore, I refuse to believe that it's what Frankie drank. It must be Boddingtons or Newcastle Brown (well you know it sure smacks you down) or something of that sort.

No, there are only about ten people worldwide who use a particular brand of one thing or another because of the status it conveys. Barely worth even mentioning, really. idiot.
Damn BA slagging on both Archie and Guinness in the same topic forum, rare form indeed. I've never had a problem with Archie personally. Met him a few times and he has always been a great guy. I've also met, known or had some other form of contact with his siblings or kid and they all were nice people. So I don't know what happened with you and Archie but it must have been when he was having a rare bad day. Now the fact that the guy absolutely stank as a pro running back and blew his own financial life up and basically had OSU bail his butt out of a financial waste land isn't a pretty thing and if you want to bag on the guy for that it's a whole different kettle of fish. As for Guinness, yeah it is a shame that it has become a hip beer because it is a fine beer if somewhat overrated. It's a smooth stout that I enjoy sometimes but only on draft. I agree that Boddington's is a better beer and I prefer Smithwick's over either of those. What I find amazingly annoying is when I am at a bar in a social setting and I order a Harp, Burning River, Smithwick's or another quality beer and the guy (also a member of the party) standing next to me orders a Guinness. I try and start a beer conversation and the guy says with complete disdain that he only drinks Guinness and doesn't like anything other than stout's. What I say is "oh, alright" when what I want to say is 1) "Sorry that your taste buds are so unrefined that the only thing you understand is a beer that punches you in the mouth. You might want to try learning to drink a really finely crafted beer." or 2) "Sorry about that, but one day maybe you will get your over-inflated head out of your ass and learn what a real beer is all about." As for Frankie, I'm sure the drinking part of the schtick will lessen with time. The FO thinks that is the only reason we appreciated Frankie while he was here. Most of the time I swear that the FO couldn't market life jackets on a sinking ship.
