Being 3-0-0 now, I'd assume we're somewhere in the Top 30 within the world. Club World Side-Show/Championship/Cup/, here we come! Word on the street is that BBC has recently signed-on for a 5-part introspective into "How to market to a massive, er Massive market...did we mention the word Massive?" and that ESPN is about to break news on our most recent summer transfer target ahead of the World Cup? Meanwhile, recent leaks out of Black & Gold Blvd. have said that the city of Columbus (not GA) is ready to partner with PSV to construct a stadium worth more than TFC's 2014 roster. Heady times, indeed!
How did I miss this the first go round?! I just gave out a bunch of legacy rep. Most of it to posters from bygone days.
Honestly, can we just sticky this thread so it is always at the top? This is the best Big Soccer content I've ever read.
After last weekend, #821 or #563, depending upon what all-knowing internet guru you trust. http://footballdatabase.com/clubs-ranking/columbus-crew http://www.clubworldranking.com/clubs/columbus-crew.aspx And yes, reading the old thread is comedic gold...
I'm going to second the Crew BS Boards Hall of Fame permanent sticky sentiment. Or perhaps it should be a sub-forum of some voted in all time classics. Hrrrmmmm...?
I think the McKinley Tennyson thread was the best ever. Alas, it seems to have been lost during a BS software update.
Blush. That thread is why BS hired me to blog. Ah, memories. But as long as I'm here, if anyone can wear a large - sadly my L days are behind me - there's a new home shirt going cheap on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Columbus-Cr...183?pt=US_Soccer_Fan_Shop&hash=item258cc62e57
At the risk of making Bill blush again - and ruin his reputation as a big ol' meanie - the McKinley Tennyson thread is a classic. In my opinion it's in the Pantheon of BigSoccer classics, which should also include the reactions to Michael Mejido's April Fool's Day prank involving Kevin Payne.
