Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Oh I got it, I had just watched GI JOE in which everyone was calling a character "Rip" the whole time. My brain likes random connections. Punch, pie, and ponies. You'd think after all these years of stadium horror, we could get at least one of the three.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 There's been plenty of punch over the years, just not the crystal bowl filled with rum and fruit juice kind.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 I just spoke to Major Announcement and he has been deployed to Afghanistan. Major Woody is now in charge of this thread.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 There is this via @CraigStouffer: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=angi1vwUkQc]This is for you, Nick[/ame] Thx, Jay!
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 If he bothers you for more than four hours, I recommend seeking medical attention.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 i think this thread should stay open at least until we hear again from nick and/or astis. either it was a goof on all of us or they got fooled by their "source"
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 maybe he got the team wrong: From MLS..."Looks like Toronto will be holding a press conference at 12:30pm EST today to make "a major announcement." Any guesses as to what it's about?"
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Sorry. I can't tell what someone means anymore unless they use a large array of emoticons. See?
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 I'm sure a donkey punch could be arranged. That's close to two out of three. And it's probably close to the feeling of what the majority of the fans have gone through.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 According to Soccer Insider: "D.C. United has signed Spanish MF Carlos Varela for remainder of season. Announcement expected in coming days." Don't forget, Nick said that the announcement was regarding a stadium.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 I googled him, and I get like these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Varela http://www.carlosvarela.com/ Carlos Varela I don't think it's even major.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Maybe this is the stadium announcement http://dc.sbnation.com/2010/9/14/1687957/baltimore-researching-potential ... that there will not be one yet......
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Carlos has a Lego stadium in his basement and will move it to his new home in DC.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 If it is, Nick's info was way off, because he said: "1. The Stadium will be close (but not in) DC 2. The Stadium is to follow the same general plan as what was proposed for Popular Point 3. Around 27k in size 4. Will include Hotel / Conference areas that will be open on an ongoing basis."
