SLC Jaguars is dumb. I hope that is not it. I saw the scarf. Green with white letters spelling something with ag in it.

I know this is going to sound like a dumb question, but why on the MLS Homepage does it say that SLC is the 12th club? Was there an official announcement as to was who the 11th club? ;)

The scarf says "Major League Soccer" on it. I doubt we're going to get a nickname today.

I saw the green scarf draped over the table in the lobby when I tried to get in. The press release (mlsnet.com home page) says a name won't be announced until sometime in August.

Ray Hudson was Miami's first coach?
Wasn't there that Ivo Wortmann fella? Or am I hallucinating? (Entirely possible)

Checketts: We bought an option and thought we had a deal with MLS, but then Seattle made a run. Seems like he had to put up some money faster than expected.
No nickname yet -- "will not have two z's anywhere in the name".

Checketts: "Soccer is a great unifier," good for families. Pledges low ticket prices.

"Team name, general manager, coach in the coming weeks."
"Drafts in November and then January."
Expansion draft will most likely be in November.
