About the Coffee Pot Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Challenge_Cup) from Wikipedia.

If I could resurrect a few threads from before the Great BigSoccer Crash those original threads about the coffee pot smashing incident would be among them.

Why was it named the Coffee Pot? Obviously you guys put nothin' but alcohol in it. :D

[jackrock]

My soccer sense is tingleing. Esky finally returns to the score sheet. You heard it hear first.

[GrillMaster]

Don't even bother taking names, just kick azz, United (but in a nice, 'thank you for the hospitality way')!!!! :)

GM

The only name they need to see is the one on the back of the goalies jersey as he is retrieving the ball from his net.

[JayRockers!]

We win this match, we get 2 Cups? Or is it down to GD if Houston beat RedFool? I'd hate to have to pull for Le Metro to win us a Cup, so I won't. We should have beaten DynoMutt.

Thx,

Jay!

We win and I'm getting AT LEAST two cups. Helluva a long way to drive for free beer. :D

[Red&Black]

A short story...
Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.


How do you know when you're staying in a South Carolina hotel?

"When you call the front desk and say "I've gotta leak in my sink."

and the person at the front desk says "go ahead".

I guess we now know why 42 is the answer to question of the universe: The question is "how many South Carolina laws will DC United Fans break during the Carolina Challenge Cup?"

:D

[cherno]

Will Benny be meeting the team in Charleston and thus available for this match, or is he just going to wait for them back in DC?

Cherno

[fatbastard]

gotta love quoting laws from the early 1900s :) I cannot believe we let Houston play with 13 men and settled for a tie, now we need to win by a few goals :) Oh well, so be it :D

Don't forget the mini bottles! (http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/samantha_bee/index.jhtml?playVideo=12443#)

Don't forget the mini bottles! (http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/samantha_bee/index.jhtml?playVideo=12443#)

Mini-bottles are gone now. Any bar still using them is just using up their stock.

[JBG - Bribe Taker]

The 3 Lions still uses minis. My unofficial sampling of SC drinkers on our new free pour freedom is most like the minis better. You get a full 1.7-1.8 oz. of juice. Free pour drinks aren't cheaper (one thing that was promised) and everybody aludes to bartenders with heavy hands. Come on, wake up people. Those people don't exist. Bars that don't use some kind of portion control are soon out of business. VIVA LA MINI !!!! (I same thing I tell Mrs. BT)

It;s goal differential i think. Thats why i made the comment that a) this even though it's pre-season, is still a trophy, thus one more than metroredmadcow have ever got, and that b) i still think it was a class move.


wait, I think that the guys should also know what its like to be 2 guys up and kill a game. I herby reverse my desicion and think that Novack was paid off, horrible desicion, we SHOULD have beat dynostink.

clobber charelston!!!!!!! will be listening in silver spring, trying to buy any left over foggy bottom.

Not sure who wrote that article but there are a bit of "creative flair" to the begining of the coffee Pot cup in the article. Stilll adds a bit of mystery to its true beginings!!!:)

viva la Batteria!!

Fear the Sombrero!!!

[ursula]

Just to take this thread in a different direction... I'd like to see Freddy scoring. If he is becoming a starter, and it looks like he is, then we must have him mixing things up with Gomez and Moreno and scoring and assisting. Very simple.
