Ah, so it turns out he's "nationally ranked". ;)

[tscboys]

Haha, what has conor gone onto these days?

[Father Ted]

Jeez, am I the oldest on here at 36?

I'm 19. Study at McGill...I'm from Kenya...grandparents are of Indian origin. I've been a Manchester United fan ever since I began watching Premiership games on TV back in the early/mid-90's and I've been an armchair fan ever since.

Maybe I've thought about this waaaaaay to much. If Conor is 'nationally ranked', then theoretically he is good enough to get a division I scholarship. But, wouldn't you lose your eligibility by endorsing a product? Oh well, maybe I'll just open another Sam Adams.

I'm Keith, 29 years old from Hampton, VA. No pubs around here to watch games at. I teach high school Government and US History & coach the girls Varsity team at our school. There is always a United extra credit question on every one of my tests and quizzes so now my students know more trivia than most.
I started following the club back in high school in the early 90's when our cable provider would show a game a week from England & there was this badass playing with his collar up.( I actually have the picture of Eric kicking the Crystal Palace fan up in my classroom now.) I loved the breakneck style of play from United from Kanchelskis & Giggs & Paul Parker from RB. While I haven't made a trek to Old Trafford yet(still waiting for that million dollar raise), I can say I actually saw United play in person vs Barcelona 2 years ago.

My fav United possession is the 90's Umbro jersey w/ Old Trafford in the background, signed by Diego.

And to make this year even better, my classroom is used parttime by a Citeh fan. Every day I get to tell him they suck. Life is good.

Haha, that would make life good, and btw I think your right about the NCAA scholarship thing with conor..

No, no you aren't thinking about it too much. Well, at least not more than other BigSoccer posters (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3694682&postcount=55). ;) (In all seriousness, that had to be one of the most disturbing threads ever on BigSoccer).

P.S. Good taste in beer.

next time you see make sure you ask how it is to support such a MASSIVE BITTER club :D :D

I actually have the picture of Eric kicking the Crystal Palace fan up in my classroom now.Cool. I always try to find ways to work football into my syllabus. Like when I teach technical writing and we get to instruction sets, I have my students evaluate an old website called: "Pele shows you how to head the ball," or whatever it's called.

--We will bring American youth to footy through revolution in the classroom -- heheheh. :D (Sorry -- since they don't really "pay" me for my work, I'm a little power-hungry).


Anyways, for those who remember me, I'm still the same girl as I was last year, just a little quieter, as I don't have so much time to hang around online. Still loving to read everyone's evaluations of united; so many of you guys make this a great chat-board-room-thingy (what is this anyway?). Also, I got married this summer, yay!!

BTW, I love this thread, it's so nice to get a better sense of who people are.

He must chill with Conor.


EDIT: boy, i arrived late on that one...

[StrikerCW]

Conor is going to Seatle University or so I read. Which is champion DII school in, where else, Seattle.

[Vermont Red]

Father Ted: I'm right there with you at 36. :o

Too bad I'm one of the most injury prone kids on my team - just for the lower back though. I have a chipped Vertebrae wing, something on which I can't get surgery on 'til 35, so as long as my back muscles are strong enough, it's fine. But otherwise, it can be very painful :(
Hit the weight room. Bigger, stronger muscles are a great help in preventing injuries.

Now this really makes me feel old ... let's just say I graduated from high school in '72. When I was a freshman, I was part of the first year of the soccer program for my district. I played varsity as a freshman and our kits were actually PE shorts with pointy ball jerseys. We were definately an oddity in those days.
