Looks like Connor has become the 1st choice RB lately. He has started 4 games this month going the distance in each.

BS: "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Dave Marino-Nachison again."

Has anyone one ever heard of these former UVM players mentioned in the school's report above?

"Justin Geibel '08 is with the Brisbane Strikers in Australia, Tony Anderson '05 plays for Newry City FC in the Irish Premier League[.]"

I think that Geibel was on trial but I'm not sure if he ever signed with them. Anderson is Irish.

Tobin has been relegated to the bench after a string of poor defensive performances by Nybergsund's back line.

Sorry for thread resurrection, just wondering how Tobin was doing.

Offseason in Norway. Here is a comment from the last game.

Meanwhile fellow American Connor Tobin did not see any action for Nybergsund. Tobin concludes his first season at Nybergsund with a total of 19 appearances. The Colorado native has started the bulk of the season before being relegated to the bench in August.
