Awesome. I also stated Swensons was good, but that I liked Five Guys more. We can be social pariah's together.
I know we have a lot of homers on this board and I know this is a very anglo-centric crowd that may only know de Boer's time at Crystal Palace (and a few might know if his time at Inter). But I tend to weigh de Boer's accomplishments heavier than Porter's. de Boer won 4 straight Dutch league titles. And before we say, "THaT waS wItH AJaX!!!!!" Let's keep in mind that Ajax had not won the Eridivisie in 7 years before de Boer took them on that run and hasn't won since he left. de Boer was also the assistant manager for the last Dutch National team of any consequence which finished as runners up in the 2014 World Cup. Crystal Palace is a bottom half of the EPL Table side and Inter is a circus. Neither were great stops for him so it goes. Look, I know Caleb Porter won a few MAC titles, failed to qualify the US U-23's for the Olympics, missed the playoffs 2 out of 5 years in Portland, and managed to stand on the sidelines when Steve Clark flubbed away a Columbus Crew chance at a trophy. It's a resume, I guess. But let's not pretend it's anywhere near as accomplished as de Boer's.
Great news! I can now guarantee a win today because I found a Smartwool sock that's been missing for the past three months. Just a coincidence? I think not. It's a metaphor, I tell you. A harbinger of a new era for this club. Seriously, I got this pair in Boone, NC last fall and one of them disappeared after I wore them once. It was driving me crazy. I'll be wearing them today, so you can pretty much take to the bank a Crew win.
??? The Benz is practically downtown! Glad y'all were saved. Looking forward to a good game in bad weather.
Swensons fries are probably one of my least favorite things on the menu. Any of the other fried sides are much better.
lol You sure that's what you want? It took a while to get the thing working where it is. I'm just elated that nobody's whining about our turf anymore. Probably because we suck right now.
Oh... I’m not saying Porter is necessarily better, just that de Boer is shit. You can say all you want that Ajax was amazing, but he’s been shit his last two jobs, and starting shit with a team that blew away the league last year with ease, both in terms of results and style of play. This year, exact opposite. Do you really think that I think Porter is amazing? Lol.
The latest forecast is only pseudo- (not total) apocalyptic. 4pm: Heavy rain 5pm: Heavy thunderstorms 6pm: Heavy thunderstorms 7pm: Rain 8pm: Rain 9pm: Rain We're supposed to get 1-2 inches of rain today. But most of that is supposed to fall before 7pm. We'll just have steady (but not torrential) rain, falling temps and some wind during the game. The grounds crew will earn their pay today.
days like today i wonder if there is any way to make that partial-roof on the new stadium an actual, real roof.
He won a cup, had some good finishes, and missed the playoffs a couple times, which we always say is a joke because so many teams get in. So, is he bad? No. He he great? I'd say no. We'll find out over the next, I'd imagine at a bare minimum, two years.
The teasers and onion rings are better at Swensons than the fries. Skyline is ok, I eat there once a month or so. I'm joining the wimp brigade tonight. A free ticket in 226 for someone who will go. PM me and I'll text it to you.
Thank you! I'm flattered!!! That's so much nicer than the slings and arrows I receive from others on this board. I'm COOL! ******** YEAH!!!
