Expect Galaxy News Today

Relocating to Saint Louis?

 

Especially after finding out that the HG exemption continues for the next contract.

You'd think French would want to break the story and not just tease it.

 

I saw this when I woke up this morning, and it made me more nervous than excited. If its Zardes, I hope its a loan and not a sale.

 

LA will become the first team to be run independently of MLS.

I can dream, right?

 

If it was Zardes leaving, it typically wouldn't be the kind of news the Galaxy could announce or could exclusively announce and give a tip to one of its beat reporters that it was coming. The inbound team would have more of a say on the announcement. They could exclusively announce something marketing or development related such as a sponsorship, media deal, or development academy expansion. If it's player-related, it might be a re-signing. All of the noise surrounding Zardes might just have been about his agent drumming up/gauging interest abroad as part of the negotiations for a new HG contract with the Galaxy. The other possibility is a retirement. Dunivant is certainly a candidate for that.

 

That's what I was thinking/hoping. Dunivant sounds plausible too.

 

For free. No cap hit. Will wear Don Ovan kit.

 

It sure doesn't sound like Gyasi is acting like he is leaving this season if he just enrolled in and started taking courses at CSUDH

CSU Dominguez Hills ‏@DominguezHills 21h21 hours ago
Time for a new semester at #CSUDH for @LAGalaxy's @gyasinho #MyDayinLA

 

We're giving up Juninho, Omar and Zardes to make space for Sacha Kljestan.

 

That school is such a dump. Average SAT score is pathetic.

 

it's Dunivant retiring

So I guess only those few students who are accepted at the Ivy's, Stanford and some of the UC's are entitled to a college education? The objective of the Cal States is to provide a vehicle for students in the top third of high school graduates plus JC transfers in good standing, to get a college degree. So in that sense its no different from SDSU, CSULB or any of the others. The Cal States also have a strong regional orientation, so the vast majority of CSUDH kids come from the surrounding area; an area not know for outstanding schools. Please remember that not all kids attend schools that prepare kids for college or have parents wealthy enough to pay for SAT prep classes. Finally it is also a school that for a long time, perhaps still, was focused almost entirely on offering working adults a vehicle for getting a college degree with far more night students then day students (the reason parking is limited).

 

Thank you Todd for a great career. He's another that I could see going into coaching.

 

Given that Columbus, RSL, Colorado, and Chicago have 1 each, I guess you are allocating the 2 cups San Jose won, to Houston? Officially San Jose won in 2001 (with LD) and 2003 (with LD and TD). In either case, its a pretty significant record for any one player.

 

Yep, its Todd. Thank you Todd!

 

SAT prep classes are ubiquitous at schools in Southern California. As a public school student from LA county who took one of those free classes, I can attest to them. Moreover, self-study is completely possible. Ask Asian kids whose parents are immigrants.

In any event, I believe far too many students attend college in this country, and far too many of those that attend obtain useless degrees. If you can't crack 900 on the SAT, you probably can't appreciate the finer points of Yeats, or of political theory. Most students at those schools should focus on gaining skills transferrable to the job market. they'd be better served taking excel or computer programming workshops than obtaining some useless sociology degree. I grew up very close to CSUDH, and the students attending that place are generally not setting the world on fire.

Perhaps if schools such as CSUDH only offered degrees in fields with useful applications I would reconsider.

 

Thanks Todd!

Now is his cap hit high enough to allow us to keep Omar in the "Designated Los Angeles Galaxy Player" slot? Does anyone recall the details from when Head ACB Capo, Don Garber announced the rule change?
