    I've been un-following a bunch of folks over the past couple of weeks. Some of them I know in person.

    I've been very disappointed in the level of invective that has affected social media from people that I would have thought knew better.

    If any of these people have to serve on a jury, I would advocate that their social media be checked before selection.

    I always wonder what their employers think.

    Maybe you should just tweet 50-48 to them.

    Better yet, ask them for their high school US History grades since most of them have zero concept of states roghts, our republic, and why the founding fathers set it up that way.

    How do some of these people have spouses? Do they work? If you get so worked up about this not sure how you can be employed unless you are on Soros’ payroll

    That is just downright weird. I'm blocked, obviously doesn't like the fact that I believe in the presumption of innocence in all matters.

    Why not just unfollow - don't believe I've ever engaged her is any type of communication

    I did take a look just using a browser - glad she blocked me, but I never followed her anyway.

    Bradley Bourguois (former homegrown player loaned RGV at one time) scores a goal in late late overtime for USL Nashville to tie up against Cincinnati FC. They eventually go down in penalty kicks but good to see a homegrown do well.

    No, it isn’t!

    It’s only good to see an academy player doing well if it’s for our team.

    Otherwise it’s a failure.

    What if it's an academy player who has moved up? Say to the Bundesliga or Serie A? Or La Liga?

    Unless they are jerks I wish our formers well. I usually do a look around in the spring to see where the old players go, if anything because I think it gives a sense of where things are awry here. Can we not produce talent. Can we not see what's in front of our face. Are our exes appealing to MLS? USL? Abroad? The less interested other teams are in your exes the more it feels like your choices were a complete whiff.

    My analysis talking some down is just, cold blooded, are they really good enough for our first team. That is necessary because this franchise kids itself a lot lately about the level of the acquisitions. There are enough people talking up each noob coming in. It's in their interests to talk up the entering class. It's in our interests to want more than talk, ie, players good enough to stick and contribute and elevate the team. That part of me remains interested in how they do can't override that I am rooting for this team, less so RGV, and not for every team they sprinkled out to. At some point ultimately, it's what are you getting us for this team. Where the refuse ends up is more just human curiosity.

    I don't think we are completely at sea in terms of development, however, practical terms we are not populating 1/4 of the first team roster with picks and HGP like some teams, we seem better at producing USL and college players. So forgive me if I don't do cartwheels when RGV rather than us signs a HGP, or Joe Holland is still in soccer in Pittsburgh. Other teams have players at Schalke and scattered across MLS.

    Brian Ownby and Jason Johnson are playing against each other in the 2018 USL Cup on ESPN2 right now. Ownby is pretty good.

    Was it really that many? I remember his home debut and then him being let go almost after.

    Maybe all the alcohol made it fuzzy.

    at first, i laughed and shrugged it off since its just hash.

    then i remembered hearing about the following when i spent time in Spain:

    https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-may-23-fg-terrcrime23-story.html

    if you dont like to read: theyve traced the profits of the Spanish hash business back to Islamic terrorist groups operating in Europe and warlords causing havoc in Africa.

    Last I heard there was some keepers in our Academy that showed promise. I would take Onstad back at this juncture in our Dynamo club history!

    I was taking it easy, sitting outside of a pub in Madrid Summer of '99 having a beer and these loud mouths there started talking smack to what turned out to be 5 men that were the leading nose candy traffickers in the entire city of Madrid! That fight escalated MUY RAPIDO!
    You never know what you are gonna run into, even on vacation I guess! HA!
