    I saw Frankie and Ggreggg walking out of the OSU/Akron game last night and did not boo them.

    Who knew the answer was not to boo him, but to protect Speaks.

    We can’t change who we are. I still boo Eric Gehrig if I see him running downtown.

    Past lapses are forgiven. Gehrig didn't miss a kick in a playoff game that went to kicks like Carroll did. I welcome Gehrig's support.

    It's okay to change.

    I am not sure if a Tweet of #SaveTheCrew is enough to overturn my sentiment on the option to boo. Now if he tweeted that he bought #SaveTheCrew gear and he now runs in it, then perhaps that would be a stronger argument.

    Yes. Unfortunately, by way of BigSoccer, I have seen Lalas's tweets.

    Just a reminder, "this thread is only about instances of Crew supporters seeing Eric Gehrig running and wanting to boo him. This thread is not about seeing another Crew player or coach running and wanting to boo them. Please keep this discussion focused solely on Eric Gehrig."

    The commenting on the booing of other players should be confined to the appropriate thread: "Crew to Austin in 2019..(Maybe)."

    1) I remember that text message conversation. I was puttering around the house when Garyn sent me that message about seeing Gehrig running downtown. I was always a bit of a Gehrig-detractor, and so that day I fired back with the whole booing question. Then I decided to share with you guys.

    2) I posted this message in 2012, the year I got married. I wish Gehrig the best of luck with his upcoming wedding and marriage. It is not easy work, but the time/effort/energy put into marriages can be well worth it.

    3) Seeing some of the names from this thread is a reminder of those who do not post around here anymore. Some really good posters and Crew fans. I may have necro-repped. Again.

    4) I made a tag for this thread. #2018.
