Just got an email from my nephew: "Went to Matchbox in Eastern Market for lunch today (it's not anything great if you haven't been). I was eating when practically everyone from DCU rolled up (Ben Olsen, Lyle Adams, Mark Simpson, Kevin Payne, etc.). Olsen and I spoke for 5 minutes. Really nice guy. My brush with fame for today. "
He is. He comes to a handful of DCU games a year - I call him when I have some extra tickets and he takes the Metro down.
We wouldn't have been able to see any pictures. They kept us in holes in the ground. Deep in the ground. Darkness all around. Luckily the slime trails of worms glow a little when they're fresh.
Those worms are even better than gummy worms. A little crunchier and a little more bitter, but that's what makes them unique.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/soc/6928593.html Wade Barrett has been waived by Houston. Any interest? He's from Virginia, went to W&M, has been named to an MLS Best XI, and has been a strong left-back on multiple trophy winners. He's 33, and clearly on the downside of his career. And I imagine he's got a hefty salary. Those are two sizeable negatives right there.
Dynamo's Barrett retires, becomes assistant coach don't forget he's also a former DCU player! Looking back: The role players
EDIT: post removed, trying to be clever re: Barrett but the joke doesn't work any more since he's announced his retirement.
So with the league opener tonight, when does this thread close and the one with our odds of making the playoffs begin?
Haven't you heard? We're going to be the worst team ever and we'll be lucky to win a handful of games. Damn, man, keep up!
