The only good thing I can say about AO is that they support the right team. Other than that, they can go f*** themselves.
One of my proudest moments in the Nordecke is unplugging one of the capo's speakers during that game. I still have an irrational hatred for Shawn Wheeler.
There's nothing irrational about hating Shawn Wheeler Edit: CiC beat me to it. So I'll just add that Wheeler hates Columbus with a blind fury of spittle flecked rage. I find much satisfaction in this. He was last seen heading to the airport swearing he'd never set foot.in CBus again. But as I understand it, he's way too involved with Antifa these days to worry about US soccer. He's now trying to lead a boycott of MLS.
Is AO still a thing? USMNT interest is the lowest it's been in thirty years and the few folks I know who were AO members have quit the group. Supporters groups seem to last a few years and I'm wondering if they have run their course.
Well, as of last summer, they were still running those Continental Tire commercials with the AO guys talking about selling their t shirts. You know, the ad with the “HOME” TIFO...[emoji35]
I hope that even if the new barn DOES open before we play at MAPFRE again, they'll still consider giving us a farewell game anyway. Maybe an Open Cup game?
Was that before or after what's-her-face stormed off into the proverbial sunset because she didn't get her demands met?
Its about a 40-something woman who left her husband and 2 children in a motel at 2 am to go get loaded at an AO bash and then claimed that a really drunk and obviously blind 20 year old attendee had touched her tit. She's the same woman who came to Columbus from DesMoines to be a Capo at US/Mexico. She was in the south end when some mysterious unknown person unplugged their speaker system. So she left her 8 year old son, who was wearing a Batman suit, to lead the section for her while she ran to the north end to try and fix the problem, while the selfish prick Columbus fans ignored her idiot kid. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you? Anyway, she was stunned that neither USSF nor AO had much interest in her saggy funbag getting groped so she walked away forever.
Oh, Tanya Keith? Hahahahaha, I haven't heard that name in, well, how long has it been since that game? I actually had a conversation with her in the lot ahead of the match: My buddy Chris Macchi and I were having a beer with Jimmy Conrad and Jimmy was trying to wrap his head around talking to Chris LaMacchia and Chris Macchi at the same time when she walked up and fangirled out about seeing Jimmy Conrad. That instantly ruined the vibe (duh) and after about three minutes of trying to bring the conversation back to something resembling normal us boys all found excuses to walk away from her brand of crazy. And for the record, there were a few of us that unplugged speakers that night. I was on the north end when my right arm took on a mind of its own and yanked that cord. After the match, though, it slowly spread throughout the fandom that numerous people that suffered a similar affliction with their arms all across Lamar's House that night.
Can someone please refresh my memory: Has anything been announced for the Savko and Sons site just on the other side of the tracks in the triangle of despair?
As a matter of fact, yes. I won it in a poker game. The fool tried to draw to an inside straight and I nailed him with trip Queens.
The supreme irony of the '09 Dos a Cero was they had put up temporary bleachers for the supporter's section on the stage. A/K/A the only part of the stadium under a roof. Consequently the only fans at the game protected from that howling February rainstorm were the people who cared the least if they got soaked or not.
That's where I was. Unfortunately, I'd been out in the parking lot all afternoon in the rain and hail and was soaked to the bone by gametime. Only time in my life I came close to hypothermia.
