FC Dallas Kick Off Luncheon - General info and Inferno table

these days most of my friends are of a more "genteel" nature....a nice way of saying they are a bunch of old bastards....but I'll see what I can do....my two sons would enjoy hanging with the inferno though.

 

They do allow "oldies" Me and my hubby aren't spring chickens anymore
and today I am one step closer to the golden years
We are library side sitters but still participate in some Inferno activities.

 

Keep in mind the Inferno now has a West Side section for us geezers-to-be (I'm not that much younger than you ).

And, of course for the luncheon, to sit at the Inferno table you don't even need to be Inferno.

 

Just curious.

Any news coming out of the luncheon?

 

Jeff Cassar to have surgery to amputate a hernia...or hemorhhoids or some such...

 

Inferno table had one ball and two goodie bags with a sticker that indicated that they had won that ball.

 

Sala lost a tooth today in practice courtesy of Abe Thompson.

 

FCD doing deals like Tigres with a team from Brazil and a team from EPL.

 

Oduro hasn't signed with FCD, or at least his contract status is such is that he was introduced as training with the team instead of being a member of the team.

 

I asked about that and was told "paper work hold up, snaffu, red tape"

 

Goodie bag had the following FC Dallas logo'ed items:

a thermos coffe mug
umbrella
water bottle

And several papers that I have not looked over yet.

 

Pictures? Anybody?

 

Yeah, Jefe got Bobby Rhine naked and holding a sign that had the word "sucks" on it, but he is keeping that one for himself.

 

They spelled my last name wrong and apparently I have a sister I knew nothing about and they also spelled her last name wrong. HAHAHA

It was a good lunch filled with lots of boring speeches and video of last year with lots of past players in it. I am sure El Jefe has some interesting pictures to share There weren't many proclamations made by Mud, incase you were wondering

There were a couple of empty tables. The Auction stuff they had was awesome! framed autographed jerseys from several sports' teams like Modano, Pele and Ruiz. Richard Mulrooney sat with us and was very nice! He said he is shooting to play by the end of April **crosses fingers**

They honored John Alper with a lame (IMO) pen and pencil set with a clock too .

 

Does Landon know about this?

 

I'm flipping you off right now, cptn, you just can't see it.

 

He ordered the picture.

 

Interesting.

Any hint on the EPL team?

 

I heard Lamar presided over the Jalper tribute.

I wished I could have been there. For any of the 96'ers,
this has to be a bittersweet moment. The offseason
departures of Haynes and now Jalper leaves only
Hammond as the last, original, employee. McGee
didn't start until '97, although he joins Bobby as
the only one with first-person rememberances
of the franchises' halcyon memories. Which is
scary because it means that the collective
unconcious of the franchise is now majority-owned
by infernites.

In any event, live long and prosper.

Billy, Andy, and now Jalper.

Badges of honor wear they when Soccer Valhalla
calls roll on those who served The Gawdz in Dallas.

I wonder if the EPL team is Everton:

Isn't Andy working with the new management in some role? I know it's nothing official, but he seems to be more involved than he was in the past.

 

My recollection is that he's working for FCD as a consultant on the Hispanic market.

 

I think Everton is a good guess. Isnt there some youth organization in Plano that has some sort of ties to Everton?

 

Yes there is..."Everton America" has about 40 teams playing in the competitive leagues
