I don't know if anyone saw, but check out the promotion that the Dynamo are running: http://houston.mlsnet.com/t200/fans/2006/playoff_campaign/ Kind of cool, IMO.
Backe looks a little bit like Stewie Holden, I think... http://houston.mlsnet.com/t200/imgs/fans/2006/playoff_campaign/backe_sm.jpg
Man, that dude would be a great addition to the TA/EB! He's got more energy when he's in the dugout waiting to go back to the mound then anybody. I bet he could jump and sing for 6 hours, not just the 2 hours of the game. I can't wait to see who else is going to be there next week.
Sweet! Hope he fully recovers over the off-season. I wonder who the other players will be? I know that Spanoulis, the new Rockets player from Greece, is a soccer fan, and I'm sure there are several Texans that are as well.
hey he has a scarf-is he a season tix holder? WTF! Are they just giving those things out to any bub on the street?
Yeah, that is pretty cool. Nice tie-in to try to gain interest from other sports' fans. It'd be cool to see them take that to the advertising level - having local sports heroes in Dynamo gear on billboards, tv, newspaper ads, etc.
Your right, Backe does look like Stewie.Could possbly pass as twins. Think there will be more stars wanting to spread their "Tucous" for the Dynamo.
Amen....if he was healthy, we would have trounced the Mets and kick the hell outta the Tigers. Can't wait to see him pitch again next year. If he is at the game next week, I ssssssssssssssoooooooooooo want to get his auto and meet him
bumping up, see who else has been added since Backe... http://web.mlsnet.com/t200/fans/2006/playoff_campaign/
Just to update: We now have some Texans (Kris Brown, Sage Rosenfels, and Chad Stanley), and others (i.e. Aeros, La Mafia). Because I'm at school in DC and don't live in Houston right now, I'm a bit curious... Are these played on TV at all? Probably not, but it would be sweet. -bayernguy
Bayernguy, one question only : in your school in DC , do they not teach you , what team to support ?!!! In Muenchen that would be 1860 !! Just kidding , my german son is born in Muenchen , and me , a VfB Stuttgart 1893 diehard , went with him to Bayern games . Still leaves me a bad taste in my mouth
haha! If I supported 1860, I'd probably kill myself. The only thing I could cheer about them is that Gregg Berhalter plays for them. That said, I'll let your opinions slide, because ultimately, we both love the men in Orange (at least, I'd imagine you do)! -bayernguy
That's the first thing I thought when I saw that ball too. I've seen the Chitvas and Galaxatives ones at Target around town, but that's the first time I've seen a Dynamo ball.
You should be sorry , you hurt our feelings !!! How about , you buy mabeuf and me on Sunday each a beer ????
