    Okay folks. Just a friendly reminder that DCU has not won a game since June. We need to rid the curse and win a game by doing our part. Although almost all hope is lost, wouldn't it be great to see Landon and Co. get pasted 4-0?

    Here are some suggestions to lift the curse:
    -bring your santeria luck candle
    (that means you K!)
    -pray to your favorite Supreme Being
    (mine happens to be JC, but feel free to consult Allah, Buddha, et al.)
    -hire Father Pete to perform an on-field exorcism
    (keep him out of the family section)
    -bring effigies of Quake players to stab with needles
    (keep Landon's effigy away from SoccerBarbie; when she tells you she's not stalking Landon's voodoo doll, nod politely and discreetly call security)
    -sacrifice small animals in Lot 8 during tailgate
    (I'd suggest choosing from the many rats that populate Lot 8--it's cheaper, saves you from bringing your own animals, and PETA can't complain too much)

    I'm open to other suggestions as well. Feel free to list them :)

    If I'm feeling very productive tomorrow (this is highly unlikely) maybe I'll bring some voodoo cookies and pass them out at the various tailgates.

    But don't hold your breath.

    OK, time to make a list of things that we did differently over the last week . . . and repeat, and repeat, and repeat . . .

    1. Woke up at 4:14 (yes, set the clock) and not 4:15.
    2. Parked in the first slot on the right side of parking lot, not the left, at WJFK (my real job)
    3. Emailed old girlfriend from a lifetime ago wishing her happy birthday and best wishes
    4. Ignored RH at 2 out of the 4 practices that I attended this week
    5. Broke all the rules and wore the "colors" into the pressbox - screw "neutraul and unbias" reporting!
    6. Change from Aftra blades to Bic throw away razors
    7. Listened to Mozart CD and passed on Metalica while driving
    8. Change thinking from mentally flipping the finger to "Cweedchop" and thought, "well maybe he's got a point .. ." about Moreno
    9. Went running for health and not for to extricate myself from danger
    10. Drank an imported beer and not a domestic that supports MLS.

    Ohhhh . . . the pain we go through!

    1) Tore two major ligaments in my ankle.
    2) Bought a red and black purse

    Now, should I start on my other ankle today, or do that on the day of the game?

    Talk about taking one for the team!

    The santaria candle was left with the SE stuff inside RFK for next time so it'll be there next home game. However if the team blows it's next two games it really won't matter.

    OUCH!! hope you're OK. Having tore up my ankle on the pitch, I feel your pain. Maybe you should buy a Black and Red purse. It's cheaper and less painful ;)

    It's not too bad. Not fun, but not excruciating...

    I'll just build up my 'black and red' wardrobe.
