Pre-match: Columbus Crew vs Who Shot J.R. FC | Match 3 - Mar. 16, 2019 2:00 PM ET

we gained some coastal defenses. tbh, if invaded, those areas provide no value and we should pull back quickly to defend the more important areas.

 

This will come as a shock to absolutely no one: I don't understand this MLS/Risk thing. I also have approximately one thousand questions about it.

 

It's easy. Start of the season everyone team gets a home area. If you beat a team that has area you acquire all of it. If you have area and lose, the team that beats you acquires all of it. The map updates after each match. It's just kinda of a fun thing to watch (especially as a Buckeye fan who win a lot and usually have lots of territory.)

 

No no, I understand what it is. I do not understand why it is. It doesn't make any sense to me - it's not logical.

 

Correct. Not logical at all. It's supposed to be "fun." Just a different way to brag if your team is any good or not.

 

...ok.

 

Thing is, if we beat Dallas this weekend, I don't actually want any of Texas.

******** Texas.

 

San Antonio is nice.

Youd have to tie me up and drug me to make me go to Lubbock.

Sort of like Toledo without the warmth and charm

 

Waco wasn't bad, for the 3 hours I was there - Magnolia Market/Bakery and the Mammoth Site were the draw. I had the most nondescript Texmex of my life in Dallas. The George W. Bush Library is a must see.

Easily the biggest highlight of my day trip to Texas was being able to utter the phrase that every Ohioan lusts after the most: "Double Double Animal Style, please."

 

I had to look that up--but it does sound good.

 

Hmmm is this worth a yellow card?

 

Is Toledo warm and charming? I live here and am not aware of that....but maybe I don't have an objective opinion.

Were home to the Mud Hens and Tony Packos, have a nice art museum and zoo, and build the Jeep Wrangler. Beyond that were kinda Detroit Jr.

 

I have a son who lives there. I make him come visit me.

I do like my Wrangler though. And Mancys Steak House is excellent.

 

I live close to Mancys and if you have a newer Wrangler, I built it.

 

Then thank you. My dog and I dig it. Weve taken the thing everywhere. Nothing stops it.

 

Live long and prosper.

 

As Commandant (Appointed) First Class of the newly acquired North East Territories I assure you these areas are rich with lobster, engineers, hockey players, and co-eds. The High Command should allow me to exploit our new territory for all it is worth while the time is here.

 

The zoo is first rate, especially given the smaller size of Toledo. The old WPA buildings are also a great asset for them and have been repurposed nicely (there's a cafe in the old carnivore building where you can eat in the old big cat cages).

 

You might want to run that strategy by this guy:

Upon further reflection, even though it was not my intent, I regret that I contributed to the fake-Civil War letters home genre.

 

IKNOWRITE?

This is what his highlight should have been:

 

I would say Waco blows
