My mom guides tours at Campus Martius, so you can tour the Rufus Putnam house with her if you'd like.
I've never been. I'm going to make a point of stopping by. As for the thread, I'm not at all encouraged by the fact that the same corporate geniuses who ultimately call the shots in Columbus just today solved their qb problem by trading for Kenny Pickett.
Beats what they had.... At least they now have a QB who won a Super Bowl (even if he did play at P*tt).
She only dies Mondays, and not every one as she still substitute teaches. Teaching takes priority as it pays while the museum is a volunteer thing.
Booth won a championship. And is from Reynoldsburg, BTW. Met him a couple of times at alumni functions.
Issa (Is standing ) Tall makes one good move so far. His grade F has now been changed to C- (for now ) let’s see how it works out but hopefully the next window we get depth , u22s and a quality DP He has a lot of work to do, he just finally got started. Can’t really judge any of it until our season is over. Hopefully it goes better then last years playoffs and CCC this year. Results matter and so far Nancy has made him look good by beating up bad teams. We really needed this upgrade for this May stretch. Wouldn’t mind finding a few more players from MLS teams willing to sell. But I think other than ST we can make due until summer.
Kudos. Great take. A fax or Discord post or whatever was likely sent out to MLS GMs: "Gadzig available for cash." Crew had cash available. Not a long-term investment on this player either way (at least not yet).
I mean, I'd have liked it more a month ago before our CCC tie with LAFC. And we still need, IMHO, at least 3 more pieces: CF, CM, CB. We have 1 INT slot open, 3 U22 slots, and can open up a DP by buying Nagbe down. But the Gazdag move is darn near a HR. Proven producer in MLS ready to go from Day 1. Good Nancyball fit as a versatile attacker. Does not take up an INT spot. In a cash deal, that was all out of pocket, so no TAM or GAM used up. No long term commitment, as 2026 is an option year. 29 years old. Salary right on the cusp of being in TAM/buy down territory next year ($15k above using his 2024 salary). We desperately needed attacking help, and we got it.
This. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll make the CCC each year, and ISTM that when you qualify for it, you want to have your act together so you can show well. That aside, this is a good move. I’ll take it. Better late than never.
Ha, that was the most ambiguous way of saying. Mention Reynoldsburg and alumni in the same sentence and leave out college....
When it comes to HS graduations, I'm not sure there's a bigger shitshow than Reynoldsburg. Those who arrive on time are considered early.
FC Cincinnati undefeated since signing Kei Kamara. Columbus Crew winless since in-state rival FC Cincinnati signed Columbus Crew Legend, Kei Kamara. Fire Issa Tall.
