Heh, Pat, Wade, and Dom got cowboy boots too. Wade looked absolutely horrified afterwards when I asked him if he was going to wear them. I can't imagine why.
(Guy in the white hat to the guy in the black hat): "Hey Luke, I can't wait to see those boys trot out onto the FieldTurf on a beautiful Texas July afternoon!"
I spoke to Coach. He was with issues. I told him welcome to Houston Texas. At the mike, he spoke openly about the players commitment to the youth and community connection. Afterwards, he told me that he only found out about this within the past many hours. I guess they waited till late to tell the team. That woulda rubbed me wrong also.

seeing this picture makes me even more depressed, Dom does not look like he wants to be there at all. When I heard him interviewed by Gary Radnich on KNBR last month, when asked about going to Houston, he didn't sound too psyched about going there, but I guess you gotta go if you want to get a paycheck.
They look sad. This is a travesty. I wish all MLS fans would boycott this league to teach 'um a lesson to not mess with the fans.
Hehe, and you mean "and no cattle"? Hey, that could be the new team name, the way MLS thinks it's just fine to freight them around l.ike they did: "The Houston Cattle". Why not? At least there's a stampede possibility with that name, right? And just maybe they'll find their way back home...
