First practice is Tuesday, March 17. Spring game will be Friday, April 24.

Got my $100 t-shirt

Does anyone know when Spring practices start? Sure would be nice to get some media updates on it but I doubt that will happen (as usual).

Aw man those guys were the best. Hope it wasn’t a student org that went under

There’s a big group in yellow shirts on the sideline bleachers. It’s not them but it reminded me that we haven’t seen the group of Brazilian business students at a game yet this year

I was not so lucky, I’ll be writing a check when I get home to get one

General admission attendance actually is pretty solid for 15 mins to tip off. The rest not so much

I watched their win over UMass & they looked pretty tough. Maybe learning to play sans Freitag?

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=55698&articleTitle=college-signees-to-watch-in-mls-next-pro As the MLS NEXT Pro season begins this weekend, keep an eye on these 10 college signings. Stefan Dobrijevic, Austin FC II – The Akron scoring ace has precedent going from Zip, to NEXT Pro to an MLS deal. Jason Shokalook is part of the Chicago Fire after first signing with the second team. Dobrijevic is a strong candidate in Austin to pull off the same feat. The striker has the quality to bang in NEXT Pro goals and earn first-team reps. It won’t be simple because the team does pour tons of money into its attacking positions via transfers (and they rarely work).

I was a college housemate (Sumner and Gage Streets) of Jack Patterson’s son John. I’m still very good friends with him today. I attended Jack’s funeral, and John’s eulogy he told a neat story about his dad. John’s team made the intramural finals at Stow high school. They couldn’t break a press, so he asked his dad for help. Jack was the beat writer for Ohio State at the time. During a road game trip Jack pulled OSU coach Eldon Miller aside in a hotel lobby and asked him how to break a press. Eldon took Jack’s notepad and drew it out. John’s team won the game. Not sure if they were pressed at any point, but they were prepared. 😊
