The president who is now being featured on the History Channel...
... and our BB who saw the Houston Dynamo become MLS Cup Champions for the second straight year, this time coming from behind in the second half to win 2-1. I wonder if our AJ was among the orange-clad Houston crowd at the game and is therefore still partying in DC tonight.
Nice day for Andrew Jackson

Oh, yeah. I was there!
Two years, two cups!
Amazing, amazing game especially to come from behind against a team like New England. Our guys played like champions especially in the 2nd half. And that was missing our best goal scorer, Brian Ching, to an injury sustained last Saturday and our All-Star defensive midfielder, Ricardo Clark, to suspension.
I don't know if this link will work but I'm waving the big orange flag with a star. And, yes, we had a couple of smoke bombs and a flare at one point.

Congrats, AJ, on the Dynamo.
A little self-congratulations to the Big Red on finally winning the Bucket this year. I still haven't seen a good analysis of the Bowl picture in the Big Ten -- they may be waiting to see if OSU and/or Illinois wind up in BCS bowls, and which ones.

How ever will Boston ever recover from the loss?gsabc wrote:The New England Revolution have become the Buffalo Bills of pro soccer, or maybe, more accurately, the pre-2004 Red Sox. Four championship game appearances, four one-goal losses. This one would have been a nice parlay for the Krafts.

Congratulations to Indiana. I didn't get to see the game yet but I saw the "lowlights" on Saturday night in DC.mrkelley23 wrote:Congrats, AJ, on the Dynamo.

Yeah, the Big Ten bowl picture is still a little murky. Especially with so many teams with the same/similar records. And Ohio State still having an outside shot at the national title game.
The prediction in the Houston Chronicle today had IU going to the Insight Bowl in Arizona to play Nebraska and Purdue going to the Motor City Bowl to play Central Michigan.
We shall see.

Now, if we just can win against Colorado.
(It will be interesting to see Nebraska fire two consecutive coaches after wins against Colorado. Win or lose, I have to think that Tom Osborne has to pull the trigger this weekend. With the Michigan and Texas A & M jobs coming open, Nebraska can not afford to wait to get its guy.)
