We are in with a bunch of the 'Clubhouse Tailgate' folks from the Airport RV lot. We've all reserved spots at "Lady's". I'm not sure when we will be arriving but I'm debating just taking off from the Liberty game and keep going west. Our reservation is for 'the week'.

For me the Acree gif is as much about the facilities as him. Who wouldn't feel some kind of awe working out there? I wish the shot could have been held a little longer to have a more complete view of the stadium as well as the indoor facility and outdoor practice field. Five minutes before game time walk recruits through there and then down the tunnel to their seats for the Sandman Entrance. Nice!

Better hurry up and reply before one of your kids picks up the phone and disconnects you. You'll burn all your free AOL hours re-connecting.

In terms of overall votes, Grove is actually ahead of Pyne by 10 right now. But Pyne has more 1st and 3rd place votes, where Grove has more 2nd place votes.

Montgomery is a clear 3rd as the only other center to cross 500 votes. The other guys max out at 250.

I picked those three myself, because they were the only names I recognized (the latter two from seeing them play, and Pyne from his retired number.)

Duane Brown is up in the OT category, as one of 10 options, of which you can select 6, and he's running away with it (Well, Chung is close behind him, but Brown has a ton of more 1st place votes).

I agree, I've liked Raphael's play a lot, but outside of him the rest of the supporting cast seems to be playing a little uninspired.

No he was intentionally fouling him. I 100% agree with that decision to foul Messi in that situation and I think any other player would have done that too if he was in Wondos position on the field. You don't let Messi dribble at full speed, straight ahead, towards the space between your center backs, 30 yards out, and no one in front of him by 5 yards. He IS the best player in the world in that situation, and I would always rather take a free kick at 26 yards out than Messi seeing the entire field and our back line back pedaling while he sprints at them. In that situation he scores 9/10 times at least. Off a free kick a most he scores 5/10 times.

Au sable, Mason tract, then to a tiny stream right across the bridge in the UP. No big hatches with the full moon, but the Hex's will peak in the next week.

That was a tough one to watch. It felt like we never even had a chance to attack, just on the defensive the entire game. Argentina owned us badly.

My group of 10 has three tent camping sites in Earhart Campground West. Hoping for a lot of Hokies in the campsite.

I'm arriving early Friday morning to get everything set up and get an early start on my Monday morning hangover.

As someone who made it my life's work, for several years, to keep Bud the King of Beers, I can't argue with that.

Bleh. My prediction was 3-1 Argentina, but I didn't think we'd be completely overrun like we were. Obviously missing Wood, Bedoya and Jones had some effect, but even with that in mind, Klinsmann botched the gameplan here badly.

The 4-4-2 with only the top 3 or 4 of the formation pressing left TONS of space in the middle of the field for Argentina to operate. And when you give Messi & Co. that much room to operate, bad things are going to happen.

People can complain about guys like Wondo & Beckerman having poor showings, but Klinsmann was asking them to perform a strategy that flat out doesn't fit their skillsets. A tactically sound coach would have adjusted to the personnel available (that he selected, mind you).

I had hope that Jurgen would actually do something sensible since his tactics had been pretty sound in the last few games. Playing Argentina was begging for a more conservative gameplan (with or without the suspended guys). But alas, that was not meant to be last night.
