Message: [QUOTE="Waquoit, post: 4905285, member: 50"] Opening Day today and I'm looking forward to a good season. Then again, I felt the same way last year and they came in DFL. But last year (to paraphrase Rare Earth) I put my faith in Tab Ramos and Tab Ramos let me down. This year it's another re-set but this one might take. HA has a new CEO with good player connections and a new coach who is well-repected around the league (despite the fact he's a BCU alum). Pre-season pundits have them fighting for a play-off spot. I'm hoping for better. We'll score, I'm not sure about the keeping. Like they always say, "if you have five goalkeepers, you really have no goalkeepers." One new bit of spiciness this year, Rhody is finally fielding a team after threatening to do so for years. One of their first bits of business was poaching two of Hartford's most popular players. Not just that, they are throwing a ton of cash around for players including the league's top goal scorer. I honestly think part of this is PC-UConn envy. And it was just announced that there will be a team playing at Coney Island next season. That will make a nice Northeast contingent. Before, the closest away games were at Pitt and Loudoun, VA. And my offer still holds, if I see you at a game, I'll buy you a beer. ADD: They won their 1st game! On the road at +350! [/QUOTE]
