OT - Lost, Crying In Rentschler Field Parking Lot

[ZooCougar]

The guy admitted he was a sports writer in the past. he's used to parking right next to the doors to the press boxes and cushioned, glass enclosed seats, proverbially. He had to park with the heathens and lost his way for a whole 20 minutes. John, is absolutely right, the kid wouldn't have been upset at all, if the dad wasn't upset - and if the kid was that upset on his own, it's probably because of something else, probably like a 5 year old that is up way past bed time, outdoors, and exposed to all kinds of loud, large, environment and is on overload freaking out.

What a joke of an op-ed.

U.S.A. soccer fans. Pathetic.

In Europe, or Brazil, people die in the stands. this jack wagon can't find his car for 20 minutes.

1972 wants you back.

I love you guys that disparage soccer fans for being . You realize that riots in the stands are part of the soccer experience right?

I think you replied to the wrong guy.

There are soccer fans and then there are US soccer fans - like comparing Green Bay Packers to Southington Midget Football Packers...

Except USA Soccer fans got rave reviews from all the other fans in Brazil this summer.

Yeah, we're so bad that all of these other countries are now using the "I believe" chant. In any event, I'll take our fans over the hooligans you see in Europe.

US fans also travel better than any other fan base. This has been proven in 2014, 2010, the Confed Cup in 2009, and Germany 2006. We bought so many tickets for the game against Italy in Kaiserslautern that we outnumbered a country that was basically right next door.

 

[ZooCougar]

There is a HUGE difference between European soccer fans and American soccer fans, John.

Please describe a stereotypical European soccer fan. I guess that would be like describing a stereotypical European. Good luck with that one.

That "I believe" chant is so European and feminine.

Yeah, it originated from the US Naval Academy, then Kansas City started using it and it caught on. Both places are really feminine and European.

I actually thought it was Utah St. basketball of all places?

And San Diego State and a few others, also really feminine and European places. Here's a not so serious but serious question. Do you still own a flip phone?

I'm still on rotary.

@ZooCougar...you like soccer.

"Are you to the left or the right of Cabelas?"
"I'm about 100 yards to the right."
"Near the rope with the metal cans?"
"Almost. Closer to the second row of mobile spotlights."
"Cool..."

To the left or right when you're in the loot looking at the stadium or from the stadium looking out at Cabela's?

... and there is not a 5 year old on earth that thinks of traffic while leaving a major sporting event!!!

Unless Dad had a meltdown about traffic on the way in.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

This is how I originally pictured this clown acting. Substitute "bread and milk" with "find my car":

 

[Dogged]

This year watching UConn from the safety of my family room I get lost trying to find my way to the kitchen. However I have not blamed my children.

Damn it!!! I went to the wrong mobile spotlight...

If the author wants free parking and no hassles or fear of getting lost, don't go to a 1-A football stadium. Go down the road to New Haven and watch a clearly inferior brand of football at Yale where they...wait, they beat Army, so I'll wait until the night of November 8 to re-post that part.
