We played them last year. They're a tough team. It's gonna be a great matchup, but I'm predicting success with some of the Texas teams.

Go TECH!

I remember playing against Binge last year in Arizona, and shut him down, he only had 1 goal against me when he picked it up from the mid-field on a dead ball, and just ran down and scored, the other 2 goals he had that game came from man-down. It is not hard to lock him off, but he is a good player.

I'd appreciate it if someone who's privvy to this stuff could point me to the times for the specific games this weekend.

I'm looking forward to see how New Hampshire will do. I think it's been a while since a LSA and PCLL team have played each other. New Hampshire is a good team and should do well down there.

In the spring of 2003 the Aggies traveled to Boston and defeated Boston U, Bridgewater State, and Rhode Island over the course of the weekend. Great trip, and Boston U's old football stadium is great venue to play at. Very historic, as we all know, it used to be the home of the Boston Braves.

Emo, poor Emo. Maybe if you'd pay more attention in practice you'd know all the game times and scheduling by now. As for us, I think we play something like Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 7 PM, and Sunday at 10 AM. Something like that.

I seem to remember Boston as a very weird city. If you were out late at night you could hear random people wondering the streets like mad men yelling their own names. It was the weirdest thing.

Good luck to the LSA teams this weekend. I'm interested to see how Tech, A&M, and UT fair against Oakland and New Hampshire. North Texas, SMU, and Tech are playing Eastern Michigan also. I don't know much about these OOC teams, anyone care to make some predictions?

Tech - Oakland
UNT - Eastern Michigan
New Hampshire - A&M

Oakland - UT
Eastern Michigan - SMU
New Hampshire - Tech

Eastern Michigan - Tech
New Hampshire - UT
Oakland - A&M

I think A&M vs New Hampshire will be a great matchup. I have to admit I'm a little worried about all the snow up north--not sure how much field time New Hampshire has had...although they do have new turf since I graduated.

Dustin, I am sure you also remembered how Boston streets are when you were in a car going around in the Beantown. :shock:

All I remember about Boston streets are that there are no lanes...everyone just drove wherever they wanted. Oh...and they don't have exits ever block like in Texas...if you miss it you are driving 5 miles the wrong direction. I don't think we were there 5 min. before we had the some Bostonian dropping f-bombs on us...pretty sure it was one of Boston's finest too.

There were two jokes that I learned when I was living in Massachusetts (1988 to 1993) unless the New Englanders from PCLL jumps in in this thread...

1. The Boston streets were patterned after cow paths.

2. The drivers drive to beat their own time.

Believe me, from my perspective, the traffic in Houston and Dallas are tame compared to driving in Boston.

To answer a few questions, Oakland will be able to go to Nationals this year.

We play a good Texas Team on Friday night. Are good friends Tech on Sat, and then play A&M on Sunday.

I recall 3 years ago we were in Houstion, there was this great strip clup called the Penthouse. Can anyone direct me there.

All three team have our respect, very well coached and great programs, thanks to Tony and Chris for doing a great job setting this up.
