Hall of Fame and other tidbits

October 10, 2007 by f4denz.

OK, I would like to say “congrat’s” to Jason Kreis for being named to the Duke University Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2007. I did not realize that he was a 3 time All-American while playing at Duke. It was a bit funny watching him get embarrassed last night by Bill Riley on the Coach’s show, you could tell once again that Jason is not a real self promoter, when it comes to himself. In fact he had not even announced it the team, despite the press release over a month ago, I hope he has a great time at the ceremony on Thursday night.

Is Soccer gaining a foothold in the US?

I found an interesting article online From Football Stadium Digest, so even a site dedicated to pointy ball, has noticed the recent trend of soccer specific stadiums being built. They draw the conclusion that soccer must be doing better in the US, if people are willing to build stadiums.

Interesting US national team roster

So a few players with RSL connections have been called into camp for the US vs. Switzerland match Roster Announced, a great chance for Robbie Findley to get some time with the national team, and maybe we will even get to see Chris Seitz get some playing time.

The “new” quakes get a GM

So shortly after RSL announced our GM, the new version of the SJ quakes introduced their choice for GM John Doyle, the article offers a quick glimpse at his backround.

OK I am off to BYU for the reserve match, more later
