Going through my grandma's computer for files to pass on to my mom (pictures, documents, etc.).

For some reason, she had an internet shortcut to the Wikipedia page for Google+. And while I guess it could be because it was a Wikipedia link in general... why Google+?

Adding to my list of IRL side quests, I covered one of the semifinals of the National Amateur Cup yesterday! And boy howdy was it a humdinger of a match.

Tormenta kept their USL2 team after turning pro though. As far as I've understood, that won't be the case for Sarasota or Fort Wayne.

The recent teams that have moved to pro after qualifying and have fielded both pro and amateur teams in the ensuing USOC (Irvine Zeta 2024, Club de Lyon 2023) were local qualifiers and came in via NISA. My gut says USL isn't gonna operate that way when they have direct control.

I'd expect Sarasota Paradise and Fort Wayne FC to decline spots (or not be offered them at all by USL) as they're both moving to USL League One next year and would get a spot by default.

Me in 2025 and delayed, canceled, or re-routed flights, name a better combo.

Legitimately, well over half my flights this year have fallen into one of those buckets, it's getting really old.

Should Lexington Sporting Club kill 5 of their players to trigger a disaster draft to improve their roster? The USLC disaster draft is a contingency plan to be used when 5 or more players on a team have died or have been dismembered. In the draft, the...

I guess it's fortunate that we're not to the level of Lexington fans wondering if it's worthwhile to kill five of their players to trigger a disaster draft

My frustration with Forward Madison is reaching its tipping point. There need to be some changes, whether that's with players, tactics, or attitudes.

Some Forward Madison fan said sometime after the season opener loss in Naples, "I hope that by the end of May, Forward won't have lost another game and Omaha will be in last place," and the monkey's paw curled

It has finally stopped. If you want to know what I went through, it was this, but instead of 17 seconds, it was 25-30 minutes

If waiting for a bus at Boston Logan International Airport after 1:30 AM when you were never supposed to be there in the first place doesn't sound like a fresh enough hell, then may I suggest that, with a 20+ minute helping of the airport testing its alarm system?

I understand why teams do this, but it feels incredibly minor league and a slap in the face to fans who would be at every game but can't take off work on a midday afternoon.

I half considered going to Chatt for the game (I was at the Knoxville-Madison game and am only about an hour and a half from there) and I am so glad I didn't

Tied for worst. We lost 6-2 to Charlotte Independence on the road on June 27, 2022.

I think Charlotte Independence had more at their away game yesterday, and they're infamous for having close to no home supporters

Also of note since you mentioned Lapsley:
1. Bernd Schipmann has also been injured, but like Osmond, should hopefully be back soon.
2. Lapsley wasn't even our keeper against Tulsa - it was Owen Finnerty, who was signed only a couple weeks ago, so he didn't get a full preseason with the club.

I know you alluded to it at the end of the section on Forward Madison, but Mitch Osmond was injured in preseason and hasn't played a competitive game yet. He did play some minutes in our friendly Saturday so hopefully he'll be back in the lineup soon.
