How is any different than what we are doing right now, in the playoffs? NYCFC, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, MNUFC - we all have played multiple games this late (and later (hopefully this is our year!)). The season already starts in Mid to Late February. We play snow-ball. This changes nothing.

First time watching soccer?

We already play in February. And we are playing now. With the December to Feb break, it's no different.

I mean, I live here and go to games regularly and I'd rather go in December than July or August.

The only issue I see with any plan around flying is making sure you have a direct.... If the FAA schedule slowdown is still in effect by then, at least you won't end up stranded in Salt Lake City, Denver, or Portland or something ...

So... If the Sounders are here in time for the match due to the flight cuts at MSP.... @mnufc.com wins by default, right?

Some things are starting to run out more often at one of the grocery stores I shop weekly. I think it might just be finally starting.

Trust me, he does. Dude is a hunting/cooking beast.

Those of us from Minnesota see these every year. He loves to hunt and fish - and is very good at it, too.

The ones complaining are bandwagon jumpers from the national campaign. Those of us who have Tim as *our* governor know this is our guy.

We've got the part of allergy season where I tell myself every year "Claritin is good... But it can only do so much against the atmospheric horrors."

ADP numbers have historically been horrible, though. Not really a great replacement.

So, Leagues Cup has hockey style points scoring for the roundabout portion.

I don't like it. But I don't hate it, either...
