Good Morning Nordecke

Hello, my name is Patrick Guldan. I usually write on the Crew over at An American Game, but I am helping out Ryan for the next couple of days. I guess now is a good time to come clean: I don’t sit in the Nordecke, but I love watching the corner in action. It has made going to games that much better. A win and the supporters in full voice is a beautiful experience.

I will be adding some game grades in a little bit, but I thought I would also throw in a reminder for the Mark McCullers webchat at 2pm today. Get your questions in now and grill him about the transfer market, security issues, the long rumored training ground, and of course how the team is doing.

Tuesday Update: Open Cup and Stadium Rumors.

With Jehrico and Crewfighter off to the mythical floodplains of Peoria, I thought I would just give a quick update of some news and rumors floating around Crew Nation.

The Crew are obviously playing the Chicago Fire in the U.S. Open Cup tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have any lineup info yet, but hopefully, I can get some updates from the guys on the field during the game tonight. We'll see.

Also, there's a rumor that the naming rights for Columbus Crew Stadium have been purchased, and that an announement is forthcoming today. That rumor comes purely off of the Big Soccer message boards, but I thought I'd give you a heads up in case it is true. Again, take it with a grain of salt until you hear it from someone reputable, like Dan Rather.

I'm working until 8pm tonight, but in the meantime check here,
here, or here for updates.
