The reigning champions vs. the USL1 team in USL2
One of the finest stadiums in the league
An 18 year old rivalry

Let's face it folks, this is a dream final for the league. I thought the game deserved a thread of it's own for fans to share the history/facts/stories of these two teams. Maybe someone can compile it into an article or a resource for FSC next week.

Here's why I love the Kickers/Battery rivalry:

The 2002 play-off comeback
The Trash Bag outfits
"Judas"
BigDave vs. BUCK
The fact that they finished 1-2 in their division every season for like, 5 years?

What else?

I'll have to say, as much as he drove me crazy, many of my memories involve Buck. His calling Ronnie a thug, him posting about Richmond broadcasts (or lack of) ad nasuem, finally meeting him in person and realizing he is actually an ok guy; he's just an internet jerk (there you go - a compliment & dis all rolled into one :))

Hitting the wall 72 out of 85 steps up to unfurl a "the Buck Stops Here" banner. Damn near puked my guts out, but it was worth it.

Anyone making the trip down? We are having a big tailgate and would be great to put a name to the faces (I actually met PattieA in Iraq so that doesnt count)after all these years.

Certainly the Goal was to have Justin around for the Post 2010 Championship Party but it goes without saying there's NO team I'd rather crush in a Final more than the kNickers - They've stolen some hardware from us in the past... this will be great fun~!

Buck's best material, usually comes from his late night/early morning posts, when he's in form.
