Hot Dang!
playing in Milwaukee or Des Moines
I like it.

time to submit my time off slip

Submitting mine tomorrow.

We may double the attendance at the game.

Mebbe. Mebbe not.

If Des Moines, no. They have averaged between 3 to 4 thousand per match for over a decade, leading the PDL in that department.

If the Bavarians, then definitely. They tend to draw around 50 to 100 for their matches, sometimes less.

By the way, the Bavarians play at a complex that has a large public area for festivals and such. Would be brilliant for a place to tailgate.

"The last player to score a hat-trick in a cup final was Stan Mortensen. He even had a final named after him - the Matthews final." - Lawrie McMenemy, former Sunderland manager

I'm game

Just saying: We still have three "Stand Up If You Hate Milwaukee" shirts.

I'll call dibs on one and have cash Saturday.

me too

...and it's even worse than that if they win on the 22nd. As you stated they would then travel to Tampa Bay, come back home to play either on the road (more likely with new bidding process) or possibly at home for a 3rd round game (May 29) and then travel again for a Saturday night game in San Antonio.

That my friends is just plain brutal.

Does Admiral make compression tights? Those are going to be some painful plane rides without them.
