Never played Clash at Demonhead, but beyond that, I like the cut of your jib. RCR is still in my top five games of all time.

Clearly I misspoke, btw, given that I didn't hear about coins being chucked at Suarez until today.

Ahaha, fair point. I do think the "friendly" moniker actually has more to do with the fans than the teams on the pitch.

"Hated rivals?"

I'm an alum, as is my wife (both '01), but we haven't been too terribly connected to the physical location of UIUC in quite a while. You mention the student project last semester, and it certainly sounds like those kids were idiots. It makes me wonder, though, is it now the general opinion of the community there that…

I feel like I would appreciate Cooperstown a lot more than I did when I was 14 (almost 20 years ago, Jesus) and did actually visit the Hall. The Hall was great, and everything baseball related around it was great, but the town itself was brutal. We couldn't even get a hotel within 20 minutes, and the one we did get…

Ugh, why does that last one just have to have someone in a Sporting Kansas City shirt? Leave my team for the non-crazies!

Yep, two 4x4 pieces is exactly how I envisioned it. Thanks for the info!

Really excited about this idea for the home office I'm about to start building. Has a nice DIY aesthetic, is more versatile, and is a lot cheaper. How did you do the edges? Just leave them bare, or did you do any finishing work on them? Some trimmed rubber tubing seems like it could work.

I fall into your definition of "cornhusker," I guess, at least by birth, and I can tell you that you're still off-base. I had Optimum for a few years when I lived in New York, and they really are good (and they sound like they've gotten better, though I still don't really believe your numbers). However, your one…

Can't agree more. From a non-game-specific perspective, I started a trial account with Carbonite on Tuesday, because I was starting to worry about losing the tens of thousands of photos I've taken over the last few years in the case of a local catastrophe. Skip to today and I've managed to upload about 10% of my main…

Before clicking the link, I thought, "man, this has to be the same terrifying robot cat my daughter got from one of her great aunts at Christmas." ...Yep.

Amateurs can wirelessly stream photos from their cameras to local machines fairly easily nowadays; I'm no pro, but I would be shocked if every major pro photographer's shots at a big event weren't being automatically transmitted somewhere on the fly.

The league is pushing very hard for all teams to end up in soccer-specific stadiums. Only a few teams have no plans to move from their dual-use stadiums, and I believe (though I can't verify straightaway) that it's a requirement for new expansion.

No, it's actually the opposite. If any part of the body legally capable of playing the ball is in an offside position, it's offside.

It can't be! It's in Spanish! /foxnews

It was on ESPN nationwide. I believe they just use Unimas because they consider it superior to not hear American commentary.

I left KC last summer myself. Coming (back) to Boston, in fact, despite being from neither place. I missed KC already, but with Sporting being one of the things I missed the most about it, last night was both amazing and pretty bittersweet at once.

The Cauldron cranked out that tifo, too. They even cancelled one day of painting for it because they had so many folks in helping out.

I'm getting Kinja'd here but I wanted to share the gif on this page to all the folks complaining about SKC being overly foulhappy.
