Season Ticket Day

One of the best things about being a season ticket holder is the day the package of tickets comes in the mail and that was today for my Rutgers football tickets. After a nice day at the beach, I returned to headquarters to find the tickets in my mailbox.
This years tickets are huge upgrade over last years. Last years were just white pieces of paper, this year each tickets has an image of Rutgers football. Not bad. I can not wait for Labor Day.

Sometimes people are wrong

What do Zac Wasserman, Jon Van Cleave, Ryan O'Hara (pictured above), Robert Lane, and Mike Affleck all have in common?

At one point they where all the talk of college football coach, they all attended the well known Elite 11 QB Camp in California. The event, celebrated its 10th anniversary, provides the nation's top high school quarterbacks with high-level instruction by the best in the business, making it the nation's premier quarterback camp for prep athletes. The Elite 11 was held in Southern California July 21-24.

All five attend major schools ranging from Penn State to Arizona but did not impressed some even dropping down to schools like LA Valley Community College and Central Oklahoma.

A look at the list of players that has attended the camp reads like a train wreck of players that did not live up to their billing. Let's hope players like Thomas Savage, Garrett Gilbert and the rest of this years quarterbacks that attended the camp make out better then Roman Ybarra, yes he attended the camp too.

Thoughts from the 2008 Emirates Cup

As the season gets closer teams are wrapping up their preseason training. One of the biggest preseason events is the Emirates Cup. This year the cup featured host Arsenal, Hamburg HSV, Juventus, and Real Madrid over the weekend.

Here are some thoughts about the two day event.

• Hamburg's young mid fielder Jonathan Pitoipa looks like he is going to have a break out year in Germany this year.
• Can we please have names on the back of the shirts, Real Madrid.
• I did not know that Javier Saviola was still at Madrid.
• As a United fan Arsenal scares me the most, it just seems like they have players coming out of everywhere.
• Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, the baby of Wenger's group, reminds me of a young Scholes minus the ginger hair of course.
• Juve's gold road jerseys might be one of the worst looking in all of Europe.
• Theo Walcott might be the most improve player in the EPL this year.
• Despite the loss of Van der Vaart Hamburg is still going to play some attractive soccer.
