The US Soccer Hall of fame used to be in Oneonta and they would have an U-23 (with ringers) international on the Hartwick campus every summer. It was a great event, just sitting on the side of Oyaron Hill watching Lalas, Reyna and the boys.
Almost makes up for the fact that this will be the first year in four that I have not spent a few days enjoying the Susquehanna valley.
Ah yes — Alex Lalas, the star of a Rutgers team that was ranked fourth in the country, only to see its season (and his career) end with ... a home loss to SMU in the NCAA tournament.
Shout out to Giampaulo Pedroso, Bryan Thompson, John Howard, Johnny Reynolds, Alan Prampin, Marcus Keane, Scott Blankenship, Jeff Stokes, Cody Schroeder, Andy Strouse, Mike Carlson, Jared Sagal, and the rest of the guys (sorry I can't remember everyone — it has been a few years!) from that team who walked into a big, crowded Rutgers stadium and knocked off one of the nation's top teams.
