On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is ‘watchin soccer’ with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
Spring is here. It’s time to get started. While my unbridled enthusiasm is muted somewhat by the economy which has forced me to reduce my spring travel from previous years, I’m in the Carolinas for a week-end of college soccer.
My week-end exploits will be posted on the big board, CollegeSoccerNews.com early next week.
On Friday, I watched Wake Forest continue their dominance over Denver with two Zack Schilawski goals to win 2-0 on a rainy evening.
On Saturday, I travel to Rock Hill, South Carolina for 10 games on a forecasted rainy day (send sympathy, aspirin and tissues) for the Manchester Cup.
Here is the schedule:
1st game:
- UNC Wilmington vs Kentucky
- Winthrop vs Furman
- Clemson vs ODU
- South Carolina vs UNCG
- Charlotte vs College of Charleston
2nd game:
- Furman vs Kentucky
- Clemson vs UNC Wilmington
- Charlotte vs South Carolina
- College of Charleston vs ODU
- Winthrop vs UNCG
These are some of the best teams in the southeast that I would have a hard time seeing in the Fall. I came to this tournament last year and really enjoyed the format – essentially non-stop soccer all day. There are two fields that are back-to-back and the tournament starts at staggard times allowing no down time. It’s a soccer junkie’s nirvana.
As I mentioned, my travels this spring is significantly reduced, I only have a few more games on my schedule after this week-end.

Again, look at CollegeSoccerNews.com for my article on this week-end’s game early next week. I’ll post a note with a link when the article is published.
