Comments
Joe - Since it rained all weekend and there were no soccer matches to speak of, I am sure you did a lot of writing on boys high school soccer, wrote new posts for your blog (which you said you would write one every day - yeah, right), and put togther new top 10 rankings. What the heck is going on with reporting on high school soccer in this town?? Dave leaves the Trib, you write one or two stories a week, maybe (50% of which are on Nuequa and Naperville central). I mean, I know times are tough and everything and (according to Marriotti), print news is going the way of the dinosaur, but geez, this year is a total disaster so far for high school soccer. Maybe I should become a football (U.S.) fan, cause at least I can follow my favorite team in the papers!! Come on Joe, write baby, write!!!
