Whoa Whoa, You Got The Best Of My News
-The big news for me is that our beloved coach of the Minnesota Thunder, Buzz Lagos, has announced that he is stepping aside at the end of this season. Its going to be a huge loss to the team, but a real chance to make something exciting and new happen. The Buzzard has been the only coach the team has ever known in its 16 years of exsistence. His record with the team is 320 wins, 142 losses, & 42 draws. Outstanding by any measuring stick! We will miss you immensely Coach!

I saw some scheduling/format info earlier today for Copa Sudamericana 2005. Not sure what makes it special, but there ya go.
Yeah, here's the URL from CONMEBOL: http://www.conmebol.com/comunicados_ver.jsp?id=57973&slangab=S.
Here's the gist for DC United: They'll play either a Chilean or a Peruvian club home-and-home on Sept. 21 and Oct. 5 (although the DCU site says Sept. 15 and 22). If they win, they're in the quarterfinals.
Of course this comes right down the stretch of the regular season. I can only hope that DC won't be struggling for one of the last playoff spots, so they can take this tourney seriously.
