OK, so I had no idea that there was such thing as The Brimstone Cup. I was watching the Fox Soccer Channel's "Fox Football Fone-In" this week. Nick & Steven's guest was none other than FC Dallas Coach Steve Morrow. So they're asking him about the season so far. "Great year, besotted with some tough injuries, but we've done really well all considering." And they're asking him about the playoff picture. "Would've loved to have sewn things up in Boston. But we had a tough night."Then he mentions something about the "Bridgestone Cup" and the Chicago Fire game. And I'm thinking to myself, is Bridgestone Tires headquartered in Chicago? (Nope, they're a Japanese conglomerate) Why are we playing for a "Bridgestone Cup"?
Well, it turns out we've been playing the Brimstone Cup for 6 years now. And every time we play the Chicago Fire, it's on the line. The Cup is on the line tomorrow night in Frisco, TX on national TV ESPN2 at 7pm. Tune in. Boo Blanco. And GO FC Dallas! GO HOOPS!
