Its been a long year for the OTWT Tailgating crew. There have been trips to Buffalo to see the Eagles, to Harrisburg for a minor league baseball game and to Washington DC to see Manchester United. Here are some of my favorite videos from our 25 events that we attended.

Freshman Isaac Kannah (Plymouth, Minn./Prairie Seeds Academy) assisted on the Huskies one and only game winning goal on Friday to put Northern Illinois University into Sunday afternoon's MAC Championship game against Western Michigan. Sophomore Gael Rivera (Oslo, Norway/WANG Elite Sports Academy) scored the goal in the 63rd minute to defeat Buffalo, 1-0, on Friday night in [.

The Oregon State women's soccer team defeated the Colorado Buffaloes 2-0 Friday night in the Pac-12 conference opener.

"We didn't know what to expect from Colorado," Beavers coach Linus Rhode said. "I thought it was a solid game. We had to deal with physical play and I think overall, we did a good job today.

University of Denver men's soccer player Nate Sackeyfio scored his first goal of the season, but the No. 20 Pioneers' upset bid fell just short, as No. 6 Indiana edged DU 2-1 at the Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament at Notre Dame's Alumni Stadium on Sunday morning.

Trailing by two goals early, the Pioneers (0-2-2) cut the deficit in half in the 41st minute.

I'm not entirely sure if this comes from the same guy who did the NFL soccer jerseys but these are pretty sweet as well. My favorites are Toronto, Dallas and Buffalo.

What do you all think?

Whoever wrote the headline to Beau Dure's latest piece, "Women's soccer seemingly has options for growth," has a sunny disposition I don't share. First, WPS owners have radically different ideas about the way forward and think this arrangement can work in the long run:

"We [owners] don't all agree all the time," Philadelphia owner David Halstead said.

Last week, I looked at what would've happened if the NFL had promotion and relegation. Today, I look at the NHL using the same rules.
Like the NFL, there's a clear point in which implementing it would've made sense. That's the 1967-68 expansion which saw the size of the league double, from the long-standing six teams to twelve.

I saw this link earlier and boy did it get passed around twitter like crazy. I finally got time this evening to talk about it and post the images from it. Someone out there had some mad photoshop skills and did some NFL team's soccer kits.

Honestly these are all great. My favorites are St. Louis, Buffalo, and Green Bay.
