This is only my second post so I hope if you, the audience, doesn't mind if I share something a
little more personal than what we usually see on Hot Time In Old Town. I have been in and around
Section 8 on gamedays for at least seven years now, but I've always been the seen-not-heard type. I
would like everyone reading this to get to know me a little better so as I begin my 25th year in
this world today I would like to reflect back upon my Section 8 origin story, the wonderful
experience of this past season, give my thanks to the Section and give words of encouragement to
those who want to join in with this wonderful madness.
With 2012 marking the beginning of the USA's FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign and the players
here hoping to make a big impression, we decided to look back at the January camp roster from this
time in the previous two cycles to see if there is any forecasting to be done on how many players
will actually reach the World Cup.
