We Need Your Help!

So the Foul Up in Baltimore is nearly upon us, and The UF email threads have been red hot with discussions of a banner. We were thinking of making one to tell the world that we exist. Being Chelsea v. Milan, we decided to scrap a generic slogan and make one relevant to the game itself, and after much debate, we just can't decide. So we want you to.

The Unprofessional Foul-Up: Less than Two Weeks!

Yes, we are very excited about our first ever UF roadtrip! We are packing up next week to head to Baltimore, Maryland, for Chelski versus AC Meelan, a trip that we have dubbed The Unprofessional Foul-Up. Find out more about our merry adventure after the hop, where we also need your help with local Baltimore pubs.

Most of us writers will be there, along with a devoted yet ragtag group of commenters (you know who you are). For those who are wondering, the plan is to arrive before the game for some tailgating. Next week I'll announce our ETA and exact location once we know when/where they'll be letting people in. Then, it's on to section 134 of the M&T Stadium in the AC Milan "fan zone," where 30-odd of us will enjoy a competitive competent match. And perhaps even Oguchi Onyewu's debut in red and black?

After the match, we are planning to retire to a local drinking establishment. Which is where we need your help. So far the suggestions have been the Wharf Rat and the Downtown Sports Exchange/Balls (wish I were making up that name). What do you folks think? We'd prefer to stay close to the stadium so that we can walk/stagger.

More soon. And we'll even try to do some live twittering and picture-taking from the game.
