Yes, McLean is having a town hall tonight. But FVU isn’t. It’s not even a message of “just trust us”. It’s absolute silence.


Be patient. Announcements are coming out tomorrow.
Yep, something big tomorrow.

True. What do you think that means? Im interested in the girls side.


Not sure what it means - best guess is that no one is showing leadership and taking charge at FVU or there are too many cooks in the kitchen. You’d think that FVU would be trying to jump on NVA players like Arlington is.


well for one, and I know it's not a huge source of current fvu but that bryc pipeline may evivarate overnight

I would hope they are reaching out behind the scenes. NVA teams have some very skilled individual players. They never seem to be able to pull it all together as a team but overall this would make ECNL teams stronger.

FVU may not have a badge. That’s why.
They are looking for a filler club.

5th group down. Does this suggest a lack of depth to play 11v11? Not throwing shade here, just curious.
