It’s been nearly a week now, and highly anticipated results* of the readership poll have been thoroughly analyzed by our team of statisticians**.

Artists rendering of trained statisticians

The questions, in the likelihood that you haven’t been paying attention, were as follows:

1) On average, how often do you visit the site on a weekly basis?

2) Have you been cleverly enticed into attending a match after visiting the site?

3) How many matches have you attended so far this season?

On question 1, 50% the respondents answered “once a week” and 50% answered “twice a week”.  One added that they “love reading our comments and stories after the game.”  That makes two of us!!

On question 2, 100% responded “No” the (unsolicited) explanation being that they “were going to attend the matches anyway”.  So much for the bottom tier of my pyramid scheme***.

On question 3, half of the respondents answered “all home games, some away games”; the other half responded “all home games, all away games, except Buffalo, because nobody in their right mind willingly goes to Buffalo”.  Interesting….VERY interesting.

Thank you to the two people who responded to the poll.

Oh yes, and the Stoners defeated the electrifying Morris County Colonials 3-2.  Read about it here!

Because I can’t figure out how to conduct a poll using WordPress, I’m asking for the following input from our readership:

1) On average, how often do you visit the site on a weekly basis?

2) Have you been cleverly enticed into attending a match after visiting the site?

3) How many matches have you attended so far this season?

I’m sure I could do a better job asking poll questions, but I DID NOT pay attention in my college statistics class either time.  GO BUCKEYES!

It hasn’t happened many times throughout history, and in fact it’s probably never happened.  So really, the Stoners have made some sort of history by winning a battle with no army.

Penn’s Army did not make the trip to Buffalo.  How can this be?  Many reasons, none of them very good, all orbiting blissfully around the fact that it’s a 6-hour ride and it’s Buffalo.

The last time I was in Buffalo it was 1991.  It was 1am, I was driving back from Toronto, and I stopped at an IHop outside of town.  I had $3.  So I ordered a cup of coffee, which I never do, mostly because it makes me nuts.

Welcome to Buffalo

The longer I sat in that orange Formica booth, the more I noticed that, not unlike the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tattooine, the Buffalo IHop was a magnet for all sorts of strange characters,  cast-out to the fringes of our Union.  People with oddly-shaped heads and too much neck hair.  (more…)

…and hopefully the Stoners have, because this Sunday May 18th, they kick off their inaugural season in NPSL against Maryland United. (more…)

Stopped in at the Iron Lakes Sports Club “dome” last night to meet up with Bob Ehrlich, discuss the upcoming season and just chat. If you haven’t been there, this is a great facility located north of Allentown in the rolling hills of Lehigh County. I scoped out the situation and immediately spotted the refreshment stand. Hot dog: $1.50. CRUD, I only had a buck. Microwaved Superpretzel it was, then. A little yellow mustard rescued that situation. (more…)

Were you one of those popular kids in school? Then skip to the last paragraph. If not, read on… (more…)

Clearly intimidated by the sheer brilliance of our little blog, the Stoners unveiled their new and improved website a week or two back. (more…)

Check out the mock-up for our new crest/logo/shield. Pretty sweet, and I’m not just saying that because I designed it. Oh wait maybe I am. Anyhoo, keep in mind its just a draft and subject to radical changes — DS
