Hey Army,

Things suck right now. There’s no need to sugar coat it. The Hounds are going through another terrible start to the season, and we just got international attention for all the wrong reasons. Let’s throw in crappy weather while we’re at it. Moral is understandably low. In these bad times let’s not forget we’re supporters. We love this team in good times and in bad. We love this team even when we’re critical of them. We love this team because it’s our team. This is Pittsburgh soccer, and if there’s one thing Pittsburghers are good at, it’s being stubborn and not quitting.

At this point we’re about 1/4 of the way through the season. I think it’s time to circle the wagons a bit and rally. Let’s focus our passion on something a little positive. We’re calling for a Blackout of the Paul Child Stand for the two games this week. Let’s show our solidarity with each other and to the team. Color coordinated shirts isn’t exactly earth shattering, but sometimes the little things make all the difference. If we’re lucky we’ll be feeling a lot better next Monday.
