My picks are:
D1:
Solar over Tejanos
Texans over Real Madrid
Andromeda vs Solar Red - very good game will be tough decision but I see andromeda on top
TFC over Revolution
Pumas over Tigres - once again will be a good match
D2 - Following teams will take first game based on last year's results and not knowing changes they have made this year
Kicks
Club Classic
TFC
Liverpool
Hurst
LET THE GAMES BEGIN! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

Why did you stop at D2? Let's get some D3 predictions as well!
D1
Solar
Texans
Andromeda
TFC-R
Tigres

D2
Kicks
CCO
TFC
LFC V DTR - Tie
Hurst

D3
Andro White
FWFC
FMF
Mustangs
Azzurri

Let the games begin!

FWFC beat Andro white in the Dr. Pepper Play Tournament 5-1. I think one and two should be swapped.

I wasn't ranking...I was picking winners for week 1...but considering that info maybe I should have picked LH!

I'm probably speaking (or typing) out of turn here (meaning this is just from memory), but I think Andro White won its challenge games to get into Classic. Andro Navy inherited Andro Red's bye. I think Andro Navy is a few Andro Red bb's, largely an existing Andro Navy team, a few new kids, and they are still looking. So, technically Andro Navy starts off as the higher seed (because they inherited Andro Red's spot), but most would agree Andro White is the better squad.

Anybody else have any other input?

I think White is better than Navy. White beat Navy in the Fair Play tourney and FWFC beat them both.

Whether White is better than Navy remains to be seen this year. Because they are both from the same club, they can promote or demote any players of their choosing. From last year's performance, White is a better team.

okay....sounds like some big club propaganda to me

I know the clubs with multiple teams can move players, but........really.......can we just admit that it's the exception. Most often those big clubs get better by getting other teams' better players. And yes, sometimes that means getting them from one of its own directional teams but that's not really promoting and demoting...that's more of a forced lateral move.

Ok - I'll take a shot at reviving this thread! Here are my picks for the first week of league play:

D1			Comments
Solar	vs	Tejanos	Solar by a bunch
Texans	vs	Real Madrid	Texans in a closer game than you would think
Andro	vs	Solar Red	Solar Red is looking strong, best match up of the week!
TFC Royal	vs	Rev Premier	TFC-R but not by much
Tigres	vs	Pumas	Tigres are looking very good, another great game!

D2			Comments
FCD Blue	vs	Kicks	Toss up game, Kicks because Blue struggles to score
CCO	vs	Longhorns	CCO struggled in Plano Labor Day, should play better here
TFC	vs	ASG Gold North	TFC should win handily
Liverpool	vs	Texans Red	Given these are the 2 teams with the most draws last year, I think a tie - D2 game of the week
HUFC	vs	OCU	HUFC should win

D3			Comments
LHU	vs	Andro White	Andro White looks good
ASG Gold West	vs	FWFC	FWFC has been very competitive against the top teams
Andro Navy	vs	FM Force	FM Force too big and physical for Navy
AYSES Gold	vs	Mustangs	TLSC AYSES Gold
Tyler Azzurri	vs	TX Blitz	Azzurri should be able to win

Looks like all Classic League games at Pizza Hut Park are cancelled for Saturday.

Where do you see that? On the CCSAI website, all I see is a notice that they will let us know by 6:30 Sat. morning.

The earlier update on the CCSAI website at 1:24 on 09/11/09 showed PHP closed.
I saved a copy of the screen shot, but cannot get it to paste here...
Hopefully, not too many saw it and broadcast to ther parent...

classic league website is listing Pizza Hut park fields closed for tomorrow. It did list Richland College open but now they have changed it to pending to be announced no later than 6:30 AM. I hope they announce it tonight so we can tomorrow morning, I hate 8 AM games.
