Was hoping there'd be some progress in the MP/Bridge relationship - but sounds like the Hatfield/McCoy deal. The BFA/SSC issue probably has the MPSC peeps saying "I told you so." Deals either don't happen or fall apart when expectations are mis-aligned or not met. What BFA and SSC expected going into this alliance is probably at the core of the current discussion. The carpenters rule is "Measure twice - cut once." Sounds like these alliance partners/potential partners are still not aligned,still measuring, or figuring out a way to cut and run. It would benefit youth soccer in the lowcountry if each party would commit to get together at least once a year, and at least talk. That would require checking egos at the door in favor of doing the right thing - which may be simply to agree to disagree. Cole
