Sadly our soccer OT track record hasn’t been good lately in the postseason.

Chulis was in my class. First semester first year I had a class with him, I think it was Italian in translation, but can’t remember for sure.

He came in with 2 other heralded guys. I just looked them up and man…Ben Olsen got into coaching too, but CTE caused Scott Vermillion to take a wrong turn in life somewhere. RIP.

I remember Ben Olsen by name. I think he was player of the year winner in college. Chullis is a great dude. Deserves to be the head coach somewhere

Edit: anothe hoo great, Alecko Escandarian, had a career ending head injury as well. Tough story but he is doing great now. Got to be friends with him a few years ago. Great great dude that loves some soccer

Is it bad that I remember Alecko mainly for getting set up on a date with Kim Kardashian on her show?
