After I graduate college in 2012, my father and I have planned for a while now to head across the Atlantic and explore Europe for a month or so. It will be the first time any of us have gone there. Since we are German, a couple weeks will be dedicated to visiting Hessheim, outside of Frankfurt, where our family has its roots.

Aside from this, it would be amazing to attend Eurocup 2012 which is taking place in Poland and the Ukraine. Was just wondering if anyone has taken part in spectating a huge scale sporting event such as this? What can you do to ensure your safety? I'm particularly worried about time in the Ukraine. How to acquire tickets? Cheapest place to dine and sleep? On a side note, by this time I'll be almost fluent in German and I have blond hair and blue eyes. I don't think either of us would stand out as a foreigner.

Thank you, go Bayern Munchen!

I was in Germany for the 2006 World Cup. Its an experience you won't forget.

In Poland, as long as you don't have a car to be stolen, you're good. I never made it to the Ukraine so I can't help. But take the standard steps you would take anywhere there is a massive influx of tourists: watch for pickpockets mostly, avoid unlit areas at night, learn the public transportation systems, use only licensed taxis, don't leave your drinks unattended, don't flash money, etc

You don't have to worry so much about looking like a tourist in Germany. That town is near Mannheim, where everyone is either American or involved with the US military.

Ukraine is alright. As long as you don't start anything with anybody you will be fine. There will be millions of tourists during euro cup so you don't have to worry much. Do not cary your wallet in your back packet (will be stolen by gypsies 100% guaranteed). Avoid any games and lotteries they might be offering you, it's a scam. Try their national vodka (called horilka).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      By Luciu5 · Posted

      I think these reps Bryce is getting in garbage time are supposed to be somethign of a PROVE IT moment for him, except he keeps proving he is incapable of moving the ball. Bryce has shown repeatedly that with him under center, this team simply cannot score points at all. Andy can. 2 of the last 4 losses were winnable games with Andy in. I cannot remember the last time we had a winnable game with Bryce on the field.

      Trade everyone and fully rebuild..

      I'm not saying Chubba want to resign here. To be honest I don't know why anyone would ever come to Carolina unless it was for a boat load of money and that person had no interest in winning. As for keeping Hubbard, I don't see a problems with it if the deal is reasonable pricewise. We have a 2nd round back coming off an ACL tear. We have no ide how he is going to play upon his return. These days you pretty much have to have 2 backs to ease the RB workload. The days of the 25-30 carry per game are long gone. Brooks contract is pretty cheap. If Hubbard came back around 4-5 million for 3 seasons that wouldn't break us.  And, if you did trade him at the deadline, what are you expecting in return? Most likely a 4th. Is that really going yo move the needle? Nope.  If a player want to be moved this season and you can get a good return, that's one thing. But the idea of trading "all expiring contracts today" is unreasonable. We don't have anyone on this roster who is going to fetch more than a 3rd/4th round pick. I don't see a player on our roster who is going to put another team over the hump. Furthermore, it's not like we have a FO with a good track record nailing their draft picks. If they did we wouldn't be in the current predicament.
