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.

      Yeah and finding an equivalent LT in free agency would cost a LOT of money. It's going to be a lot easier to find the Chuba's and Johnson's than another capable LT. I get the historic anger at Ikey(largely from last season) but that OL group is the last thing I would start dropping bombs on(this includes moving Moton) if we have any desire to add a rookie QB in the next few seasons.

      You’re telling me if someone were to offer you a first round draft pick for Iky who’s better off playing guard than left tackle you wouldn’t take it?  I worked with a few of his post players and they both agreed he was a better NFL guard than left tackle that’s straight from their teammates mouth in college.   also, you mentioned a few post earlier the team is super injured and that’s why they’re playing bad. Remember the first two games where we got absolutely annihilated with our starters? I’m telling you from someone that’s built a business and rebuilt teams. It’s a culture. The culture is horrible.  Now that starts with Tepper but you still need talent even the starters weren’t playing well.    The point of the thread was to see what draft picks we can get for certain players not talking about people that are in their mid 50s an adolescent. You’re telling me national respected radio host on Sportsradio stations that share the same opinion the opinion that I actually got from them are adolescent temper tantrums?

      The only players they should invest in is the ones the team drafts. Chubba should not be extended here. Johnson should not be given a contract hers. Only players from the last draft are eligible and that is a few years down the road. It's cap clearing time and it's going to be painful. They invested in the OL already so that's put of the way.  Just add draft picks and no more FA'S beyond a 1 year contract to full a hole. Draft your future roster and give out extensions if they prove t9 be part of the future. If not a cornerstone player you trade them or let them walk. Rinse and repeat until you have a playoff contending roster.
