Wow, props to UIC! I didn't know they had a soccer team (and I do pay casual attention to college soccer rankings [having attended a "soccer school"]). Good for them. I wonder if UIC is the place the Fire wants to look for a coach. Kudos to the Flames, but they aren't exactly a collegiate powerhouse despite an admirable season. I would imagine the Fire will look broadly, elsewhere.

Fire should look to Flames coach John Trask. He took a merely decent team all the way to the NCAA quarterfinals this year. He has loads of MSL experience, and he's in a contract year and wants to stay in Chicago. Even John Barnes has given him props-not that anyone here knows who that is. http://uicflames.cstv.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/trask_john00.html
