Spring has arrived: Tuesday Timbers Tidbits

Monday training camp started at PGE Park. Today the soon to be semi-regular Tuesday Timbers Tidbits starts. And now on with the show:

• The Nerd is the Word reminds us to mark the calendar for Saturday, March 29th: Timbers Season Kickoff Party
• A good new Timbers Blog: Nasty Challenge
• My fellow Jesuit alumnus Chris Brown may be the answer to the Timbers’ lackluster offense. And both local rags love the local angle:
  • Tribune: Brown’s new job: Attack the nets:
    Timbers sign ex-Pilot to give them more offensive firepower
  • The O: Brown is home again; now his goal is a title
• Bob is back . . . writing about the Timbers at The Offside
• And another great local soccer blog, a pretty move, points out that The Guardian has named The Offside one of the world’s 50 most powerful blogs.
