Well as long as they sit back and read just like you and don't contribute, it
looks like it's my verAji with just a few.  Soooo, please say something guys.
Come on, amoo!  What are you guys watching these nights at ghahveh-khooneh? 
It's football time - yes football not soccer, OK?

hAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  This is a neat idea, in fact a very genuine idea shahram.
Imagine a friendship game between ahAli of State of Washington and those of
Californa.  I am all for it.

I have to admit though that the logistics of it is not straightforward, at
least to me at this time.  Let's see . . .  Mack jan, what do you think?
Can we put a trip plan together and pull it up?  I can find out from 
mostafa and the rest of the football guys how they feel about this event.
I guess we ought to think about it, as you mentioned.  The idea is noble
enough to warrant a serious consideration.

Now, as a first question at least in my mind, do you know anything about
Medford and its availability of a football field, shahram?  I know Oregon
is full of football fields, but can we secure (reserve) a field in advance?
Obviously the trip for us is shorter (4 hours) if I correctly remember my
last trip to Crater Lake.

Let's continue brainstorming.  Why don't you find out what you and your team
can do, and I let you know about our side.  Wow!  It will be the first 
inter-state sci-initiated sport event that I can remember.  'ageh besheh,
chi misheh!'

I am not sure but I think I read it was going to be on Friday 26th.  Please
check with rec.sport.soccer.
