My Cup Runneth Over

Evidently, Billikens are just like potato chips; you just can't have one. United acquire M DiRaimondo in waiver draft

D.C. United on Friday acquired midfielder John DiRaimondo via the waiver draft.

DiRaimondo spent the last two seasons with the Colorado Rapids before being released on Wednesday. He made his MLS debut with Colorado in March 2008 after being drafted the previous year and appeared in a total of 11 games with the Rapids, scoring one goal.

A native of St. Louis, DiRaimondo spent his collegiate career at the University of St. Louis, where he was named to the NSCAA All-American third team and was a Hermann Trophy finalist as both a junior and senior.

I wonder what this "University of St. Louis" is, and if it is related to St. Louis University.

Actually, I think this is a decent pick-up by DC. I can certainly view him as an improvement over Dyachenko.
