Hey guys,
First I want to say congratulations on our first win. It was quite a slaughter and if we weren’t trying new things just to see what would happen that score would have easily been 35-0. With that being said…we struggled in numbers this past weekend and though some of you had good reasons, we would like to get at least more than half of our team at the games. Especially games we consider to be must wins. We did not however, struggle on the field. We moved the ball extremely well. More than doubled our total season TD’s. And had no problem marching up and down the field. Our defense did struggle in the first game…but its hard to blame it when we had 4 people out of our normal 8 for D. I’m seeing good things. And it makes me happy.
“Sometimes the most important thing is just showing up”
This week—
I know its really hard for guys to get out during the week because of jobs, softball, ping pong, or whatever else we all have going on. Eric is on 3 softball teams. I play backyard softball with guys from work and I know several other guys are on soccer teams and softball teams. That’s perfectly fine with us. But it makes our practices during the week diminish a little bit. So we are not going to host a practice during the week this week. However, this Saturday practice will be huge. We have a couple spots on our offense and defense that are shaky and we have many heads out there that can fill these spots. Problem is we fill them and then people don’t show up. So what we are going to do is make decisions on Saturdays. And consider every spot open when we make these decisions. This way we don’t have instances like this past week where we are counting on people who don’t show up and being forced to put people in situations they have not practiced. This will hopefully prevent that. Don’t think of this as a negative thing. Think of this as covering all angles because when its all said and done we have to play with the 8 that we have on any given Sunday.
Another thing we are going to prevent. That is people going MIA at practice Saturday and not going to the games. When they aren’t out of town. So Saturday after practice we are inviting each and every one to come hang out with us. It certainly won’t be like the last party we had 🙂 The purpose is to get you guys together and we can hang out, party a LITTLE…and not get outta control so we can play Sunday. Also, we can talk football and get everybody up to speed about what’s going on. Throw some food on the grill and have a good time. Cause in the end that’s what this team is all about. We have a win to get this Sunday against a team who hasn’t won a game yet. we’ll go into our long break with two wins. Get a win when we come back and have at least a solid streak going into the tournament. But like I said I want everyone to come hang out and have a chill time. I can spring for some pizza or we can grill and we can get ready for our game.
I need 3 things from you guys… I need to know who is going to be at practice this Saturday, I want to know who is going to chill with us afterwards, and I need to know who is going to be at the game this Sunday. Please respond either way. We have 21 guys on this team so I need to know where 21 people are going to be. I’ll start by saying Eric and I will be at all 3.
Thanks guys and hope all is well
