Friday Dec 10

Well its been 24 hours and the sky didn't fall. After 9 games the Hoyas probably deserve to have one loss. They had no business beating ODU and they did everything possible to give away the Missouri game. The bummer about losing a close game is that at some point a game or two will get away from you. It makes those close loses that much more painful to swallow. When you get hammered, you just take it as a loss. When you can look back to one or two plays that went wrong, it sucks even more if that makes sense.

3 treated the first half like an open tryout with some of the weirdest lineups I've seen all season. That's cool for later in the season but it sucked yesterday. They never really got in sync but it still took some crazy circumstances to beat them. At the end of the day they had the ball with a chance to take the lead on the last possession. That's all you can really ask for - a chance.

I bet if they are in the same situation again, 3 will call a timeout. I understand that if you call timeout you give the defense a chance to set up but I think it's obvious that they need to talk about how they can get the ball to either Austin or Jason. Hollis isn't the guy that needs to be shooting that last shot. Ok I'm over it

So my neighbor across the street keeps making me pumpkin bread. I think these are advance payments for me shoveling her out in a few weeks when the blizzards start again.

I played two games tonight and I'm not really in good enough shape to do that. The men's league game was pretty fun. I don't play men's league that often - usually it's co-ed. I'd like to get in a full time men's league. It would make me better.

I had a to play a bunch of goalie in the co-ed game tonight. I thought I played well in the first half. The 2nd half - not so much. I probably don't do as well as I should in cutting down angles on shots. Oh well. The good news is that my shoulder doesn't really restrict me from making saves anymore. I can notice a difference from a few months ago. So there's that.

So there's a tournament tomorrow at Cardazo High School in DC. I should probaby go to bed soon. The first game isn't until 1030 but I bet that comes quicker than you think. I really hope it's a little bit warmer tomorrow than it has been recently. The older I get the more the cold gets to me. I'd really like to avoid playing keeper tomorrow but I will play here and there if I have to. I just won't be super excited about it.

OMG is it Sunday yet? I need to get that bad taste out of my mouth. I want to see what Moses can add to the squad.

Peace brah
