Fall 2009 Schedule Posted - Updated Lineup

For those that made it, thanks for being at practice today. If you are curious, here are the PTP'rs (Dave, Stu B., Mucio, Bent, Brett, Stu Dawg, Franchise, Brady, Georgie).

Schedule is posted on the right side of the screen as it was next year. Here is my quick synopsis while #10 Pele Julio is out of town.

1. Game sites - we play 5 games in Grapevine, 2 at Breckinridge, 2 at The Colony and 1 at Moss. Not too bad of a schedule. The Breckinridge and Moss fields are absolutely terrible. Be ready for that.
2. Game times - 8 games at 3:00, 1 game at 5:00 and 1 game at 7:00.
3. Division Breakdown: we have 8 teams in our division. We play 3 teams twice (Maccabi, MUFC and Manchester SC.

Manchester SC was in 30F last season and went 3-3-2. They finished in 3rd place in a 8 team division. They scored 12 total goals in 8 games. One of their games they scored 4 goals against a 3-5 team. They had 5 games scoring 1 goal.

Maccabi Dallas was in 30F last season and went 3-5 for a 6th place finish. They scored 13 goals in 8 games. Half of their games they scored 1 or 0 goals. Two of their wins came against the last place team.

Real Suburbia 07 was in 30F last season and went 3-3-2. They finished in 4th place (or tie for 3rd really). They had 14 goals, 6 of which came against 1 team (Manchester SC).

Metro United was in 30F last season and went 3-4-1 and finished in 5th place. They scored 15 goals last season, 8 of which came in one game versus the last place team. They also lost 3-0 to the same last place team. Weird!

Royals FC was in 30G last season, went 5-0-3 and won their division by 1 point. Two other teams had 17 points. They were in a six team division. They scored 25 goals. Two games accounted for 14 goals (6,8) against the bottom teams in the division. Good overall offensive output.

Dragon 20 was in 30G last season and went 5-1-2. They were tied for 2nd in their division and their only loss came to Royals FC. They scored 26 goals. 15 of which came against the 2 worst teams in the division (8,7). Still a ton of goals. Their only loss was to Royals FC.

Not sure what division MUFC played in last season.

Last note...please make sure you are at the game next week. Chad, myself, Brownie and Mucio are definitely missing. Stu Brown and Bent will be struggling to get back from Galveston.

Here is the proposed lineup. Subs in ()

Forwards = Pup, Dave, (Brady)
Mid = Brian White(Clay), Stu Brown, Todd(Georgie), Franchise
Backs = Julio, Tutt, Mickey, Brett (Fullbacks will share one sub Preston)
Keep = Bent

Good luck guys. I wish I could be there, but Punta Mita with the Family is calling my name.

Barclays Fantasy Soccer

Men of Boones - This is a very exciting time of year: NTPSA fall season starts in a few weeks, the NFL pre-season has started, fantasy football drafts are approaching, the US National team plays Mexico in a World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday, and the Barclays English Premier League starts this weekend. When I got the Fox Soccer Channel a few years ago I started watching some Premier League matches. Awesome soccer but I didn't know any of the players. I played Fantasy soccer last season and it was very helpful in learning more about the teams and players. Like everything I do, I was pretty freakin awesome last season. So I challenge the rest of you to join me this season. I have created a private league where we can all compete against each other. It is free of charge and does not require much time. See message from below.

Hi, Frank Oliver has invited you to play in the Fantasy Premier League called Boones United. If you aren't already playing the game then you can register at http://fantasy.premierleague.com Once you have logged in and entered your team, click on the 'Leagues' link you can find on the right of the page. Now enter the code 131666-98853 to join the private league. Enjoy the game.

We are registered.

We are officially registered.  I asked for the 30F division, but that is not guaranteed.

Thanks again for sending in your payments.  See you at practice on 8/8 @ 8:30.
