2-0

Boones Players and Fans,

We are 2-0. Not too shabby. Another 3-2 victory. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Pup with a hat trick. He was on fire. You can thank him for this win.
2. Pup's first goal was a one man show. Pup stole the bouncy ball from their keeper as he was trying to grab it. Then pup used his left to finish it off. Boones 1 - Real Suburbia 0.
2.5. An unfortunate incident happened in the first half with one of Real Suburbia's players. During a throw in, this player about ripped his torso in half. Seriously though, he did something pretty bad. He instantly fell to the ground and did not get up for about 10 minutes until one of their players drove on the field. He was loaded in the car (with a little help from Big Dave) and taken to a hospital. Hopefully he will be o.k. Half time score Boones 1 - Real Suburbia 0.
3. Pup's next goal was awesome too. Either Dave or Mickey gave him a sweet assist. 2-0 Boones.
4. Defense screwed up a little bit to let Real Suburbia back in it. Defense was trying to play keep-away from Real Suburbia when Chad passed it outside to Brett and then Brett attempted to pass it back inside to Chad. That pass got a little out of control and landed right at the feet of their best player #11. #11 lined it up and lazered it in. Boones 2 - Real Suburbia 1.
5. That goal really gave Real Suburbia some momentum. They were putting a lot more pressure on us as the second half wore on. #11 was especially giving us some problems. Bent made some good saves and the defense made some good stops.
6. Pup got his final awesome goal. Either Dave or Mickey gave him a sweet assist. Boones 3 - Real Suburbia 1.
7. Real Suburbia continued their pressure and kept winning corner kicks. After continuing to stop them, they finally got lucky when #11 put an average header right to Bent that somehow slipped out of Bent's arms and into the goal. Boones 3 - Real Suburbia 2.
8. We got the win but we need to secure these two goal leads we are getting.
9. Dawg and Todd were missing.
10. Peer did great in his first game except for bringing the wrong jersey. We made it work though.
11. I've got to go now, I am going to drive 9 hours down to Padre and party may ace off for the rest of Spring Break. Beer Bong Me!!!

Game Three (Two)

Men of Boones,

It looks like there may be a bit of rain moving in tomorrow, but hopefully it will hold off for you. #10 Pele Julio has the cards and money for the next 4 games. I will not play the next two weeks and the two weeks after that I will be out of town for work. Hopefully that will give my hip enough time to heal properly. I'm not too optimistic after an initial meeting with an orthopedist, but you never know what will happen. MRI scheduled for 3/11, then I don't meet with him to get the readings until 4/2. His advice to me after readying an x-ray about the shape of my hips was, "you should not be playing soccer". Interesting.

Anyway, I'll try to make the game next week and coach if possible. Hope you guys are feeling well and make sure you dominate in fantasy points.

Brett White will miss again this week. He is traveling to Korea today.

Take care of business this week,

Coach Stu Dawg

P.S. I think you guys are number 1! Jacket and headband provided by Nutz courtesy of Ross.

Game Two First Half Summary

Heard you pulled out a great victory today against the rivals. Win or lose, it's always fun to play Darkhorse.

Sorry I left so pissed today. I needed to get home and flatten my leg out to put ice on it. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all those who called to check on me. I appreciate that.

A couple points from the first half.
1. I won the coin toss and elected to go against the wind. Turns out this was a good move.
2. Forwards were dominant in the first half. Brady's hard work getting to the goal paid off by a pretty poor call by the official, but we are due a few of these. Brady has been doing that for years. Consistency pays off.
3. Midfielders played very well and made a few big runs.
4. Defense was steady, but had too many O S(*^ moments in the goal. We will fix that and be just fine.
5. We had 2 hi-ya kicks by #10 Pele Julio. It was great. One the first one, I heard at least three guys yell that out.
6. No one can match our fitness level. :)
Check out the fantasy points. The link is on the right side of the page below our schedule. Remember the lowest point total for each team is automatically thrown out.

Thanks again for picking up the cards, flags and game ball.

Hopefully I will be back soon.

S2010 Game Two

Guys,

Looks like the weather may hold and turn out to be a nice day. I certainly hope so anyway. A couple notes today.

1. If you owe me money, bring cash on Sunday.
2. Game is at McInnish on the good fields in the north side of the park.
3. We play our old friends Darkhorse. Always fun playing those guys.
4. If you will not be at the game, please send me an email, text, pigeon gram, smoke signal...something.
5. Peer, we expect two very cold bottles of Boones for halftime refreshment.

Looking forward to getting the season started.

Spring 2010 Schedule Analysis

Here is my best attempt to analyze our schedule.

1. In unprecedented fashion, we have 5 games at 1900. 2 games at 1500. 2 games at 1300 and 1 game at 1700.
2. Also unprecendented, we have 5 games at McInnish Park. That is the park you drive through to get to RE Goode. I can guarantee your first response was "O Sh*t!" Not the crappy fields by the lake with no grass. We'll compadres, we are in luck. These are the super nice fields at the front of the complex next to Sandy Lake road. Hopefully they are in good shape.
3. Technically speaking, we have 8 home games with our two home fields being Five Star and RE Goode/McInnish. Perfect location for all I believe.
4. 2 games at Moss. I can almost guarantee those will be rainouts. Gotta love the city of Dallas.
5. We may only have one jersey conflict on 3/21.
6. Midas stole our orange jerseys.
7. We play our pals Darkhorse twice. First game is second game of season.
8. According to #10 Pele Julio's analysis, the best team should be Baron United. We play then twice, the first time on our first game.
9. According to #10 Pele Julio's analysis, the worst teams last season were Manchester SC and Rangers FC 03. We play each team once. Anything can happen here as we well know.
10. No games at Premier Park. Nutz appreciates that I'm sure.

Looking forward to next weekend. Hopefully the wind will dry the fields our a bit and get us ready for a great game.

If you haven't paid, I expect cash next week.
