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.

Happy hour at Champp's

Thanks for the pic Mucio. All the guys minus Brian "Nutz" White who made it to HH.

Officially Registered

Guys,

We are officially registered. I requested division 30E and home field for RE Goode and The Colony. Chances are most of our home games will be at The Colony.

Team Boone's also added another play to our permanent roster. Mark Peer went to college at UNT and is a Kappa Sig like many of us on the team. He played for a few years with Pup, Tutt and Brownie on the Silver Bullets. Mark has been on our list of perspective players for a couple years now. He will be a great addition to our defense. Please welcome Peer to our team as only Boones can.

Mark - your initiation fee will be two very cold and iced down bottles of Boones Farm, one of which should be Snow Creek Berry. The other is your choice my Brother.

As I mentioned before, we are targeting our one and only practice for 2/13 at 8:30AM. Please check the blog for futher updates.

Boones Happy Hour and Beyond

Thanks to all the guys who came out last night:

Pup, Dawg, Chad, Davey, Franchise, Brett, Brian “Nutz” White, Clay, Mickey, Georgie, Mucio, and Bent.

I especially appreciate everyone bringing their money. We have just enough to cover registration on Sunday.

A few thoughts/topics we discussed.

1. Home field. We decided the top two fields would be The Colony and RE Goode.
2. Stu Brown and Brownie are out this season. I will be picking up one guy to replace them.
3. End of season – we can either play in the tournament like last year or use the same tournament weekend to go camping/kayaking. Pup will send a link to the canoe site to get an idea of what a multi-day trip would be like.
4. Dave and I are buying the team new socks. Orange socks to be specific. Dave will send a link so you can see how pretty they are.
5. Mucio – send me the pictures so we can get them on the blog. Thanks for bringing the camera.
6. I vote that we nickname Brian White “Nutz”. Reasons are obvious.
7. To make this a bit more competitive, Bent, Chad, Davey and a couple other guys were throwing around a few ideas for “grading” each position. For instance, the forwards must score 25 goals this season. If they fail, they must buy a case of boones for example. We still need to work out how to grade each position and what the punishment should be for failing. Send your ideas to the team for consideration.
8. We need a fight song.

Practice will be scheduled, weather permitting, the day I pick up the schedules, February 13th. Make plans accordingly. This will be an early practice, think 8:30.

Season starts on 2/21/10. I will request our games start after 1:00.

For those that didn’t pay, please send me your checks soon.

Countdown timer

Not sure if this will work for everyone, but I added a countdown timer to our first game. It's located in the footer.

Please send me your checks this week.

See you at happy hour.
