This weekend is Cooler Classic! If you don't know what it is, where have you been? So I'll be in Milwauke this weekend with Haymaker to take on teams like Machine, Sack Lunch, Madison, the Van Buren Boys, etc. If you don't know what Cooler Classic is, then you don't know who those teams are either, but they're teams I'm excited to play against. My legs feel alot better after having to be carried off the field at the summer league tournament due to cramping, and I can ALMOST make a fist with my right hand again, so I'm excited to get back to playing hard.
Our first game of the weekend is against Machine, a group of douchebags from the greater chicago area who have no respect for the game or for their opponents. Ok, so actually I happen to have friends and roommates on the team, but that doesn't change the fact that tommorow at 9am I want them all dead. Until the game is over, then we'll probably hang out and drink later that night. Regardless, it's our first game of the season against our "older brother" team and win or lose, I want to give them a HELL of a game. Can we beat them? It'll take us putting in everything we got, and probably a little help from lady luck and lady them-fucking-up, but it's gonna damned fun to try.
The rest of the weekend is against teams that we realistically have a chance to be better than come the end of the season (with the possible exception of the VB boys, haven't seen them enough yet). And I'm really excited to see how the team comes together this weekend too. Motown was dissapointing in the results, but the potential was THERE. The next step will come, hopefully soon, and the results will show themselves when we do. I love the progress the young guys have made, and it's fun to see how much better than me some of these kids are gonna be when they're my age. (I know, I'm not old, but it was a birthday today, and I feel old.)* Above all we seem to have a good group of guys, and I love hanging out with all of them. In my mind that's huge, it's gonna make people play together better, and want to go out and work at practice and outside of practice more.
Recap to come on monday, have a great weekend everybody!

Sucks. I would LOVE to see both the games against Machine and Sack Lunch on Saturday. Good luck. I'm sure I'll see you at some point during the weekend.
