AUDub 11,113 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Had the SLR for Sadie's competitive debut. Lost two won one, but she played well and the coach wants her to pull double duty next spring. Edited October 22, 2017 by Bigbens42 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Keeper, eh? They're a special breed. Tougher than I'll ever be, that's for sure. We went to the Atlanta United match last night. Got good seats. Like, REALLY good seats. When Martinez walked through the "tunnel" (it's a roped-off walkway through the club where we had tickets) it was probably about as close as the MLS gets to the Beatles' first US tour- screaming girls and the whole bit. But that dude took a picture with every single person who asked. He must've stuck around for 30 minutes after the match. Just one of the coolest and most fun-to-watch athletes I've ever had the pleasure of rooting for. What a season. So lucky to have been here for it. Auburn 2010 is the only other season that's been anything like this for me. Now on to the playoffs. Side note: Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore (Toronto) got booed like hell every time they touched the ball. It was funny and cathartic at first, but by the end of the match it felt a little bit dark and evil. I've never seen anything like it. Could you imagine Americans booing Michael Phelps or Lindsay Vaughn? I mean, obviously the USMNT has never actually won anything like those athletes have, but still, it's our national team. Just surreal and a little sad. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rough and tumble position. It's where I played through HS and my few seasons in the adult rec leagues. Being a good size football player helped. She gets hit a lot and handles it very well. She was playing this tournament up with the 2006 B-team, kids 1-2 grades older than her, because they simply can't find a keeper. She's starts every game for the 07s at keeper now, and will be called up to the 06s a bunch this coming spring. And I thought my schedule sucked now. Practically all of her keeper coaching has come from me. For some reason, they do not focus on it in the academy. It's nice to see it bearing fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still just furious with US Soccer in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 A very lucky little bass. Was able to remove the hook with no damage to his eye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 My grandfather, (not as polite to fish as is Mr. Brain) claimed (I was not a witness) to have found a full (as in alive) turtle within a bass he was cleaning. He said it was a cute little thing, showing stomach-acid bleaching around its shell rim. Further said it looked back over its shoulder, with a readable thankful glance, as it walked out the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
