Team Bonding?

As you know by now, we didn't get that W in our first game of the season. But the team morale is high, although the team itself, is dwindling. Taylor pulled his groin in the game and will miss some time and on top of that, we had another player quit. Wolfgang Gieler decided that'd he'd be better off on a team where he got more PT.  I can understand his internal battle of wanting to play and wanting to help out the team, but I guess the timing was just bad. At this point, it's like a cheating girlfriend or something. You know the "how could you do that to us feeling?" But then eventually you get over it.

That's definitely not the reason we lost, but it didn't help our concentration. Along with Brandon Thomas, who is now on Braunschweig, I wish them the best, but come on guys, we climbed in the mountains together...you don't get that team bonding everywhere. Speaking of mountain climbing...look what I found...


I'll be on my couch watching NFL football for the rest of the day...Jay Cutler has a bye so I need Trent Edwards to hold down the fort. I also need the Giants to run up the score on Oakland, seeing how I hate everything about California (except you Erika).

Inside this crazy mind,
Somehow I thought that you would always be around

Let's Get Caught Up

Every so often it'll happen where I have a lot of things going on in my head and I wont' want to dedicate an entire blog to each particular issue. Therefore my blog will start to bounce all over the place like our PG Chester Fraziers blog, where apparently anything goes.

Okay so first off, the blog about our team bonding roadtrip is on the way...I'm waiting to see if I can upload videos straight to the blog or if I have to upload them to youtube first.

Secondly, I want to shout out my JETS, being a Yankees fan as well I've been on both sides of the "everyone wants you to beat those guys" fence. I am not sure what side is better, but I enjoyed the hell out of that game. The Jets haven't given up a touchdown all season (although we're only two games in) we've already played against two of the best receivers and one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

Staying on the football note, I need to make some major changes in my fantasy football league. Maurice Jones-Drew, aka the savior of my team, has yet to show up in two weeks, and the determined Jay Cutler has not been at the level I expected him to be. It also didn't help benching Cedric Benson and Willis McGahee while playing Brandon Jacobs and Kevin Smith. Trades are pending as I type this...

Back to basketball, we had an intense game against a rival of ours last night here in Gottingen and ended up pulling out the W. Once the highlights are available to post, I'll elaborate a little, but basically, we're on the right path to be where we need to be come Oct 9th.

In the most impressive news of the day...both my girlfriend Holly and her friends Meggie and Liz-O completed their half marathon ahead of the goals they set. I know I got a little crazy with Sunday's blog, but I definitely am very proud of all three of them. I worked an NYU cross country meet and I swear, the last leg of those races are the biggest test of will out there. More than match point at Wimbledon or the 18th hole at the Masters. Shoutouts to Team Smith
