OK everyone, we have our home opener this week against the defending league champions, How I Met Your Rubber. Like us, they are on a two week layoff so we should try to jump on them early while they shake off the rust.
Last season we lost to this team 7-2, and it could have been worse. At first I thought about using the old Lou Holtz motivational strategy of telling you how much you suck and playing down any chance we had in my various press interviews in the lead up to game time. I couldn't find any video of these though, just some old newspaper clippings.
Instead, I've opted to include this speech from good ol' Herb Brooks who led the 1980 U.S. Hockey team to their monumental upset over the USSR. Please watch and change and mention of the word hockey with kickball; any mention of the word skate with run; also, do not take the phrase "screw 'em" literally.
The main point here is that even if they are the champions, if we step our game up we can score a major upset and secure a key win in our playoff push.
Go Blue!
Coach Nate
