This past week in the locker room was better than previous weeks. With the absence of radio, IPods and cell phones are all the rave. Even the coaching staff is getting in on the new fad. If it isn’t Coach O’Toole’s phone going off with the oh so pleasant, and everyone’s favorite Sir Mix-A-Lot, then it’s Coach Moser’s phone blaring some classic rock song played by some rockin’ big hair band from the 80’s.
One more fad that seems interesting to me is skater shoes. I don’t think I’ve ever skated, and not that I have anything against Tony Hawk, but have you noticed the new style of shoe our football team sports now? If you haven’t then you should definitely look down once in a while, or bend down as Nick does every day, and take a gander at Ray, Poe, Neo, Sammy, Mike, Oliver, Mitch, and the whole rest of the team. I’m thinking that I don’t feel cool enough in the field house right now…I’ll probably pick up a pair next week. Perhaps they may be the next coaching shoe in line for next year.
In other news, Nick ran the tour of Midway at 0900 in the morning last week. After all the dramatics, Nick took a few days of rest and got so excited to come back with his brothers that he forgot his pads for the Oakdale game. His excuse: and I quote, “I thought for myself….”
We did have a good week of practice this week. Yes I said it..a good week..even with all the distractions & attentions drifting toward the happier things in life such as floating butterflies. The boys must have realized that this next week of practice is very important in our preparation for Coalfield.
Nick bring your pads, TMac bring your crutches, Oliver wheel yourself down, and Gugin….bring a barf bag, cause were comin’ to work this week.
Oh, and in case you are out of the loop here in SOR; we beat Oakdale 41-21 on Friday so give the Hogs a pat on the back if you see’em, but that’s it. I haven’t graded them out yet, and we’ve got to keep our edge. I don’t know..just tell them they did “moderately fair” or something to that effect..
That’s this week in the Locker room. FDY-SOR
