So let me get you caught up. I am, for the next 8 weeks coach Stock. I took over as head coach of one of the Eagle Mountain B teams. Nobody else wanted to so I took it on. Lisa hates this time of year as it gets really busy and I become obsessed with football instead of her. Yes folks she gets jealous of football and she should there is nothing better then football. It is played at a beautiful time of the year, it is the greatest game ever invented for Men and boys to get out all their energy and aggression. But in all fairness Lisa would leave me for several conservative commentators so I do not feel so bad.We had our first game last Saturday and I was very impressed with the team. In the first quarter they scored 3 touchdowns on us. In the second quarter they scored 1 touchdown. In the second half they got only one first down and that was with only 2 minutes left to play. Offense went much the same. We did not score but by the second half we were getting first downs right and left. It was a lot of fun to see them work so hard for it. We got within 3 yards and on the last play they did a shift on the defense just before the ball snapped and we could not push it through. But coming from last year where we only got something like 2 or 3 first downs the whole season I think we are doing great!
I tell the boys that in life all you have to do is improve a little bit each day and you will eventually pass up all those people who do not improve a little bit each day. Simple yet profound, kind of like me.

LOL... simple yet profound... Every kid needs a great coach at some point in their playing. Ryan got grounded on the day of a scrimmage for dissing me. He called his coach to tell him he wouldn't be playing that day. Later on, the coach called me to see if he could "work something out with me" as Ryan was the only kid for that position. I was going to stick to my guns and say no, but when the coach offered to make Ryan do extra up/downs and laps as well as getting a lecture from the coaches, I thought that was worse than being grounded! LOL and Ryan was not impressed with the deal. He did extras for 2 days :~) and got a face full of his coaches about respecting the mama!
I did tell the coach though that if it happens again then Ryan will NOT play whether it be a scrimmage or the championship. He agreed. Ryan has been sweet as a kitten since and has done his chores without complaint. Let's see if it carries through to his homework this year!
How fun! I love football too. So, does this mean Daniel is playing on the B team?
