MySpace Blog from 9-6-06

Well, here we are, it's Wednesday and that means it's blog time.

It's a shame the rain kept so many people away because they missed a great game Friday night. Props to the defense, they held it down and came up with some big turnovers that put the offense in great field position and let them make plays to get in the end zone.
I was very impressed to hear how personal Coach Arcurio and the staff and the players took the loss last year. At the time it was a complete shocker. When all was said and done it wasn't that bad as Ernie Fetzer had that program turned in the right direction, even hanging with Tyrone for a half in a district playoff game.

I think a lot of people in the Nation thought it was a foregone conclusion that this game would be lost by the Trojans. Oh ye of little faith! Hopefully your eyes were opened a little on Friday night.

I like that option, hopefully we'll be able to run more of that as the season goes on.
I haven't looked at a forecast yet (it's too early) but hopefully it will be dry and there will be a better contingent of folks at the game this weekend. I felt bad as the players came out for pregame, there was hardly any cheering at all, mainly because most of the small crowd that was present were holding umbrellas and couldn't really clap!

One thing I'd like to do in closing is give props to the band. Even the numbers of the band aren't what they once were in the 80s and 90s (and unfortunately they'll probably never get back), I though they sounded great. Real crisp, despite the wet conditions that can wreak havoc with musical instruments. Good job guys.

I'm out, see you guys in Ebensburg.
