..if only we had that many people show-up for practice.

I can't see it. My computer sucks...

It was not a pretty sight.

New computer, picture pops up. I played against that guy on the right in high school. Tough defender...

Well folks. The regular season has come to an end. Yes..after a rigorous season that tested the will power and heart of all involved it is playoff time.

Tonight the Rowdy Rebels showed everyone how to go out in style. It was a very physical match against the "Stage 5 Clingers" aka ROTC Mongrels. But R&R made this senior night a special one putting away five unanswered goals and securing the goose egg.

Goals:
Evan Kaiser (PK)
Brian Hill
Paul(Moon) Hughes x2
Jack Rozier

3-0 at the half (i believe)

It will officially go down as a 1-0 forfeit win for us b/c one of their players didn't bring his ID card..so he couldn't officially check-in to the match. So they only had 10..and decided to forfeit rather than play a man down. This could actually potential hurt the Rowdy Rebels in our aspirations for a playoff berth.

The Rowdy Rebels share an identical record with Real Everywhere..whom they tied earlier in the season. Tonight Real Everywhere lost 1-0 to Kelly's Krew..who unfortunately put in 3 against the Rowdy Rebels. So it looks as though R&R may have just missed the playoff boat (or some other metaphor that makes sense) ..but you never know.

As soon as we get the word on our playoff future (or lack there of) I'll fill you all in..since you're dying to know!

..oh yeah. The skinny on my goal. I was playing Right-Mid ..while making a run into the box I was played a great ball by Adam Frey..let it meg myself..and the defender..turned the corner.. basically a one-on-one with the keep.. right foot bending near post..barely past the keep. Only sounds good because I'm telling the story..

..candidate for ugliest goal of the season.

dont ever try a joke like that again, weak.

Touche' ..i feel the burn.

I guess it was above your head WDIM. Good call on that one!

Well.. it turns out playing in the advanced league counts for more than I thought..despite being 4th in our division.. we ended up being ranked 9th out of the 25 teams that made the playoffs (advanced, greek, & novice combined).

You can check out the brackets and what not here.

Anyway.. so..first round of the playoffs were tonight. Before I get to the Rowdy Rebels. I would like to say that the team I played for last year "The Sexy Beasts" ..now "Pat MaGroin" won their first round match 2-1 against fellow novice team "Wu-tang steamin rooster-tossers"

As for the Rowdy Rebels.. we won tonight 3-0 against the 24th ranked novice team "The Cru"

1-0 at half

Goals by:
Brett Nolan
Colin Merrill
Jonathan Walker

Pretty solid game overall..weren't really tested too much..lots of missed chances (Ex: I hit the crossbar with a wide open goal)

Tomorrow night we play (i believe) #8 Real Everywhere ..the team we tied 0-0 in our 2nd match of the season. Should be a close one.

That is all.

It is funny. I care nothing about intramural soccer at Clemson, but the storyline has me hooked.
