Men's soccer: Into the playoffs on a good note
Another strong performance by our men's soccer team led to a 2-1 victory. We expect to get a rematch next week in the playoffs against the same opponent. We finished the year with a record of 3-5, which is pretty good considering how we looked for our first two games!

Football: Coming together as a team
Only two games into the season, our flag football team is really coming together. We had a near perfect first half on Wednesday, jumping out to an 18-6 lead. Defensively, Andre and me intercepted the only two long pass attempts by our opponents. Offensively, we connected on nearly any play we wanted.

In the second half we gave up two touchdowns, including a late touchdown that put us behind 19-18 with two minutes to play. Rob architected a masterful drive to give us the go-ahead score. Our defense was stout in the final minute to preserve a 24-19 win, our first of the young season.

Co-ed soccer: Playing down to the competition
Tuesday night we played the (mostly) aptly named team, "Last Place Team", but we played them to a 1-1 tie! It was a pretty disappointing performance -- let's hope we got it out of our system!

Flag football starts again
A brand new team of free agents banded together and called themselves The Longest Yard. We started our season against a tough opponent, last year's defending champion Dade. We gave up a quick score, but responded late in the first half when Rob connected with me on a deep post for six. We went to halftime down 7-6.

To start the second half, we traded touchdowns once again and tied things up at 13-13. Then the champs went back to what made them champs, and scored two more quick touchdowns for the final margin of 27-13.

We're quite satisfied with the performance. Many of our players were new to the IBM league, and we were almost all new to one another. It looks like a promising season!

Soccer: Men's 2-1 victory
Hey, it's nice to write an entry with that in the title! Our second win of the season, and first that I was in attendance for. I had a busy night at goalie, but we managed to pitch a shutout for 39 minutes (games are 40 minutes). One of our best efforts on the season!

Flag football addendum
At 27, I'm the second-oldest player on my team. :-O

Flag football season starts again
Flag football season is just around the corner. I've joined another rag-tag team of free agents, with a few holdovers from last year, called The Longest Yard. Judging from our scrimmage tonight, we're going to have a decent team! So far the highlight is the return of our leading receiver from last year (Andre). Here's to hoping for a good year!

Quite true
It's people like this that steer women away from the Internet.
