Soccer

Ok, So today I went to Hobart to watch my dad's soccer team play. He's the head coach at St. Lawrence. They are big rivals with Hobart and my dad dislikes the coach because hes arrogant. A couple of hockey guys and I went down to watch the game and see my folks. It was a good game SLU ended up losing 2-1 but they didn't play very well. One of my good friends is the captain of the team and he scored the only goal. I felt bad because my dad told me if they didnt win another game this year and beat Hobart he would be happy. The thing is he won a National Championship with SLU n 1999. He still gets up for games like that, after such a big accomplishment he is still hungry to win every game. Don't get me wrong Hobart is ranked #5 in the country and SLU is having a bad season there 6-3 overall. Most people would think thats a good record but everytime they go out for a season they expect to win a National Championship. They have been to the semi's twice since they won, and quaters atleast 3 times. I know 99' is along time ago but they still treat it like it was yesterday at SLU. I feel bad for the seniors because when they were freshman they lost in the finals. That wasnt very long ago, It's tough to have such high expectations and still have a 6-3 season. It's a good thing they don't play Cortland this year or I would have a tough time figuring out who I would cheer for, My school or my dad's team. Anyway that was my Saturday and I ended the day with some homework. What a life for a college student.
