While we are being comical, I noticed that the "perfect" season in Indiana was ruined for one Indiana 10u team last weekend. But hey, they are the best 10u team ever and I am certain that they will surely rebound down in Panama at the 'B' USFA World Series...playing two '04 teams in pool play, while even teams they "beat"up on all year at these huge tournaments down south are playing 'A' in the same tournament. Now that's comical.
Enjoy your championship run..news flash...you are a lock..at least you better be..failure is not an option. It's also comical that they are trying to break up teams within their own organization by recruiting players from their own 12u team....wow...now that's teamwork. But hey, it's not all about winning to them..it's about development and learning the game. I dont care who you are...that's funny stuff right there...
I swear that is not me under a different user name!
I have put some thought into the argument (or discussion) of playing in a 'B' national championship. Please allow me to share...
I think it's great that this team is focused on their goal of winning. I think it's great that this team (parents) supports this goal and so willingly defend it...even though they shouldn't have to do so. And I'm actually excited to see how things shake out for them.
I'll be the first to admit that I have questioned a lot of teams registering 'B' when it is so obvious that they compete well beyond that level. But I am not so naive to believe that this only happens in Indy, Indiana, or the Midwest. So, I am pretty sure there are going to be some challenges for any team playing in this tournament.
I do agree, with all the posts about this team that failure is really not an option at this point. But, hey, I'm sure that's not a part of their plan.
I'm not a fan of the organization, per se. But I do wish the
Indiana Gators '03 team the best of luck. #RepresentIndiana #WinOrDon'tComeHome

There, I said something nice and supportive...
