Man, I'm tearing my hair out on this one....
A friend of mine, (yes, a Faider fan) asked me to fly up with him to the game. He even offered to pay for the flight up. Unfortunately, I've got a prior commitment on the 16th, something I just can't get out of, so it'll be impossible for me to get back to town and out to the game. :\
I'll just have to wear my stuff down to the local sports bar here in So Cal, and "mingle" with the sliver and bleak there.
...and I'm really worried about this game now, as oppossed to the way I felt at the beginning of the season. This game is no longer the "sure-bet" I thought it would be. The Faiders are beginning to actually battle and compete, and now they've changed their O-coodinator, which I can't believe it took them this long to do it. But the guy was Art's buddy, so he hung around longer than he should have. Maybe the change at this time will screw them up even more, with different verbiage and such, who knows? But their defense is playing pretty damn good, which scares the hell out of me with our patchwork O-line. Can we possibly lose this game? Please tell me we can't. If we win one more game this year, please let it be this game. Please, please, please.!!!! It's appearing to now be one of those games that don't stack up well with the Rams. On the road, outdoors and against a good defensive team isn't our strong suit.
Anyway, wish I was joining you guys, but it isn't in the cards for me. Have fun and bring a flak jacket with you.
