Losing three in a row has to be building a lot of character in our Rams this year. Will the coaching staff develop character? Will the players develop character? These are good questions.
I am preparing myself for a character building weekend, this weekend, since I made plans and bought tickets to fly to Dallas. I am visiting my little brother and he managed to get 12 tickets to the game. I am going to be surrounded by freaking insane Cowboy fans who are hungry and excited to watch a blowout in their stadium against a pathetic 0-3 team that has only managed to score 32 points in three games.
Let’s hope our coaching staff is up for making adjustments and the offense is ready to go. The Cowboys have scored 116 points in three games. They are 3-0. The Rams have scored 32 points in three games and they are 0-3. I am preparing for some more character building; however, I would be open to an upset game in a hostile environment.

Utter,
Great article!
I, too have experieced many a similiar fleecing on the soccer field as well. You are absolutely correct about getting over it and leaving it behind you as a distant memory.
I have hope but I truly appreciate your optimistic but realistic approach to your roadtrip. Good luck! I hope your stopper and sweeper are going with you to "back you up!"
:waiting: My son's soccer team has scored about 30 goals on the "A" pitch and nearly as many on the "B" pitch. They have not allowed and goals on the upper field and only a few on the other. I have been placing my son on defense as he has a habit of controlling his team mates ball's and taking them in for a score.
I have asked him to start taking shots from mid-field (he is 7) and he hits those too. So know I have asked him to just pass or put the ball in an open offensive place!
Played one summer in England and Scotland as a teen. Lost almost every game. But it did build character and helped my game immensly!
Hope to hear that your soccer team kicks some hine and that your head is held up high after leaving jones' field in Dallas. Hell, right now, a 10 point loss to the cowgirls would be a victory and a confidence builder for team!
