One week away - I can hardly stand it!!!

As the title says, game 1 of spring season 2013 is one week away and I am so freaking excited I am practically buzzing! I have missed my teammates so freaking much! I miss seeing you people at least once a week - and seeing you all a wee bit hammered during that week if its a good week! Nothing quite like sharing a fine beer - or in the case of a certain male player (you know who you are) a apple-tini - after an exhilarating game of soccer!

So here is the dealeo - the full schedule is now posted on both the City of Eugene website as well as on Team Cowboy. Please take a second to go into team cowboy and RSVP for the games - you can RSVP for multiple games at once easily now they have a new RSVP to multiple games feature... Do it now to avoid me harassing you non-stop for the rest of the season.

Unfortunately due to some circumstances I was not able to do our usual pre-season BBQ at my house - nor was I able to throw our St. Patty's day debauchery as usual. However keep your eyes peeled, I will try to do something in April if all works well.

I can't wait for everyone to meet our new players to the team, I think I found some keepers! Also on another wonderful front - Josh - our injured and sometime fellow team blogger - has informed me that he should be back to fighting form and ready once again to dominate on the pitch! If you all remember - he was our secret weapon until his knee mutinied.

New players - your jerseys should be ready by Friday, I will bring them with me game 1. Again, see you all next week!

Whoops - I guess its been a while...

Hi everyone,

sorry, I guess its been a while since the last post - I almost made it through Fall season with the blogging before life and chaos swallowed up my time! So anyhoo....lets see - what did we miss since then...the recap:

Scores for the rest of Fall 2012 season

Game 6 vs. Mighty Narwhals Loss 5-7
not sure what it is with this team...I swear every freaking time we play them its insane torrential rain!

Game 7 vs Nutria Win 4-0
It was swift and decisive - we kick ass!

Game 8 vs Dam United Loss 3-4
Again it came down to 1 point - one of these seasons we will get that 1 point!

Overall the Win/Loss record for the team for Fall 2012 was our best yet!
W-L-T 3-5-0

I just want to point out that we have been steadily improving all these seasons - evidence below:

Fall 2011        - W-L-T 0-8-0
Spring 2012    - W-L-T 1-6-1
Summer 2012 - W-L-T 2-5-1
Fall 2012        - W-L-T 3-5-0

So my prediction for Spring 2013 season....

W-L-T 4-4-1

We will see!

In terms of player news here are some updates:

Brandi was injured in one of the last games of the self-officiated Fall 2012 season. Luckily her injury is one that did not require any major medical intervention and is something that some rest and nurture should bring her back to 100%. Sadly - this does mean that we will be missing her for this upcoming spring season

Myeshia our beautiful songstress superstar has left us for greener pastures (well really more like more yellow hills) of LA to pursue her imminent path to stardom. We all will miss her and wish her well.

Andrea will be taking a siesta from the demands of soccer for Spring season, we are gonna hurt missing our star lady striker!

However all is not lost - I am happy to announce that Elizabeth - who had subbed for us a few times last season will now become an official Grass Kicker! Welcome Elizabeth!

Also as your ever faithful manager I am currently working my magic recruiting mojo and finding us some new ladies to join the roster!

Okay, I think that catches us up to the current season, I can't wait for Spring season to start!

And in the mean time to warm your cockles here are some pics of the fun we had in the meantime...
