Winning is such a good feeling! My brats tasted better, the coffee tasted better and I looked sexier. Winning is good!!!
I must say that no matter how cold the weather or what state, country or continent I'm coaching in, I never get tired of the post game ice water down my back routine by the players. WINNING IS GOOD INDEED!!!
We have another BYE next week, our third one in the first five weeks of the season, nice scheduling by the league. In two weeks we play a very strong team in Lausanne, the LUCAF Owls. LUCAF is an acronym for Lausanne Université Club American Football.
