Back to Work Tuesday

Tuesday, February 25, 2025

More work on HUDL in the morning, a good stretch of the legs in the afternoon and a spirited practice in the evening all made for a good day.

More photos from last Saturday's Mariners at Camioneros game were posted on-line today.

Here are the ones that I liked the most.

Don Antonio Valverde

Note the patch on his pocket that marks him as a referee from the Murcia region of Spain where we first met a decade ago. 

All were onside for this Kickoff

Chasing in the Secondary

Hands to the face!

WR Ruben as a Whirling Dervish

That darn ball draws attention

Nice wall off block by our Center Mikel

Funky looking standings

In European team sports, your record is listed in this order: Wins-Ties-Losses.

It makes sense to me as a tie is better than a loss, just ask your sister.

Quentin?

Loving Gijón architecture as usual

The harbor was glorious after

the morning rain

Cute little face

Mossy highlights after the rain

I wonder how long these rocks have been here?

Vaulted Entryway

Another cute face

The Red Menace

Commies everywhere!

Interesting Lions

Don Jose M. Caso

1928-1995

He was a local writer renowned for his biography of Gijón's most famous citizen, Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos.

Reflection of the Iglesia de San Pedro

One sees these markers in the

sidewalks around town for

the Ruta de la Plata

The Ruta de la Plata was an

ancient Roman trade route that

connected Gijón to Andalusia

Care to walk it?

City Hall getting ready for

next Tuesday's Carnival

Can you make out the Mardi Gras mask on the balcony that will be lit up at night?

In actuality, Gijón will be in party mode for this pre-lenten carnival starting this Friday night. Next week's celebration of Ash Wednesday is a National Holiday.

As a result of all of these events and festivities, we will not practice this coming Friday or next Tuesday.

City Hall Reflection

A Michelin Restaurant near City Hall

The prices are quite reasonable

for a Michelin Restaurant

I just liked the old tile work . . .

. . . and the old architecture

I loved the Star Wars, "We need to talk,"

sign on this English language school

A truly colorful city

Wings Today

We open at 7:00 p.m.

No way, we have practice across town at 8:00 p.m.

DAMN!

Hmmm . . .

I like yellow signs as it turns out

We got in some good Goal Line

Cover 1 Press work in tonight

Despite our record, spirits were high as we introduced some new Defensive concepts in an effort to remedy our problems.

Tonight was chiefly dedicated to individual techniques and I saw a lot of improvement.

Our team's attitude is still a good one.
