Priceless

This past weekend was Mid Season Tourney for the AFDC Summer League.

This was taken during the finals....and no, our team didn't make it.

Look, a post!

This weekend marked the first Rival Tournament of the 2006 Series. As well as the first tournament of the year for Rival, it was also the first tournament for the "newbies" and or "rookies" who have been added to this year’s roster, myself included.
This weekend’s adventure was held in Knoxville, Tn. For those who sacrificed there bodies to stay in the unbelievably gross, molded, mildew hotel room, I commend you. For those of you who didn't stay in the hotel, you should be glad. On that note, no more cheap ass hotels for Rival.

Saturday was a breeze, stomping through three teams with us winning the race to thirteen and leaving our opponents in the single digits hardly breaking 5 points. I felt like our offense was sailing smooth and our defense was rock solid and will hopefully continue to be that way throughout the season.

Saturday night I, as a newbie, was introduced into the Outback Rival Dinner. Apparently if there is an Outback nearby then that is where we eat. Needless to say, I didn't eat very much due to the three shots of whatever it was with Erin before leaving. Smart? I don't know, but it was interesting. After dinner it was back to the hotel with the game that I only play when I seem to be tipsy, "Never have I ever". Don't worry people; I don't remember much of anything on who said what or who did what. It was, um, I'm drawing a blank.

Sundays games were a bit more difficult. We played Caroline's team, aka "The Loop" first. It was a wake-up call compared to Saturdays games. It was the first time all weekend that we went down by a point before coming back for a win. If Caroline had the team that she thought she would have had, it would have been a different story. (Robert, Annie, Justin, McCargo all bailed on her....Robert and Annie with good reason, though).
Next up was the dreaded Jots. As a former Shotgunner, we had claimed victory over them only once before at Shawn Adams, but didn’t succeed a second time. This game was going to be tough both mentally and physically. Going down by three right off the start was a bit of a blow but we bounced back strong. We played hard as a team and it showed with our victory into the finals!

The Smut Peddle-People (Smut Peddlers) were next. A team composed of mainly current and new Chain and Ozone Players. With Frito, Chris A, Spears, Stubbs, Kate, Jenn, Kristina and others this team was by far the hardest match ups we had seen all weekend. Claiming second place after a hard game I felt was pretty damn good for our first tournament together. I felt everyone played really welgoo

That and I finally went completely horizontal....Sweet!

Happy Birthday to Mati, Wood, Erin and Lisa also!
