Snow World, The New Costner Epic
An in depth look at how the snow has truck sticked the last week of Pitt lacrosse.
Snowpocalypse has been a significant disaster for out lacrosse team. We’ve had to cancel our game Saturday and due to campus being shut down this week we have also missed practice time. As such we’ve been doing a lot of remote managing via email.
One of the email topics that has been ripping through our inbox is the selection of next year’s executive board. This a very important step for the program in terms of building continuity. We felt like when we made changes this fall that most of the fat would cut itself out. Now as year one of the new regime beings to head for the door it is necessary for us to select an executive board with not just the same ideals but at least same motivation and resolve to reach our goals.
Most executive boards are announced at the end of the season or the start of fall ball. We want to announce next season’s executive board as soon as possible so we can start to bring them in on meetings.
The more they can learn watching from the shadows now, the easier things will be for them when they are in control next year.
People in position of authority make mistakes all the time regardless of their age. See Pitt Lacrosse executive board ordering gloves too late in the fall and not having them in time for our first game. See President Obama wasting time providing sports commentary for ESPN.
It happens. And we want to make sure they don’t happen next year so more forward progress can be made.
In terms of on the field news, we have nothing to report. Players have been on their own trying to stay warm, dry, and mentally sane while trapped in the dorms or houses. We got this email last night which will be a nice way to get the team back together before this weekend’s game.
Pitt Laxers,
I know this weather has thown a kink in our training regimen, however, we have a game on saturday regardless of how prepared we are. That being said I hope that all of you will participate in Wall Ball:
When: Thursday (tomorrow) from 4 to 5pm and 8 to 9pm Friday from 4 to 5pm and 8 to 9pm
Where: Posvar, under the bridge in between Posvar and David Lawrence
My phone number is 724 ***-**** if you need to contact me.
Also, I’m trying to have another pasta dinner and we will definitely try to have a team meeting before the game on saturday. Check your email and forward any messages via text to at least 5 other players.
A Pitt captain.
Nothing wrong with improving stick skills on a Thursday and Friday.
Some things that we have to take care of in the next 48 hours are fundraising and website related. Logisitics are boring.
Planning on winning Saturday so we can show off our home whites.
Speaking of home whites, Florida is the best dressed team in 2010 until proven otherwise. It’s going to take a lot to unseat them.
Florida has released pictures of their gloves and uniforms over the winter but seeing everything together is like the first time we saw Edward Cullen.
Miami isn’t looking too shabby either but their effort might as well be that of the JV bench captain compared to what has emerged from Gainesville.
Kits we are looking forward to:
Colorado State
Florida State
Oregon
Assuming they got new new, we know CSU did, Flip’s good for that.
Speaking of Florida, their next game will be broadcast online.
Game over if this comes out for male humans.
David Guetta is 42 years old. We didn’t know that until we saw this video of an aged hipster dancing in an elevator. But boy, can he get after it musically.
