In 2003 we were less of a lot of things, but we were so much more, too. Everyone bought their ticket and willingly got on the 2003 Magic Bus. Any time that there was someone showing signs of being a “Non-believer”, he stuck out like a sore thumb, because we were indeed a “Band of [...]

November 25, 2002 PHILOSOPHICAL INTERLUDE #4 TALK ABOUT WINNING…….. I rarely do; talk about winning that is. I never have thoughts like, “We have to win this game because”…. Since I don’t think that way, I rarely say the words WIN or LOSE in my oratory. I almost never talk about anything in terms of [...] October 29, 2002 PHILOSOPHICAL INTERLUDE #3 To everyone (whoever they are) who says that we (CSU lacrosse) have no class, I say, “Please God, let me never act like some of these other guys who supposedly have it.” If this is how you are really supposed to look and act as a coach or as [...] October 27, 2002 I made a big mistake at UC San Diego last year. We got way behind them and they (UCSD) got fired up. I had started the “Underdogs”, or J.V. Against a pretty good team, and we got behind, like 5-1 or something, before we started putting the “Dogs” back in. By that [...] October 27, 2002 1:30 p.m. – CSU 10 – Sonoma State 5 Both teams lined up near midfield to stretch before this one, facing each other, staring one another down. The captains for both teams were practically face to face. I started to hear some “BAAAAH, BAAAHING” from their side, as in we (CSU Rams) [...] October 27, 2002 PHILOSOPHICAL INTERLUDE #1 On offense you must truly work hard without the ball to create a real opportunity, not to be confused with the illusion of seeing someone who seems open, but who is really not. You must recognize and time things just right. Otherwise you must move on to the next [...] October 23, 2002 We have practiced a lot of situations in our scrimmaging this fall. This team might be young or whatever, but I still expect them to look like they don’t need a coach (not to be confused with looking like they don’t HAVE a coach). I expect them to look like they know [...] October 22, 2002 ARE WE READY FOR PRIME TIME? The other day some of the players asked me to do a “report card”. Several times in the past, sometime around mid-season, and honestly, usually when I am not happy with how we are playing, I will post “evaluations” on every player. I hadn’t planned on [...] October 16, 2002 I am starting to think about Las Vegas. Who will we play? Who did I forget to get a plane ticket for? Will we travel and all be safe and sound? One of the great things about Las Vegas is that it is hard to have some of the problems that are [...] October 13, 2002 The CU game was very intense, as always. After one of their players did something great, a “Why don’t you write that in your journal, you……?” was heard from their bench. Actually, I did not hear it. It was just reported to me later. It riled up some of my players, I [...] |
