BFP @ DWTC

Back from Down With The Clown, had an absolute blast! We ended up finishing 3rd in the tournament with our only losses coming to Machine X/Y teams. It was great to see a bunch of people one last time before departing for Denmark (T-minus 3 days). We played really well as a team and the team improved exponentially as the weekend went on, I'm really excited to see how the team is doing when I get back in August.

One of the best parts of the weekend was that everyone on the team was at the party it was really cool to be a part of a team where everyone enjoyed everyone's company and there wasn't that one guy who everyone couldn't stand. We arrived right on time at 8pm right as the first of 4 kegs was being tapped and stayed until the last keg was about half empty. It was good to get to know the guys on the team in a social setting and not just as a cutter or handler on the team. I will really miss not being able to attend the practices in July and Motown Throwdown but I'll just have to work my ass off while I'm in Denmark so I can keep my spot on the O-line.

Down With The Clown

Tomorrow is the first tournament with BFP, pretty nervous but also super excited to play with the team, I think we have a lot of potential. It will be interesting to see how the chemistry of the team develops in the first tournament. I am bummed that I will be missing a months worth of practices and a tournament. The group of guys is great and has potential to develop into a great team chemistry wise. Hopefully I won't miss out on too much team bonding while I am away.

I'm also excited to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in a while and a bunch of people one last time before I depart for Denmark. Speaking of Denmark, I think it is just now hitting me that I am actually going, hopefully I can figure shit out well enough to make it there and find my way around reasonably well.

I'll try and give a brief write up of the tournament after I get back.

Purdue for a Bit

Location: West Lafayette

Got back to Purdue yesterday afternoon and then left for Beachfront Property (BFP) practice up in Chicago. Practice went well, excited for the tournament in South Bend this weekend (Down With The Clown), it will be interesting to see how well the team gels with only 2 practices under our belts.

Departure for Denmark is getting closer and closer, definitely excited about the trip but a little nervous about just getting there.

Right now watching the USA v. Spain soccer match in the Confederation Cup semifinals (right now it's 0-0) USA looks sharp but I have a hard time believing it will last but I do have hope that they may come up with a real shocker and defeat the number 1 team in the world.

Dad's Day

Location: Wichita (still)

Happy Father's Day first of all. Today was pretty lazy. Family went to out to lunch together than we took my sister to the airport so she could fly back home. After that watched the miracle of USA somehow advancing in the Confederation cup despite losing it's first two games of pool play. USA faces Spain on Wednesday it will be interesting if the defense comes together or simply lets Spain romp all over them. Tomorrow I'll be driving to St. Louis to spend the evening with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins and then it is on to W. Lafayette and up to Chicago for some Beach Front Property practice.

12 Days Left

Location: Wichita, KS

Just got to Wichita earlier today drove from St. Louis after spending the night at my Aunt and Uncle's place. Last night went to the Cardinals game and sat in a suite with tons of free food. Tomorrow's schedule is spending time with the family and getting stuff ready for my trip to Denmark (Lyngby, where the Technical University of Denmark is located).

Short post, first post hopefully I'll stick with it.
