My hounds finally got to Mudhen in the end. Mudhen is a American coot, a waterfowl bird found in coastal regions. It makes good stew with gravy.

Post # 58, good post, except you got a couple of things wrong. First, you don’t qualify for financial aid because you play soceer. You qualify because of economic need.
There are a lot more kids not playing sports on financial aid than sports kids.
Also, the statement about parents aiding and helping their kids to success, isn’t that what it is all about?
My Dad worked every weekend over his normal job to keep his kids in Catholic school. You would be surprised how many parent or parents do things like that.
Is that some sort of advantage over other schools?
B.S. get out and fund raise, support your kids and trust them. However, accountability is a key factor and when at school DLS demands it.
On the brotherhood thing, the students push it. It’s been there a long, long time and unless your kids go there, you won’t understand it.
Commitment cards, chapel, team dinners at players’ homes, around the clock conditioning. The football team started it and it became a standard for the rest of the teams.
Bye the way, DLS is far from a country club, there’s not a lot of Mercedes, BMW’s, etc. around campus unlike other well- to -do communitites. Most of the kids drive an old car and car-pool. The dress code is pretty simple-conservative.
DLS and CHS are going to be successful for a very long time, no matter what league they fall in.
It’s called hard work and commitment, not only to the team but to themselves.

What is consider the coach of the year? The coach that wins the championship?

The coach of the year should be someone who does a better job to help a program become better.

Both DLS and BOD coaches are good coaches.

Both of this coaches coach at a private schools were they don’t have to worry about kids making grades or having kids miss games cause they have to work to help their families. Not to mention that DLS has excellent assistant coaches. No matter what coach you use for this 2 schools the programs will always be successful as they prove they are always contenders for the title.

@Matt,
Was fun this season.
You should start a club blog as everybody is starting back up this week. I am sure it will be hot and heavy at first but then calm down after the chest pounding.
Do a once a week include the girls. Results of games tournaments, thoughts and comments. Establish some basic Rules regarding blog manners and have at it. Persuade your bosses to let you go to Vegas for WCDA Tournament as a bonus for a season well done…all expenses of course. THANK YOU

@Spektator – Get over myself? You’re the one who assumed the poem was written for you. Of course, if the shoe fits…

This is way too easy, but still fun.

@Sweeper

A cold one is very necessary. Let’s do that very soon. Congrats to winning the February Fracas. You certainly know your stuff, and I love your insights.

@Shinguard

Thanks for keeping my picks under wraps. You were one of many people that made this a great year.

Unfair advantage? Apparantly winning constitutes “unfairness”?

Goodness, what is happening to our culture? Someone please grow a pair before it is too late.
