Weekend Sports

Greetings, loyal readers!

I know I haven't had a new worthwhile post up in some time. Truth is, the current events that are filling the headlines don't really interest me enough to write about them. The past few weeks have been quite busy. This weekend I'll be gone on a training exercise, so don't expect anything up then, either.

This past Saturday evening I was able to go to the Atlanta Thrasher/ Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game. Final score 3-2 with the Lightning on top. It is a pretty interesting experience when you are one of about seven people in the entire arena that applauds when the visiting team scores. The Lightning's defense was amazing. Just from watching them, I think their coach spends more time drilling the team on their defensive tactics than he does on their offensive tactics. I say this not because the offense was weak, but because the defense was that strong. While I'm talking about Saturday's sports, way to go Gators! Being in Georgia, most of these people are blood thirsty UGA fans. As you know, I'm not a big follower of sports, professional or collegiate. However, it was nice to walk around with my chest puffed out a bit farther than usual while saying that I was from Florida. You see, I normally don't care what happens, but enough people had been talking about "the big game" on Saturday, drawing their little crossed-out gator heads all over the place, that I had to root for my teams. One more sports note: Too bad FSU won. Had they lost, it would have been a perfect weekend!
