I’m gonna talk a little High School football here.
I won’t go into the chances my youngest winds up on varsity. Frankly, I want to see the kid play his way up during the season. That being said, it would be lovely to see him and his big bro suited up together again and to have that picture to carry with me moving forward. Until then, the focus is to be on each individual excelling. It the time I have for this blog I cannot really go too deep into the season, so I’ll just start with the first game. Each is an important step towards building a team culture. These kids have dealt with a new coach every single year of their High School careers. This level of change is unprecedented in the state, and them winning more than 2 games (what they won last year) given the situation and schedule would feel like a coup.
It all starts with Perry. This is a school that competed well last year. They crushed DV 24-7 in a game that showed that DV had little heart. It looks like the heart issue will be front and center in this one, with Perry coming in with a larger and better and more experienced squad. That being said, the DV offense is good enough to generate a few scores this time around and the defense is more stout in the secondary, meaning there will be turnovers. I say DV takes a win. A close but much needed win! Two more to go, but starting at one means the heart issue might be fixed out the gate.
Some Thoughts:
- The Madden problem is far from resolved. At least we are at a place of understanding why the promised 50% off is not happening. So, the system is designed to plug in the EAplay discount (10%) instead of the 50, which means we don’t get the promised discount if we have already be loyal subscribers to EAplay. So, by supporting EA more we get less than what was promised. I see this as a problem.
