Making it Happen

You'll be hearing "Make it Happen" coming from me pretty often these days, as I've decided to make it my new catch phrase. Its pretty great when you make a sick cut (off of swim move) and toss a nice soft pass to a handler, tell him "make it happen", and he fires off a long, clean huck that's pulled down in the endzone by another fellow cutter (i.e. mark).

"make it happen" can also be a slogan for the road to regionals. We here at the blog love to talk about, and imagine all the training montages, and glorious moments along the way, but what it all comes down to is making the reality of the Gobies at regionals actually happen. It's "real talk": cutting down to whats serious. Its a phrase to live your life by. Eliminate the extraneous stuff, just think about what you want, and "make it happen" I think its pretty legit.

Summer league has been going pretty well. I've made an official monetary commitment to clique league, and have been playing with team tron and the twinsburgh people. We've gotten off to a 4-2 start, and have definitely been shocking the league.

Draft league has also been successful. Team pink sits mightily atop the standings with an undefeated record. This isn't to say we aren't just coasting through the league. We've been putting a lot of heart and spirit into our thrashings.
I've been relegated to handling a lot in summer league, which is always frustrating me, because I'm a thrasher (cutter) at heart. Against chocolate yesterday, one of my many fans/admirers personally requested a swim move demonstration. Though I was all too eager to chump the competition, I had very few opportunities, due to my handling duties. Still, stepping out of one's comfort zone to improve a weak part of their game is definitely a step on the road to regionals.
We defeated team chocolate by a decent margin, but it wasn't without a solid performance by crunkin' Duncan Davis. The fellow goby played like a game changer. I can't tell you how legit its been to see every goby stepping their game up to the next level.

Thanks for your continued readership, as Q and I are glad to have your support. I would say the same for the other bloggers as well, but I haven't heard much from them lately

Goby Withdrawal

I've had the shakes lately.

I lie in bed at night, and think about my fellow gobies, and how we're going to improve ourselves and come together as a team to be victorious at sectionals. I keep thinking about us scoring that last point to qualify for regionals. We're going to win a tournament this year. We're going to bond at spring break and bro out so hard that we'll have to worry about high-five calluses. Just thinking about it gives me shivers

As fun as its been to play with a wide variety of people, I'm getting pretty antsy about reuniting with my Case teammates this fall. Once that first pull goes off, we're gonna thrash up the field like a buff hurricane. Every time I imagine it in my head, there's some badass rock music in the background with a guitar crunching out some sick riffs while we shred a zone, or break chumps. Sometimes chill-tense just doesn't cut it.

Dictionary Preview

So many of you have probably noticed that a few of us incorporate some interesting wordplay into our entries. For those of you that have trouble following our flow, I wrote up a dictionary a few months back to help explain ourselves (kinda). This will serve as a little taste of the full lexicon of your blogging gobies. Just a few rounds of our verbal armament so to speak. Im guessing it will eventually become expanded, and turned into an iphone app or something
