We didn't exactly have numbers for practice today. Only twelve players showed, including a B teamer and several guys with injuries who played anyway. It was cold and windy, and the field was wet. On the whole, we had a lot of trouble concentrating and playing through the adversity, and I would say that effort was lacking in our scrimmage. Everybody just seemed resigned to fail. It was just a day of bad attitudes.
Seth layed out and got a bloody nose. I gave him my shirt to stem the bloodflow, since it's the shirt that I'm wearing for Halloween tomorrow (I'm going as the victim of a bear mauling, so blood will not be out of place). Other highlights include a huge layout that Christ had on a hammer that I threw him for the final score of our scrimmage. I think that it was a pretty excellent hammer, but he took a bad line on it. He layed out huge, snatching the disc's trailing edge coming down on it from above with his thumb under the disc rather than simply putting his thumbs below the disc and catching it more easily. The kid made it tough, but he made the catch. That was pretty sweet.
Tomorrow we're going trick or treating and then having a Halloween party. Josh is buying a keg. I don't really support this sort of thing, since we have a tournament Saturday morning, but I guess I'm just going to go along with it and have some fun. I guess I am sort of excited about the party but, well, I dunno....
