A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Championship

All of you guys need to come visit Nice Thread. The therapy there is great. All of the excuses make us sad. Come on over to Mr Smokeys Neighborhood. We will see if we can make you happy.
 
Our best guy was hurt.

Our best guy was out of town.

Our best guy had to go over to his other parent's house.

Our best guy woke up late.

Our best guy just broke up with his girl.

Our best guy is mad at the coach.

Our best guy spends all his time on 6man.com. (Oh wait...that last one's a good thing)

The field wasn't marked clearly............ it was an 11man field and they didn't put new turf down................

Leads me to a funny story. I am coaching 5 YO soccer on Saturday mornings. If you have the first game, you not only have to haul the goals out, but also line the field. This season, I have the first or last game every week, meaning you are setting up or taking down. No biggie... repaint the line and drag the goals and nets out.

I show up early and the other coach isn't there, so I grab the paint and hand cart and head to the field. The old lines are real faint, but I can see them, so I just follow along. I do the long sideline, then turn to do the end line and just follow what is there. The next thing I notice is that I am just veering about 5 feet to the right from where the blue marker for the corner had been. The previous ppl had missed it. The opposing coach shows up right then, sees the line and says, "nice work" and gives me a smile. I was mortified.

He eventually realizes what I had done. I reline the field and now we have a huge diagonal across one side. I have my kids rub the bad line with their cleats until it washes away...
