soccer

Today I am going to tell a good story about myself, but don't think I am puffed up, because tomorrow is a bad story about Jeff.

So I was in college 1975-79.  We did not have fraternities so we played intramural sports by dorm floor.  I was a part of Scott hall, second floor, north end.  SC2N

My senior year, we won every sport.  Football, basketball, soccer, tennis, softball, tiddly winks, we won it all.  We were so proud of ourselves.  I am sure that we were hated by much of the rest of the school.  When you are a young man, at least for me, a good deal of self esteem came from playing and winning sports.

Soccer.  I had never played, but Mel Torre from New York was going to teach me.  He was the captain of our floor's soccer team.  One game, I scored three goals.  A hat trick!  It was a happy memory.

Oh we were young!  Oh we had fun.  The attached picture was from the school paper.  I am in front, about to head the ball.  Yes, I had hair back then!

I kind of hate to tell stuff like this because it sounds like bragging, but tomorrow's post will even the score.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
