Coach Flip Naumburg's Journal

Tuesday, March 4, 2003

Our game with UNC today was not only postponed due to the massive spring style snow storm, but I think we will just cancel that one and put the $485 worth of officials fees towards the play-offs in April. We will go tonight from 9:00 – 10:30. Our injury list grows as our depth gradually disappears. We actually have a couple of starters who have been told not to practice this week so they can heal. That always changes my practice concept, but then what doesn’t lately? No two are alike that is for sure. Yesterday was a part of a small window of niceness between storms. Actually yesterday’s Practice Hour was the best to date. This and a couple of bucks will get you a Red Bull. If we could string a few practices together perhaps we could begin to become the Raging Red Bull that I envision us becoming. I do not drink or condone the drinking of Red Bull, by the way. I have paid for some I think.

DISCLAIMER

While I am on the subject, it is time for me to come out of my little closet for a minute and admit that someone actually might be reading this, and therefore I write the following: Any reference to actual characters in this journal is purely intentional. Names are rarely changed to protect the guilty or the innocent. The views expressed here do not reflect the views of anyone other than me, unless I put those little quotation marks I am so fond of using, and then I might have heard it somewhere's else.

Please DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. This journal was completed in a closed office space and written by a questionably sane, non-professional writer.

FLYING CIRCUS

This year brings to mind Monty Python in search of the Holy Grail. Everything is at least a paradox, perhaps even an oxymoron these days. I don’t even know what that means. All I do know is that the game that was supposed to be played between Florida’s Gators and the Hokies of Virginia Tech today in Gainesville was postponed "due to weather". What the heck does that mean? How far is Tallahassee from there? It can’t be that far. When do we get one of those silver linings in the cloud that doesn’t turn out to be whipping up a hurricane, or is holding a boatload of snow, preparing to dump most all of it somewhere near wherever we are.?

If you can't count on playing games in Florida in March, can you really count on anything?
