Coach Flip Naumburg's Journal

Saturday, October 1, 2005

I do not want saying it out loud to ruin or jinx it, but we have had mostly lovely days here in the Fort this fall so far. Today is no exception. It is a day with weather conditions befitting Santa Barbara (perfect), but we aren’t in California yet. Today it is BYU at home a few short hours from now.

BYU lacrosse is fresh off a victory over C.U. in Boulder yesterday. My second hand information told me it was 8-5 for the Cougars. It sounds like old times, business as usual. My hope is that things aren’t the same as they ever was. I certainly don’t want to play games where WE only score in single digits. It’s fine for the other team.

I don’t care if it is fall and we don’t really have an actual attack lineup at all, much less one that I am comfortable with. In any event any final score showing us with less than 10 goals scored in a game simply will not do.

No matter how we do today, we will have a point of departure, a particular place of reference. This fact will help keep my mind off the things that I detest and on the things that need to be focused upon. I do love coaching. Yes, I have been a little testy this week, and I am nervous about how we will perform. Where would you rather be?
