BRRG vs Brew City
First off let me just say that the freaking video footage sucked, real bad, I could have did better with my HTC Touch Pro 2. All video footage was extremely choppy and made it very hard to see what was going on, I was back and forth between my flat screen and laptop, both sucked equally.
Now onto the bout; I just did not see this happening, everything played out so differently in my head. I seriously do not remember Brew City being so gigantic! Our biggest problem was not catching their blockers setting picks early enough, or just getting bullied around. Brew City was able to open up the inside line for their jammers all night. Their tail blockers man handled our jammers, and constantly held them up in the back of the pack. Despite all this we still were staying close; when their jammers hit the box, we punished them for it. BY the time we walked into the half we had cut into their lead, and were only shy 16 points. This is where I thought we would regroup, get it figured out, and come back and smash them. But as the second half started out, we broke down. Back to back power jams, put a real hurt on us. From there they just kept pulling away from us, taking lead jam more often, grabbing quick points and pushing us around with ease.
I thank my baby momma Slaughterama for helping me from jumping up and down and cursing so damn much (I didn’t lose my voice) and we chatted in between jams. I just don’t know what happen, on paper we had everything going for us, most everyone was still skating, we had new All-Stars on our roster. But in all this it seemed to lose some of the tight-knit all-star feel that I am use to feeling. In the end, Brew City played an amazing game to which we had no answer for.
BRRG vs. ARRG
This bout I did not really get to watch, my class runs from 1pm to 3pm (when you feel tough, come and put it to the test). So when the bout started I was running from class to office checking on the laptop. Every time I looked at the laptop I shook my head in disbelief, I watched ARRG yesterday and they looked like shit, how are we unable to put points on the board…. GRRRR!! Needles to say I was walking back into my class pretty pissed, good thing I put them through their conditioning first! Each time I would tell WC the score and his face was looked just as stunned as the previous time. I wish I could have watched more of that bout and tell you more, but I had to teach.
I hope we can get this all-star team figured out and back to where I know we should be and fast! You girls are way better than this, I seen you play month after month. We need to become more competitive as a travel team. You need to figure out, what players need to be in what positions to achieve the best results. Stop playing people where they want to be played, and put them where you need them. Better luck next time

Yes, needless to say, Brewhaha was a very eye-opening experience for our team. We left the track after Arch Rivals, grabbed our stuff out of the locker room, and had an immediate team meeting on the venue’s lawn to try to brainstorm ideas on what we need to do to get back our mojo and make our team more competitive.

“Stop playing people where they want to be played, and put them where you need them.”
This is 100% untrue. The teams needs will ALWAYS come before the individual player. Eva and I do not play people in positions because that’s where they want to play. We make lineups thinking of what will be best for the team and put people in positions we feel works best for the team.

Losing 2 games totally sucked, especially when we were only down by 15 at halftime of the Brew City game. That being said, I was glad to be back on the track with the All Stars again.

R.E. – just wanted you to know that I am still a fan and avid reader of Sk8intheface, and wish all the best to the Turn Two Boys, and my many BRRG skater friends. Maybe I’ll come visit a home BRRG bout again sometime – you never know. Cheers to one and all.
