No, George Bush didn’t resign and the Republican Party didn’t disband after issuing a brief statement: "We’re sorry. We just…well… aw, lets face it, we’re evil and we suck."
Nope. It’s a soccer post!
As you may be aware, besides being a faithful husband/basset owner/former cowboy/ somewhat popular blogger, I am a soccer dad (Know what the difference is between a soccer dad and a hockey mom? Lipstick and my daughter didn’t get knocked up by a high school drop-out "fuckin’ redneck").
But I digress….
The lovely and talented Casey’s lovely and talented college soccer team, in it’s third year of existence, finally won the first game in school history today on a golden goal in overtime, 2-1. Making it even sweeter, they won it while playing down a player (via red card) through most of the second half and all of the overtime period. Sweeter still it was against one of the five colleges that Sarah Palin attended.
Since this is the first year with a returning coach and an actual recruiting class, we think this is progress. Best of all we now know that the L&TC won’t go 0-for college career.
So, yay.

Well, good for the L&T one, and her teammates. That game might catch on one of these days . . .
It was obvious they wouldn’t go without a win with the L&TC on the team.
Yay to the team, and to Mom and Pop Tbogg for rearing such a cool daughter.
Congratulations; I know the feeling all too well. When I joined my high school swim team they had never won a meet (I don’t know how long the team had been in existence; for a few years at least). And my freshman year we kept that streak of infamy alive (although we did lose one heartbreaker by a mere three points). It wasn’t until my sophomore year that the team finally won its first meet (two, actually, that season). So, BTDT. Good luck for the future!
Congrats, Casey!
…”and my daughter didn’t get knocked up by a high school drop-out “fuckin’ redneck”…
It’s that librul upbringing she got…
Obviously the L&T has it all together. Congrats on the win, L&T!
Good Job Casey!
Do you have to shine those shoes?
Mazel tov!
Methinks Satchmo looks down at the L&T Casey and thumps his tail approvingly over this development. Congrats to the team!
Go Casey… !!! We’re thrilled for you and the entire team. Keep making all of us soccer moms & dads proud.
What position do you play?
The number of houses John McCain owns is still higher than the number of colleges at which Sarah Palin matriculated!
BTW, I’m a faculty member at the school that the TL&T casey and the Lady Silverswords beat. That, plus the attention the Republican Veep nominee have put on us, has made for a very sad week here in paradise. Thankfully we’ve had the rest of the snowbilly circus to make us smile.
More importantly, you realize this make you qualified to be VP, don’t you?
Yay! Go, team, go! Sis boom bah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
OK, so I’m a dork. Live with it. My wife does…
I have no idea what y’all are talking about, but I’m assuming this is good news–especially if it involved “doinking” wingnuts. Keep up the good work.
Yay!
