Comments

I just got through reading some comments which made me want to blog some more. My computer is still in the shop so I have to use Matt's computer when he is not home.

I forgot to mention our fans in the previous post and they are AWESOME. I thought this was very clever. They had three letters T V W for TV Werne but the T was colored like the German flag, the V was like the Serbian flag and the W was like the American flag. Very clever indeed. Also, they have confetti that they throw when we score big buckets. Also, very creative. I can't really say enough about the Sixth Man Crew. They do an awesome job and make the game even more enjoyable.

As for the weather out here. I guess it has been an unusual winter for Germany. We had a few inches of snow on the ground for about two weeks which was very unusual and it was extremely cold, like MN cold. Now it has gotten back to normal and there isn't any snow on the ground and probably between 35-45 degrees everyday so not too cold. Much sunnier too than during the last few months which is also a plus.

To answer Matt's question I believe I only received two tickets for speeding in the U.S. but being pulled over is a completely different number.

Love for overseas

I hope you all had a good game yesterday. I was really hoping for a blog but I will have to show patience and wait for the update!

Well I am very sad to announce that RVHS recently had two major upsets, one to montevideo and more recently to worthington. I can blame the montevideo loss on the officials because the made the absolute worst calls, in the second half I swear Redwood had like 10 fouls while Monte had only like ZERO...Yea sounds really fair huh? Then we traveled to Worthington where it was quite interesting. The fans there are terrible and if we did any of the stuff they were doing we'd get a waning and prob get kicked out of the game. So I think they had some sort of a unfair advantage over us...Excuses excuses I know but really I dont care... :D So yes very very sad so now we need some extra cheering from way across the ocean and plus you should be cheering for your old team!!! Tonight we play JCC the 3rd we play Marshall who we've already beat and the 6th we play Windom...And it goes on from there
p.s. Another reason we need more cheering is because now I belive we are second in our conference since we lost to Worthington who is in first...but they've played one more game than we have and have only lost one game...while we have two :( So keep us in your minds and hearts and if we lose another game im gonna blame it on you for "not cheering" :).

P.S. I just wanted to let you know that we won last night against JCC...it was a pretty easy game and tonigt we play Marshall and I'll let you know how that one goes.

P.S. P.S. We just won against marshall last night but the refs were still terrible they may have well been blind...someone could get pushed and they would call nothing and the other team could like ATTACK our guys and squish them and do whatever they wanted but that would be O.K.... but if we tried to do that...hahaha...I'm pretty sure one kid spit on the floor but all he had to do was wipe it up!!! And there was this one kid who would just push his say under the basket....yea it was to say the least an interesting game...it made my angry there were a TON of Fouls and prob technical fouls that should have been called on marshal that NEVER were....So were still winning...even with refs that pretty much suck!!!
