| Head coach Sigi showing off his enthusiasm after a big win! |
It has been close to two months since our last post and in
that span of time we have played five games, winning four and tying in another.
Our victories came against the Franken Knights, a team who defeated us earlier
in the year, the Saarland Hurricanes twice, and the Stuttgart Scorpions. Our
game against Marburg was crucial for both teams to win as the winner of this
game would gain sole possession of first place in the South division and hold
its own destiny regarding playoff seeding. Unfortunately, we tied and Marburg
held onto first place in the division and we no longer controlled the outcome
of our season. The result was very disappointing to our team as no one enjoys
tying in sports, or any game for that matter (except maybe soccer). So we had
two choices in front of us, we could decide to sulk, point fingers, live in the
past, and become content with second place, or we could come together as great
teams always do, look towards the next week and give it everything we had to
win out for the remainder of the season. And here we are, with our regular season
finale this Saturday against the Rhein-Neckar Bandits. Having not lost a game
since Marburg, we find ourselves once again with all of the control in our
hands. A win and we secure first place in the GFL South and home-field
advantage in the playoffs. A loss and we take second place and receive only one
home game. This will be a good test for us as Rhein-Neckar would like nothing
more than to dethrone the defending South champions and avenge their loss to us
earlier this year. That being said, I believe we are hitting our stride as a
team at the perfect time of the season and we should take care of business
against the Bandits and carry the momentum into the playoffs.
The past two months
have been action packed with football, travelling, and visitors here to see all
of us Amis. All of our families have come
and gone, as well as friends from both home and Linfield have got the
Schwabisch Hall experience. It means the
world to all of us to share our experiences first hand with our best friends
from home and we are excited to share with everyone back home in another
month. Since our last post our journeys
have taken us to Ireland, Austria, Holland, local Oktoberfests, brewery tours,
and many museums. Following the game
tomorrow we will give a rundown of the playoffs as well as details from all of
the sites we have seen. Happy opening
weekend of college football and the NFL!
May all of your fantasy teams be successful.
Go Unicorns,
Drew and Taylor
