Greetings,
So I worked my first USD Soccer match today. My initial reaction is OY! or YIKES! if this was a regular season, it could be long.... But this is a short season, so it might not be that bad.
From my not very educated knowledge of collegiate soccer is they need more speed! The Toreros are lacking in that aspect of the sport.
Now, as for my purpose at the match. I was learning how to do the stats. I had never stated soccer before. Yes, of all the sports that I've done stats for, I've never (prior to today) done soccer. In retrospect, it is very appropriate that today is Lunar New Year. So I started a new journey at the beginning of a new year!
I picked up the program very quickly as it is not that hard to figure out. Once I got home from the match, I texted a good friend that is an SID at a local university and asked him why hadn't told me how easy stating soccer was? His response was "Hahaha. Easiest of all." Yeah, it is. In just a month on March 20th, I'll be doing the hardest of all the stat programs, Football.
On the journey home, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things for the weekend. I got a couple of salads, some strawberries and blueberries, some sunflower seeds (cause what's a salad without them?) and both fried and grilled chicken for the weekend.
Once I got everything ironed out after dinner, I recalculated and formatted my hockey power ranking sheets. With all of the COVID rescheduled games, I needed to reformat the spreadsheets.
Now, I am getting ready to go to bed. When I wake up in the morning, it will be time to go work a pair of NAIA Basketball games as the San Diego Christian College Hawks host William Jessop University. The Warriors will invade the Kroc Center tomorrow (later today) with a 10:30a women's game, followed by a men's game.
If you are looking for me on Sunday, it won't be hard to find me. Look in the living room, it is not Valentine's Day as many think. It is DAYTONA 500 Day! Along with Singles Awareness Day.
On Tuesday, it is looking like I'll do my first men's soccer game.
Off to bed to get ready for the final two games of the week. It's been almost like "normal" times this week. Six games across six days and a trip up to Burbank for good measure.
