TOC
Hey Guys, Just a few thoughts on the TOC. It was nice to put a face to the names on the board. Great to meet a couple of nice guys in OTE 24 and Lemons. With all the rain and withdrawals, I thought the staff did a good job. I would never had thought we would play as early as we did on Sat with all the rain on Friday but we did. I had to be woke up by my teammate and he said are you ready to go. Field 5 on Sat late was horrible with the sun. We were luck to come out on top in that game. Prime Time good bunch of guys sorry the conitions were not better. Thanks Harry #20 NV FORCE

Harry it was nice to meet and talk with everyone there. The conditions were miserable, but the fellowship is what made it worthwhile. We played all right for not having done much for 4 months and lost twice to a very good South Florida Heat team. Hope to see all of you again in warmer weather and better conditions. Mel

Hey Harry,

You guys did well at the TOC. I thought it was a nice gesture for you guys and SSUSA, to allow the 2 guys on our team to play with you since they were the only guys on our team that could make it. It made their trip worthwhile. Good Luck in the coming year.

P.S. We have some snow coming in today, and some more possibly by the end of the week, I don't know if you'll get out of any shoveling this time.
See you soon,
Greg

Greg, We had a good time and I enjoyed playing with Hubbie and Ross. TNT played great in the two games that we played them. All things consider it was a good experience. I would like to get the opportunity to do it again, so we will see what happens in 60s division next year.

Had a lot of paper work to do so know shoveling today. Ross told Terri that my free pass should be up. So it looks like shovel in hand on Tuesday.

I am somewhat surprised to see how many COLD weather teams made it to and won at the TOC.
After all the talk I would have expected less participation and certainly less wins. Great job guys, really great job!

John, It is my belief that the colder weather in Florida was a help for the northern teams. It was cold but I believe our bodies might have been more adjusted to the cold weather.Just a thought. I know that my team had six guys drive down that were supposed to fly because the other four where already there. Something about being a team. Hats off to them. Thanks Harry

This was my first trip to Florida and the TOC.
To my temmates and coaches great job. I'm proud to be a member of this them.
Many don't see me as an emotional individual, however we dealt with a lot this trip. Making the victory all the more rewarding. It's a pleasure being a Black Hack.
I want to say to the Steel Dawgs you guy are a quality team with supportive fans. Great effort.
I'd like to say thanks to Fran, Dave and the staff at the TOC. Dealing with the weather and having to make all of the adjustment due to the weather.

Harry,
Great to meet you and Ross. Congrats on your finish. Tri State is a great team with a classy bunch of guys,losing to them is no disgrace. I was glad you and the Bucs could combine along with the Sweet and Merchant teams. Dave did a great job
getting us on the fields under tough circumstances. It was a great trip,playing against good,classy competition. Good luck to NVF this year,I'm on to 60s.

John, We may meet next year in the 60s. The NVF team is going to move up to the 60s for the 2010 season. I have been told we will be playing Major to start off with. It has something to do with the current roster and the number of players on the NVF. We were classified Major for the winter worlds. We have a good number of guys going to the 60s. Thanks Harry

Well, Harry, it looks like you guys will move up to the 60s next year and I will "graduate" to the 65s! Guess I'll have to stay back so we can "lay in the weeds" for you guys!

Larry, You go ahead and move up. I sure do not want you hitting those rockets at me. Hope to see you sometime on the field. Harry
