Alumni Win

I never know what to think about the result of an Alumni game, at least, not as an alumni. Today was the North Central University alumni soccer game. It is a tradition at our school to have it take place before the team's first game, giving them an opportunity to have game feel before their season starts.

As a player, these games were never competitive. However, in the last 3 or 4 years, we have graduated enough good players to make this game fairly competitive. In fact, the last four years the games have been split, with the alumni winning two and the team winning two. Today, the alumni won.

Every time I step on the field I want to win, so I hoped the alumni would win. Every time the game is over I wish that the actual team had crushed us, not because we are old, but because it would mean they are so prepared for their season.

I don't really know what to think about this year.
