This past Friday night/Saturday morning was an emotional roller coaster. Rivalry week. League championship on the line. Winner would claim at least a share of the title. loser was SOL. Both teams on the playoff bubble, we were 8 they were 9, win and youre in, lose and almost guaranteed to not make it. We lose, finish the season 7-3. We are telling the boys great job buying in to what we were trying to accomplish and making it a memorable first season for our staff. We are eating dinner with our wives and they are trying to tell us to keep our heads up, blah blah blah. Im thinking the season was a failure.
Then i get THE text at 10 pm. The school that held the tie breaker for league head to head match up with us (had we won) had just been upset. I get online and see that we had been bumped back in to the playoffs with their loss (BCS style points system) and our loss to the league champs. So now we are looking at match ups and get another text that the top 2 teams in our division had been upset also. Go our separate ways. Saturday morning I wake up and check online. We made it based on our strength of schedule and body of work. We end up in the bottom half of the bracket and get the 6 seed. League champs get the 8 seed. Top half of bracket is stacked with the 2 teams we didnt want to face in the first round and we travel to the 1 team we wanted to play, to exact revenge for a loss earlier in the season. We end up with the easiest path to the finals.
Wish us luck.
