Plane Trip Conversion
The freshmen are on the plane and bound for Seattle today. 5 hours is a long time to sit but thinking about the game will make to trip go faster. What do think Dane, Brandon and Taurian are thinking about? I could speculate:
The first freshman may be thinking about making every catch to keep drive alive and maybe blocking more effectively. The last couple of games where excellent games to sort out problem areas. The abilities are there, we just need to make those catches.

"I've got that first TD under my belt now so let's see if I can do it again. That Reggie Corner was very good, I wonder if the Huskies have someone like him? Our wides are going to smoke them in the secondary."
|
The second freshman is thinking about the opening Kickoff and how much fun that was running 40 yards and almost breaking loose for a TD.
Quote:
|
"Maybe this week I will be able to return one all the way. Ray will be there too and the Huskies will have the both of us to contend with."

As they cross the Rockies, he watches out the window at the mountains and for a few minutes his mind is off football. Then, he thinks.
Quote:

"I really just want to help out the team and do my job, hold onto the ball, and maybe catch a few passes. I like catching passes, the field is wide open and I love running long for a TD. Then again, running off tackle is good too, let's hope I don't get too aggressive and jump out there too soon. Be patient and wait for the lineman to open up a whole. I've got the speed, just give me some room to run. If I score again (I have two now), none of that jumping up and celebrating, just hand the ref the ball and slap a few hands. that's good for me."
|
The third freshman like all has been wanting more touches and has been wanting to go deep to show everyone his downfield speed. He knows he can jump for the ball and know TB will throw it perfectly so he can make that long ball play. A silent voice says
Quote:
|
"I liked catchin that one from Antonio and runnin 37 yards, I'll settle for another like that for a TD. Just get me the ball I can do it. A few short ones for first downs and I'll be good."
|
Several hours has gone by and the plane approaches SeaTac as the team rustles around for their I-pods and reading materials. As the plane approaches Seattle, the three freshman are quitely, nervously and confidently playing the game in their heads and making the big plays that they know they can make. Visualizing a win and helping the team meet that goal this week is everyone's goal. Big game, long drive to get there, many noisy fans to contend with at Husky stadium. Let's hope they silence that noise and return with a victory. Oh, when sightseeing, you got to try the Fishermans Market and have the guy throw a fish to you over the counter but don't run with after the catch - you may want to pay for it first! 
Go Young Bucks!

Reason: S&G fixes and removed the Poop from the majestic mountains - State Park doesn't allow "pooping"

Just taking a quick break to see if anyone read this, wow, I'd better go back to writing about 40 times and shuttle speed.
LOL, this was supposed to be entertaining! The inflight movie could be a game film or Godzilla meets the Megladon. These freshman probably would rather watch the later but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Nothing like a bad horror film (or post) to get you fired up before the big game.
Sorry I scared you guys! It must be my literary style!
Go Bucks
