We were the Spice Boys.

Since a lot of them, the varsity boys and some of the girls, ran during the summer, we have been able to hit some hill work and speed work earlier in the season. Plus, we have added some circuit training; which includes sit-ups, push-ups and various other exercises to build the core muscles.

Of course they have an image of being bad boys and being the dirty boys of the National Football League, ... but a reputation means nothing. What means something is going out there and executing on that particular day.

The boys approached me and asked if they could do it. The seniors grew up with him. It was a nice thing to do.

[One of the new boys, Skacel, must be bearing down on some kind of record at this point. He scored his fifth goal in five consecutive league matches yesterday and is just one behind Henrik Larsson's record in the SPL.] Our strikers will get better, fitter and stronger, ... but it's important that other players chip in with goals.

I figured Matt and the boys would win this -- they've been cleaning up.
