Last night, Tuesday, we had an impromptu booster club meeting. The playoff bound T-shirts came in and they wanted to hand them out as fast as possible. I like the idea of the shirts; I was the one who brought it up at the last booster club meeting after a coworker told me her kid at Bowie was getting one for their efforts. I can't complain about the shirt itself and the fact that it was made so quickly is also pretty awesome, but it is a first-generation shirt, and I can only hope that if the Cougars can keep winning, then the shirts will be getting better.
The shirt said everything it needed to say, and the back even had the whole team and staff listed, which is the cherry on top. If there is something I didn't like, it is the overuse of white. The shirt is solid black, and the writing is in white. Being that the school colors are more black, brown and gold, maybe tan, I would have preferred if the writing was all done in gold or tan, just so it wouldn't contrast so strongly with the black. I kind of also thought a brown T-shirt would have been better.
Another little problem is that we ordered way too many shirts, at first only those that paid for shirts were going to get one, so I had ordered about five extra, in case any of Mijo's friends did not get one, but then the coach told the booster club that all the varsity boys were to get one, along with the trainers and coaching staff. Pretty much, anyone mentioned on the shirt, qualified for a free shirt. This message did not get to us until the day after the shirts had been ordered. I am sure we will find kids who wouldn't mind having a shirt, Mijo does have a couple of friends outside of the football team.
There is a little bit of excitement in the air, we all seem to think our Coogs can beat the first-round opponent of the playoffs, even the boys looking at the tape aren't seeing someone as dominating as LBJ was last week. It will be an exciting game come Friday night, even the weather is up in the air, it might be a cold night, we'll have to wait until Friday night to see what happens.
