As usual, the field in Kent last night was far colder than it has any right to be. CC and I got there early, put in our vote for player reps and then proceeded to watch the rest of practice as we're both laid up with an injury. My ankle is feeling a lot better though, and I'll be suited up on Saturday.
I got a chance to ask Coach Talley about playing defensive end at the Jamboree on the 21st. Our team only has one DE going, and it's a position I've been wanting to try. He gave me sort of a "ya serious?" look and then told me to go ahead and watch the DE's practice and to be suited by next practice. I'm studying up on defense tonight and will work on my pass rushing skills more this weekend.
I'm really excited to try this while simultaneously nervous about doing it well. If I like, I'd like to stay at DE, but I think for me to truly fit that position, I'd have to put on another 15-20 pounds at least. It's ridiculously hard for me to gain weight.
At any rate, the Jamboree should be an excellent opportunity for me.
My other goal right now is to start regularly going to Local's Gym for workouts with Jesse. I e-mailed him yesterday regarding the cost, now I just need to man up and do it.
And man up and find the damn time! Damn...clocks. Stupid. Hate them.
