Week 6: Thomas More College

The bus ride down to Kentucky was only 6 hours but with all of our pit stops it felt like we were going to play a football game but instead was just going on a meaningless college roadtrip….which is what the trip ended up being. We stopped in Columbus Ohio where one of the most prestige schools in America is located, Ohio State University. We unloaded the whole team off the buses and looking around this enormous school just blew my mind because living in the country my whole like I never had the opportunity to see a campus so big. As we walked out to one of their many practice fields I had the opportunity to see some of their players that played at this college, and I can defiantly understand why I play at SVC and they play at OSU. We went through our long pregame that didn’t seem to go to well, but mainly because of the long long long bus ride. When we finally arrived at what looked like an abandoned holiday inn in Kentucky the focus and drive just wasn’t there with our team. Was it because of the 3 consecutive losses to teams we should have beat and not as we walk into the house of undefeated team we don’t have any condifence that we can beat this team. Why make the trip then? Why waste our team? The game was a disaster. Offense we were shut out and the only score we had was late in the 4th we had a fumble recovery for a touchdown, which at that point ment nothing because the game was basically over. Was our season over? Did we just throw in the towel?
