Logistics

Y'all already know that the scrimmage is now Wednesday at 7:30.

College Station next weekend. No hotels needed.

Plano, Aug 22-23. We are staying at:

The Westin Stonebriar Hotel & Golf Club
1549 Legacy Drive
Frisco TX 75034 United States
Phone:(1)(972) 668-8000

The link to book your room is here. The rooms are held for us until August 7, so don't procrastinate as much as I normally do.

Little Rock, September 5-7. We can stay at the Capital Hotel for $159 a night. I realize that is a little more expensive than what we usually shoot for, but it is Labor Day weekend, and it is a nice hotel (#1 in LR according to Trip Advisor). They have set aside the rooms for us, but I'm not sure it's in the system yet to book them that at that price. Hopefully on Monday we'll be able to do that. I'll let you know and pass along the link or phone number.

Also, tentatively put the ESPN/Disney tournament on your schedule. It's December 31 - January 3. There's another tournament December 4-6 we are considering as well. Try to keep those dates open for now. I will coordinate a team meeting soon to go over all this stuff.

On a personal note: If you have time  Make time to watch the movie Whiplash. Watch it with your daughters. I will go on record as saying it might be my favorite movie. It's rated "R", and there is some brutally harsh language and adult situations, but no sex or nudity. The movie is about jazz drumming, but it could just as easily be about soccer players. It's actually not about jazz drumming. It's about being the best, pushing yourself, being pushed, success, failure, relationships, balancing priorities, family...I could go on and on. Just go watch it. It's not on Netflix, but it is on other on-demand services if you look around. 

Enjoy the weekend off. It may be the last one for a while.
