Mother's Day the next day

by **Brent Burns** on Fri May 05, 2006 8:48 am

I am sure every year USLIA does recognize the mothers and wives who have lent their support and encouragement to their sons and their husbands (players, coaches, assistant coaches, and the USLIA BOD, etc.) in their quest to reach the USLIA pinnacle. I have to ask because the day after the USLIA championships conclude on May 13 is Mother's Day (May 14). Does USLIA still do that every year? Don't forget to thank your mother or your wife for her continuing love and support for you.

It always works out that the tournament is on Mother's Day weekend, but that isn't why we end on Saturday. That has to do with a couple of factors.

I was not implying as to asking why USLIA ends on a Saturday before Mother's Day. I was just wondering IF USLIA has done something traditional to honor those mothers and wives in attendance at USLIA games. I know it would be prohibitive to spend $$ on flowers.

That was what I was asking. Something at the back of my mind has been nagging at me that USLIA did that one time, didn't it?

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i believe former tourney director and all around good guy Doug Horn organized something that provided the players with mother's day cards to present. Could be an urban legend though.

Don't forget the free bottle of hot sauce, too.

How about this...what's everyone doing for their Mom on the big day...

Me, still deciding, between flowers, or a fruit flower basket...

Really original...I know...

The most original of all is giving your Mom a very special hug for being there for you the whole way.

Let's see now, that's 12 B teams, 16 A teams, and 16 Women's teams with about 35 players per team and $2.75 a pop for the cards....

....Doug, you got a spare $4,235 lying around for this?? Maybe hidden in the cushions of the couch?? (more like it IS the cushions of the couch!) :lol:

that was back in the days of the 12 mdia and 8 wdia team tourneys. still expensive. i don't know if i'm just remembering the idea or if it really happened.

Speaking as a LAX mother, who will be in Dallas- the best Mothers' Day present my son could give me would be a championship!!!! Go CSU!!

My dad and i go to my grandmas and plant flowers every year.
It's fun to have a tradition like that.

by **bullhighutewoozgriffclam** on Sun May 07, 2006 12:39 pm

I've played the top teams out there (accept Michigan) and in my opinion CSU has a very good chance at winning it. BYU will be there too. I think.

by **bullhighutewoozgriffclam** on Sun May 07, 2006 12:42 pm

Actually that can't happen. CSU vs BYU in the semis. that should be the game of the tourney. One of them vs sonoma in the championship is how I see it.

I sure hope you get your wish nj girl, thats exactly what I'm hoping for as well !!!!
