I appreciate that you stand behind your words Kevin and was by no means calling you out this time; I just wish all had the same fortitude. Help me out here, is mcneito your alter id, I'm just trying to figure out why you jump into this conversation so upset.

To say I hid behind my camera is going a bit far, I was five feet from the field and a good 40 ft away from that other fella you spoke to, so I was nowhere near your line of sight and you walked right back on the field, not even looking my way. I dismissed it and by no means hid, I'm 6'2" and 240 lbs it's not easy for me to hide.
I would have been happy to share my thoughts as I have on this board. I've said UVSC is a good team and that your scores speak for themselves, I felt nothing else needed to be said.
Then all the CCLA attacking began from others. I felt someone needed to step up, especially when they based their argument on the lack of scores. If you know someone with better perspective when it comes to how the CCLA (biased or not) compares to other conferences, I'd love to hear their insights.
When asked by Claremont about the WCLL vs RMLC, I gave my opinion. Again, I've only seen one WCLL game, so I am trying not to jump to conclusions, but when asked who was better (an 18 goal defeat is hard to debate), I made my inkling known and even mcneito agreed.

Central Michigan is no slouch (they are a school of 28,000 students and finished last year #4 in the nation on LaxPower), but I agree we didn't play as I thought we were capable of and my #9 vote for Calvin reflected it.

Surely you're jumping to conclusions too quickly, we are a nice team, with one player who ruffles some feathers, but please don't hold my words against the players of Calvin.

I didn't get a sense of this soft side from your play. What is it that caused you to respond this way? Things get said on message boards and not always with the smoothest of words, but I in no way intended to discredit, degrade, or demote the UVSC program. You guys have got something going that is the envy of many a team, good luck with the rest of your season.
Shalom.
