Preseason Ends, Is Autumn beginning?

The temperature after sunrise this morning in Chicago was 57 degrees. It is beginning to feel a whole lot like September, meaning that summer may be in our rear-view mirror. So as our players head to their first classes of the year this morning, I'm guessing few of them are wearing shorts and tee-shirts and more are leaning towards long-sleeves and jeans.

The switch to a "normal" college schedule, with classes and without freshman orientation, means that we are in our "normal" practice schedule. You'll see us out on Wasylik field between 4:30-6:30 most days. This Saturday we will hold our annual Red/Black intrasquad scrimmage on the Farwell Field turf in anticipation of Wednesday's season opener...Whew. I just got nervous.

2010 Season Is Underway

The first three-a-day and two-a-day practices are over. The first scrimmage is under our belts. The soreness is ever-present but the blisters are fading. The freshmen are meeting their roommates and dormmates and classmates and the upperclassmen are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their friends. In other words, another season has begun.

We are loving the new Sports and Recreation Center, getting to know our new Athletic Trainer, and getting used to the fact that our conference peers expect us to contend for the Championship this season.

Our full and official roster will soon be posted on the Forester Athletics website.

In the meantime, we will be busily preparing for our first game on September 1 vs. Concordia College of Chicago.
