| Hey it was great meeting Carter himself!
I did manage to get back to watch the last 2 games. Yes, I was dissappointed that center court was not used. But still glad that I got to see after coming back from dinner.
Apparantly, some refs were recalled from the OSC fields to be used for the Semi games, which was a major factor of why the Pump Schedule fell behind. Had things gone as scheduled with a full staff, the Pump Event would have really gotten the recognition it should have.
Anyway, I think Kirsten and her crew did an outstanding job and I ending up really enjoying the event.
We had a team picture taken with the ocean to our backs and then invited the Yuma Rattlers to join us for the next shot. Team Rapture from Hawaii, got funny and tried to run through accross to ruin the shot, but we invited them to join it too. LA Suicide saw the big group and we called for them to jump into the photo too. We kept waving for more players and more teams to get it to the shot. It was great, even 2 NPPL staff guys on the golf cart jumped in.
At the end everyone piled in and chanted "PUMP! PUMP! PUMP! PUMP!" It was awesome. I'll never forget the comraderie and good spirit shared by all those there. Thanks to all for making it fun! |
