Road Trip!

RUWBB started our season on the road in Oregon.  It rained like crazy the first day but temperatures in the 30's felt like heaven compared to the single digits we had here in Denver.

Road trips are great for teams-especially early in the season.  Time away from campus and other friends allows us to focus on each other and the game we truly love.  There are a lot of laughs and loud music in the vans.  The players always seem to be able to catch up on some much needed sleep.

We were able to build on the great experience from our exhibition weekend and go 2-0 in our first regular season games.  As usual, there were many ups and downs and lots of things for us all to work on.  Our team was impressive in our resilience and ability to stick together through all of the momentum swings.

We play again this Saturday at 5 pm.  Our team is conducting a canned food drive and fans can receive $1 off admission for each can of food you bring.

Game Time!

Tomorrow we will play our first games of the season.  They are exhibition games which means they don't count for anything but are played like real games.  Our players have been working hard and are ready to play against someone else, finally.

The early part of the season is usually filled with ups and downs as we mold our identity and work to establish our roles.  We have many worthy opponents who will test our toughness and execution.  We use these games to get us ready for our difficult 22 game conference season.

Playing games is the celebration of the hard work and commitment that our players put in day after day.  Tomorrow marks the beginning of a dead sprint from now until Christmas break.  We play 7 games in the next 22 days and then 5 conference games before taking a week off.

The coaches and players are ready!  We couldn't ask for a better group of people to be around and believe in each and every one of them. Come support us along the way.
