No matter where you reside I know what you are thinking. If you are a Buffalo area resident, you’re impatiently wondering when the new kickball season begins because you simply cannot get enough of Kickapotamus! If you are from other places around the world you are most certainly wondering when Eddie will write another blog about the best adult kickball team this side of Kentucky. Well I have great news for all of you! Today is the day and tonight is the night! Kickapotamus returns with a brand new season (why do I suddenly feel like Kickapotamus is a TV show) starting tonight at 7:15pm.
What’s new? Well some new teammates/cast members have been added. Some seriously specific practices occurred during the offseason to improve our team game in several areas such as chasing down a runner, throwing with improved accuracy, evading throws, directional kicking, trying not to close our eyes and scream when the ball is coming at us, and drinking a beer and catching the ball at the same time. I’d explain further but it’s all highly technical stuff and I would hate to bore or confuse all of you.
I should also mention that I’ll be playing this season in honor of Kickabot who suffered an untimely demise at the end of last season although his spirit lives on in all of us and of course on Facebook.
All of our hard work and patience while we’ve lost 13 or 14 games in a row since 2 seasons ago should pay off this season with some wins. That’s right, plural. I’m predicting we will win at least 2 games during this late summer season. It all begins tonight. Do you really want to miss our first win in over a year? It could happen and if this rain allows us to play we might just surprise some people. Plus I made a special new t-shirt for tonight’s game since our team t-shirts are currently in limbo. Don’t you want to be able to enjoy my third-rate artwork?
It may be 5 syllables but it’s just one goal!
Kickapotamus Go!
Game Details:
7:15pm tonight, weather permitting against “Kicking Balls and Taking Names” at the soccer field off Rumsey Rd in Delaware Park, on the Hoyt Lake side of Delaware Park. The field and parking on the road is right off of Delaware Avenue and Forest Avenue.
