SB Invite Preview

Tomorrow morning we drive up the 101 to Santa Barbara. The tournament is notorious for having bad weather. This year, it rained for a week straight, from sunday at Leiout until Friday night. Weather reports say that there is only a small chance of rain over the weekend, but I know better than to believe them. I'm bringing all my tights and trash bags in preparation.

Black Tide lost all of their grass fields because of the week of rain, so only 12 men's teams are playing this weekend. Fortunately, we were seeded high enough to make it in, but CSULB got screwed over again, getting un-invited from their second tourney this year. That really sucks.

Because they're going to have to shoehorn in all the men's and women's games onto the artificial turf fields, the schedule is going to be pretty wacky. We're playing Colorado and Davis in pool play, with cross over games until 10 PM at night. One nice thing about losing the fields, at least, is that we get our first game at 10:40 instead of 8 AM.

Colorado and Davis. I'm excited about playing both of them, but they will be tough games. It's time to see what we've got.
