Well, well, well its the start of another season and I can't deny that it is starting to feel like routine around here. That's not a bad thing by any means. I'm not easy psyched out by an early loss to the reigning champions in the Arizona Outlaws--I've seen it before and I know how long the season is (although admittedly, it did get a little shorter last season). Fact is, I know the talent that we have on our team, and I'm not going to let the fact that we played 3 week 1 games back to back to back--and still come out with an L, get me down. As a player for the Baltimore Hawks, the beginning of the season does have a strange energy though. Because, if for nothing else, we are known for having really bad luck when it comes to game time. This doesn't just include having our Right Tackle line up as our starting running back for a game, but it often leads us to losing games that we absolutely should have won. It's why it took us 10 seasons to get our first title, and I'd like to think that that kind of broke the seal for us, but last season was another example of the bad luck in full force. All that being said, in Baltimore the beginning of the season is always a time to prove that we do have what it takes, and we won't let bad luck get in our way. And so we forge ahead.
