Boy, Florida is a long way from Jackson, TN. 16 hours in fact in a bus, although the bus is adequate and pretty modern, theres no way from getting away that it is a bus and is not the ideal sleep conditions! I slept around 1 hour in total of the 32 hour round trip, I'm tired now.
Anyways, the trip got off to a great start on Saturday night beating Southeastern University 3-2, for our first win of the season :)
The game was delayed 1 hour as thunderstorms had been present all day so the match officials waited until it was clear for safety reasons. The ref's only good decision of the night! I cleanly tackled an opponent only to get off the ground to realise he had given a foul, so I calmly(ish) pleaded my case only to receive a caution.......
Onto to Sunday and the University paid for us to go to the theme park Cypruss gardens. The park was average but thoroughly enjoyed and good chance to strength bonds with team-mates outside playing soccer!
On Monday morning we headed out to Tampa to play Webber international. In the heat around 100 degrees we struggled to get going and lost 4-2. I was gutted not to have myself 2 goals but luck was not on my side! Their team was full of English players, so it was good to put yourself up against the auld enemy.
Then straight after the result we headed home on a long and quiet bus with the disappoint of losing the final game. We arrived back at Union University at 7 am and I went straight to bed to sleep all day.
First home game on Saturday at 7pm, can't wait!!
Hope your well
Michael

C'mon Mike, can't believe you lay down to the English...
Welcome to the world of long drives. You will get used to 16 hour road trips. When you go home to Scotland you will think nothing of driving 2 or 3 hours.
