Sports Guy, oh Sports Guy, where for art thou Sports Guy? Deny thy morals, and refuse thy objectivity. For the sportlings need not know of the Red Hawk failures, only their successes.
The Sports Guy can hear the cries loud and clear. They haunt him while he sleeps, they pester him while eats, follow him to games, and glare with fear of what he might say next, as he watches, and takes notes. Well, The Sports Guy will hear it no longer.
The Sports Guy has an urgent message for Coach Sentowski and the Men's Soccer team from the rest of the NJAC. Would you please stop winning? The Red Hawks, currently sitting in third place, are one of four remaining teams in the NJAC with an undefeated record. The men's soccer team is 14-1-1 at home dating back to the beginning of last season. Trust The Sports Guy when he says that no one wants to see MSU at Pittser Field. To do so would be like trying to have more former boy-toys than J-Lo or trying to beat George W. Bush in a stupidity contest. You just can't win.
This Saturday the Red Hawks will host TCNJ at Pittser Field, both teams will come in undefeated, and only one will leave that way. The Sport Guy says The Red Hawks will win, and set the tone for the rest of the season. Last season the men's soccer team put themselves on the map, this year The Sports Guy says Ryan Morgan, Sean Horan, Mike Hogan and company will be conference champs.
The Red Hawk Volleyball team has been on a bit of a tear...downward. They've lost the last four games, and they came into Tuesday's game in fourth place hosting the defending NJAC champs, Rutgers-Newark. The Sports Guy says if it were a battle of looks, the Red Hawks would have blown the Scarlet Raiders right out of Panzer. The lady Scarlet Knights looked like something from a Stephen King novel: big, tall and ugly. But of course it was a volleyball game, and not a beauty contest, and MSU fell in three straight.
The Red Hawk football team proved that they aren't all bluff with no stuff, two weeks ago against Iona. MSU handed the Gaels their rear ends on a red platter, 42-21. After beating the snot out of this D IAA team, Frostburg University should be easy pickin's for the Red Hawks in their home opener on Saturday. Much to the surprise of The Sports Guy, the women's soccer team is still winless three games into the season. The Sports Guy knows that it's a long season, and that they haven't even played any conference games, but The Sports Guy thinks that there may be some cause for alarm. They were just one goal away from being conference champions last season, so the sportlings can only hope that the lovely ladies of the soccer team can turn it around.
The field hockey team has begun the season undefeated at 5-0. Is it just The Sports Guy, or is Beth Gottung a great coach? First she leads last year's field hockey team to their best season in school history, winning the conference. As if that wasn't enough, she takes the women's lacrosse team to the conference championship game. Now after losing two All-Americans, one all region goalie, and Sarah "The Tiny Terror" Levine, she has the field hockey team with a better record than they had at this same time last season! The Sports Guy wants to know, what is going on in Red Hawk country? National championship? Stay tuned.
Well, the new season is still young, and unfolding right before our eyes. With so many surprises yet to come, The Sports Guy is left feeling like a school-girl who just got a big box of mystery chocolates for Valentine's Day. Till next time, this is The Sports Guy.
