October 25, 2004

This entry is about the future because the past no longer matters. The 2004 version of the Emory Eagles will be defined by the three games we play in the next two weeks.

The games of the next two weeks will also be the last regular season games for me and the five other seniors who have grown close together over the past four years. So, I commit the remainder of this entry to Tyler, Jon, Pat, Anthony, and Kevin, who have shared the field with me throughout college.

To Tyler- Thank you for being unflappable, steady, and flawless.
To Jon- Thank you for bringing your top game to the top games and for keeping the team humble and on our toes.
To Pat- Thank you for bringing unmatched intensity every time you step on the field and for being my mate in the back for hundreds of scrimmages.
To Anthony- Thank you for providing the spark that has made our offense click for the last four years. Watching you play in person every day is a thrill I will surely miss.
To Kevin- Thank you for being the perfect leader of this team. You have been the very persona of poise, passion, and integrity. Thank you for steering our ship so smoothly these last two seasons.

The five of you have made my college soccer experience far better than anything I could have possibly imagined.

In the next two weeks, we have the opportunity to define ourselves as champions. But, win or lose, we have defined our program, the Emory program, with dignity, class and style. For that, we should be proud.
